Yes, I do, in fact, I used to play Marvel vs. Capcom 2 on the competitive lvl, I used to participate in the Evolution Tournaments for this game a few years back...so yes, I would know a thing or two when pertaining to MvC2.
Nobody, who plays MvC2 seriously would ever use the PS2/XBox version as the one for tournament play. Look at any real MvC2 tournament and all of them will have the DreamCast MvC2.
Why, because DC MvC2 is nearly 100% arcade flawless, meaning, it's not missing sprites, which the PS2/XBox have, it does not have slow downs when alot of things get into the screen which the PS2/XBox have, damage is not scaled down to keep it 100% unlike the PS2/XBox version in which all damage is scaled down.
This makes characters who where bad in the first place, even more worse then before, and slow downs screw up players as well, not to mention hit properties/boxes for characters are completely off.
Have I played MvC2 PS2 and XBox version??? Yes, I have, in fact I own the PS2 version, and have played the XBox version numerous times, they are nearly identical to one another, while the DC version is the only real legit MvC2 game.
PS2 MvC2 is costly and sells for super high prices is because of it's rarity value, not because of it being a "good" conversion from the arcade game, which it is not.
Again PS2 version is fun for casuals and nothing too serious, but if you want serious MvC2 play with flawless gameplay at basically 100% arcade flawlessness, it's the Dream Cast version.
