What is a scrub you may ask? Well a scrub is defined as "..a player who does nothing but the same cheap attacks over and over, never bothering to learn new moves. A scrub usually chooses cheap characters with cheap tactics, doing anything to win the game."
Scrub #1 - Guile
"....jab? What's a jab?"

This guy is probably the scrubbiest guy in the whole team. Basically, his only moves are roundhouse, roundhouse, roundhouse (the strongest sweeping attack). If any of those kicks connects, it is buffered into his QCF+KK Hyper Combo. So his basic strategy is jumping roundhouse, sweeping roundhouse, and maybe a Sonic Boom once in a while (Charge back then forward+P). The only reason that he can use roundhouse is because it comes out so fast and has the most freaking priority.

For those of you that dont know, Guile was from the original Street Fighter 2 on Super Nintendo (the first fighting game I ever played). The story goes that he is an airforce pilot who has captured by the evil Shadowloo Master M. Bison. Only he escaped, while his friend Charlie died (or so he thouhgt).

Ok, not only is his history so damn cliched, this guy looks like a total loser. I mean, what the hell is with that flag tattoo on his shoulder? Oh, yeah, he's REAL patriotic. Can you say lame? And what is with that messed haircut? Is he supposed to be some kind of punk rocker? Bottom line, Guile sucks, only scrubs play with him.

Scrub #2 - Iceman
"....what do you mean, 'actually fight'?"

This loser says only ONE thing during a game.....Icebeam! And not suprisongly, the Icebeam (QCF+P) is his ONLY move, and when I mean only, I mean cheapest. First of all ,the Icebeam comes out quickly, and does a TON of damage. If the Icebeam is blocked, it does so much chipping damage that you just want to get a sludgehammer and bludgeon your scrubby opponent. The chipping damage is equal to a regular punch so basically, its a punch that is unblockable. And because it is a beam, it will nullify any single-hit projectiles.

But the lameness isn't over yet. For some reason, Capcom made it that so Iceman TAKES NO CHIPPING DAMAGE. That's right. NO FREAKING CHIPPING DAMAGE. So not only is his offense overpowered, they just gave scrubs a reason to turtle the entire time. On top of that, he is given a fair speed.

So basic strategy with this loser is Icebeam, Icebeam, Icebeam, and HOLY ***** EVEN MORE REDUNDANCIES. If you try to jump attack Iceman, all he has to do is a ducking Roundhouse to anti-air. All this scrub can do is chip people to death.

Iceman's history is lame as well. He is one of the original X-Men named Bobby Drake. His power is that he can materialize ice anytime, anywhere around him. As you can see, when he is powered up, he is covered in ice. Well where does he get all the freaking ice? I learned this while sifting through some old X-Men issues. MOISTURE. That's right. He gets it from the air, trees, rivers, ect. Now c'mon. THATS A LOT OF FREAKING MOISTURE. If you will ever see in the comics, he is able to make huge ice slides, weapons, shields and whatnot. That is gonna freeze-dry anything around him. Just having him around is a health-hazard.

So in conclusion, Iceman is the lamest under-dressed beamer in MvC2 and is ultimately a good-for-nothing scrub. I would love to stick him in an incinerator and watch him melt.

Scrub #3 - Hulk
"Hulk smash! Hulk know nothing else!"

And now we get to the final memeber of the Ultimate Scrub Team. Let me just say that he wouln't BE in the game if it wasn't for his lame Gamma Crush (QCB+PP). Basically, Hulk is the strong-man of the team, and is also a lame scrub. You won't see much of Hulk during a game, he'll be staying in the back, just waiting to use a Variable Hyper Combo (Assist1+Assist2). If Hulk DOES come out to fight, he'll be turtling in a corner, calling in Iceman Assist.

Hulk is from the world of Marvel Comics. his original name was Bruce Banner, a brilliant scientist. He was developing a new type of bomb in the Nevada Desert along with fellow scientists. This bomb was called the Gamma Bomb which would throw out Gamma Rays upon explosion. On the day of the test detonation, Bruce Banner set the timer for the explosion. But just before the bomb detonated, Bruce saw that a young teenager had slipped into the bomb area. Bruce ran out from his protective bunker to save the boy, but was blasted with the gamma rays when the bomb exploded. Since then, he was tranformed into the Incredible Hulk, who has super-armor, super-strong, ect. I belive Fox television gave him his own Saturday-morning TV series which really sucked. Anyway, Hulk was a sort of bad-guy and was hunted down by the government, but no one could catch him blah blah blah. He eventually joined the Avengers, a group of superheroes which included Captain America, Ironman, Thor, And Antman.

In-Game Team Strategy:

Basically, this team uses Guile first, and constantly calls in Iceman assist, Guile does his lame roundhouses. If Guile gets beaten up, switch to Hulk. But Iceman never comes in until the last second, because he is better at staying in the back and lamely shooting Icebeams all day. If you get close, switch out, or whiff a Hyper Combo, its The varialbe Hyper Combo for you, with can easiy take down a whole lifebar.

So that is the Ultimate Scrub Team, the scubbiest, lamest team ever created in the Marvel vs. Capcom 2 universe. Beware of this in the arcades.
