Marvel vs. Capcom 2 on XBLA

But what you described for ranked matches is how SF4, BB, and SSF2THDR do their ranked system, so I'm not shocked they do it the same way with MvC2.

Yeah- i'm just not a fan for the most part. I'm realizing that for the most part I'm not as competitive as other fighting game fans. I just wish there was a ranking system for more casual players.

I'm interested in getting ranked. I'm more interested in having a fun game with a rotation of players, all of which are chatting and having a good time win or lose. I'd rather play a game where no one is pissed or crouching over corpses. Something about fighters just brings the asshole out in people.

Does the new KOF game have a similar ranking system?

*edit* I'm starting to realize that fighters in general might be over my head. That most fighting game franchises are catering to a fanbase that has been ruthlessly playing fighting games for 20 years. I played mvc2 with friends on dreamcast for a year or two. That is as serious as I ever got. Before that it was a little street fighter II turbo on genesis, but nothing competitive or cutthroat. To try to break into that 20 year skill level or participate in that world is daunting. However, i can't believe that capcom wouldn't try to build a game for both the new fight fan and the old. It seems they've built a system where they don't give me access to all the features i want because i haven't been a fight fan all my life. Furthermore, they've made fighting the computer a difficult to impossible endeavor for the casual player (at least on the HD remix. Haven't played much of MVC2, and i have SFIV in the mail to my house currently).

Maybe I'm over thinking this, but does the MVC/HDremix/SFIV system pair you with people in your skill level? Does it track that somehow? It seems that would be the way to go. If i knew the more i fought the more even the matches would be, i would probably play ranked more often.

I hear you. I like fighters and I have SOME skill beyond button mashing (been playing casually since the original SF2 days) but I am in no way an expert. You playing all these on the 360? Add me (RadarScope1) - I have HDR, and plan to get SF4 and MVC2 once my 360 is out of RROD limbo. I got MadCatz TE stick a couple weeks ago, and I wanna use it!
