MvC2 is now considered a Capcom legend in the gaming world.
"Legend"? Excuse me...
Popular, yes. Legendary, hell no.
I suppose it depends on how one defines legendary. If you define it by sales, then no fighting game has been legendary since the 16-bit days. If you define a legend purely by age, then of course the less-than-3-year-old MvC2 hardly qualifies.
However, MvC2 is most definitely a legend in the minds of many when you look at it's ridiculous depth. The multitude of characters, assists, and systems creates a VERY wide range of playing styles that made it one of the catalysts of the competitive scene's rebirth.
If you personally don't like its frantic pace (or some other aspect of the game), that's dandy. Just don't confuse your personal opinion with the opinion of the majority of the 2D fighting game community. Is MvC2 the "HOT" game of 2003? Uhhh... no. The PS2 port was mediocre and the upcoming Xbox port's only selling point is online play (let's hope it can do it w/o lag.. tough for a game that is so fast-paced). However, it has become one of the legends of the 2D fighting genre among its fans(along with HF, ST, KoF '98, etc.).
Oh, and while SRK is chockful of forum trolls and some of the most irritating people in the universe, it is also one of the main reasons the competitive fighting game scene has seen a rebirth in recent years. Respect that and try your best to ignore the trolls.

I like the game, but I think that it lacks the finesse that some of the other fighting games have. I got really bored of it, what, 2 years ago...
I dunno, I enjoy watching SF3 matches with parries, or CVS2 matches with those incredible alpha combos that are so hard to do. MVC2 is fun, and frantic, but (to me) it's more about trapping people in the corner and doing massively destructive combos, than the art of block and counter.
Then again, I'm not that good at it ... I just don't like the stupid Gambit jump trick. That pisses me off.

Of course! I still play my NES emulator (my own NES died ages ago) to play that version of Boulder Dash, the best ever! (much better than the recent GBA port). I continue to play Solomon's key and Solstice, even if they are more than 15 years old.

I hate the game, I hate the game system, I hate the way Capcom rushed the game and let all the bugs they let in the game ("because it's not a serious game, it's for those american, we don't care")its lack of balance, precisely its lack of depth (OK, there are 56 characters and 168 assists and 168x3 combinations of teams, but so many are useless, or weak, or look the same, and overall always end in destructive combos in the corner). But most of all I hate half of the cast. I still don't understand how a bunch of stupid people with their pants on their lycra combination can be popular anywhere in the world. I wonder if the same game with 56 Capcom only characters (and less screwed Anakaris) may have been my favorite game..... Naaaaa.
おおむね大好評よ！

Yeah i hate that game.
I would say MVC 1 is legendary tho.
The problem is these big "grandpa" corporations are seeing that videogames are a multibillion dollar industry so they are finally starting to take notice. Like entertainment weekly and crap.
It hurts to look at.
To me its like Trent Lott trying to get a starring role in a Eddy Murphy movie or something.
That reminds me. I saw a Law and Order videogame today. It blew my ##$^%# mind.
Is this the end of Zombie Shakespeare?

I think MvC2 is just a fun, entertaining game to play, but I don't take it seriously.
What I REALLY hated about it though was Capcom's bias that we've been seeing with the v.s games. They add in all these new capcom guys and what do us Marvel fans get? Only venom in MvC1, and Cable and Marrow in MvC2. Ok, so I guess a big ugly plant with a Sombrero is a better choice then say The Mighty Thor or the Green Goblin? Also, I don't consider MvC2 to "really" have 56 fighters, Iron Man is the same as War Machine except War Machine has 1 extra super (which is gay, why would you pick Iron Man when you can get one extra move?!) and two wolverines, only difference is each wolvie has a different down+mk attack.
Iron Man and War Machine have very different projectile moves. I would have liked a different fighter too, but at least they aren't exactly the same.
I agree with your take on the game though. I just have fun trying to pull off ridiculous combos and don't worry about the balance.
Be kind to goblins.
