I've only tried ranked so far, obviously theres no kinda lobbies there.
Gameplay seems ok, character select screen is ridiculously laggy for some reason. But imo online is a nice bonus but not really the core of a fighting game, you have to adapt certain strategies for online because even a small amount of lack changes the game significantly. SFIV for example Kens jab shoryuken is much more powerful than it is offline because it's recovery time is so small it becomes masked by lag, essentially meaning he can spam it all day and theres very little you can do to counter it besides knocking him to the floor. If you wait to land the combo and punish him properly, the lag makes you miss the small window of opportunity you have, and you eat another shoryuken.
I'd imagine it's much the same here, but i'm not knowledgable enough in MvC2 to know how it would effect gameplay (not specifically anyway, the above example would apply to any fighter, basicly anything you have a small window of opportunity to perform, kiss that tactic goodbye)
All I do know however is i'm getting my ass handed to me over and over again. The small amount of wins i've managed to accumulate have only been because Dr. Doom is so fucking horrendously overpowered lol. Normally I don't play characters like him very well, but it seems you can gain a lot of ground with him for almost nothing. I mean, I understand how important the concept of controlling space is to fighters, but this guy takes the cake. He literally controls the whole screen, doesn't do much damage but he's constantly chipping away, and knocks people out of their super attacks with his projectiles.
