MONTH OF MARVEL! Magneto Must DIE - X-Men Children of the Atom

[@SilverAxe13]

Someday, we’ll get a brand new collection of all these Capcom Marvel classics. Someday….

[@derekfcc]

An ‘Ultimate Marvel 1’ would be cool. All characters and stages from the pre-mvc2 games, 2v2, 6button config. Capcom won’t do it though. It’ll be up to the online community to create an emulated version of it. I’m down to learn and contribute if anyone else knows how to do this stuff.

[@mrsupergt1]

It's beautiful how fluid and fast the art and animations were in these games....such a shame that CRTs are dead and companies dont take an interest in giving games like these ether advance AI scaling it to HD or using some type of filter that replicates what these games from the 90s were meant to appear like....even so glorious 240p in all its glory...

[@DreamerFromTheDepths]

Can we take a moment to appreciate how good Omega Red's stage is? It has this really cool pseudo 3D effect and the background in general is full of detail, this game has some of my favourite stages out of the old fighting games.

[@esmooth919]

Honestly, the Danger Room was always my favorite stage from this game (next to Avalon)

[@SaiKisaragi]

I love his theme

[@TyGreenGoblin]

The jet stage is incredible

[@T.xvii.17]

Max's face when he thought he got Magneto on the 1st try. Precious.

[@rodylermglez]

The worst was that Magneto cancelled the fuck off his super. I'd had been salty too XD

[@solblackguy]

He actually would've had him if he didn't get greedy. Iceman is the easiest to beat Magneto with because of all the safe chip he can do.

[@carltasticdrew9633]

Or just sweep him all day in the corner and profit.

[@jonjonez7786]

I don't play videogames anymore, and I was never good at fighting games, so I just watch Max for nostalgia. I have no idea how good it is mechanically, but I fucking love how this game looks. It seems slower, but I can follow the action so clearly. The characters all feel really different in animation, with personality. MvC2 is like the upper limit of where I can actually follow what's happening, and that's only because I grew up with it. High level Guilty Gear is like visual pop rocks. The only modern fighter that reminds me of this is MK, in terms of characters feeling different. Anyway, I could watch a lot of this game and not get bored, or exhausted trying to keep up.

[@jeremyroberts8822]

Man I can barely follow MVC2 gameplay, most vs games are hard for me to follow because there’s so much going on at one time. Have you ever watched Max or anyone else play Ultimate MVC 3? The gameplay gets way crazier than in mvc 2

[@MrGatonegroish]

As someone slowly but surely cruising towards the age of 30... MvC2 and above is definitely a stress test on my ability to follow the action

[@JohnnyThousand605]

Capcom's artwork second half of the '90s was just amazing O_O

Yeah but I like the inhumans man and they ruined them (except Black Bolt genuinely love the guy they hired to play him and theh wrote him perfectly, everyone else, pure garbage. Especially medusa).

[@Lunatic89097]

With all of the buzz MVC2 gets, it's easy to forget that Sentinel had more unique animations here.

[@thefroyukenfiles3641]

Hell, EVERYONE had more unique animations in CotA than in MVC2. It's more apparent for the fighters that didn't appear in playable form again in a Vs/hyper game until MvC2 like Iceman, Colossus, Sentinel, Silver Samurai, and Spiral - where some of their moves were cut (namely the ones that relied on strong/forward inputs) along with stripped animations. Just look at Colossus's Giant Swing at 11:03 for example: he AND the character grabbed has a unique frame to make a full smooth rotation of movement. To replicate the same effect for MvC2 would require tons of additional work to make new "grabbed" sprites for the non-CotA fighters so most of Colossus's grab animation is his profile keyframe mirrored repeatedly with a tornado motion effect added, and whomever's grabbed recycles their appropriate damage sprite. On the plus side, they did give him some additional frames while he goes airborne with Giant Swing, though.

[@StoneStephenT]

[@paperluigi6132]

I’m staying in Vegas currently. Will go home in a few days. At my hotel, directly below the casino, there’s an arcade. There’s a few good games like Mario Kart Arcade GP DX, Cruisn’ Blast, etc. But at the back, I found not one, but two MvC2 cabinets (one of them was missing the P2 joystick). And the weirdest part? Unlike the other games, these were FREE TO PLAY, as in no credits required. So, TL;DR, I literally found Free MvC2.

[@sephiroth068]

Dude! I know what hotel that is. I totally know which machines you're talking about. I was in Vegas last week and found those exact machines as well. Even down to the missing P2 fight stick. Hell I thought one of the machines was MvC1 because the machine had MvC1 artwork on it but it was of course MvC2 like you said Pretty wild

[@ZacDicoot]

It’s currently 2AM and I’m having trouble to sleep right now but everytime it’s late I laugh over the dumbest crap. But the constant groaning and moaning coming out of iceman everytime he’s throwing an ice ball is having me in tears rn.

[@jakemills6417]

This is the game that started my passion for fighting games. I was literally 5 or 6 years old beating people 2-3 times my age down at the movie theater. I always used iceman and my highest streak was 15. 🤘

[@christopherhall6471]

Being 8, this was the first game that got me into fighting games.

[@Malikye666]

For anyone looking for other cheesy methods against Magnus with Iceman: You can jump and medium ice beam (extended). If you time it right you'll be able to hit him in the air and if he doesn't jump the falling ice beam will still chip him. If you're consistent enough he won't be able to respond well and may even get a few hits in. Use special if he gets close or if you want to quick get some more dmg in. Wait out his energy shield if he puts it up. It's usually best to jump and block during that as he is less inclined to use his unblockable energy balls.

[@CyberDragon10K]

Going to be that guy: Magneto is voiced by George Buza in *CotA* because David Hemblen (RIP) was unavailable at the time. Same goes for Omega Red and Juggernaut, with their show voice actors not being available until Marvel Superheroes vs. Street Fighter and X-Men vs. Street Fighter respectively. George did great regardless.

[@linkueiavenger4065]

Hardest difficulty? I remember X-men children of the Atom being hard on EASY

[@kwkfortythree39]

In Saturn my impression was that there was no difference if you set it to very easy or very hard.

[@Yalbou]

This game still has amazing animations, graphics and music. I hope one day marvel and capcom release those old games on current consoles and PC

[@ProjectWar17]

I like when Silver Samurai says “Vote for Meeeeee.” He has my vote.

George Buza, who voiced just Beast in the 90’s cartoon did v/o work for Colossus, Magneto, Omega Red, and Juggernaut in this game. Dude was outstanding

[@AndrewAnstrom]

The way they asked where wolverine is at the end reminded me of Homer saying that the other characters should ask "Where's Poochie?" when he's not on screen.

[@Kaizu823]

[@valiantcorgi5162]

Makes me wonder if Sentinel had all of his moves from Cota in MvC2 since alot of animations of his were cut, where would he be on the MvC2 tier list?

[@agustinuszheng588]

How to face Gouki/Akuma in stage 6: - You must not lose one round after all. If you lose once, start over. - Score some perfects - finish using super finish - do not score chip finishes. If you do, start over. - only X-men, Yashida (silver samurai), Sentinel, Arkady (omega red), Rita (Spiral) are allowed to face Gouki. This means, you cannot use Gouki, cain (juggernaut), magnus (magneto) to reach him. - if you use home (saturn or ps1) version, or the upcoming release of mvc legacy collection, the difficulty has to be 5 - 8 stars

[@Jiterdomer]
