Turns out I was right, this game is really, REALLY fun. My main misgiving about it was that it would just be far too inaccesible, too many characters to learn, too many moves to learn, etc. But its the exact opposite. While I'm sure theres a huge gap between how we were playing tonight, and people who are pro at it, you're still able to pull off amazing s*** even if you're a noob and you end up with really fun, close games that are awesome to watch for the people spectating too.
I would say this is even more accessible than Streetfighter 4, especially since if you really have absolutely NO idea what you're doing theres a simple mode where super moves and specials are bound to buttons and you just gotta press a button to make awesome looking stuff happen. It limits what you can do, but its so satisfying being able to do these awesome looking moves, that it makes you want to play more and know more, instead of turning you away with its complexity.
Great game, highly recommend, lots of fun and beautiful to look at. I laughed many times at the sheer ridiculous, over-the-top nature of some of the supers, so cool.

The Vs series has always been very accessible with things such as simple mode etc and this one is no different.
Even in standard mode, the fact that you can do massive super moves with a motion and 2 buttons rather than double motion (like in SF4) makes things a lot easier. Having said that from what i've seen so far the game does have some advanced stuff like off the ground juggles with assists to mid air tag combos etc so it doesn't just cater for the button mashers. You have to get technical if you want to win against someone who knows what they're doing.
Wolverine and Super Skrull will definitely be my go to men. Need to decide on a 3rd. Either Wesker, Dante or Zero i think. Can't wait to play it

Couldn't get the hang of Wesker, hes super fast though. Dante is pretty fun though. And deadpool is awesome :) Arthur from Ghosts and goblins was good for some laughs. Sadly, Haggar from final fight seems crap.

A lot of the standard combos require you to 'dial' in the commands in order, like:
Light attack, medium attack, heavy attack are all lined conveniently for you to tap with an arcade stick, unlike with a controller where you have one thumb to press 4 buttons. Also those trigger buttons on the 360 suck balls for fighting games. The D pad is another story :/

A crapload easier to use, standard 360 dpad controller is just painful to use.

As for dpads though, I got one of those XBox 360 controllers that have the rotating dpad, so you can turn it one way and it becomes the 360 style disc, and turn it the other way and it transforms into a ps3 style cross. Pretty sweet! And its silver.

Fixah: You're definitely not wrong about the quality of this thing. holy crap is it awesome! Grabbed MvC3 at the same time and dropped about 3-4 hours last night & another 2-3 this morning just thrashing it out. perfect responses and the joystick's range of motion is spot on.
Now to just not suck as much.

Yeah it takes a bit of getting used to but after some time you'll find yourself instinctively hitting the right buttons and doing moves/combos with a lot more ease. You will never would want to go back to a pad. Here's a thread i made in 09 of my first impressions of the 1st round of TE sticks:

Also about an hour ago I decided to make a video of double air combo I've been practising using Wolverine in MVC3. It's not the flashiest combo but it's something i came up with purely just messing around (for hours) so it's totally original. You can hear me tapping all the buttons in the background so it's mostly manual too.
L, M, L, H, Down H, S, AIR M, AIR M, AIR H, S+L (Drill Claw), Down+H, M, S, AIR M, AIR M, AIR H, S+L (Drill Claw), Fatal Claw super.
That's just some of the of stuff you'll be able to pull off with a bit of practice :D

L, M, L, H, Down H, S, AIR M, AIR M, AIR H, S+L (Drill Claw), Down + H, H, Berserker Barrage, Super Berserker Barrage , X-Factor, Weapon X Level 3.
