Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom on Vita Lets You Tap to Attack

Capcom's PS Vita port of Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 will have some pretty cool features. You can watch online matches over WiFi, trade "gold" versions of characters with nearby players and even use the system's touch controls to dole out combos. Capcom recently detailed the later, giving a run down on how your taps and swipes translate into kicks and combos.

Basic attacks are activated by simply tapping the screen, while dragging your finger will move your character in the corresponding direction. A quick swipe left or right makes a dash, and dragging your finger up or down activates jumps and ducks, respectively. You can also tap a character's icon to call in support attacks, or hold it to switch to them. Tapping the Hyper Combo gauge or X Factor icon will also activate them.

Using tap attacks automatically chains together combos, much like how Tatsunoko vs Capcom's Wii Remote and Nunchuk control option seamlessly combines simple attacks. If the sound of such hand-holding makes you and your Hori stick upset, don't worry, the control scheme is optional.
