[@Sh00peh]

You can think whatever you want about him. But the fact is Duc won championships with fucking *spiral* during marvel's golden age.

[@kid-kuma]

5:04 Duc doesn't have enough for a third super so he cancels air HP into super to gain enough meter. That awareness was fucking sick.

This is one of the GREATEST Money Matches ever at Evo. The hype and the crowd at the time was absolutely insane. Also the craziest part is that unlike previous Evolution tournaments this one wasn't broadcast online but only being aired through chat. I can't remember the guy who was commentating the match but he was on chat and telling everyone who was online what was going down. Back then we had like 10k+ viewers which was insane back then but now its over 140k+...we've come a long way.

[@galanoftaa6439]

This was the most hype moment in FGC history. I don't see this level of hype ever coming back. MVC2 had the most hype, the most drama, the best money matches.

[@monkeyspank3005]

Indeed mvc2 will forever be known has the most hype fighting game ever.

[@ReedSavageTheGod]

Agreed, the amount of skill required to do this effectively is no longer required in today's fighting games. So the feel of winning isn't as satisfying to watch. Just my opinion.

[@monkeyspank3005]

@@ReedSavageTheGod so true man! Ever since they dumbed down the learning curve in fighting games to appeal to the "casual" gamer things have been so lame. It started with umvc3 I believe.

[@ReedSavageTheGod]

@@monkeyspank3005 It definitely started with mvc3, I played it, but xfactor lvl 3 was just pathetic. Very easy 0 to death combos, and one hit supers kills. Like damn do you even have to think anymore. It was so bad that you could chip away a third of someone's health with one super in a lvl 3 xfactor. I miss taking my Cammy psylock tron, against God tiers just for the challenge. The best thing about mvc2 is that I'd you're good you could stand a chance with any well put together team. Maybe not at evo in the top 16, but on a day to day basis to keep your fundamentals intact, most definitely. I mained MSP though. Lol

[@monkeyspank3005]

@@ReedSavageTheGod thank youuuu! OMG man there's so many new school gamers that started with mvc3 and think their good just because they can do zero loops. Im like bitch try do refly combos! I try to tell them that these games are for babies but they think I'm just hating, like naw man prove me wrong and get good at one of the old games lol. I remember I went to Evo 2k3 and I used omega red, servbot, doom and the guy looked at me like I was crazy lmao. I beat one guy then the next guy chose santhrax and won :( but at least I beat one person with servbot lmao. Mvc2 was the only real reason I became competitive and when mr wiz said he was done with mvc2 I was like well fuck Evo then lmao. BOTS is said to have been pretty good this year.

[@nerfednash4581]

Damn this whole set was hype. I love MVC2 and 1 much more than 3. Also, I'm remembering just how godlike Captain Commando's Captain Corridor assist was. Like damn lol

[@johnsyers8212]

Watching this more than a decade later, it is clear to see how dominating Captain Commando's assist was. And I'm saddened when I realize that using characters solely for their assists is what led Capcom to radically change the mechanics in MvCI, which ultimately killed the series.

[@e69alpha]

Atlesdt mvci was fun to play. Maybe if the roster/graphics weren't stale it would have lived longer. The meta changed from good assists to good lockdown supers

[@e69alpha]

👌

[@Ryusuta]

Let's be honest here... A LOT of things about MvC:I killed the series. And almost all of it involved corporate grab-assing and lame compromises.

I swear duc is the only guy who can guard cancel a hyper sentinel force into air hyper viper beam almost every time.

[@LTRiiken]

FACTS idk why none of these other top players can do it, people just die to getting locked into Hyper Sentinel Force and Chipped out, which means its actually unsafe but people are too lazy to lab it and just die to chip?

[@KaloKross]

​@@LTRiiken it doesnt work if sentinel is fullscreen, a bit too slow, its more about sentinels being aware enough these days not to do it unsafely. although that will get you into a good matchup if they dont have meteer, if they do they can dhc into storm out of it on reaction as the sentinel player, get the hail dmg + knockdown and followup which is the last thing u want when youre cable

[@nottobay6768]

Bitter old mana found. You can just as easy fall in to the trap of my character does this and not think beyond that in old fighters the same as with new ones. Just because the execution isn't "watered down" doesn't make it better. No games play themselves, some just give way too much damage for far too little effort and make it really easy to develope bad habits and hard to figure out you have them.

[@nottobay6768]

@Based Kaiser @Based Kaiser Bruh, what do you call a reversal than? It and burst technically are comeback mechanics in the sense that they mostly exist to be able to stop the player lead. As for making execution easier characters like st Guile are mechanically hard to play unless charge characters don't work for you, he's still considering one of the hardest to use characters in st because he's that hard strategically. Then there's samshow which is really simple by design but no one rakes it over the coals for that. Like I get that those newer games aren't for you and I'm not a huge fan of them either but at least let the people that like them have their fun in piece.
