Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Cheats

Use the following to switch between characters in the middle of the game. For example if you choose Cable, Ryu, then Ken, but later in the second stage you want Ryu to appear first -- Hold L1 for the second character and R1 for the third character at the versus screen.

Press Down, Down/Left, Left, Back, LK. They will have the same moves plus extra. For example, if you do Sakura's first special, instead of her doing her combo she will do a special beam like Ryu.

After unlocking the alternate costume colors, press L1 and/or R1 when choosing a character.

The order of your fighters will appear before a versus match, with "1", "2", or "3". You can select the first and second fighters of your team, and thus change the entire team order. To select the first fighter, press LP + LK for the character marked "1", MP + MK for the character marked ''2'', or HP + HK for the character marked ''3''. Then, press the same button combos to select the second fighter. Press Start to continue.

Press Start + Select during game play.

To unlock the characters on the left and right side of the screen in the "?" boxes, you must defeat Abyss in score attack mode.

The unlockable characters in the game are Felicia, Megaman, Captain Commando, Wolverine (metal claws), Shuma Gorath, Thanos, Dan, War Machine, Ken, B.B. Hood, Silver Samurai, Sabretooth, Charlie, Akuma, Gambit, Blackheart, Dhalsim, Jin, Juggernaut, Spiral, M.Bison, Morrigan, Magento, Colossus, Cammy, Iron Man, Servbot, Roll, Chun Li, Omega Red, Storm, and the Sentinel.

Choose Juggernaut, Iron Man, and BB Hood (in that order). Put them all on their recommended assist types. Get 3 Hyper Combo bars and link them all together (L1 + R1). It should kill the opponent in one hit. This move was tested on Cable, a medium damage taker.

Select Cable as your first character with Dr. Doom with Anti-Air Assist as your partner. Keep using Cable's Pistol and Dr. Doom's Assist move at the same time. Your opponent's life gauge will decrease.

This trick works well on Abyss. Select Cabal, Wolverine, And Megaman, in any order. Wolverine usually works best first. Use Berserker Barrage to take out the first form quickly, then Cabal to waste the second form -- just keep shooting. Use the recommended assist types. By the time the third form appears, use your level 3 plus Hyper Combo (L1 + L2 type), and the result will kill or be very close to killing anyone.

Depending on the damage level, the following trick may also result in a one hit kill. If set on 3 or maximum, it will result in a one hit kill. If set on 2, it will be a 95% damage attack. Choose Spiral, Hayato, and Silver Samurai. Get to level 3 or more to use the hyper combo for all of them (L1 + R1). Have Spiral out first, then get 3 or maximum level. Yse the hyper combo and they all should come out and do their moves. Hayato should do the attack where he hits the ground and energy beams appear. Spiral should do the attack where she changes into every character and hits the opponent. Then, Silver Samurai should appear and slash at the opponent.

Choose Iron Man, War Machine, and Cable as your team, and make sure you choose projectile as their ability. Charge your super meter higher then 3, and press L1 + R1 (default for partner A and B actions). The result should be all three of your team members will use their projectile super move, which will take care of the opposition provided they do not block. Note: An advanced part of this trick is to wait until your opponent uses his partner in battle, then use the attack. The result is devastating.

Choose Juggernaut, Hulk, and Colossus to fight. Get to level 3 or maximum. When you use the hyper combo for all three at once (L1 + R1), Juggernaut should push your opponent's character to the corner. Then Colossus and The Hulk should come down from the sky to finish the job. Sometimes this may fully kill your opponent.

Chose Ryu, Captain Commando, and War Machine (recommended in that order).Wait until you get three levels in your Hyper Gauge, then let lose your hyper combos with L1 + L2 (or L1 + R1).

You can get ten points a minute if you go to training mode, choose a character and opponent, then leave the game on for about five hours. Note: Do not pause the game.

When your special meter is at 3 or higher, press L1 + R1 to do any character's special.

This trick only works in training mode. Set the combo gauge to infinity in the training menu. Then, start a super and start another one. This can be done an unlimited amount of times. This works best with characters who have beam supers.

This trick only works if you are using three Iron Men and the opponents bust out a level 3 Hyper Combo and it misses; and all three characters are in the same location. Have at least three levels on your super combo. Get close and press LP(2) then activate your level 3 super. This combo under these circumstances will hit for a minimum of 405 hits, and more for larger characters.

While Team Hyper Combos are easy and powerful, delayed combos are at most times much more powerful, though they are much more difficult due to timing it to where you get the maximum power. For example, with Megaman, War Machine, and Iron Man, if you do their team combo it will do about a 40 to 60 hit combo; On the other hand, if you do each of their combos delayed and execute it correctly, you should be able to get from 75 to over 100 hits with one solid shot. In order to do a delayed Hyper Combo, have your first character do their combo. Then as they are doing the Hyper Combo execute your next character's Hyper Combo. Then while that one is executing, use your third character's Hyper Combo. It is all about timing and may require some practice.

Play as Ryu on his recommended support type and get up to three hyper combo gauges. Then, press Quarter Circle Forward twice and R1 (or two Punch buttons). Ryu should perform an extremely powerful electrical element Sho-Ryu-Ken, cutting life down to about a quarter of health remaining under the normal damage settings. Note: The range for this attack must be very close up. It does not have as much forward momentum as a normal Sho-Ryu-Ken, but goes twice as high. It is not wise to use this move on its own. It is highly recommended that this move be used in a combo or when you are positive it will make contact.

Hayato's plasma combo variations make him a strong combo player, but most special moves lack quick recovery time and leave him wide open for an opponent to counter. Hayato's sword gives him decent reach, but only an above -average to expert player should select him up for assist type -- use his expansion type.

This takes one level of your HC Gauge. While holding LK, perform two quarter circles Forward, then press Start. It does no damage, but is funny to watch. It is basically two and a quarter circles and the Taunt button.

To change the time of the clock in the background of the clock level, simply change the PlayStation2's system time.

Press Start immediately after winning the match to move almost everywhere and have the ability to continue hitting the defeated character.

Unlock every costume and character to chose multiple people. For example, player one could chose three Charlie's and the other player could also chose three Charlie's.

Simply enter the shop and then go back. Now, enter the shop again. You'll find that part of the items have changed (for example, you'll find Iron Man instead of Megaman). You can keep doing this to get a character you like!
