He uses lots of combos and such whereas i switch throw a few basic attacks then switch again. when we play its fairly even, but he keeps saying im not playing fair. So the point off this thread is so what do you consider fair play.

Everything you can do in a game is fair, it's not like there are any cheats enabled or any hacking. Like kharnivore said, everything is fair. If something wasn't fair, it wouldn't be in the game. Sure there might be some characters that are a little better than others, or easier to use, but those characters are available to everyone, so nothing isn't fair. People need to learn a lot of fighting games aren't really pick up and play if your playing against someone that's at least half way decent. It takes some time to learn combos and how to react to things, and what to do in certain situations. Not knowing how to deal with your opponent doesn't mean it isn't fair, it means he's found a way to beat you and you can't figure out what to do about it yet.

I have never played Marvel vs. Capcom 2, but for example in Street Fighter, spamming Hadoukens is considered unfair. Shure an expert player knows how to deal with them, but the average player doesn't.

Just means that the other player isnt really that skilled, but he's found a move and is hoping that chance will work his way. Even if you cant time the jumps too well, you can close in and just block when it connects. They dont take off that much energy when blocking.

Shure an expert player knows how to deal with them, but the average player doesn't. Street Fighter isn't made for average players and a hadouken is very easy to read and leaves you open for punishment, and a lot of things were added in street fighter 4 such as EX attacks that go through any projectiles.

IMO, aslong as your not cheating everything is fine. Althought i understand that its annoying when the other person is way better in the game.

Those moves/options would not be in the game if they were not fair and available to everyone. You two just have very different fighting styles, and apparently his is not working for him. Sounds like your friend is just upset with losing and using the excuse that you are cheating.
