Okay, i used to play Marvel Vs Capcom in the arcade as a kid but was never that good. But now I am still having trouble. I am pretty good at games like Soul Calibur, Street Fighter, King of Fighters, and Dead or Alive. But i just cannot seem to get any better at this game.

I have spent a lot of time in the training mode but just seem to get worse when i play in arcade mode on easy. I know there is no simple answer to this question but does any one know of a way i can get better? Or maybe just some advice. I even tried using characters that are high tier such as Storm and Magneto but i do worse with them than when i use the guys I like such as Gambit and Ken.

I would not ask for help unless I really needed it. Thank you to all who can help!

Practice makes perfect. I struggled for awhile with this game's bizzare difficulty in arcade mode, and I was finally able to nab some of the team based achievements. All I can say is, find a good team, and stick with it. Or be crazy like me and use more than one team.

After SFIV, Marvel doesn't seem too hard to me.

Getting used to the tag feel with conserving was a bit troublesome at first, now I dominate my friends and life is good.

Pick Tron Bonne w/ projectile assist and spam it with any low tier character.

I know what you mean Im the same just got it but as said practice makes perfect just look for a character your good with then keep training and do the same for 2 more or maybe like others have said try switch to look for characters and assist styles your good in =]

This may seem like simple advice to some, but I greatly appreciate everything you have all told me. I have improved a bit and finally was able to beat arcade mode. I did spam Sentinel's laser beams but i just wanted to be able to say that i got through it. Using guys I like such as Gambit i feel with this advice i have been given i can greatly improve with practice.

Once again, thank you for your help.

HOLY COW!! I mean this game is NUTS! I mean I have barely played it, I am still pretty good thanks to the many hours of Street Fighter I played but this is insane.

I was in like the 3rd or 4th round and I fought Sentinel, and two others I can't even remember maybe Venom & War Machine.... I easily beat Sentinel and then Venom and War machine spammed me with so many hypers and projective attacks and all kinds of crap raining down on me like nobody's business I don't know what the hell was going on.

Hey there are some pretty cool new "smileys" , I don't really know if their new but they haven't popped up that I had seen.

They have all the buttons and 4 directions, but not 8, or L3 R3

Maybe we should just go ahead and make some, quarter circle forward etc smileys.

There really seems to be a large jump in difficulty on the arcade's easy mode after the first few fights. Venom especially always seems to spam moves. And then the endless blocking is always annoying. I haven't even bothered to try anything but easy mode yet and I have loggen in quite a bit of time on this game.
