No idea why this was set for kids for a sec. Sorry!

Captain America is for the children 🇺🇸🫡

[@Wolfedge75]

Because America’s -ass- icon has to set a good example for the kids!

Captain America legacy on the Fourth of July is great planning

[@ELECTRICSHEEP94]

Happy Birthday Steve Rogers Captain America, can't wait to play you in MVC later this year.

[@ToniBlaster7195]

There was even a Ninja Turtles comic that was a tribute to Jack Kirby. That was later adapted into an episode of 2003 Ninja Turtles cartoon. There also was an episode of 90s Superman the Animated Series dedicated to Jack Kirby.

[@TheSeventhForce]

@@ToniBlaster7195 The version of Dan Turpin in Superman TAS was also modeled after Kirby himself!

[@SMAXZO]

It's the intro, man..that intro to Cap's theme just signals "You ready for a headbanger, kid?"

[@TheLegendRome]

my headcannon is force was sitting around wondering what his next video would be and then heard someone let off a firework and got too work asap

Maaaaan the way fireworks have been going off every night around my way, this may as well be true lol

"Freedom, Equality, Humanity, Justice: This is the AMERICAN SPIRIT!"

[@simonmejia6896]

Perfect timing. One of the oldest and long enduring super heroes ever, even before Marvel got its brand name. While Cap may not be the founding member of the Avengers, he is the MAIN Avenger. A reasonable leader in battle, Rogers fights not just for his own country of his namesake, but for everyone in the name of freedom and justice. Once you hear his classic and awesome theme coming into play, MvC1 especially, that feeling of motivation kicks in at full throttle and never helds back! Happy 4th of July, and.... "Thumbs up, soldier!"

Happy Fourth of July Captain America. 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡

[@JohnDoe-n5m]

I cannot to state how much I appreciate you dedicating a whole section to Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. Jack Kirby actually saw combat during WW2 as well. It’s nice people are finally acknowledging his contributions to comics as a whole instead of just one singular person who created Marvel. Kirby and Ditko, both important figures to the medium!

[@neonthunder3261]

I have to say the foreshadowing about the Cap theme section in the MSHvSF section of the vid was top notch

[@TheSeventhForce]

Foreshadowing is indeed my favorite literary device

[@neonthunder3261]

@@TheSeventhForce I listened to the MSHvSF version religiously so hearing how intense the MVC version was (I tend to listen to the MVC1 tracks the least) was mind boggling. Great game but I never quite clicked enough with any of the characters.

[@ShinRyojin]

Final Justice is the most Capcom-esque super combo. A multi hit combo followed by an Izuna Drop. So damn good!

[@chidaluokoro9104]

happy 4th of July to you Americans

[@EmeraldXthe42nd]

Probably just me looking too deep into it, but Cap's stage in MSH reminds me of Kamandi: The Last Boy on Earth, another one of Kirby's creations set in a dystopian future with anthropomorphic animal people ruling the Earth.

[@ingramatth]

They added to the roster Shuma-Gorath, who had like 3 minor appearances in the 70s/80s in Dr. Strange. The Capcom team went DEEP for this game, wouldn't shock me if it ended up being an intentional reference.

[@conlinmckay1742]

Nice to see cap finally covered on you're retrospective. You did a great job on this.🎉

[@LowellLucasJr.]

Absolutely I love how Capcom translated this patriotic hero into a very solid fighter with a shield! They just made him such a cool character to play with! I also give cap some credit for being the only guy to believe in the Hulk; no matter what's thrown at him!

[@georgeliquor1236]

I always look forward to your VS videos, but that Kirby tribute at the beginning made me respect and love you more. Great ass video.

[@TheSeventhForce]

That was actually a suggestion a viewer made! I was always going to talk about him at some point, but someone suggested that a Captain America video would be the perfect place, and I had to agree.

[@frappompi]

MCU movies if they actually used Cap's theme: instantly a 10/10

[@ELECTRICSHEEP94]

Also you are deeply underrated KZbin channel and I really wish you had more subs because you actually put effort into your videos.

[@tsuneomccormick115]

God Bless America and your videos, especially on the Captain.

[@Showasama60]

23:22 you told no lies. THE BEST SONG OF ALL TIME!!

[@pseudohippie55]

The best thing about Cap is his assist callout in UMVC3. It always cuts off when the assist comes out, so you'll hear "I NEED EYE OF AGAMATO" or something similar and it's hysterical

[@HybridAngelZero]

Like with most Marvel heroes, MvC is what introduced me to the Cap, and I always have fun playing as him. I also always felt that Cap and Megaman or X would be really good friends, and I LOVE that they went with that angle in MvCI. Also, it's funny, I don't think of Captain America's theme in the MvC games as his theme as much as I just think of it as the theme to MvC as a whole! The song really is THAT good!

Great video as always man and perfect timing for the 4th of July. Can't wait to rewatch this alongside the other episodes whenever I feel like binge-watching this series.

[@EdgeofNotion]

Appreciate that Cap's new moves in Infinite were all tools that would have helped him a lot in UMVC3 without dramatically changing him (overhead kick, high risk comboable counter, slow arcing shield slash for setups).

[@mr.jinjin]

Dropping this on 4th of July was slick ngl

[@TheMerc15]

One of your best videos yet

[@andyx181x]

Awesome video and work like always, I always loved watching video break downs and history like this for my favorite games. Also big kudos for pointing out the return of bucky barnes and jason todd from DC comics was the same year. Just amazing how these two broke out in their own characters long past their deaths.

[@MaxMarriner]

Your turnaround is really impressive. Great work here, I love Cap in MvC.

Awesome Video Captain America is my favorite Character in MVC, UCM and in Earth Mightiest Heroes also thanks for the comics recomendations

[@SpiralSword40]

The Fighting Game Historian continuing to deliver bangers as usual. I still remember the first Captain America comics I read. It was in the Marvel Essential books. Black and White, but the art was so good. I was accustomed to reading Manga, so it didn't bother me too much. His classic stories are great.

[@EddyGordo21]

High quality as usual. I love this series!

[@residentlando]

i like unyielding justice a lot final justice was cool but that kicking the shield into the opponents skull moment from the new super was too fire

[@LowellLucasJr.]

🎉🎉It's time to celebrate america! Phuc yea!😂 🎉🎉 Great video as always

[@SirIsaacFortesque]

"Insert "I need Backup" reference here" Cap's pretty neat I'd say, his theme is obviously a banger, and I did actually enjoy playing as him when I was going for his MVC3 ending, maybe I should try playing him more when the collection comes out, he probably has some of the best alts in MVC3 as well. I'd also like to highlight one specific line in Earths Mightiest Heroes, cause it's definitely my favorite moment from Steve. "You think I'm fighting for me? to save my own life? I'm not fighting for me, I'm fighting for them; And that's something you'll never understand machine! it's the very thing that makes us human" that one scene, mostly the dialog has stuck with me since I first saw it, one of the best scenes from that entire show imho, and seeing it again with Vision using it to break the Purple Man's mind control was great too. (I still have no idea who that guy is, I've never seen him outside of that one episode of the show) I'm also kinda wondering how different U.S.Agent could be if he would be added to the roster now.

[@jrtien]

Purple Man I believe is an old Daredevil Villain. I believe he was in an episode of X-Men Tas season 5 with the orphans. He was the main villain in that horrible Jessica Drew show for season 1, and the only comic I have him was New Avengers #1. He shows up arrogantly telling Luke Cage to do something horrible, but he has an inhibitor color on and gets his ass kicked.

[@Ssbb7777brawler]

I like your vs series of videos . They are so informative , not to mention the nod to one of the kings of comics , jack Kirby , is definitely worth giving respect to. Can’t wait for more. I do hope morrigan and the other Darkstalker characters get their time in the limelight too down the line since they have a hard time getting that aside from the crossover games.

[@StarForceBelmont321]

One other thing about US Agent is he is slightly faster on the ground and he has less Hp Basically hes a speedier Cap with worse HP

[@antiseize11]

I was waiting for this one! Next do Juggernaut!

[@blumoon131]

Perfect way to celebrate the 4th. Also your Spider-Man is awesome!

[@TheSeventhForce]

Thanks! I should really practice more lol

[@paulandrewgonzales1241]

Great video! You should definitely do other members of The Avengers like Iron Man!

[@Mextlatec]

We really need Marvel vs. Capcom 5

[@MISCDesigns]

It took me all these years to realize this, but half of the stages on this game, including Captain America's, take place after Thanos's snap. Which is why some stages are devastated or abandoned (like Hulk's)

[@flyingningahero5961]

A run that I feel you should've mentioned is steve englehart's, whilst alot of it is addressing the at the time current political scandals of the 1970s there's alot of fundamental stuff here like falcon's development as a character, the original secret empire saga and the nomad storyline also jim steranko's very short but extremely influential run

[@TheSeventhForce]

I definitely should've mentioned that run in hindsight, yeah. I will be talking about a run from one of those two writers in particular for another character in a future video, though.

[@OrientalBales]

If I were to redo final justice for the next game, it would basically be the scene where cap pummels thanos with mjolnir and his shield. He would end it with a jolt of tunder from the sky.

[@kamenrangerzeo8251]

17:37 I can listen to this ending theme of Captain America so much that it yells out Freedom prevails. Happy birthday Captain America: Avengers Assemble!

[@lostmediadetective2590]

[@derywade9131]

I'm probably super biased due to UMvC3 being the first fighting game I got into semi-competitively, but man, MvC Infinite felt like such a huge let-down when I played it. It felt like it took a huge step back for some reason.

So Captain America had a special win quote against Black Widow all this time... Interesting.

@@gaming_master5528 Wild thing is I only came across it accidentally! Was recording the Avengers intro quotes and just happened to have it recording at the end of the battle when she said it. Hadn't seen it mentioned anywhere else, but that's understandable since Infinite's interactions are randomized for whatever reason.

I wouldn't say Cap was the most well known Avenger, I would probably give it to Thor and especially Hulk.

[@MrBlazemaster525]

LET'S FN GO!

[@goldglovegrappler1382]

Your videos always really highlight how many little things Infinite gets wrong compared to 3. Designs, dialogue writing, voice direction, music, even the hitstun noises being this harsh metallic sound. It's something that should be studied I think, it's impressively thorough in how it downgraded just about everything. I don't know if it's worse-looking than Avengers In Galactic Storm, but I'll leave that one out on a technicality due to not being Capcom. I'd probably have more fun playing Galactic Storm if not for Sigma/Nemesis too.

[@brycebitetti1402]

I will say that for all of Infinite's flaws, I vastly prefer Unyielding Justice to Final Justice. Unyielding Justice has a far more cinematic flair with a much better flow between actions. Ending it on a shot of Cap landing with the shield, while obviously MCU inspired, I think feels truer to the character and is a far more evocative image. And of course, that shield kick is just so damn hype. That alone makes it the better Hyper Combo.

[@BATCHARRO]

I'm gonna be honest I always thought Cap's MSH stage was supposed to be Statue of Liberty being built. Somehow. Like, Cap's from the past, right? They're in the past...somehow. Of course that doesn't make too much sense but I was like 7 cut me some slack.
