\"Cable-Time<\/a><\/p>\n

Cable, \u201cTime Flip\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Cable is game-breaking. Cable is top tier. Cable is one of the few characters that can counteract himself in the game\u2019s tier rankings. So, when his least usable super is shouted, you\u2019re probably going to be shocked enough to get hit by it. Time Flip is useless, but it looks cool. Also, it\u2019s taken 13 years to figure out if he\u2019s saying time slip or time flip. We\u2019ve settled mostly on flip. And nothing is more cool than watching Cable shake his fist angrily when he misses with the move and wastes super meter. We hate Cable.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Spiral-Hyper<\/a><\/p>\n

Spiral, \u201cMetamorphose\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Amazingly, this super isn\u2019t used that much if you\u2019re fighting a lot of Spiral players. And you will, because she\u2019s a popular girl. And by popular, we mean just about anyone who has any knowledge about tiers in MvC2 will know that she\u2019s worth using. The Dance isn\u2019t used that widely because why use it when you can throw a wall of Dancing Swords? But we digress. The move still looks cool as hell as she morphs into all of the Marvel roster. Protip: The move always ends with her kicking you in the face as Cyclops.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Blackheart-Heart<\/a><\/p>\n

Blackheart, \u201cHeart of Darkness\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Once upon a time, there was a team nicknamed Team Giggles. The trio was composed of Blackheart, M. Bison and Dr. Doom. Blackheart, of the demented group, seems to do the most giggling and it\u2019s mostly because of this super. For a dude who\u2019s the spawn of the lead demon in Marvel\u2019s Hell, he sure seems to have a lot to laugh about. And, no doubt, if you\u2019re able to connect this after trapping someone with a previous Inferno and watching your little demon friends come out do massive damage, you\u2019re probably going to giggle a bit, too.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Iron<\/a><\/p>\n

Iron Man, \u201cProton Cannon\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It was hard to choose between Iron Man\u2019s version or War Machine\u2019s version of the big beam super. We love the simplicity with Iron Man\u2019s move, but we also love War Machine throwing out that random \u201cIt\u2019s my Sunday best!\u201d in Marvel vs. Capcom, too. It was too cool to attempt to figure out what War Machine was getting at the first time around. And that giant super beam of doom? Good luck blocking that thing if Iron Man decides to use it. At least he isn\u2019t using the Iron Man infinite.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Rogue-Goodnight<\/a><\/p>\n

Rogue, \u201cGood Night Sugah\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Rogue doesn\u2019t have much to go on here, but the one super she has is cute. Sure, it\u2019s pretty obvious that she\u2019s going to do it. And you\u2019re going to have try to get around the crazy concept of blocking that your opponent has. But, hey, once you launch that rush and you connect with your kiss of attribute thievery, you\u2019re well on your way. And the fact that the theft of an attribute happens is pretty amazing. You have to love this particular brand of Southern charm.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
