!!Ruby Heart
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mvc2_ruby_heart_4.jpg]]
* ActionGirl: Ruby is one of two female original characters who can pack a punch.
* AnchorsAway: Ruby Heart can use a small anchor to either capture her opponent or reel them in and blast them with a cannon from point-blank range.
* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: She leads a band of pirates and fights with them.
* CanonImmigrant: A character simply called 'Ruby' was included in the Shadaloo Combat Research Database website, an official InUniverse wiki chronicling every single character, canonical or no, associated with ''Franchise/StreetFighter''. While that Ruby has a completely different backstory, she is clearly modelled on Ruby Heart.
** Narrowly {{Averted}} in another sense, as Ruby Heart was originally conceived as a ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' character, but her pirate motif was deemed ill-fitting for the horror-themed fighting game series.
* CoolShip: The ''Partenaire'', a flying, dimension-crossing pirate ship.
* ExperiencedProtagonist: She's a swashbuckler who has been fighting bad guys for a while. She even has her own little supporting cast in her motley pirate crew.
* EyepatchOfPower: She has a futuristic-looking eyepatch that covers her right eye.
* FriendlyPirate: According to the game's lore, Heart decided to bring the heroes and villains from both companies to stop Abyss. Unusual for pirates as they're often antagonists.
* GenerationXerox: Ruby became a pirate like her father.
* GratuitousFrench: She ''might'' be speaking like this, although it's hard to tell.
* TheHero: Although ''Marvel vs. Capcom 2'' doesn't have much going on in terms of story (even by the series' usual standards), Ruby is seemingly meant to be the closest thing to a company-neutral main protagonist for the game. The roster select screen has the player 1 cursor always start on Ruby. [[AllThereInTheManual Game material also indicates that Ruby Heart was the one who recruited the good/bad guys from the Capcom and Marvel universes to help fight Abyss.]]
* HyperspaceArsenal: On top of being able to summon huge anchors and treasure chests to attack her opponents, she can summon her ship ''Partenaire'' as a super move... [[MindScrew even when she's on the ''Partenaire'' stage.]]
* ItsPersonal: After Ruby Heart makes the mistake of helping some pirates ''release'' Abyss from its slumber, she personally sees to it that she and the recruited heroes fight it and destroy it.
* MakingASplash: Ruby Heart can create pillars of water for a ranged attack.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: ''Monthly Arcadia'' info from the March 30, 2000 issue suggests that Ruby summoned the Capcom and Marvel characters because she helped an unnamed pirate crew trying to take Abyss while in its Armor of Erosion Form, which awakened and made it cause havoc.
* PirateGirl: Who she is in the first place. According to interviews by Yoshinori Ono and Seth Killian, Ruby was meant to represent the ''Darkstalkers'' series before decisions forced the production team to abort it.
* SkyPirate: The [[CoolAirship Airship stage]] is actually her ship, and it's used in the credits after arcade mode.
* TheAtoner: Ruby sees to it that Abyss is taken down because she didn't realize that the Armor of Erosion was that bad after she helped the pirate crew in the heist and realized that the item was something that was better left alone.
* TheRival: The game presents Cable as her equal on the Marvel side, since he is another tough-as-nails leader figure. By the end of the game, they seem to become quite close. We see Ruby confide in Nathan after she decides to throw Abyss's dead core into the ocean.
* TalkToTheFist: Her basic grab animation has her simply punch the opponent in the face, sending them flying.
!![=SonSon=] III
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sonson_big_mvc2.jpg]]
* ActionGirl: An Action Girl monkey to be precise.
* AffirmativeActionLegacy: Shares her name and heroic legacy with her grandfather.
* BadassAdorable: A cute, energetic monkey girl who uses her magical staff to bring the pain.
* FightingClown: While less obviously so than Amingo, [=SonSon=] has a very whimsical fighting style. [[LetsGetDangerous At least, until she transforms into a humongous were-monkey and torches you with beams of flaming breath.]]
* GenkiGirl: She's very excitable and constantly smiling.
* ItsPersonal: [=SonSon=] went for Abyss after her village was struck by an epidemic caused by Abyss' awakening.
* LegacyCharacter: [=SonSon=] is the granddaughter of [=SonSon=], the eponymous protagonist of an early Capcom game of the same name, which was based off the ''Journey to the West'' story.
* MonkeyKingLite: Like her grandfather from the original ''[=SonSon=]'' game, she's a complete pastiche of Sun Wukong with her entire moveset bursting with references to ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest''.
* PaintingTheMedium: One of her gravity-defying special moves has her run along all four sides of the screen to get to the other side of the stage.
* RuleOfFunny: Her fighting style in general. Her level 3 super move has her transform her opponent into a giant watermelon which she then devours in three bites and spits the seeds out of.
* TelescopingStaff: As any good Sun Wukong {{Expy}} should, she wields a size-changing red staff that's much more flexible than it looks. One of her super moves has her grow it to gigantic proportions and rain it down on the opponent.
!!Amingo
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mvc2_amingo_2.jpg]]
* CactusPerson: He's a giant sapient cactus man and a walking {{National Stereotype|s}} of Mexico.
* DynamicAkimbo: This is Amingo's blocking animation. That is, he does the pose and blocks attacks with it. He also assumes an increased musculature. The thing is pretty much played for RuleOfFunny.
* FightingClown: Hardly seems like much of a fighter considering his silly design and animations, but he can still throw down with the Marvel heroes and villains.
* FlunkyBoss: He can summon little cactus friends who die in one hit to attack or distract opponents.
* GratuitousMariachiBand: Amingo is basically a walking [[NationalStereotypes National Stereotype]] of Mexico, so of course he whips out a ''guitarron'' and starts jamming in his win pose.
* NatureHero: He joins the heroes because he wants to protect the plant life that Abyss has been destroying.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: While the Capcom side of the roster has its share of more cutesy, cartoony characters from other series, Amingo takes it to the next level by being a rubbery, rotund cactus-man in a cast mostly composed of humanoid characters. Only Shuma-Gorath, a cephalopoid EldritchAbomination from the Marvel multiverse, can match him in peculiarity.
* ShapeshifterWeapon: Like your average ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' character, he can morph his arms (and his entire body) into all sorts of weapons.
!!Abyss
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/abyss.gif]]
* AnimatedArmor: Abyss's first form, which towers over (most) of your characters.
* AnnoyingLaugh: His [[BeamSpam beam-spamming]] second form. "HAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHA!"
* AttackItsWeakPoint: The black sphere that serves as Abyss' core. It can only be attacked in the third form, though.
* BeamSpam: Abyss's second form uses this to mainly attack your characters. Players need to time their blocks in order to minimize the damage.
* BigBad: For ''Marvel vs. Capcom 2'', being responsible for killing almost all life on Earth.
* BodyHorror: It might be kind of hard to spot, but in his third form, Abyss' face will occasionally melt and be replaced by another identical face from within its body.
* DeathFromAbove: Abyss's first form has a shower of energy spears as a Super.
* DefeatEqualsExplosion: After you beat his third form, his core explodes.
* IdenticalStranger: Most likely a coincidence, but his third and final form bears a slight resemblance to ComicBook/{{Venom}}, who also happens to be on the roster, except gigantic and red-skinned (making him ironically similar to another famous symbiote villain, ComicBook/{{Carnage}}). Abyss even has some special moves resembling Venom's Venom Rush and Venom Fang.
* LostTechnology: Abyss was created by an ancient civilization to be the ultimate weapon many years ago. His existence became the stuff of legend in Ruby Heart's universe.
* MultipleHeadCase: Abyss's third form occasionally sprouts three heads, mainly as a taunt.
* PowerLimiter: The Armor of Erosion was created in order to help Abyss control its powers when in combat.
** EvolutionPowerup: After the armour is destroyed, Abyss changes into a slender green humanoid form. This form is known as the Guardian, which is meant to help Abyss build up power.
** SuperMode: Abyss' red form is its final form after Guardian is defeated.
* WalkingWasteland: Abyss is an embodiment of entropy, spreading death and pestilence wherever he treads. [[AllThereInTheManual The unnamed pirates that awakened it unwittingly activated its main objective:]] [[OhCrap To return everything to the Sea of Genesis.]]

!!Hayato Kanzaki
The protagonist of the ''VideoGame/StarGladiator'' series. An intergalactic bounty hunter infamous for his upstanding moral and penchant to go after criminals and other scum. He fights wielding a plasma sword.
----
* BadassBiker: One of his intro animations has him enter the screen riding his CoolBike.
* EnergyWeapon: What the plasma sword actually is: a blade of pure energy coming out of a sword grip.
* DynamicEntry: Hayato jumping off his moving bike and taking his fighting stance while activating his plasma sword.
* GroundWave: Hayato's Engetsu Hyper Combo releases a wave of energy forward.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Hayato's grab animation has him impale his plasma sword on his opponent, going fully through their torso.
* {{Kiai}}: His intro animation involves one as he activates his plasma sword. He's also very much into shouting while doing most of his sword special moves.
* LaserBlade: His main weapon is a plasma sword created from his inner psychic power. By all intends and purposes, it works exactly like [[Franchise/StarWars a lightsaber]], and even makes similar sounds.
* MasterSwordsman: Hayato is an expert with his plasma sword and can perform strikes, slashes, swipes and combo strings with ease. His mastery is best exemplified in his Plasma Combo special attacks, which are auto-combo techniques where Hayato strikes and downs the enemy using various sword strikes.
* RetractableWeapon: As seen in one of his intro animations and some of his moves, Hayato's plasma sword is an energy blade coming out of a sword pommel.
* ShockAndAwe: Although not a prominent part of his moves, some attacks do leave an electrified effect on enemies.
* {{Shoryuken}}: Hayato's Guren has him perform a rising spinning strike with his sword.
* SuperMode: His Plasma Field Hyper Combo grants him unlimited Hyper Combos for a short time if it hits the enemy.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Successfully hitting with his Lv. 3 Hyper Combo "Ura Rasetsuzan" shows Hayato transform into Black Hayato (an evil alterego implanted into Hayato by his series' BigBad) to perform a [[BlackScreenOfDeath devastating combo attack behind a black screen]].
* SwordBeam: His Engetsu Hyper Combo has him extend his plasma sword and releases a wave of energy at the opponent.
* SwordLines: His plasma sword leaves trails of energy as he swings it.
!!Jill Valentine
One of the main characters in the ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil'' franchise. A veteran and hard-trained member of the special operations group S.T.A.R.S., and one of the few who survived the horrors inside the Spencer Mansion.
----
* ActionGirl: Was already one in her home series, but here she proves she can also defend herself without the need of guns (for the most part).
* AffectionateParody: Her move Charging S.T.A.R.S. is pretty clearly parodying Captain America's Charging Star, not only in name but in the way it works as a dashing strike. And she even has an Hyper Combo variant like the Cap.
* ArbitraryGunPower: Her weapon-based normal moves aren't very impressive and she can rack up a lot more damage by chaining punches and kicks or tackle enemies with a shoulder strike.
* AssistCharacter: In a rather unique manner, Jill can call forth zombies, zombie dogs and crows to attack her opponent. The interesting part is that they ''aren't'' helping her, she needs to move out of their way so they get her opponent instead.
* BadassNormal: Jill has no extraordinary powers or technology to assist her in battle. She gets by with a movelist of punches, kicks, a few weapons and the unwilling assistance of zombified monstrosities.
* {{BFG}}: Jill pulls out a big rocket launcher for one of her Hyper Combos, in a big nod to the end boss of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil1''.
* BlindShoulderToss: One of Jill's intro animation has she standing upright facing her opponent while holding a small item, then tossing said item behind her. The item she throws is a random minor item from the first ''Resident Evil'' game, either a Small Key or an Ink Ribbon.
* CounterAttack: She has one such move, and if activated the opponent gets to eat lead as she unloads a full clip of her handgun on them.
* DashAttack: Her Charging S.T.A.R.S. move has her tackle forward shoulder-first while engulfed in fire.
* EnemySummoner: Jill can summon zombies, Cerberus dogs, crows and even the Tyrant to "help" her, although as explained before Jill is more like moving out of their way so they attack her opponent.
* ExpressiveHealthBar: When the player gets healed by Jill's Assist Type the classic cardiogram screen from ''Resident Evil'' appears, and in classic fashion it goes from the red "Danger" status to the green "Good" one.
* GenkiGirl: While normally her lines are terse and serious, one of her win animation has Jill shoot out a flare and start jumping excitedly while shouting "Come on!".
* GrenadeLauncher: One of her normal moves has her whip out a grenade launcher and shoot a grenade at an overhead arc as a decent AntiAir.
* HealingHerb: One of Jill's unique Assist Types has her hand over a Green Herb to restore a small bit of life.
* IncendiaryExponent: Jill can summon a zombie on fire to send at her opponent. Unlike the normal zombie, this one doesn't grab the opponent but explodes on contact with them.
* TheParalyzer: The effect if a zombie reaches the opponent: they grab them and munch on them for a while, leaving them helpless for Jill to capitalize.
* WholePlotReference: Her Code: T-02 Hyper Combo involves the Tyrant monster coming out of the ground and striking wildly around it, all in reference to the final boss battle of the original ''Resident Evil'' where it burst through the mansion's rooftop. The player can complete the reference by doing an extra motion near the end of the attack to make Jill produce the rocket launcher and blow the Tyrant into smithereens, just like in the original game.
!!Tron Bonne & Servbot
From the ''VideoGame/MegaManLegends'' series. Tron Bonne is a PirateGirl and leader of the Bonne Family, and a recurring (if largely ineffective) antagonist to Mega Man Volnutt. The Servbots are robot minions of her making, that loyally follow and assist her in any scheme or plot she's planning on doing, often with varying degrees of success. Servbot appears both assisting Tron in her moves, and as a separate playable character.
----
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Both characters have access to the King Servbot Hyper Combo, where Servbot grows in size and starts smashing the opponent with a giant mallet.
* DefeatEqualsExplosion:
** Tron's Gustaff explodes as part of her Time Out defeat animation, leaving a crying Tron on the floor surrounded by its parts.
** Servbot explodes when defeated in battle. As a bonus extra, his explosion leaves behind Refractor Shards that, when picked up, restore a bit of life.
* DubNameChange: Servbot is known as Kobun in Japanese.
* FictionalCurrency: Refractor Shards, used as currency in ''Mega Man Legends'', can be stolen from the enemy by Servbots grabbing them from Tron's Beacon Bomb and Servbot's Supporting Attack special moves. If the opponent is not attacked until they stop holding him, the Servbots will run away while holding shards, and if Tron/Servbot touches them they restore some lost life. When the Servbot character is defeated, he explodes and leaves behind several shards as well.
* FireBreathingDiner: Servbot's move Servbot Fire has the little fella eat some spicy curry and then release a flame from his mouth.
* HatOfFlight: Servbot has some moves where he summons other Servbots wearing little helicopter blades on their heads that allows them to fly. Tron's move Servbot Launcher shoots these kind of Servbots as well, which makes them slowly fall back into the ground.
* JokeCharacter: Servbot is incredibly weak, has zero range with his little limbs and goes down very fast in lieu of his diminutive size and defense. He does still have some limited uses, for example being able to avoid most Hyper Combos by standing still thanks to his size.
* KillerYoyo: One of Tron's normals has her spring two sharp-edged yo-yos from the limbs of the Gustaff to attack.
* LittleMissBadass: One of the youngest members of the cast at 14 years old.
* MechaMooks: The Servbots are small robotic minions that serve Tron in many of her attacks.
* MiniMecha: Tron fights by piloting a small humanoid robot called Gustaff.
* MovesetClone: Servbot has mostly the same moves Tron has, including those using other Servbots to attack, but he also has some unique moves that are only similar, such as his Servbot Fire (in place of the Gustaff Fire), or his Summoning Attack (who works like a mix of Tron's Beacon Bomb and Servbot Launcher).
* PersonalSpaceInvader: Tron's Beacon Bomb move sends Servbots to glomp the opponent, keeping it trapped in place. Servbot has a similar move where he launches another Servbot for the same effect.
* NoblewomansLaugh: Tron cracks out a pretty good laugh as part of her intro animations and after performing Assist Attacks.
* RobotBuddy: Servbots are at Tron's service at all times and provide her support in a large variety of ways, from engineering and maintaining machines to assisting in her crime heist, usually with varying degrees of effectivity. In-game they assist her in several of her moves, either trapping the opponent in place or launching themselves as projectiles to hit 'em. Servbot is also supported in the same way by the other Servbots.
* SweatDrop: If Tron misses a grab move, she stays in place with a disappointed face while a thought bubble displays the sweat drop.
* TransformingMecha: Tron's Gustaff can transform its limbs into an assortment of weapons, including metal pikes, cannons, drills, tank threads, an excavator shovel and large spikes.
* ThisIsADrill: The Bonne Strike move has Tron's Gustaff turn one of its limbs into a drill to attack.
* ZergRush: The Lunch Rush Hyper Combo, where a large line of Servbots trample the opponent. The Servbot's version of this attack is unique in that it changes the way it works depending on the Assist Type selected.

[[folder:Original Generation]]
Three original characters that debuted in this game. They all count as Capcom characters.
!!Ruby Heart
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mvc2_ruby_heart_4.jpg]]
An infamous pirate captain that sails the seven seas in search of magical objects to add to her collection. Wanting to include the legendary Armor of Erosion, she assisted a pirate group in ransacking its temple but instead they awakened the beast and got the entire world in danger of being destroyed. She decides to gather heroes from both universes in an attempt to stop Abyss before all life on Earth is gone.
----
* ActionGirl: Ruby is one of two female original characters who can pack a punch. Besides that, she's a hard-boiled pirate captain that's built a worldwide reputation as a sea-faring adventurer.
* AnchorsAway: Ruby Heart can use a small anchor to either capture her opponent or reel them in and blast them with a cannon from point-blank range.
* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: She leads a band of pirates and fights with them.
* BedsheetGhost: A sinister version of these kind of ghosts come out of a haunted treasure chest as part of a special move and Hyper Combo.
* BlindShoulderToss: Ruby Heart does exactly this in the ending: pondering over Abyss' broken core and whether she should keep it for her collection, then realizing the orb is either completely useless now or that it'd be dangerous to keep it and tossing it over her shoulder and into the ocean waters below.
* CanonImmigrant: A character simply called 'Ruby' was included in the Shadaloo Combat Research Database website, an official InUniverse wiki chronicling every single character, canonical or no, associated with ''Franchise/StreetFighter''. While that Ruby has a completely different backstory, she is clearly modelled on Ruby Heart.
** Narrowly {{Averted}} in another sense, as Ruby Heart was originally conceived as a ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' character, but her pirate motif was deemed ill-fitting for the horror-themed fighting game series.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: Ruby Heart likes to keep a collection of ancient magical objects, and the whole plot is kickstarted by her desire to add Abyss to it. In the game's ending, Ruby Heart ponders over keeping Abyss' broken core, but finally relents and drops it in the waters below.
* CoolAirship: The ''Partenaire'', a flying, dimension-crossing pirate ship. It also serves as a stage, with the normal version set on the air as she is flying, and the alternate version set while on the sea.
* ExperiencedProtagonist: She's a swashbuckler who has been fighting bad guys for a while. She even has her own little supporting cast in her motley pirate crew.
* EyepatchOfPower: She has a futuristic-looking eyepatch that covers her right eye.
* FriendlyPirate: According to the game's lore, Heart decided to bring the heroes and villains from both companies to stop Abyss. Unusual for pirates as they're often antagonists, but justified as she is partly responsible for awakening Abyss and feels the need to correct her mistake.
* GenerationXerox: Ruby became a pirate following in the footsteps of her father.
* GratuitousFrench: She ''might'' be speaking like this, although it's hard to tell. A lot of her moves are named in French, however.
* TheHero: Although ''Marvel vs. Capcom 2'' doesn't have much going on in terms of story (even by the series' usual standards), Ruby is seemingly meant to be the closest thing to a company-neutral main protagonist for the game. The roster select screen has the player 1 cursor always start on Ruby. [[AllThereInTheManual Game material also indicates that Ruby Heart was the one who recruited the good/bad guys from the Capcom and Marvel universes to help fight Abyss.]]
* HomeStage: The Ship stage, which is set on board her CoolAirship ''Partenaire''.
* HyperspaceArsenal: On top of being able to summon huge anchors and treasure chests to attack her opponents, she can summon her ship ''Partenaire'' as a super move... [[MindScrew even when she's on the ''Partenaire'' stage.]]
* ItsPersonal: After Ruby Heart makes the mistake of helping some pirates ''release'' Abyss from its slumber, she personally sees to it that she and the recruited heroes fight it and destroy it.
* TheLeader: She's the captain of a crew of rowdy pirates, who assist her in one Hyper Combo and pose alongside her for a win animation. She also serves as the de-facto leader of the Capcom side in their quest to stop Abyss.
* MakingASplash: Ruby Heart can create pillars of water for a ranged attack.
* ManaDrain: The ghosts released from a haunted chest used in one of her special moves (and its Hyper Combo variant) drain the opponents' Hyper Combo Gauge once they strike and cling to them.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: ''Monthly Arcadia'' info from the March 30, 2000 issue suggests that Ruby summoned the Capcom and Marvel characters because she helped an unnamed pirate crew trying to take Abyss while in its Armor of Erosion Form, which awakened and made it cause havoc.
* NotQuiteFlight: Her Schwarzaile special move allows her to move in the air as a ball of pure energy. Her Hyper Combo Flammeile is an upgraded form that allows her to move all over the sky as it can be done several times on quick succession at different angles.
* PirateGirl: Who she is in the first place. According to interviews by Yoshinori Ono and Seth Killian, Ruby was meant to represent the ''Darkstalkers'' series before decisions forced the production team to abort it.
* SkyPirate: The [[CoolAirship Airship stage]] is actually her ship, and it's used in the credits after arcade mode to carry the victors out of the battleground.
* TheAtoner: Ruby sees to it that Abyss is taken down because she didn't realize that the Armor of Erosion was that bad after she helped the pirate crew in the heist and realized that the item was something that was better left alone.
* TheRival: The game presents Cable as her equal on the Marvel side, since he is another tough-as-nails leader figure. By the end of the game, they seem to become quite close. We see Ruby confide in Nathan after she decides to throw Abyss's dead core into the ocean.
* TalkToTheFist: Her basic grab animation has her simply punch the opponent in the face, sending them flying.
----
!![=SonSon=]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sonson_big_mvc2.jpg]]
The granddaughter of [=SonSon=] (the protagonist of a 1984 Arcade game of the same name), she is an energetic and mischievous monkey girl in training. After her village was struck by a strange disease, she takes up her grandfather's staff and leaves on a mission to find a cure.
* ActionGirl: An Action Girl monkey to be precise.
* AffirmativeActionLegacy: Shares her name and heroic legacy with her grandfather.
* AncestralName: [=SonSon=] is named after her grandfather, which is akin to an alternate take on Sun Wukong. UDON gave her full name as [=SonSon=] III in the ''Marvel vs. Capcom Official Complete Works'' artbook, therefore implying one of her parents shares her name as well.
* BadassAdorable: A cute, energetic monkey girl who uses her magical staff to bring the pain.
* BigEater: [=SonSon=] has atleast two different moves where she tries to cook and/or eat their opponents, plus one of her Assist has her share a health-recovering peach to her partner.
* BreathWeapon: When in her Monkey King form, [=SonSon=] can perform two actions: either a MegatonPunch or a laser breath attack.
* DeathFromAbove: Her Tenchi Tsuukan Hyper Combo has her throw her staff upward, which then drops down on the opponent as a massively larger staff.
* DoomedHometown: Her village being struck by a strange disease is what pushes her into action. If the Swamp stage is indeed representing her village, then it's rapidly becoming a proper GhostTown.
* EatenAlive: The fate of whoever gets hit by [=SonSon=]'s POW Hyper Combo: turned into a random fruit and eaten. Fortunately for them, she then spits a seed that turns back into them.
* EnemySummoner: [=SonSon=] has a special move where she creates little monkeys out of hair strands, then sends them forward. This move is referencing one of Sun Wukong's abilities in ''Journey to the West''.
* FightingClown: While less obviously so than Amingo, [=SonSon=] has a very whimsical fighting style. [[LetsGetDangerous At least, until she transforms into a humongous were-monkey and torches you with beams of flaming breath.]]
* ForcedTransformation: The fate of whoever gets hit by [=SonSon=]'s POW Hyper, turned into a giant fruit and then devoured by her.
* GenkiGirl: She's very excitable and constantly smiling, and most of her animations has her doing silly poses or otherwise gushing energetically.
* HomeStage: The alternative unlockable version of the Swamp stage features strong Chinese vibes and includes a tree growing peaches, making it pretty likely her home stage. It is often believed it represents her village, with the standard derelict version being its current state under a pandemic, but this hasn't been officially confirmed.
* HulkingOut: [=SonSon=]'s Hyper Combo En'Ou transforms her into a large and muscular were-monkey for a short time. Rather than rage, however, it is stated in her bio that the transformation is triggered by how excited she gets in battle.
* ItsPersonal: [=SonSon=] went for Abyss after her village was struck by an epidemic caused by Abyss' awakening.
* KillerGorilla: What the Monkey King Hyper Combo turns [=SonSon=] into: a large and angry-looking were-monkey twice her size, that can pummel her opponents or blast them with BreathWeapon.
* LegacyCharacter: [=SonSon=] is the granddaughter of [=SonSon=], the eponymous protagonist of an early Capcom game of the same name, which was based off the ''Journey to the West'' story.
* MischiefMakingMonkey: [=SonSon=]'s mischievousness comes through in some animations where she mocks or taunts the opponent, and some of her special moves where she plays around, prances on the screen or tries to eat/cook her opponent.
* MonkeyKingLite: Like her grandfather from the original ''[=SonSon=]'' game, she's a complete pastiche of Sun Wukong with her entire moveset bursting with references to ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest''.
* {{Mooning}}: [=SonSon=]'s taunt animation is this, where she turns around, bends down and shows her rear while slapping it. While she doesn't drop her pants for this, since her pants are colored the same color as her fur, the effect at a glance is the same.
* PaintingTheMedium: One of her gravity-defying special moves has her run along all four sides of the screen to get to the other side of the stage.
* RuleOfFunny: Her fighting style in general. Her level 3 super move has her transform her opponent into a giant watermelon which she then devours in three bites and spits the seeds out of.
* ShoutOut: Several to the original ''[=SonSon=]'' Arcade game:
** One of [=SonSon=]'s colors is an all-blue palette, a reference to the MirrorBoss character from ''[=SonSon=] II''.
** Her POW Hyper Combo references the item from the game and its effect, as it turns all enemies into fruit when picked up.
* SpectacularSpinning: [=SonSon=] has some normal moves where she spins her staff around to attack, as well as a special move where she rises up while spinning it. [[SpinToDeflectStuff Her blocking animation also involves her staff spinning in front of her]].
* TelescopingStaff: As any good Sun Wukong {{Expy}} should, she wields a size-changing red staff that's much more flexible than it looks. One of her super moves has her grow it to gigantic proportions and rain it down on the opponent. As stated in her bio, the staff is ''actually'' the Ruyi Jingu Bang she inherited from her grandfather.
----
!!Amingo
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mvc2_amingo_2.jpg]]
A member of a race of sentient plant life known as the "Man-Plants", Amingo is a cheerful and gentle big cactus man. Following Abyss' awakening, cursed winds started sweeping the lands and killing all of its plant life, so Amingo leaves on a quest to find and stop the source of this happening.
----
* CactusPerson: He's a giant sapient cactus man and a walking {{National Stereotype|s}} of Mexico.
* DynamicAkimbo: This is Amingo's blocking animation. That is, he does the pose and blocks attacks with it. He also assumes an increased musculature and his chest sprouts spikes. The thing is pretty much played for RuleOfFunny.
* FightingClown: Hardly seems like much of a fighter considering his silly design and animations, but he can still throw down with the Marvel heroes and villains.
* FlunkyBoss: He can summon little cactus friends who die in one hit to attack or distract opponents.
* GratuitousMariachiBand: Amingo is basically a walking [[NationalStereotypes National Stereotype]] of Mexico, so of course he whips out a ''guitarron'' and starts jamming in his win pose.
* GentleGiant: Amingo is an easy-going and cheery rather large/rotund cactus man.
* HomeStage: The desert stage is considered his home stage, as it has a sombrero, sash and poncho hanged on the background.
* NatureHero: He joins the heroes because he wants to protect the plant life that Abyss has been destroying.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: While the Capcom side of the roster has its share of more cutesy, cartoony characters from other series, Amingo takes it to the next level by being a rubbery, rotund cactus-man in a cast mostly composed of humanoid characters. Only Shuma-Gorath, a cephalopoid EldritchAbomination from the Marvel multiverse, can match him in peculiarity.
* PokemonSpeak: Amingo's lines are mostly made-up of grunts, growls and his own name.
* ShapeshifterWeapon: Like your average ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' character, he can morph his arms (and his entire body) into all sorts of different forms (in his case a number of different plant types) which he uses to attack.
* SpikeBallsOfDoom: Some of Amingo's attacks sees him turning into a ball with spikes surrounding his waistline or surface.

[[folder:Boss]]
!!Abyss
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/abyss.gif]]
A legendary creature created in ancient times, in an age where magic prospered, Abyss is a forbidden weapon that was so dangerous it was sealed off inside a temple within a volcano. A pirate group assisted by Ruby Heart broke into its resting place planning to steal it, but they only managed to awake it from its slumber. Abyss' final goal is to destroy all life and bring it back to primordial times, with its mere presence being enough to generate hideous waves of corruption that kill all life on both sea and land.
----
* AnimatedArmor: Abyss's first form, which towers over (most of) the games' cast.
* AnnoyingLaugh: Abyss' [[BeamSpam beam-spamming]] second form. "HAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHA!"
* AttackItsWeakPoint: The black sphere that serves as Abyss' core. It can only be attacked in the third form, though.
* BeamSpam: Abyss's second form uses beams as one of two basic attacks he spams on the fight. Players need to time their blocks in order to minimize the damage.
* BigBad: For ''Marvel vs. Capcom 2'', being responsible for killing almost all life on Earth.
* BlobMonster: Abyss' true self is the large black orb that becomes visible on its third form, but it can control a slimy green (and later red) substance that's all over its sealed temple. Abyss uses this liquid to form the bodies of its 2nd and 3rd form, control the Armor of Erosion from within by filling it with the liquid, and separate parts of it to mold them into various different attacks.
* BodyHorror: It might be kind of hard to spot, but in its third form, Abyss' face will occasionally melt and be replaced by another identical face from within its body. He also springs out three demonic heads in one of his win poses.
* BubbleGun: Abyss' second form has an Hyper Combo where it releases several bubbles into the field, [[FloatingInABubble capturing the player and leaving them open for attacks unless they mash up in order to break free in time]].
* DeathFromAbove: Abyss's first form has a shower of energy spears as a Hyper Combo.
* DefeatEqualsExplosion: After you beat its third form, its core explodes.
* GetBackHereBoss: The third phase of the fight becomes this, as Abyss moves all around while attacking (even from offscreen!), and the player has to keep track and attack the black orb making up its core.
* HarmlessLiquefaction: One of the most annoying abilities of Abyss in its Guardian and final forms is the capacity to liquify itself and disappear into the ground, allowing it both to avoid attacks and teleport around the arena, reforming its body somewhere else (often behind the player character) to perform an attack.
* HornsOfBarbarism: The Armor of Erosion sports two large green horns (made out of the slime Abyss controls) jutting out of its helmet, and they are a pretty decent cue to know just how much violent and unstoppable this monster is.
* IdenticalStranger: Most likely a coincidence, but its third and final form bears a slight resemblance to ComicBook/{{Venom}}, who also happens to be on the roster, except gigantic and red-skinned (making him ironically similar to another famous symbiote villain, ComicBook/{{Carnage}}). Abyss even has some special moves resembling Venom's Venom Rush and Venom Fang.
* ImAHumanitarian: In one of its win animations in its 3rd form, Abyss strikes the downed opponent to send it flying and then leaps and devours them. Its stated final goal is to do this to ''all the life on Earth'' as a way of returning them to the Sea of Genesis.
* ImplacableMan: The Armor of Erosion is a giant suit of black armor with inmense power, that's slowly walking up to the player to utterly crush them...and the strongest attack possible can at most ''delay'' it slightly before it strikes. Not for nothing jumping all over is a viable (and recommended) strategy.
* LeanAndMean: The Guardian form takes the appearance of a skinny green man with a powerful ArmCannon and no legs (they are liquid and merge into the ground, which is covered in the same liquid). Coupled with its EvilLaugh and trollish gameplay, and you get one evil (and seriously annoying) bastard.
* LostTechnology: Abyss was created by an ancient civilization to be the ultimate weapon many years ago. Its existence became the stuff of legend in Ruby Heart's universe.
* MultipleHeadCase: Abyss's third form occasionally sprouts three heads, mainly as a taunt.
* MightyGlacier: Abyss' first/Armor form, possessing great strength, large screen-covering moves and being completely inmune to stunning while attacking...but obviously, the Armor is slow as molasses and its attacks come out really slow and with plenty of telegraphing.
* MyRulesAreNotYourRules: Abyss' third form can move offscreen and even perform moves and attack from outside the player's view, something no playable character can do.
* NoSell: Abyss (in all three forms) is completely inmune to flinching and can't be hit out of any of its animations.
* OriginalGeneration: Abyss is the first and only boss in the series so far to be a 100% original character, all previous bosses were either already-existing characters from either company, or an hybrid character made up of a character/concept from each company.
* {{Phlegmings}}: Abyss' third form dosplays a copious amount of green slime drooling out of its massive and sharp-toothed jaw.
* PlayingWithFire: Final Form Abyss can attack by using large pillars of fire it releases from the ground or straight ahead from its back. It also has a large flame attack similar to Dhalsim's Yoga Blast.
* PowerLimiter: The Armor of Erosion was created in order to help Abyss control its powers when in combat.
** EvolutionPowerup: After the armour is destroyed, Abyss changes into a slender green humanoid form. This form is known as the Guardian, which is meant to help Abyss build up power.
** SuperMode: Abyss' red form is its final form after Guardian is defeated.
* RedIsViolent: For its third and final form, the green liquid Abyss manipulates to create its bodies (and which also permeates the entire stage), as well as the entire sky, turn blood red. Then there's Abyss final form created with said liquid: compared to the first (who is violent but subdued due to its slow pace) and the second (who is annoying and trollish), final Abyss form is large demonic creature that, among other attacks, can violently slam the ground with its limbs, jump at the player with a giant toothy mouth or create outbursts of fire either as pillars or prjectiles.
* SealedEvilInACan: Abyss was sealed up within a temple located inside an active volcano in the middle of a vast body of water. The actions of a pirate group (assisted by Ruby Heart) broke the seal and awakened the monster within.
* SequentialBoss: As the natural result of being the FinalBoss in a 3-on-3 tag team fighting game, Abyss has no team but 3 separate forms it takes to face the player's team in battle, with each forms representing Abyss slowly regaining its true power.
* SpamAttack: Abyss' second/Guardian form has this as its almost exclusive strategy: it has only two normal moves: a laser beam or a flame strike, both coming out of its ArmCannon. So the whole battle boils down to having to dodge/block and quickly approach Abyss while it spams both attacks constantly while laughing, only breaking this pattern to throw in one of its two Hyper Combos (one of which captures you, leaving you open for more spam).
* ThroneRoomThrowdown: The first battle against Abyss is set in front of an ivory throne in the center of his temple.
* UseYourHead: Armor of Erosion Abyss has a dashing headbutt Hyper Combo similar to Juggernaut's Headcrush.
* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: Abyss' final goal is to devour all life on Earth to return it to primordial times.
* WalkingWasteland: Abyss is an embodiment of entropy, spreading death and pestilence wherever it treads. [[AllThereInTheManual The unnamed pirates that awakened it unwittingly activated its main objective:]] [[OhCrap To return everything to the Sea of Genesis.]]
[[/folder]]
!!Hayato Kanzaki
The protagonist of the ''VideoGame/StarGladiator'' series. An intergalactic bounty hunter infamous for his upstanding moral and penchant to go after criminals and other scum. He fights wielding a plasma sword.
----
* BadassBiker: One of his intro animations has him enter the screen riding his CoolBike.
* EnergyWeapon: What the plasma sword actually is: a blade of pure energy coming out of a sword grip.
* DynamicEntry: Hayato jumping off his moving bike and taking his fighting stance while activating his plasma sword.
* GroundWave: Hayato's Engetsu Hyper Combo releases a wave of energy forward.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Hayato's grab animation has him impale his plasma sword on his opponent, going fully through their torso.
* {{Kiai}}: His intro animation involves one as he activates his plasma sword. He's also very much into shouting while doing most of his sword special moves.
* LaserBlade: His main weapon is a plasma sword created from his inner psychic power. By all intends and purposes, it works exactly like [[Franchise/StarWars a lightsaber]], and even makes similar sounds.
* MasterSwordsman: Hayato is an expert with his plasma sword and can perform strikes, slashes, swipes and combo strings with ease. His mastery is best exemplified in his Plasma Combo special attacks, which are auto-combo techniques where Hayato strikes and downs the enemy using various sword strikes.
* RetractableWeapon: As seen in one of his intro animations and some of his moves, Hayato's plasma sword is an energy blade coming out of a sword pommel.
* ShockAndAwe: Although not a prominent part of his moves, some attacks do leave an electrified effect on enemies.
* {{Shoryuken}}: Hayato's Guren has him perform a rising spinning strike with his sword.
* SuperMode: His Plasma Field Hyper Combo grants him unlimited Hyper Combos for a short time if it hits the enemy.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Successfully hitting with his Lv. 3 Hyper Combo "Ura Rasetsuzan" shows Hayato transform into Black Hayato (an evil alterego implanted into Hayato by his series' BigBad) to perform a [[BlackScreenOfDeath devastating combo attack behind a black screen]].
* SwordBeam: His Engetsu Hyper Combo has him extend his plasma sword and releases a wave of energy at the opponent.
* SwordLines: His plasma sword leaves trails of energy as he swings it.
!!Jill Valentine
One of the main characters in the ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil'' franchise. A veteran and hard-trained member of the special operations group S.T.A.R.S., and one of the few who survived the horrors inside the Spencer Mansion.
----
* ActionGirl: Was already one in her home series, but here she proves she can also defend herself without the need of guns (for the most part).
* AffectionateParody: Her move Charging S.T.A.R.S. is pretty clearly parodying Captain America's Charging Star, not only in name but in the way it works as a dashing strike. And she even has an Hyper Combo variant like the Cap.
* ArbitraryGunPower: Her weapon-based normal moves aren't very impressive and she can rack up a lot more damage by chaining punches and kicks or tackle enemies with a shoulder strike.
* AssistCharacter: In a rather unique manner, Jill can call forth zombies, zombie dogs and crows to attack her opponent. The interesting part is that they ''aren't'' helping her, she needs to move out of their way so they get her opponent instead.
* BadassNormal: Jill has no extraordinary powers or technology to assist her in battle. She gets by with a movelist of punches, kicks, a few weapons and the unwilling assistance of zombified monstrosities.
* {{BFG}}: Jill pulls out a big rocket launcher for one of her Hyper Combos, in a big nod to the end boss of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil1''.
* BlindShoulderToss: One of Jill's intro animation has she standing upright facing her opponent while holding a small item, then tossing said item behind her. The item she throws is a random minor item from the first ''Resident Evil'' game, either a Small Key or an Ink Ribbon.
* CounterAttack: She has one such move, and if activated the opponent gets to eat lead as she unloads a full clip of her handgun on them.
* DashAttack: Her Charging S.T.A.R.S. move has her tackle forward shoulder-first while engulfed in fire.
* EnemySummoner: Jill can summon zombies, Cerberus dogs, crows and even the Tyrant to "help" her, although as explained before Jill is more like moving out of their way so they attack her opponent.
* ExpressiveHealthBar: When the player gets healed by Jill's Assist Type the classic cardiogram screen from ''Resident Evil'' appears, and in classic fashion it goes from the red "Danger" status to the green "Good" one.
* GenkiGirl: While normally her lines are terse and serious, one of her win animation has Jill shoot out a flare and start jumping excitedly while shouting "Come on!".
* GrenadeLauncher: One of her normal moves has her whip out a grenade launcher and shoot a grenade at an overhead arc as a decent AntiAir.
* HealingHerb: One of Jill's unique Assist Types has her hand over a Green Herb to restore a small bit of life.
* IncendiaryExponent: Jill can summon a zombie on fire to send at her opponent. Unlike the normal zombie, this one doesn't grab the opponent but explodes on contact with them.
* TheParalyzer: The effect if a zombie reaches the opponent: they grab them and munch on them for a while, leaving them helpless for Jill to capitalize.
* WholePlotReference: Her Code: T-02 Hyper Combo involves the Tyrant monster coming out of the ground and striking wildly around it, all in reference to the final boss battle of the original ''Resident Evil'' where it burst through the mansion's rooftop. The player can complete the reference by doing an extra motion near the end of the attack to make Jill produce the rocket launcher and blow the Tyrant into smithereens, just like in the original game.
!!Tron Bonne & Servbot
From the ''VideoGame/MegaManLegends'' series. Tron Bonne is a PirateGirl and leader of the Bonne Family, and a recurring (if largely ineffective) antagonist to Mega Man Volnutt. The Servbots are robot minions of her making, that loyally follow and assist her in any scheme or plot she's planning on doing, often with varying degrees of success. Servbot appears both assisting Tron in her moves, and as a separate playable character.
----
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Both characters have access to the King Servbot Hyper Combo, where Servbot grows in size and starts smashing the opponent with a giant mallet.
* DefeatEqualsExplosion:
** Tron's Gustaff explodes as part of her Time Out defeat animation, leaving a crying Tron on the floor surrounded by its parts.
** Servbot explodes when defeated in battle. As a bonus extra, his explosion leaves behind Refractor Shards that, when picked up, restore a bit of life.
* DubNameChange: Servbot is known as Kobun in Japanese.
* FictionalCurrency: Refractor Shards, used as currency in ''Mega Man Legends'', can be stolen from the enemy by Servbots grabbing them from Tron's Beacon Bomb and Servbot's Supporting Attack special moves. If the opponent is not attacked until they stop holding him, the Servbots will run away while holding shards, and if Tron/Servbot touches them they restore some lost life. When the Servbot character is defeated, he explodes and leaves behind several shards as well.
* FireBreathingDiner: Servbot's move Servbot Fire has the little fella eat some spicy curry and then release a flame from his mouth.
* HatOfFlight: Servbot has some moves where he summons other Servbots wearing little helicopter blades on their heads that allows them to fly. Tron's move Servbot Launcher shoots these kind of Servbots as well, which makes them slowly fall back into the ground.
* JokeCharacter: Servbot is incredibly weak, has zero range with his little limbs and goes down very fast in lieu of his diminutive size and defense. He does still have some limited uses, for example being able to avoid most Hyper Combos by standing still thanks to his size.
* KillerYoyo: One of Tron's normals has her spring two sharp-edged yo-yos from the limbs of the Gustaff to attack.
* LittleMissBadass: One of the youngest members of the cast at 14 years old.
* MechaMooks: The Servbots are small robotic minions that serve Tron in many of her attacks.
* MiniMecha: Tron fights by piloting a small humanoid robot called Gustaff.
* MovesetClone: Servbot has mostly the same moves Tron has, including those using other Servbots to attack, but he also has some unique moves that are only similar, such as his Servbot Fire (in place of the Gustaff Fire), or his Summoning Attack (who works like a mix of Tron's Beacon Bomb and Servbot Launcher).
* PersonalSpaceInvader: Tron's Beacon Bomb move sends Servbots to glomp the opponent, keeping it trapped in place. Servbot has a similar move where he launches another Servbot for the same effect.
* NoblewomansLaugh: Tron cracks out a pretty good laugh as part of her intro animations and after performing Assist Attacks.
* RobotBuddy: Servbots are at Tron's service at all times and provide her support in a large variety of ways, from engineering and maintaining machines to assisting in her crime heist, usually with varying degrees of effectivity. In-game they assist her in several of her moves, either trapping the opponent in place or launching themselves as projectiles to hit 'em. Servbot is also supported in the same way by the other Servbots.
* SweatDrop: If Tron misses a grab move, she stays in place with a disappointed face while a thought bubble displays the sweat drop.
* TransformingMecha: Tron's Gustaff can transform its limbs into an assortment of weapons, including metal pikes, cannons, drills, tank threads, an excavator shovel and large spikes.
* ThisIsADrill: The Bonne Strike move has Tron's Gustaff turn one of its limbs into a drill to attack.
* ZergRush: The Lunch Rush Hyper Combo, where a large line of Servbots trample the opponent. The Servbot's version of this attack is unique in that it changes the way it works depending on the Assist Type selected.

[[folder:Original Generation]]
Three original characters that debuted in this game. They all count as Capcom characters.
!!Ruby Heart
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mvc2_ruby_heart_4.jpg]]
An infamous pirate captain that sails the seven seas in search of magical objects to add to her collection. Wanting to include the legendary Armor of Erosion, she assisted a pirate group in ransacking its temple but instead they awakened the beast and got the entire world in danger of being destroyed. She decides to gather heroes from both universes in an attempt to stop Abyss before all life on Earth is gone.
----
* ActionGirl: Ruby is one of two female original characters who can pack a punch. Besides that, she's a hard-boiled pirate captain that's built a worldwide reputation as a sea-faring adventurer.
* AnchorsAway: Ruby Heart can use a small anchor to either capture her opponent or reel them in and blast them with a cannon from point-blank range.
* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: She leads a band of pirates and fights with them.
* BedsheetGhost: A sinister version of these kind of ghosts come out of a haunted treasure chest as part of a special move and Hyper Combo.
* BlindShoulderToss: Ruby Heart does exactly this in the ending: pondering over Abyss' broken core and whether she should keep it for her collection, then realizing the orb is either completely useless now or that it'd be dangerous to keep it and tossing it over her shoulder and into the ocean waters below.
* CanonImmigrant: A character simply called 'Ruby' was included in the Shadaloo Combat Research Database website, an official InUniverse wiki chronicling every single character, canonical or no, associated with ''Franchise/StreetFighter''. While that Ruby has a completely different backstory, she is clearly modelled on Ruby Heart.
** Narrowly {{Averted}} in another sense, as Ruby Heart was originally conceived as a ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' character, but her pirate motif was deemed ill-fitting for the horror-themed fighting game series.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: Ruby Heart likes to keep a collection of ancient magical objects, and the whole plot is kickstarted by her desire to add Abyss to it. In the game's ending, Ruby Heart ponders over keeping Abyss' broken core, but finally relents and drops it in the waters below.
* CoolAirship: The ''Partenaire'', a flying, dimension-crossing pirate ship. It also serves as a stage, with the normal version set on the air as she is flying, and the alternate version set while on the sea.
* ExperiencedProtagonist: She's a swashbuckler who has been fighting bad guys for a while. She even has her own little supporting cast in her motley pirate crew.
* EyepatchOfPower: She has a futuristic-looking eyepatch that covers her right eye.
* FriendlyPirate: According to the game's lore, Heart decided to bring the heroes and villains from both companies to stop Abyss. Unusual for pirates as they're often antagonists, but justified as she is partly responsible for awakening Abyss and feels the need to correct her mistake.
* GenerationXerox: Ruby became a pirate following in the footsteps of her father.
* GratuitousFrench: She ''might'' be speaking like this, although it's hard to tell. A lot of her moves are named in French, however.
* TheHero: Although ''Marvel vs. Capcom 2'' doesn't have much going on in terms of story (even by the series' usual standards), Ruby is seemingly meant to be the closest thing to a company-neutral main protagonist for the game. The roster select screen has the player 1 cursor always start on Ruby. [[AllThereInTheManual Game material also indicates that Ruby Heart was the one who recruited the good/bad guys from the Capcom and Marvel universes to help fight Abyss.]]
* HomeStage: The Ship stage, which is set on board her CoolAirship ''Partenaire''.
* HyperspaceArsenal: On top of being able to summon huge anchors and treasure chests to attack her opponents, she can summon her ship ''Partenaire'' as a super move... [[MindScrew even when she's on the ''Partenaire'' stage.]]
* ItsPersonal: After Ruby Heart makes the mistake of helping some pirates ''release'' Abyss from its slumber, she personally sees to it that she and the recruited heroes fight it and destroy it.
* TheLeader: She's the captain of a crew of rowdy pirates, who assist her in one Hyper Combo and pose alongside her for a win animation. She also serves as the de-facto leader of the Capcom side in their quest to stop Abyss.
* MakingASplash: Ruby Heart can create pillars of water for a ranged attack.
* ManaDrain: The ghosts released from a haunted chest used in one of her special moves (and its Hyper Combo variant) drain the opponents' Hyper Combo Gauge once they strike and cling to them.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: ''Monthly Arcadia'' info from the March 30, 2000 issue suggests that Ruby summoned the Capcom and Marvel characters because she helped an unnamed pirate crew trying to take Abyss while in its Armor of Erosion Form, which awakened and made it cause havoc.
* NotQuiteFlight: Her Schwarzaile special move allows her to move in the air as a ball of pure energy. Her Hyper Combo Flammeile is an upgraded form that allows her to move all over the sky as it can be done several times on quick succession at different angles.
* PirateGirl: Who she is in the first place. According to interviews by Yoshinori Ono and Seth Killian, Ruby was meant to represent the ''Darkstalkers'' series before decisions forced the production team to abort it.
* SkyPirate: The [[CoolAirship Airship stage]] is actually her ship, and it's used in the credits after arcade mode to carry the victors out of the battleground.
* TheAtoner: Ruby sees to it that Abyss is taken down because she didn't realize that the Armor of Erosion was that bad after she helped the pirate crew in the heist and realized that the item was something that was better left alone.
* TheRival: The game presents Cable as her equal on the Marvel side, since he is another tough-as-nails leader figure. By the end of the game, they seem to become quite close. We see Ruby confide in Nathan after she decides to throw Abyss's dead core into the ocean.
* TalkToTheFist: Her basic grab animation has her simply punch the opponent in the face, sending them flying.
----
!![=SonSon=]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sonson_big_mvc2.jpg]]
The granddaughter of [=SonSon=] (the protagonist of a 1984 Arcade game of the same name), she is an energetic and mischievous monkey girl in training. After her village was struck by a strange disease, she takes up her grandfather's staff and leaves on a mission to find a cure.
* ActionGirl: An Action Girl monkey to be precise.
* AffirmativeActionLegacy: Shares her name and heroic legacy with her grandfather.
* AncestralName: [=SonSon=] is named after her grandfather, which is akin to an alternate take on Sun Wukong. UDON gave her full name as [=SonSon=] III in the ''Marvel vs. Capcom Official Complete Works'' artbook, therefore implying one of her parents shares her name as well.
* BadassAdorable: A cute, energetic monkey girl who uses her magical staff to bring the pain.
* BigEater: [=SonSon=] has atleast two different moves where she tries to cook and/or eat their opponents, plus one of her Assist has her share a health-recovering peach to her partner.
* BreathWeapon: When in her Monkey King form, [=SonSon=] can perform two actions: either a MegatonPunch or a laser breath attack.
* DeathFromAbove: Her Tenchi Tsuukan Hyper Combo has her throw her staff upward, which then drops down on the opponent as a massively larger staff.
* DoomedHometown: Her village being struck by a strange disease is what pushes her into action. If the Swamp stage is indeed representing her village, then it's rapidly becoming a proper GhostTown.
* EatenAlive: The fate of whoever gets hit by [=SonSon=]'s POW Hyper Combo: turned into a random fruit and eaten. Fortunately for them, she then spits a seed that turns back into them.
* EnemySummoner: [=SonSon=] has a special move where she creates little monkeys out of hair strands, then sends them forward. This move is referencing one of Sun Wukong's abilities in ''Journey to the West''.
* FightingClown: While less obviously so than Amingo, [=SonSon=] has a very whimsical fighting style. [[LetsGetDangerous At least, until she transforms into a humongous were-monkey and torches you with beams of flaming breath.]]
* ForcedTransformation: The fate of whoever gets hit by [=SonSon=]'s POW Hyper, turned into a giant fruit and then devoured by her.
* GenkiGirl: She's very excitable and constantly smiling, and most of her animations has her doing silly poses or otherwise gushing energetically.
* HomeStage: The alternative unlockable version of the Swamp stage features strong Chinese vibes and includes a tree growing peaches, making it pretty likely her home stage. It is often believed it represents her village, with the standard derelict version being its current state under a pandemic, but this hasn't been officially confirmed.
* HulkingOut: [=SonSon=]'s Hyper Combo En'Ou transforms her into a large and muscular were-monkey for a short time. Rather than rage, however, it is stated in her bio that the transformation is triggered by how excited she gets in battle.
* ItsPersonal: [=SonSon=] went for Abyss after her village was struck by an epidemic caused by Abyss' awakening.
* KillerGorilla: What the Monkey King Hyper Combo turns [=SonSon=] into: a large and angry-looking were-monkey twice her size, that can pummel her opponents or blast them with BreathWeapon.
* LegacyCharacter: [=SonSon=] is the granddaughter of [=SonSon=], the eponymous protagonist of an early Capcom game of the same name, which was based off the ''Journey to the West'' story.
* MischiefMakingMonkey: [=SonSon=]'s mischievousness comes through in some animations where she mocks or taunts the opponent, and some of her special moves where she plays around, prances on the screen or tries to eat/cook her opponent.
* MonkeyKingLite: Like her grandfather from the original ''[=SonSon=]'' game, she's a complete pastiche of Sun Wukong with her entire moveset bursting with references to ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest''.
* {{Mooning}}: [=SonSon=]'s taunt animation is this, where she turns around, bends down and shows her rear while slapping it. While she doesn't drop her pants for this, since her pants are colored the same color as her fur, the effect at a glance is the same.
* PaintingTheMedium: One of her gravity-defying special moves has her run along all four sides of the screen to get to the other side of the stage.
* RuleOfFunny: Her fighting style in general. Her level 3 super move has her transform her opponent into a giant watermelon which she then devours in three bites and spits the seeds out of.
* ShoutOut: Several to the original ''[=SonSon=]'' Arcade game:
** One of [=SonSon=]'s colors is an all-blue palette, a reference to the MirrorBoss character from ''[=SonSon=] II''.
** Her POW Hyper Combo references the item from the game and its effect, as it turns all enemies into fruit when picked up.
* SpectacularSpinning: [=SonSon=] has some normal moves where she spins her staff around to attack, as well as a special move where she rises up while spinning it. [[SpinToDeflectStuff Her blocking animation also involves her staff spinning in front of her]].
* TelescopingStaff: As any good Sun Wukong {{Expy}} should, she wields a size-changing red staff that's much more flexible than it looks. One of her super moves has her grow it to gigantic proportions and rain it down on the opponent. As stated in her bio, the staff is ''actually'' the Ruyi Jingu Bang she inherited from her grandfather.
----
!!Amingo
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mvc2_amingo_2.jpg]]
A member of a race of sentient plant life known as the "Man-Plants", Amingo is a cheerful and gentle big cactus man. Following Abyss' awakening, cursed winds started sweeping the lands and killing all of its plant life, so Amingo leaves on a quest to find and stop the source of this happening.
----
* CactusPerson: He's a giant sapient cactus man and a walking {{National Stereotype|s}} of Mexico.
* DynamicAkimbo: This is Amingo's blocking animation. That is, he does the pose and blocks attacks with it. He also assumes an increased musculature and his chest sprouts spikes. The thing is pretty much played for RuleOfFunny.
* FightingClown: Hardly seems like much of a fighter considering his silly design and animations, but he can still throw down with the Marvel heroes and villains.
* FlunkyBoss: He can summon little cactus friends who die in one hit to attack or distract opponents.
* GratuitousMariachiBand: Amingo is basically a walking [[NationalStereotypes National Stereotype]] of Mexico, so of course he whips out a ''guitarron'' and starts jamming in his win pose.
* GentleGiant: Amingo is an easy-going and cheery rather large/rotund cactus man.
* HomeStage: The desert stage is considered his home stage, as it has a sombrero, sash and poncho hanged on the background.
* NatureHero: He joins the heroes because he wants to protect the plant life that Abyss has been destroying.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: While the Capcom side of the roster has its share of more cutesy, cartoony characters from other series, Amingo takes it to the next level by being a rubbery, rotund cactus-man in a cast mostly composed of humanoid characters. Only Shuma-Gorath, a cephalopoid EldritchAbomination from the Marvel multiverse, can match him in peculiarity.
* PokemonSpeak: Amingo's lines are mostly made-up of grunts, growls and his own name.
* ShapeshifterWeapon: Like your average ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' character, he can morph his arms (and his entire body) into all sorts of different forms (in his case a number of different plant types) which he uses to attack.
* SpikeBallsOfDoom: Some of Amingo's attacks sees him turning into a ball with spikes surrounding his waistline or surface.

[[folder:Boss]]
!!Abyss
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/abyss.gif]]
A legendary creature created in ancient times, in an age where magic prospered, Abyss is a forbidden weapon that was so dangerous it was sealed off inside a temple within a volcano. A pirate group assisted by Ruby Heart broke into its resting place planning to steal it, but they only managed to awake it from its slumber. Abyss' final goal is to destroy all life and bring it back to primordial times, with its mere presence being enough to generate hideous waves of corruption that kill all life on both sea and land.
----
* AnimatedArmor: Abyss's first form, which towers over (most of) the games' cast.
* AnnoyingLaugh: Abyss' [[BeamSpam beam-spamming]] second form. "HAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHA!"
* AttackItsWeakPoint: The black sphere that serves as Abyss' core. It can only be attacked in the third form, though.
* BeamSpam: Abyss's second form uses beams as one of two basic attacks he spams on the fight. Players need to time their blocks in order to minimize the damage.
* BigBad: For ''Marvel vs. Capcom 2'', being responsible for killing almost all life on Earth.
* BlobMonster: Abyss' true self is the large black orb that becomes visible on its third form, but it can control a slimy green (and later red) substance that's all over its sealed temple. Abyss uses this liquid to form the bodies of its 2nd and 3rd form, control the Armor of Erosion from within by filling it with the liquid, and separate parts of it to mold them into various different attacks.
* BodyHorror: It might be kind of hard to spot, but in its third form, Abyss' face will occasionally melt and be replaced by another identical face from within its body. He also springs out three demonic heads in one of his win poses.
* BubbleGun: Abyss' second form has an Hyper Combo where it releases several bubbles into the field, [[FloatingInABubble capturing the player and leaving them open for attacks unless they mash up in order to break free in time]].
* DeathFromAbove: Abyss's first form has a shower of energy spears as a Hyper Combo.
* DefeatEqualsExplosion: After you beat its third form, its core explodes.
* GetBackHereBoss: The third phase of the fight becomes this, as Abyss moves all around while attacking (even from offscreen!), and the player has to keep track and attack the black orb making up its core.
* HarmlessLiquefaction: One of the most annoying abilities of Abyss in its Guardian and final forms is the capacity to liquify itself and disappear into the ground, allowing it both to avoid attacks and teleport around the arena, reforming its body somewhere else (often behind the player character) to perform an attack.
* HornsOfBarbarism: The Armor of Erosion sports two large green horns (made out of the slime Abyss controls) jutting out of its helmet, and they are a pretty decent cue to know just how much violent and unstoppable this monster is.
* IdenticalStranger: Most likely a coincidence, but its third and final form bears a slight resemblance to ComicBook/{{Venom}}, who also happens to be on the roster, except gigantic and red-skinned (making him ironically similar to another famous symbiote villain, ComicBook/{{Carnage}}). Abyss even has some special moves resembling Venom's Venom Rush and Venom Fang.
* ImAHumanitarian: In one of its win animations in its 3rd form, Abyss strikes the downed opponent to send it flying and then leaps and devours them. Its stated final goal is to do this to ''all the life on Earth'' as a way of returning them to the Sea of Genesis.
* ImplacableMan: The Armor of Erosion is a giant suit of black armor with inmense power, that's slowly walking up to the player to utterly crush them...and the strongest attack possible can at most ''delay'' it slightly before it strikes. Not for nothing jumping all over is a viable (and recommended) strategy.
* LeanAndMean: The Guardian form takes the appearance of a skinny green man with a powerful ArmCannon and no legs (they are liquid and merge into the ground, which is covered in the same liquid). Coupled with its EvilLaugh and trollish gameplay, and you get one evil (and seriously annoying) bastard.
* LostTechnology: Abyss was created by an ancient civilization to be the ultimate weapon many years ago. Its existence became the stuff of legend in Ruby Heart's universe.
* MultipleHeadCase: Abyss's third form occasionally sprouts three heads, mainly as a taunt.
* MightyGlacier: Abyss' first/Armor form, possessing great strength, large screen-covering moves and being completely inmune to stunning while attacking...but obviously, the Armor is slow as molasses and its attacks come out really slow and with plenty of telegraphing.
* MyRulesAreNotYourRules: Abyss' third form can move offscreen and even perform moves and attack from outside the player's view, something no playable character can do.
* NoSell: Abyss (in all three forms) is completely inmune to flinching and can't be hit out of any of its animations.
* OriginalGeneration: Abyss is the first and only boss in the series so far to be a 100% original character, all previous bosses were either already-existing characters from either company, or an hybrid character made up of a character/concept from each company.
* {{Phlegmings}}: Abyss' third form dosplays a copious amount of green slime drooling out of its massive and sharp-toothed jaw.
* PlayingWithFire: Final Form Abyss can attack by using large pillars of fire it releases from the ground or straight ahead from its back. It also has a large flame attack similar to Dhalsim's Yoga Blast.
* PowerLimiter: The Armor of Erosion was created in order to help Abyss control its powers when in combat.
** EvolutionPowerup: After the armour is destroyed, Abyss changes into a slender green humanoid form. This form is known as the Guardian, which is meant to help Abyss build up power.
** SuperMode: Abyss' red form is its final form after Guardian is defeated.
* RedIsViolent: For its third and final form, the green liquid Abyss manipulates to create its bodies (and which also permeates the entire stage), as well as the entire sky, turn blood red. Then there's Abyss final form created with said liquid: compared to the first (who is violent but subdued due to its slow pace) and the second (who is annoying and trollish), final Abyss form is large demonic creature that, among other attacks, can violently slam the ground with its limbs, jump at the player with a giant toothy mouth or create outbursts of fire either as pillars or prjectiles.
* SealedEvilInACan: Abyss was sealed up within a temple located inside an active volcano in the middle of a vast body of water. The actions of a pirate group (assisted by Ruby Heart) broke the seal and awakened the monster within.
* SequentialBoss: As the natural result of being the FinalBoss in a 3-on-3 tag team fighting game, Abyss has no team but 3 separate forms it takes to face the player's team in battle, with each forms representing Abyss slowly regaining its true power.
* SpamAttack: Abyss' second/Guardian form has this as its almost exclusive strategy: it has only two normal moves: a laser beam or a flame strike, both coming out of its ArmCannon. So the whole battle boils down to having to dodge/block and quickly approach Abyss while it spams both attacks constantly while laughing, only breaking this pattern to throw in one of its two Hyper Combos (one of which captures you, leaving you open for more spam).
* ThroneRoomThrowdown: The first battle against Abyss is set in front of an ivory throne in the center of his temple.
* UseYourHead: Armor of Erosion Abyss has a dashing headbutt Hyper Combo similar to Juggernaut's Headcrush.
* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: Abyss' final goal is to devour all life on Earth to return it to primordial times.
* WalkingWasteland: Abyss is an embodiment of entropy, spreading death and pestilence wherever it treads. [[AllThereInTheManual The unnamed pirates that awakened it unwittingly activated its main objective:]] [[OhCrap To return everything to the Sea of Genesis.]]
