Get Into: X-Men Children Of The Atom (FOR FUN)

[@PatchtheReaper99]

Rest in peace, Norman Spencer. The best Cyclops

[@arashi86]

The moments of Woolie & Reggie starting off with backstory are a big part of why I love these videos. I was never too heavily into playing fighting games coming up and I'm still casually about them even now, but hearing these dudes just talk about where certain games came from or what the route was that led up to them feels good af.

[@DJackson747]

I also forgot that this game has a ton little character specific shit like Colossus being able to OTG throw people and all his normals doing chip, Omega Red stealing meter, Wolverine having a healing special, Iceman taking no chip damage from energy/beam specials etc.

[@N00BSYBORG]

If you want to see just how detailed the animation is, set the playback speed to .25 during a match and marvel at Psylocke's walking animation. Those thighs have never looked better.

For you folks who don’t know: Cyclops was right. Cyclops is awesome. He wasn’t ALWAYS but he’s great. Don’t let the Matt’s of the world who don’t know or the Liams who echo him without real knowledge fool you. Read Grant Morrison’s New X-Men run or Joss Whedon’s Astonishing X-Men run; watch X-Men Evolution. The 90’s cartoon and the Fox movies did Cyclops dirty. I used to be a Cyc hater too but we were lied to.

[@ultrawillpower2737]

Don’t forget Wolverine and the X-Men, made Cyc a jerkass cynic

[@ultrayoshi100]

I liked the 90s cartoon when they showed him to be the capable leader guy. It wasn't always but it what made me admire him. But in the attempt to make him more interesting by adding flaws ( and boy did they give him flaws) they lost what made Cyclops appealing

[@knganarxhy]

At least people still remember him tho, my boy gambit has been all but forgotten and it hurts my heart cuz he’s so cool

[@michaeltheodore5149]

A KZbinr by the name of SUPER FRAME has a great video on Scott.

[@orlanzo2621]

Here it is: The game that started the VS series. I used to play this at a local Pizza Hut all the time back in the day. Man Magneto was a bitch to beat in this game man, one of the hardest bosses ever to me. I could only ever beat him by cheesing with Akuma.

[@DaDMonDCB]

And yet they really thought some folks wouldn't notice/care that Akuma and Magneto weren't in MvCI.

[@orlanzo2621]

@@DaDMonDCB Yea it was sad how stripped down the roster was, that's really the thing that killed it. I think people would have put up with the bad presentation and graphics if it had a great roster because the gameplay was actually good.

[@cyberninjazero5659]

@@orlanzo2621 What do you mean Wave Dash function was totally in the game

[@DaDMonDCB]

@@orlanzo2621 It was a 3 hit combo. Disney with the hackneyed budget and the cut of most non MCU Content (and the butchering of what remained; hi Ghost Rider lv3), Capcom not being able to fix it and shooting themselves in the foot in the process, and then DBFZ coming in and stealing the show. I really wanted to buy MvCI because my brother and I love the Xmen Fighting Games, but my brother plays Wolverine/Deadpool/Dante and I play Iron-Man/Wesker/Vergil. 2/3rds of our choices gone, and the only excuse we had at the time was "functions".

[@rudeboyspodcast]

This was my first VS game too and it was fucking insane for me to try to follow what was happening at a young age. Then Marvel 2 came out...

[@DJackson747]

I literally forgot silver samurai could stack both this afterimage and his elemental blade buffs.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 devs were obviously big fans of these early Capcom produced Marvel games as they feature a very large amount of the same special moves in thier game such as Berserker Barrage etc.

WE MAKE OUR DREAMS COME TRUE!

[@LeeONardo]

There was so much animation put into this game that not only was there additional animations for hitting you opponent on the floor - there was dizzy animations for laying on the floor too which I never knew about. In fact one animation was shown in the fisticuffs episode from years ago, Collosus knocks Psylocke down and she dizzies, Matt actually comments on it.

[@AntiAnnihilator5000]

You know why they call Reggie "Red"? Because that's the color his lifebar turns when he gets caught sleeping like at 49:53.

[@vahlok1426]

This game's soundtrack kicks ass. Mutant Hunting is one of my favorite Marvel fighter stage themes ever.

[@piratemalassis]

It’s amazing, you’re right! I love Omega Reds theme.

Get Into Fighting Games: The Return of Marvel Bias

[@spatulator6285]

That's not fair, there's never been a good DC fighting game, of course there's a marvel bias.

[@furyberserk]

You are talking about a game with the character that inspired summon swords. Bias is to be expected.

[@SolBuster]

What's the point of this comment anyways and why does it have so many likes? Is there a problem with liking these games? Is there an issue with having a bias? These games are fantastic. What's the issue?

[@travissloan9411]

@@SolBuster It's an old running gag from the best friend days: woolie and matt talked way more about marvel games and comics than dc stuff.

The blackbird stage theme tho.

[@StriderRyu7]

[@Jamielordofgingers]

As a ginger, I hereby give Reggie an R-Pass. He can call himself 'Red' once.

[@eon001]

I just want to take a moment to appreciate the Capcom X-men art in the thumbnail. First time I've seen Cyclops look so menacing.

[@cyberninjazero5659]

45:55 In the original book Red was Irish with red-hair hence the name. But they got Morgan Freeman to play him BECAUSE WHEN YOU CAN GET MORGAN FREEMAN IN YOUR MOVIE YOU PUT MORGAN FREEMAN IN YOUR MOVIE

[@thunderphoenix440]

In the movie, you can see just for a split second when they stamp his parole card that his last name is "Redding".

[@cyberninjazero5659]

50:30 YES MUTANT ACADEMY That game was my childhood. Skip the first one and play 2 if you ever get to it. Same Gameplay with a bigger cast (Including cool secret characters one of which blew my mind as a kid)

[@AJRomeroCCS]

Yo, instead of resetting after a match, you can have save states ready at the character select screen, share and help get more matches faster

[@Dirtyboots3strikes]

You don't even know. You don't know how, back then, I came into the arcades, looking for a SFII cabinet to play on, and lo and behold, they made an X-Men fighting game. Holy shit, those were some memories. Even bigger shock when I found out they made the first VS game featuring those two games. *sigh* Those were the days. I love it.

[@orlanzo2621]

Yea my 10 year old mind was completely blown when i saw an X Men vs SF arcade machine at the front of Walmart in 1996, it was truly something crazy to see back then, there was nothing else like it. A tag team fighting game?? With BOTH X Men and Street Fighter characters?? And they are doing big over the top combos and super moves?? It was like an instant sugar rush to my brain at the time, lol.

[@piratemalassis]

@@orlanzo2621 oh yeah dude it was crazy! Just after Xmen, Marvel Super Heroes came out and my mind was blown. I stole so many quarters from my parents money jar! Then Vs was a whole new level of awesome.

[@thunderphoenix440]

I love this game, back when it was in arcades it was ground zero for me getting into fighting games like the title suggests. I remember playing it over and over in some Wal-Mart in middle of nowhere Alabama and discovering how to do Omega Red's Omega Strike for the first time and I was like 'Ahhhhhh, THAT's how you do a special move!".
