2 Hours of Obscure Fighting Game Characters

[@jmcrofts]

Hey guys i'm trying something new with this compilation-style video! If you like it, let me know! And be sure to like the video if you wanna see more!

[@Kwisatz-Chaderach]

Yo...get IheartJustice back on. that guys is rad XD

[@IvoJim]

Your channel is perfect for long form content, can't wait to watch this and I'd love to see more!

[@flamemdq]

Neco Arc Thumbnail goes brrrr (lol, is good to make one of this videos time to time :) )

[@dmgeno]

Any JM content is good content

[@CrazyDrgonRider]

Love it

[@aidanfriedfeld8889]

“To be top tier you have to wear a trench coat” this is literally how I introduce people to MVC3. Just pick a character with a trench coat and you’ll do great.

[@fusrodahevery45secs]

instructions unclear, mained nemesis

[@thathandleistakentrythisone]

Oiled trenchcoats are OP

[@lolface_9363]

Consider this I wanna be funny lawyer man

[@MJSHappy]

What about Nemesis?

[@chiademon]

neco arc is so popular she wraps back into being obscure because nobody knows shes from a fighting game

[@CptJistuce]

She isn't. Tsukihime was a visual novel.

[@IDisagree100]

​@@CptJistuce own that fraud

[@jellojiggler1693]

Started watching this at 4 AM. I fell asleep 45 minutes in at roll. Great job! Make more so I can get a good nights sleep again.

[@Moonmoon-tl8js]

I love this idea of a compilation of all your character overviews, keep up the heat bro!

[@kevinjordan_number1_fan]

2 hours of top tier characters (and here's why) from your past vids would be sick

[@cdntl]

love this idea

[@TheDuckofLaw]

The compilations are more than fine - they're great for background watching.

[@zmattchiasson]

Have watched these already, so I won't watch again, but I'll use this opportunity to mention that I appreciate the variety/creativity of topics you focus on. Also appreciative of your editing/delivery, very smooth, non judgemental, informative and just a pleasant experience. And I haven't played fighting games since CvS2 many years ago.. Keep up the good work.

[@NeoGato2point0]

I love your choice of topics for videos keep making that good stuff

[@Sewer-coon]

*obscure characters* *puts neco arc in the thumbnail*

[@yuichikita6018]

To be fair, there's probably a lot of people who doesn't know where Neco Arc comes from.

[@budinhapalmieri]

​@yuichikita6018 but she is still one of the most known characters from fighting that broke out of the bubble through memes.

[@illford]

​​@@budinhapalmieriyeah but that's meme relevance, most of the people who have seen the memes will probably not really get what she's about and just assume Someone made a funny cat girl

[@preposteroussvideos]

@@illford people know that damn cat,come on 🤣

[@CrimsonMoonM]

To be fair, this is more about unconventional gameplay styles and mechanics, not necessarily the obscurity of the characters themselves.

[@MarakamiSG]

Compilation style videos are good because I can listen to your voice explaining characters while I sleep. I tend to have something playing while sleeping.

[@stevenrovira9559]

THE COMPILATION! Love it jm, keep em coming

[@nailwind]

Loved seeing some Enchantress as someone that has recently been putting time into her

[@joshez_]

"it's just like when i watch the white sox play" jm, that's clearly not true, there are runners on base.

[@jmcrofts]

it hurts

[@paulmilkshakes3890]

2 hrs of jm let's gooooo

[@DPresidential]

Great video! I love fresh content like this.

[@T1J]

bookmarking this one to fall asleep to lol

[@nrossetti2046]

The baroque system in TvC is one of the most insane fighting game mechanics ever. It also looks totally awesome

[@nik700]

This is great. Your niche analisys brought me back into fgc content so I'm more than happy to see it in a long video form. It would be nice to do one with all of your mvc2 stuff!

[@PotofGlue]

Junpei still doesnt get outs for teching a throw

[@Theta4]

I think this is a great format. I like seeing new content but this is a cool idea to make collab videos. I like having videos like this on in the background while I'm doing other stuff.

[@ducklenin8161]

I've already seen most of these, but I'm watching again anyways cause they're all awesome

[@archaea2251]

holy shit jmcroft long-format video christmas came early

[@MomodouJah]

Absolutely love long videos like this

[@TheKindOni]

Babe lay down, new sleep aid just dropped.

[@guestguest9051]

baseball's the national sport of japan. I think that's why they dare put a mechanic based on baseball in a game.

[@loganmcgee18]

In case anyone else is reading this, what they said is not true. They are very good at baseball and have some of the best players, maybe everto have played, and while it is currently the most popular sport there, the national sport of Japan is Sumo Wrestling.

[@gaspump]

@@loganmcgee18 🤓

[@mochatm9202]

first Jm video that has BALLS and BATS involved

[@jakegripss]

Please keep doing these, I will watch 💚

[@Meepup]

Ngl maybe it’s cause I love baseball and fighting games, but the idea of using the rules of baseball for a characters move set is fucking awesome.

[@aymillyy]

He might not count but Kollector from MK11 was kind of unique not really mechanic wise but the aesthetic with him being in the Krypt and Invasions..idk

[@fgcbird]

Bro I needed 2 hr of Croft in my life

[@NightmareSnake]

There are definitely some other characters you can make an entire additional compilation out of One of my chief recommendations is Tomoka (the basketball girl) from Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax. Hell, you could even talk to ME about that. I exclusively main that character.

[@scottnotpilgrim]

Love long form videos, and as a baseball fan it starts perfectly

[@6n-thorus945]

About neco-arc : she actualy has 2 more strange siblings :neco arc chaos, who is neco arc blendet with nero and mech hisui & neco arc, where you playng as mech hisui and neco arc is allways on screen and you can command her to do something or punch her

[@npc5983]

32:31 "u can see the powered-up Juggernaut Punch just does absurd damage for no reason in particular". No reason, just because you are using it powered-up in a entirely bugged way😂

[@ZaphodBeeblebrox-sy8ey]

Pretty sure that Satinsect is short for Satellite Insect, because that boy be hitting you from orbit.

[@Bog2901]

in terms of weird, overly complicated characters, check out yoshi in smash bros melee, he's legitimately one of the hardest characters in the game and has all this weird unique stuff

[@shadou1234567]

a compilation of my fav series

[@NinF37]

Going through the video… ever time it shows I game I played, he talks about the character I played may this point, I’ve just accepted that I need an extra mechanic on my character

[@3_14pie]

34:00 striker looks like we have Jam at home

[@z0d603]

Yes. Bring Necro back. For a 3rd strike season in SF6, you couls also have Remy linked to Manon and Sean to ken. Other weird picks from other games would be Ingrid and Maki.

[@illford]

Yknow i do qush team games played aroundore with slots. The ArcSys Dragon Ball/One Piece games had a really cool thing wgere character consumed slots and full characters where two and assirs were 1 or something. Obviously youll have standards but it enables some creativity with composition

[@Lancelot2000Lps]

Please cover a character from rival school and what char. in that game is your favorite because it is the first fighting game that i played serious?

[@theodoreroberts8242]

No Nine or Asuka?

[@CatchCraftInc]

Never thought there’d be a lost planet mech in a fighting game

[@MrSkinnieJeans69]

They help me sleep. More please!

[@shadowchao21]

there is an online fix for SFXT and it makes the DLC characters work too.

[@bimapriyoanugerah363]

If someone plays Phoenix Wright in FGC, you know they are cultured person

[@Jamal-wk6fy]

Love this type of vid

[@rfs8194]

So you can't actually play Shadow in Darkstalkers? Does he have a unique arcade ending?

[@SchizoCannibal]

I really want to make a fighting game exclusively filled with overly complicated gimick characters and mechanics. Blaze WHO? WHAT Girls? I only know REAL fighting games like BRAWLHALLA and FORTNITE

[@arindip7396]

That’s called blazblue

[@UntitledSix]

Skullgirls

[@illford]

Tbf if they're all over implicated the game is just over implicated and everyone in it is playing the game

[@GlitchanBlack]

You know, JM, I'd actually want to see you interview superboomfan or Freean if you do a Smash 64 video at some point.

[@WookWook89]

That Ptx robot is tourney legal? I would assume any character with permanent super armor and unblockables would be banned lmao

[@l0rdcheet060]

I love videos like these

[@bighammer3464]

Such a loud button smasher

[@LilYungGrabBagJr]

The baseball dude has always tempted me to buy persona

[@iiswack]

would love to see a video on skarlet from mk11 i love playing her but shes so low tier

[@aymillyy]

Drahmin from DA and Armageddon?

[@yourdagan]

You're supposed to use the invisibility with Twleve. It's extremely obvious the developers balanced Twelve's damage output around the ability to attack unseen. His grab is for facilitating the ability to become invisible unpunished.

[@dirgenmeister4018]

invisibility doesnt last that long and youre giving up oki for the ability to push a very brief mixup. the problem with 12 having such low damage is that they have to win 10 times where a better character needs to only win 4 times to end the game. 12 having invisibility doesnt fix that problem

[@yourdagan]

@@dirgenmeister4018 It lasts long enough to get several hits in. What Oki? People premise Twelve's bottom tiering on his ability to do little to nothing, especially at close range. He's clearly also designed to function well outside of close-range. You are in fact giving up the Invisibility mechanic he was built around for nigh worthless oki. It's not a "very brief mixup", it's your opponent being incapable of seeing what you're doing or where exactly you are for like 6 seconds. And you're trying to tell me that on any other character, this ability would be insignificant. But do just repeat the talking point of the clip, which completely omits that his taunt could even be a factor. I invite you to look up the player '12 Mania' on KZbin for a demonstration of exactly how gamechanging his taunt can be / is for him.

[@threatz1802]

I love watching this game be played but when I tried playing it was so different to what I’m used to I couldn’t get into it ??granted I didn’t spend days trying but just couldn’t get into it but really wanted to ??

[@ZzigZaG00NIN]

Ace detective I had no idea what his bar did lol

[@ChemiiOneLegacy]

This character reminds me of Metal Bat from One Punch Man, very cool.

[@bug-deal]

There are some missing timestamps after Gen and Neco Arc, but looks good otherwise

[@SonicFrontiersisaGoodGame]

I thought this was gonna be a kusoge video

[@terrgle]

Everyone is a born John Talbain main.

[@ZzigZaG00NIN]

8ing might make a good One Piece game with how they did giant characters TVC should def be re-released there's so many people who don't even know about it

[@mohastgridlock]

The cast of Merfight is pretty obscure

[@brodyarmbar5332]

Automattock makes some great beats, too.

[@preposteroussvideos]

Jesus Christ lemme grab some popcorn

[@pur3d3m0n67]

I wish they would make TvC again for a steam release

@2:12 Chicago bois bout to go wild in the comments section.

i didnt know modok was weird hes only guy i could beat people with

[@Leciorne]

Bro is going for Sajam's favorite fgc creator for 2024

[@carlosaugusto9821]

Good job making a compilation. But i must say i dont agree with this idea of obscure... because to me a good part (maybe most) of these chars arent obscure, especially from new age (2010s) fgs. Meanwhile there are chars from old fgs, some that were even famous in the past, but just because they died long ago they must enter the zone of obscurity. Like anyone from Last Blade besides Hibiki, early Fatal Fury chars who were forgotten and never got in KoF, etc...

[@JustWordsAndOpinions]

No Manbou and Hanni from Big Bang Beat? That’s unfortunate.

[@vampirecountingmoneyup2248]

dope vid

[@thatinsanehenry_3447]

Ah yes the nost obscure character. Necoarc.

[@I_Love_Tekken3]

If anything, Lythero will make Phoenix Wright more popular with how good he is at the worst character in UMvC3

[@orbitalcannon3534]

lariat WHO??

[@r1konTheAutomator]

1:59 ...are belong to us

[@kaynesantor8136]

I like compilations just fine. I'd much rather see a long format deep dive on a particular subject. I know it's hard to do, but I've already seen all this old stuff a bunch of times. Ya know? It's still fun.

Calling Neco Arc obscure is wild

[@juice6521]

She was obscure up until she exploded in popularity like 2 years ago due to memes.

[@KaitouKaiju]

Joke character from an obscure game in a niche genre. Definitely still obscure

[@juice6521]

@KaitouKaiju From a niche fighting game from a niche visual novel.

[@carlosaugusto9821]

Most of these characters arent obscure, especially from new age (2010s) games. Meanwhile there are characters from old games, some that were even famous in the past, but just because they died long ago they must automatically enter the zone of obscurity. Like anyone from Last Blade besides Hibiki, who stands outs only because of her appearance in CvS2 and the new Samsho.

this list sucks
