Marvel Vs Capcom 2 is new on Xbox Live (and soon PSN), but is a game with a long history. One of the great things about that history is all the amazing in-game lingo the hardcore players have developed over the years, and in particular the East Coast (NYC) crew.
Perhaps the most zany and most famous of those terms is "pringles" (e.g. "oh he's so pringles!"). If you have no idea what I'm talking about, watch this famous video (beware some adult language). It's famous less for the play than for the infectious stream of Marvel slang that started players worldwide talking about pringles, curly mustaches, Haagen Dazs, and, um... the Knicks.
It was Michael "IFC Yipes" Mendoza in that video who introduced the world to the word "Pringles," but just what exactly does it mean? Comment here and let me know what you think--winner takes home an actual can of actual Pringles, signed by the actual Yipes at EVO this year (where he did a great job on this year's MVC2 commentary, and also placed 3rd!)
If you know the real meaning, great, but something new and even better than the real thing is eligible to win too--just make us smile. So... where's yo curly mustaches at?
In honor of the recent release after our long, patient wait, it's the final episode of the Marvel Vs Capcom 2 comic showdown videos, this time featuring M. Bison and Magneto.
Magnetism vs Psycho Power... which is mightier? Play tonight and find out for yourself (*hint: Magneto > Bison, at least in MVC2. I still <3 Capcom).
With 90s from GamePro, IGN, VideoGamer, and even the hard-heads at Eurogamer, it's not a question of "who likes MVC2, who doesn't" it's just a question of HOW MUCH they like it.
It's MTV's pick of the week (skip to the end for the no-longer-dramatic conclusion), and of course the critics have been smiling on it everywhere.
More important to me is the absolute tidal wave of players online, meaning not only are people picking it up, they're also taking it online, where most of you are beating the tar out of my decidedly not-good "Team Shoto."
IGN.com is out first, and not only did MVC2 pull down a shiny 9.0 out of 10, it also scored their "Editor's Choice" award (for oustanding achievement in the field of being rad). Watch the video review above, and for the more in-depth written piece, head here.
MVC2 hits XBLA tomorrow, and comes to PSN on August 13th. We'll also have some very special MVC2 contests going up in the next week to accompany the launch, so get hype!
It's another sweet wallpaper-ready MVC2 piece, complete with hand-drawn background too, and a page from the MVC2 comic book that's inpsiring all those fun trailers.
