EVO champ Alex "Chunksta" de Souza is back with a some great Marvel Vs Capcom 2 tips. 

This week covers powerhouse character Storm--a runaway/rushdown/DHC/all-around-awesome goddess, as well as MVC2's own zany take on RE's Jill Valentine (who actually uses zombies to beat you down, and can even summon a Tyrant?!). 

Head over to IGN for the full writeup and more videos.

And now for some long-awaited MVC2 release date news.  The officially official word is:

MVC2 is coming first exclusively on Xbox LIVE Arcade as a part of Microsoft's "Summer of Arcade" program.  The Sony PSN release date will be announced soon.

It'll be 1200 Microsoft Points--much, much better than those eBay prices, and you can play this one online with the pretty new graphics.  In my head, I have already begun hitting you with my Magneto infinite.  Woot!

More MVC2 showdown action from Marvel.com, this time between vaguely grotesque Morlock Marrow and queen of the Darkstalkers scene, Morrigan. 

Marrow's "I pull bones out of my own body and throw them at you!" stuff has always creeped me out, so hopefully Morrigan can actually win one of their polls for a Capcom character.

Another new MVC2 trailer means more of our exclusive MVC2 art, courtesy of artist Joe Vriens and Capcom's John D. 

We've got the re-imagined Hulk vs Zangief (and yes, the background with that creepy clown-head is also hand-drawn) staredown above, and the comic book page panels that inspired the new trailer below:

In case you haven't been watching closely, IGN has been posting a great series of Marvel Vs Capcom 2 protip videos.  

In addition to character move lists and demo vids, there's also a bunch of good advice on overall strategy, including everything from safe supers to their best assist from MVC2 master and EVO finalist Alex "Chunksta" de Souza.
