== Story ==
== Introduction ==
Remy LeBeau, known by his alias of Gambit, is a mutant from the X-Men comics by Marvel. A smooth talker and a well known thief, Gambit has the ability to charge objects with kinetic energy, causing them to explode. He is an anti-hero character, sometimes working with the X-Men and sometimes working against them.
Steven "Steve" Rogers, known by his alias of Captain America, is the titular character from his comic by Marvel. A rejected World War II soldier due to many health problems, he signed up for Project Rebirth and was given a super soldier serum. Captain America helped the allies win the war, but was lost at sea and frozen for decades. Now thawed, Captain America doesn't serve a particular government or organization, but rather fights for the timeless principles of freedom, equality, and justice of the American Dream.


==Gameplay==
In Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, Captain America is an all rounder with decent normals and specials that let him put out damage and traverse the screen while shielded. Captain America has a double jump, which allows him to move around a bit more freely than some characters. He has nice damage with his normals, which are pretty solid all things considered, and his specials aren't any slouch either. His Shield Slash is a fast projectile that has nice zoning, his Stars and Stripes is a lightning fast DP, and his trademark Charging Star lets him go through projectiles. His supers are also solid, with Hyper Charging Star being projectile invulnerable, Hyper Stars and Stripes being a good combo super, and the incredibly damaging Final Justice to cap it off.
Gambit is a tricky and wildly fun character with an emphasis on good spacing and zoning with his normals and his Kinetic Card and Trick Card specials. He has high damage combo conversions on point with cards and supers, and his fast ground movement - combined with Cajun Strike - makes him tricky to pin down. He is also an excellent team player, with his α-assist being a projectile that causes a pseudo-capture state, letting some characters get conversions that would otherwise be totally impossible. If you like throwing cards, nice normals, and the best damn cape animation in the business, then try your luck with Gambit.


"Don't mess with the Cajun!"
The problem with Captain America is he has no real mixup, and his shield is both his biggest strength and greatest weakness. If you do not get your shield back after throwing it with Shield Slash, Captain America becomes one of the most dysfunctional characters in the game, with no real combos, most of his specials and supers losing their protective properties, and his damage and range going way down. Couple this with his poor movement, Captain America has a really hard time getting in and applying his pressure. However, he's a damage machine, so it's good to keep him in mind. If you like all rounders with an emphasis on zoning, or are a full-blooded American hero, then be at ease with Captain America.

{{Content Box|content='''CharacterName''' is a [rough approximation of archetype] who can use [their tools] to [work towards their gameplan]. [Their] main strengths are [as follows] but their weaknesses are [so and so].
Gambit is a slippery character with an emphasis on zoning and playing with his throwing card specials. He generally does well in the middle slot, as he has a good assist with a strong safe DHC.

|pros=
*'''High Damage:''' Gambit has excellent damage on point with the right connects, getting a couple of cards into his Royal Flush super can do outstanding damage for one bar.
* Is in MvC2
*'''Great Grounded Movement:''' Gambit's fast ground dash and Cajun Strike special allow him to zip across the screen to run away or approach.
*'''Team Player:''' Gambit's α-assist is a fantastic assist that allows for wonderful synergies. He also has a safe DHC in his Cajun Explosion.
|cons=
|cons=
*'''Inconsistent Combos:''' Gambit's combos, especially with cards, are a little tricky to land, and his Royal Flush super can do wildly different amounts of damage depending on where it connects on the opponent.
* Is in MvC2
*'''Meter Usage:''' Both supers are slow, and while one is a bit better for spamming, you still have to be careful as to when you decide to use it.
*'''Weird Air Normals:''' Gambit has a very high launcher, and his air normals have some strange hitboxes, making air chains a little trickier than usual to do.

  |description= Gambit swings horizontally with the staff. Causes a recoverable knockdown on hit. Nice for knocking the opponent backward for some breathing room, but completely useless for combos solo. However, the hitbox is very high up, which means it can whiff on some crouching characters. Also has the adverse effect of granting characters unfly, so be very careful with who you use this against.

Introduction

Steven "Steve" Rogers, known by his alias of Captain America, is the titular character from his comic by Marvel. A rejected World War II soldier due to many health problems, he signed up for Project Rebirth and was given a super soldier serum. Captain America helped the allies win the war, but was lost at sea and frozen for decades. Now thawed, Captain America doesn't serve a particular government or organization, but rather fights for the timeless principles of freedom, equality, and justice of the American Dream.

In Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, Captain America is an all rounder with decent normals and specials that let him put out damage and traverse the screen while shielded. Captain America has a double jump, which allows him to move around a bit more freely than some characters. He has nice damage with his normals, which are pretty solid all things considered, and his specials aren't any slouch either. His Shield Slash is a fast projectile that has nice zoning, his Stars and Stripes is a lightning fast DP, and his trademark Charging Star lets him go through projectiles. His supers are also solid, with Hyper Charging Star being projectile invulnerable, Hyper Stars and Stripes being a good combo super, and the incredibly damaging Final Justice to cap it off.

The problem with Captain America is he has no real mixup, and his shield is both his biggest strength and greatest weakness. If you do not get your shield back after throwing it with Shield Slash, Captain America becomes one of the most dysfunctional characters in the game, with no real combos, most of his specials and supers losing their protective properties, and his damage and range going way down. Couple this with his poor movement, Captain America has a really hard time getting in and applying his pressure. However, he's a damage machine, so it's good to keep him in mind. If you like all rounders with an emphasis on zoning, or are a full-blooded American hero, then be at ease with Captain America.
