A PSA about Marvel vs. Capcom: Fighting Collection

[@knarrow0222]

Yeah I'm getting the Switch and PS4 version physically just in case this collection gets delisted down the line.

[@JIreland1992]

Why both?

[@nicksrandomreviews]

​@@JIreland1992 So he can play it anywhere to lab combos. I legit buy most fighting games twice, one on console or PC, and again on Switch. People sleep on how big portability is, especially for fighting games. I actually got really damn good at MK9 and Injustice 1 because of the Vita ports.

[@JIreland1992]

@@nicksrandomreviews I guess that makes sense. Given there’s no cross play. I’m just getting the Switch version since I just like playing the arcade mode.

[@chrismckenzie2736]

Same here

[@Jrock3891]

same!

[@Tardus89]

I’m going to get a physical copy. And when I have it in my hands? I’m just going to sit there and stare in disbelief that these legends are in my hands. It will be awhile before I even accept this is real.

[@gars129]

Its insane how Capcom kept using the 1995 SF Alpha 1 sprites for years, and they still held up in 2000.

[@willdiesel8431]

That was their peak for sprites. Alpha and Third Strike.

[@iankof90]

If it ain't broke...

[@TheSuperSmashBros01]

I’m getting the game on both PS4 and Switch physical cause I want to support this collection as much as possible and to ensure new collections aren’t far behind. It’s just a matter of time before a CVS collection gets announced

[@smackerooonii7001]

Fantastic video but the mistake at 0:54 might just be the funniest thing i've ever heard

[@pkkiller_apathy4568]

I sorry I am simply hyped just seeing Cyclops seeing Ryu in a pic saying "my nigga we back" . This pic simply just hits different.

[@AlphaProto]

Good point. Me and my brother were able to collect all of those over the years. The only game we never got our hands on was the Punisher. I'm happy I don't have to hook up entire game systems just to play certain games now.

[@ericlimasshenanigansof1977]

I pre-ordered the physical copy for the Switch. I can't wait to get this!

[@gars129]

I always remember in the late 2000s the remaining arcade consoles of Marvel vs Capcom 2 had not been taken care of, and just had very dull screens and looking old in general. It made the games look much older than they were. Street Fighter 2 and MvC 2 were the most common Capcom cabinets in Puerto Rico in the 2000s. King of Fighters and Fatal Fury were common too.

[@explodedglue5509]

I also found Metal slug cabinets almost everywhere I went

[@MichaelTaylor-qp2xf]

While playing MVC 1 and 2 will certainly be a good time, I've had those perfect Dreamcast ports to play. I'm excited to have arcade-perfect X-Men vs Street Fighter in my home for the first time, only took almost 30 years!

[@nestorgonzalez8021]

Now I don’t need to cuff up around $300 for COTA and Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter…

[@banonKING]

I still have my Sega Saturn copies of X-Men: Children of the Atom and Marvel Super Heroes that I've had since they came out.

[@cashordeals3672]

Definitely buying a physical copy for switch and buying digitally for my ps5 so hyped for this game

[@michielkroder4031]

Hitting us with the classic Bill O'Reilly there.

[@xBigShotRob]

Purchase digital on Steam and physical on PS4/5 and Switch!

[@tevinmoss12]

Definitely buying this bad boy for the swtich and ps4/5 edition

[@TRIPLECORONAS]

Great video brother but as a poor kid man i had tons of fun on all the ps1 games you were shitting on of every game in this series as at the time that’s all my parents could get for me. Can’t wait for the switch/ps4 copies to drop!

[@backlogchallenger4948]

No shame in playing those versions back then; Compromised Marvel is better than no Marvel. I'm just glad more people will get a chance to play the full experience on modern hardware

This is great content. Keep it up King. ☝️ I love the thought of having the VS. Series back...

[@backlogchallenger4948]

I'll do my best. Much appreciated

[@quintorro]

I remember in 2006-ish, MvC2 PS2 was going for like $150 on eBay. Which is why I rented it from Hollywood Video ($5-$6) and paid them the "lost" fee ($30) 😈

[@backlogchallenger4948]

Damn, Hollywood Video. That's a name I haven't heard in a long while, lol

[@Venom3254]

Gonna get the digital version for switch/Steam and preoreded that physical version, too

[@superpowerman4354]

Great video Man. Really wanted to know the differences between the ports.

[@kitestar]

i consider the ps1 versions of XmenvSF,MSHvSF and MVC1 to be "unique" rather than absolute dogshit. hell you could say that at most the MVC1 ps1 port had some system mechanics that went on to influence later capcom games (i cant recall which ones)

[@backlogchallenger4948]

That's a fair point. But at the same time those mechanics only got put in place to make up for the lack of a proper tag function. But at the end of the day, a gimped marvel is better than no marvel at all.

[@HoroJoga]

I still can't fathom that you can put Iron Man against Iron Man in a fighting game.

[@danpantzig7266]

Sad fact: I had MVC2 on PS2, didn't know what it was worth, and sold it for like 60 bucks in 2006 or so.

[@stephenaremu78]

It is coming to Xbox next year

[@Darknight0681]

I had the PC version. Aside from some gameplay issues because of the way Probe ported the game, presentation wise it was the ONLY arcade accurate looking version of the game. But ONLY if you installed the 16MB RAM version. The 8MB RAM version had cut down color and about a 30% reduction in animation frames. But still nothing as bad as what the PS1 got.

[@ghostlithium]

“Nobody could fathom Iron Man duking it out alongside Iron Man”…? @00:58

[@b.o.4492]

Love the ending.

[@willdiesel8431]

Is the Punisher game not gonna be the arcade version?

[@AaronSokalski]

I remember the very first time I played MVC2 on the Dreamcast back in the day and all of my friends and I HATED the music choices. But we played the game SO much that it was burned into our minds.

[@owlyus]

Now all we need is AvC the arcade game

[@dr.wolfstar1765]

0:55 YoOOOo Ironman teams up to fight ironman!?!?! Now I gotta play it. Thsts a crazy cross over

[@nestorgonzalez8021]

Man the Dreamcast was best for marvel vs Capcom games and Capcom vs Snk games… unfortunately SFIII 3rd strike was off 😅… great video my fellow man just earned new subscriber!

[@backlogchallenger4948]

Bruh. The only ones I actually own are the PS2 mvc2 and mvc1 on Dreamcast. All those other things are prices that I looked up online,I DO NOT own the rest. I have no desire to buy any one game for the price of a souped up PC.

[@garouchieflol]

is it me the only who doesnt like mvc2?

[@bihansiceclone]

Yes

[@willdiesel8431]

Probably not. The roster being bloated is one reason why it's my LEAST favorite but then Cable is making his only playable appearance along with some others, balances things out a bit. If you enjoy unlocking a large majority of the cast with in game currency THAT is what will keep you interested if you're not necessarily that good at the game.
