And about the number of characters...MvC2 had maybe 10 really usable characters. Have you ever seen an MvC2 tournament? It's all just Storm, Sentinel, and Magneto. I'd be happy with a smaller cast of more balanced characters.
I'm expecting 36 characters.
I dunno, aside from servbot, I mastered every character in the game. I know all of servbots moves too but even with that he`s useless.
My A teams
Iron Man, BBHood, Cable
Guile, Jin, Cyclops
Ryu, Akuma, Sakura
Tbonne, Juggernaut, Hulk
Strider Hiryu, Hayato, Gambit
Wolverine, Iceman, Venom
Cammy, Spiderman, Rouge
Magneto, Sentinel, Storm (lol)
Captain Commando, Charlie, Megaman
Doctor Doom, Jill, Morrigan
Rubyheart, Sonson, Spiral
Shumagorath, Thanos, Colossus
Ken, Blackheart, Psylocke
I admit the game wasn`t at all balanced, but it was fun. I still manage to somehow play everyday
