1.0 out of 5 stars Basic Videogame Guide Garbage, October 7, 2000

By	Brett Le (VA, USA) - See all my reviews

I don't know why this game is getting such high reviews, as like most video game strategy guides, Prima's Official Marvel vs. Capcom 2 guide is not worth your time. Any person can get more ACCURATE information from FAQs on the internet, and get them for free instead of paying for it here. Let me point out what I find is wrong with this guide.

For a "strategy" guide, there is little if any strategies in here. Every character is praised as being good when it obviously isn't true... claiming ANY good qualities about Chun-Li, Marrow, Anakaris, or any other of the bottom tier characters just proves that the author doesn't have any comprehension whatsoever.

There's no mentions of any traps or other types of useful information whatsover. Cable's AHVB x 3? Spiral's sword traps? Doom/Strider trap? Juggernaut glitch? Infinites? Nope, you won't find any of that good stuff here. Just a bunch of screen shots, move list, and damage numbers. Not even decent combos for each character.

Whoever thinks this guide is worth buying is either a 12 year old scrub, or hallucinating.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book can make you a master, June 1, 2001

By	"jcino" (Metairie, Louisiana USA) - See all my reviews

This book has everything you need to know to turn you into a master from what you are without this book,a sore loser who yells "Stop cheating!" in the middle of the arcade just cause you blinked when the game started and by the time you opened your eyes you had lost.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ultimate Player's Guide, July 6, 2000

By	Michael F. Brock (Murfreesboro, TN USA) - See all my reviews

This Player's Guide has all the moves for all 56 characters.If you own this game you have to go and get it. The price is good at Amazon so if you get it buy it here. It also has pictures and bios of each character and also shows the different versions of each character. All I can say is buy it now!
