Gambit Character History - Capcom Vs. Legacy

[@scottnotpilgrim]

Easily my favorite X-Man, he just oozes charisma and charm, they did him justice in the games

[@skunthundler]

I always thought Gambit was a Capcom character as a kid because of how anime he was lol

[@TheSeventhForce]

Royal Flush is one of the most anime supers in the entire series and I will die on that hill

[@skunthundler]

​@@TheSeventhForceMy money is on Shadow's Final Mission in marvel vs street fighter, but it's up there lmao

[@93SuperSonic]

​@@TheSeventhForce Hi there. First of all, you make good videos on the Vs. Series. Secondly, do you take requests on which character to do next?

[@TheSeventhForce]

@@93SuperSonic Hi, thanks for watching! As for requests, I generally have a set batch of characters I decide on for each month or so. If someone asks to see a specific character, I try and see if I can squeeze them in, but try not to make any promises. Did you have a character in mind?

[@carlbloke8797]

Another fun fact is that Gambit’s MVC & final season X-Men TAS voice, Tony Daniels, is also the main announcer for Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter.

[@TheSeventhForce]

Too true. 😂 It's the most sincere sendoff we've got! Appreciate you watching the video!

[@DavidCarlosOvalle]

Our big brother love this character so much, and us twins can really see the appeal. He’s a product of the ‘90s that actually struck all the right notes to stick with the other big names of the Marvel universe. It kinda frustrates us that we seen plenty of fans build their own theoretical roster for a brand new Marvel vs Capcom and most of them never included Gambit in the base roster despite his popularity. Always wondered why is that? Us brothers definitely want to see Gambit come back to a new installment of the series

[@TheSeventhForce]

I think it just comes down to being a product of the 90s for a lot of people. I don't think that should ever be a limiting factor for a character getting into more games, but some people don't feel the same.

[@indarkestknight1]

A series on the X-Men Mutant Academy trilogy characters would be awesome! I remember getting every game day of release.

[@NmyLogan]

My Brooklyn childhood laundromat still has its MVC2 cabinet! its horribly sun damaged but it still in operation.

[@HybridAngelZero]

"You got the original physical releases of all the classic VS games? How did you afford that?!" Gambit: "Credit Card" Okay, jokes aside, Gambit, like a lot of Marvel characters, was introduced to me by MvC, but even though I was kind of a snob towards superhero comics as a kid (which I eventually got over) I was still like "but he's one of the COOL ones" And yeah, Gambit is just freaking cool, Royal Flush is one of the sickest supers in all of fighting games, and it is a crying shame that he and Dante never got to be in a Vs game together. Also, yes, my friends and I back then thought his attacks were "Credit Card" and "Agent Strike" xD I did eventually watch reruns of the 97 Xmen cartoon after playing MvC, and I started to actually like some of the characters (though I wouldn't admit it). I should go back and watch it again, now that I think about it

[@TheSeventhForce]

I think everyone either was or at least knew someone who unironically called it Credit Card lol X-Men TAS is still worth a watch, I'd say! If I'm being honest, some parts of it have aged like milk and a lot of the censorship really stifled what they could do action wise, but it's one of the first earnest attempts at serialized storytelling in western children's animation that I can think of, and I think that alongside the decent adaptations of popular X-Men stories (It still just about has the only really good media adaptation of the Phoenix Saga, abridged as it is) really carry it. I'd say go for it!

[@vginsprdsobepr9698]

11:39 You brought back a lot of memories. I remember buying that comic when it came out. The second issue was “Honor Amongst Thieves” with Storm costarring. Gambit is still one of my favorite X-Men. He has high levels of attack strength and dexterity. The “New Son” story arc revealed that he is much more powerful than portrayed in the 616 Universe though I believe it was also revealed that he was the brother of Cyclops as Havoc. So now the summer siblings are a total of five boys with Gambit and Adam being shrouded in obscurity.

[@TheSeventhForce]

Yep! I had to be vague about the New Son stuff in the video since they're pretty much a walking spoiler, but yeah, it's a great arc.

[@vginsprdsobepr9698]

It’s very confusing. Cyclops’ mother was pregnant with Vulcan when she and Corsair (the original”Starlord” Lol) were kidnapped by the Shi-Ar. Then she lost the baby who was born premature and grew in a pod. Then she was assaulted by D’Ken and impregnated with Adam. So at what point was Gambit born in that story? Is by a brother or half-brother to Cyclops? The Summers family tree is starting to get extremely cluttered. Lol

[@EnderHeart5911]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think Gambit is actually a Summers brother. I believe that was just an alternate idea posed by his creator.

[@vginsprdsobepr9698]

@@EnderHeart5911 Nothing has been confirmed yet but we know that Gambit still doesn't know who his birth parents are. The New Son story was in an alternate universe but he was generically the same Gambit. This means that Gambit might be a Summers Brother.

[@Flashshadow]

Man, oh man! Gambit had to be my OG favorite X-Men character when I first started watching the cartoon! He just oozed coolness and charisma! I was happy that characterization was still the case when I finally started reading the comics. 🤩

[@neonthunder3261]

Speaking of MVC2, I recently got a 150 dollar copy of it for my Dreamcast for Christmas! I'm mildly terrified to open it.

[@TheSeventhForce]

Be sure to take care of it! DC version's only gotten more expensive these last few years.

[@Abigdummy4life]

This bastard Remy LeBeau be one of the main influences of me having spent my money on as many surplus of playing card decks as he has, in spite of me sucking at cardistry but being skilled at throwing cards instead, mon dieu. My personal renames for some of Gambit's moves: Cajun Slash -> Ace of Slash Cajun Escape -> Ace of Escape Cajun Strike -> Ace of Strike Royal Flush -> Regal Flush Cajun Explosion -> Blazejack ("Charge on 21!") Also when Gambit performs Royal Flush, he likely yells out "FLASH" since flush and flash are homophones when written in Japanese katakana (likely cause of the voice direction).

[@AnimeJason2011]

Way to end the year with the most cunning X-Man to date. Gambit is truly a ragin' Cajun. Happy New Year, Mon Ami! 😁

[@DintheAbary]

Gambit alongside Marrow, Cable and Jubilee are my favorites of the classic XMen, awesome video man!

[@Mello-Naper]

Gambit is like the strider hiryu of the marvel side, I may not know a lot about this character but they are cool as heck so that’s all that matters

[@prof.x3821]

Greatest X-Men character ever created! Great coverage on him, bro! Absolutely loved it. It's funny when you mentioned that Gambit and Rogue were pitched for XCOTA I always had a feeling back then that there was some sort of resistance of adding him in it. It was only a matter of time that he was added to the VS series because his popularity was high as a mother f^^^^^ at the time. His Sevbot glitch in MvC2, you don't have to use an assist for it to work. It's just more of a pain when you don't use an assist.

[@TheSeventhForce]

Yeah, you're right; I think the Royal Flush input has to be frame perfect (or close to it) if you do it without an assist.

[@randymaramot3076]

Let's go Cajun!

[@MaxP345]

Gambit is one cool Cajun. And even though he is not in MVC3 properly at least there are fans the actual put him in with Mods along with others like Venom, Captain Commado and more to come.

[@carlbloke8797]

Another great history & analysis video and I’m glad it’s about one of my favorite X-Men Gambit! What I love about X-Men vs. Street Fighter is how much more fanservice there was to fans of the 90s cartoon animated series. In addition to Gambit & Rogue who are core members of the team and got to be part of the roster along with their VAs from the show to boot, Jubilee also had a cameo in Wolverine’s ending which I thought was really nice and wholesome.

[@viewtifuljoe100]

3:07 Tony Daniels in Capcom Universe is also the Narration for both X-Men VS Street Fighter and Marvel Super Heroes VS Street Fighter. Coincidencionally, there's Suspect on his voice into Apocalypse for both Games. In 2001, Tony was also the English VL for Fortinbras and Osric from Onimusha 1. Well... From Interesting ways, Tony reached different places in the most characters.

[@doclouis4236]

9:46 Damn, who was your opponent LowTierGod?😂

[@RichterBelmont2235]

His Cajun Explosion is exactly what I imagine Gambit using his full power be like. Many X-men characters has that one defining moment such as Cyclops shoot his eyebeam through space and and rip a giant space fortress in two, or Magneto shifting Earth's magnetic pole. While in here, Capcom straight up give him something that only reserved for the strongest Capcom characters: the pillar of power. Think about it, Only Zero from Megaman X, Gouki from Street Fighter and Vergil (also Dante in his home series, Devil May Cry) has access to this type of technique where they punch the ground and generate a vertical beam of energy, which Gambit technically does with his second super.

Shoutouts to Raito

[@SirIsaacFortesque]

Did not expect you to upload this so fast, but I can't say I'm complaining. So Gambit, I have not unlocked him in MVC2 yet so I can't say anything on how much I like playing him, as for what I can say about him, I've only really had experience with him in the Wolverine and the X-Men Cartoon in like, the one or two episodes he's in, "I think she gave me a card, oh sorry, that's mine" (I don't remember the rest lol) and LEGO Marvel Super Heroes where he's one of those characters you have to complete three hub world quests of his to unlock him as a playable character, and I can agree, he is just, cool, I don't like him as much as everyone else does, but I would be lying if I said I still didn't think he's cool, not my first choice for a new MVC game, but I probably would bring him back. (And now I am turning this into a PSA to play LEGO Marvel Super heroes because that game rules, it's got a lot of characters from all over the Marvel universe, like, over 100 to give an ambiguous number, it's got sick levels, to give an example, there's one level where, while playing as Wolverine, Mr. Fantastic, and Hulk, Magneto is controlling Lady Liberty like a puppet, and you have to make your way through a nuclear power plant, then you have to make your way up while in the statue itself, and then fight the Mastermind at the end, that is all in one level, and if you want to 100% the game, you'll probably be doing it for like, a month or two, depending on how fast you are I guess, idk, it's also on every modern platform, it launched on PS4 and the Xbone, and got released on switch more recently, and I'm sure it's on steam so there's really no excuse to not play it in my eyes, thank you for reading my PSA)

[@TheSeventhForce]

I think I may have played a Marvel Lego game at some point, though I don't remember which. It was open world though, so maybe it was the Avengers one? Either way, I'll give Lego Marvel Super Heroes a look!

[@SirIsaacFortesque]

@@TheSeventhForce All three LEGO Marvel games are open world, I just used "Hub" because it kind of is, you explore it to go to the next level, and the levels don't actually take place in it, as for the differences between all three, LM1 is just Manhattan, LEGO Marvel Avengers is an adaptation of the MCU, (More specifically the first Avengers movie, Age of Ultron, and some short bonus/DLC levels based on a few others like Iron Man 3, Captain America the Winter Solder, and Thor the Dark World to name the ones in the base game) and while it is still mainly Manhattan, it does have a couple smaller hubs. (Like Hawkeye's farm, Tony's beachside house, and the S.H.I.E.L.D base Loki wrecked to name three) And LEGO Marvel 2, to keep the story short, is a Kang story where he brings together a bunch of places in the universe to make a perfect city named Chronopolis, which is made up of 17 different cities' so I'm not going to name them all, so if you played in Manhattan, it was probably 1 or Avengers, and if it was Chronopolis it was 2.

Unfortunately, outside of resorting to emulation, your options are pretty limited. Both Marvel Vs. Capcom Origins and Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 HD aren't available on their respective platforms anymore, and the only decent way to play X-Men Vs. Street Fighter outside of emulation short of owning the arcade board for it is the Japanese Sega Saturn port; which requires some hoops to jump through and additional hardware to play.
