Ok I am not gonna discuss if the game is worth the money or not, a quick summary should be enough for that.
If u don't have the original version, then yes of course no doubt
If u are a expert user, a hardcore player, yes of course.
If u didn't like the first version, no, its the same game but with more characters and so far nothing except the core gameplay(but Capcom will add a new mode in the near future, but still core gameplay so no), Ok the balance is better and some more really good design characters like Doctor Strange so go for it if you solely didn't like the original based on issue like balance and lack of characters.
First of right away, I want to really emphasize how strong Doctor Strange, I been testing each and every character assist with most of the old cast. And together, and clearly to the Eye of agamato assist, a Danger Zone mechanic, is far superior to most other assist.
hes ultra 1, the ultra back traveling projectile vertical beam, is increadiblhy good too, it can be comboed into form basically any position and attack, and its almost impossible to avoid it if Doctor Strange is X-Factored as a great chip attack
But thats obvious lets talk about the assist.
An great and pretty simply usages with this danger zone, is really that any character can utilize the help from Doctor strange making him fit in any team, as most character can do really good combos from using, but more precisely it will last for a long time be in the.
But especially 2 characters I have found that can really use this assist is Ghost rider and funny enough Dormammu.
Using Ghost riders grab hook quarter back light, you can pull the enemy into the eye. And then combo this of as normal combo with ghost rider for example using
But an even better synergy is the Dormammu flame carpet plus eye of agamto. Then we get 2 danger zones which u can place Dormamu in. But the best part is that, when an opponent get caught in the eye, it deals a lot of small damage. Leaving u to get not 1 but 2 charges with Dormammu. I have managed to just keep spamming 3 full attack constantly with using the combination of flame carpet and eye.
Some other pointers in new characters:
Vergil, assist Rapid slash(attack dash) is a really good assist for control characters as it pushes away the other character for a whole max distance, even if they block.
The character itself is very similar to Wesker, and Zero. Some kind of combo of those 2. Fun character to play.
Nemesis, I feel is just a to much standard character, he got a good wall bounce assist, but I generally haven't played it to much to say anything.
Frank West, I really dislike, he might look unique but he feels a like really boring fast/weak character.
Iron Fist, I feel poorly is bad, While his own gameplay can be good, he works to much as an energy character and have no good assist. They are all shit,
Firebrand, is hard nut to say if hes good or bad, but at least hes very unique, he flies constantly so hes great counter pick against character that have problem with that. Especially down direct attack, e.g Sentinel.
Strider Hiryu, I dont know feels just like a copy from MVC2
Nova I haven't played enough yet, but hes not overpowered as people have said.
Rocket Raccoon, is pretty standard control character, but with his low height he can be really good, The log, assist as probably most people now is really good and annoying.
Ghost Rider as mentioned is very good, probably to good
Hes a strong control and really hit hards, can launch from almost anywhere, have a great assist(chain of rebulant), easy ultra etc.
Then we have hawkeye Which is amazingly fun to play. But he is very similarity to Cable(mvc2) but I liked Cable so why not, I would say hes one of the hardest character to play, but very good, especially hes ultra arrow, whcih can punish basically anything.
At last Doctor Strange
Clearly is very unique hes projectile are delayed and then homing, got his reflect ultra, and those awesome traingels to shoot people with etc, great designed character My clear favorite.
He, Hawkeye,Firebrand and Ghost Ride for me feel I spend my money well(al thought I got the game discounted so I did only spend like 15 Dollars but anyway)
Oh yeah phoenix wright, is a joke character. I cant see him being played at top level, hes to weak. Have to pick up his items, he will lose to much health
But worst of all is that hes a randomize mechanic this is never ok, in a fighting game so no one will play him tourney wise. Poorly for the beginner user as his item can change places etc meaning different input he will be a hard character to play to.
