SGB Play: X-Men: The Arcade Game - Part 1

[@587DeathKing]

"I work 24 seconds every 7 minutes" sounds like me writing a paper for class.

[@ShadowkingSonic]

No joke, one time I ate me some chicken in the shape of an X. I called it X-chicken. Nobody got the joke.

[@JMandJJ7797]

"He's a chicken I tell ya a giant chicken!"

[@mrguy22494]

"Even master Chickern is going in there! And he's a chicken!"

[@shawnfields266]

Keelan Barron aw... i. guess Wolverine forgot about the schools strict no eating the other mutants policy that Xavier enforces.

[@Yamamanama]

Eliot lost a life on Level 1. What is this, Super Mario Bros?

[@bensell982]

he game overed

[@itswest5301]

I died on World 1-1? Who am I Elliot!?

[@LegonAvannor]

Yea.

[@xavierparis2789]

The best part is that it WAS Elliot. Right?

[@kurtisharen]

I'll be completely honest, I didn't grow up with X-Men anything. Throughout the entire video, I see Wolverine and Cyclops (the obvious ones), some 90's teenager, and Robot Captain Planet.

[@davidpottinger9511]

Same, man. X-men is kind of "meh" to me. I'm super glad they're doing a lot of Spider-Man. 😁

[@LegonAvannor]

same, except for colossus, who I saw as, "Oh, it's the metal guy from the deadpool movie!"

[@ThatOneFlareon]

I grew up with X-Men Evolution. Good show in my opinion if you want to get into X-Men stuff.

[@MetalJrock2299]

Robot Captain Planet? I'm totally calling Colossus that from now on lol.

[@Errox025]

"X-Men! WELCOME TO DIE!" Oh my God! I've heard so much about that game but I've never seen it in action. This is going to be really interesting.

[@GoGojiraGo]

Blob can create a gravity effect on himself, rooting him to whatever surface he's standing in, which makes him practically immovable. His blubbery frame is also extremely resistant to damage, though his face is a lot more vulnerable. The only times Blob has been moved is when Hulk got REALLY mad and sent him and a large chunk of ground he was standing on flying, and when another strongman hero tunneled under him and picked up Blob and the chunk of ground he was standing on. I also believe at one point Juggernaut and Blob fought, and it was literally the Unstoppable Force meeting the Immovable Object.

[@gespenstmk-iii111]

Dazzler was created as a disco Superhero in the early 80's as an attempt to be cool, when Disco was dying out. She got a solo for a lot of years, appeared on some teams and now she's got some piercings and a gothish aesthetic and cameos from time to time. Pretty sure she's on the new A-Force.

[@XanduIsBored]

Ah, I never get enough of the "Welcome to Die" line.

[@theomnigamer9177]

Nobody picked Nightcrawler. :(

[@princedk2480]

Wow compared to everyone else uncle Greg sounds younger than the others

[@saiyanfox7201]

I thought so too. He sounds like one of my friends around 22 of age

[@yeahmatt]

I think elliot still sounds like a teenager

[@Darkclaw643]

I met him at TooManyGames I think he said he around John age

[@ZeroReaper42]

Dazzler converts sound into light, and she can use that light to make lasers out of it, along with photon blasts and illumination. Jubilee creates glowing pustules that can be used to blind people, but if used properly, she can cause a stroke by detonating one of those pustules inside someone's head. But I think she's a vampire now.

[@staticshockfanJC]

Okay so what's Matt's Beef with Deadpool anyway? He's more than a comedic character who breaks the fourth wall.

[@killerzombie2171]

He doesn't like the concept of Deadpool pretty much.....

[@Fleetw00d]

If he's like me, I don't like that Deadpool can do whatever he wants and we can chalk it up to his power set/fourth wall break. Sure, there are times I think he's funny, but most times I find it more insufferable.

[@LegonAvannor]

I think it's that he never takes ANYTHING seriously as well.

[@GoGojiraGo]

Matt doesn't like Marvel much at all. His main complaints are that the characters are relatable and that (and this is pretty much a movie only thing bar Deadpool and to an extent She-Hulk) they're not very serious during tense situations. He prefers his superheroes the DC way, aloof from the rest of humanity and always serious.

[@staticshockfanJC]

GoGojiraGo No offense to anyone who likes it that way but that sounds pretty boring. To me anyway.

[@MathieuLeblanc1991]

Actually Deadpool was introduced February 1991, this game came out February 1992 so yeah he was around , just not yet morhped into the lovable goofball we love or hate yet

[@Mekboy_ComputerMonster]

EH-EH-EH-EH-EH-EH-EH-EH, EH-EH-EH-EH-EH-EH-EH-EH- *X-MEN!* (I love this game; its a nice package of the Mary Mutants, cheesy goodness in the "voice acting", and just, well, so damn fun.)

[@Soundman97]

4:10 "I lost a life on level 1" that brings back memories doesn't it elliot

[@BriGuyIL1980]

"Fine, I'll be Scott" :D

[@sebastiancintron29]

I'll say this Pryde of the Xmens intro is pretty glorious.

[@sonicsaiyan07]

Going by pure memory, I think Dazzler's power was to turn sound into light energy.

[@JMandJJ7797]

How does that work?

[@sonicsaiyan07]

+Jay M (JokerJay779) How does one's bones become metal? Never question comic book logic.

[@Nintendrone42]

Comic book genetics, that's how.

[@sterlingmuse5808]

Probably something to do with Adamantium like everything else

[@MaxxCoyote]

I believe so yes.

[@Faapu]

This whole beating people up while they're down thing in this game reminds me of the Battletoads on the arcade, which has the same thing. The neat thing is that the animations are pretty gruesome, for instance Zitz drills enemies' necks. It's great.

[@RobotnikHolmes]

Those robots look familiar... "STARSCREAM HAS FALLEN! I STARSCREAM AM NOW IN COMMAND!"

[@XsvruploaderX]

24 weeks out of 7 months? So he works 6 months out of 7? That's not bad.

[@donkeykong75m]

late comment: But elliots dejected "Fiiinnne I'll be Scott" always kills me because of the type of character Scott is in the comics.

[@DirectorOfChaos9292]

And the animated series

[@largo233]

So this is the game that has MAGFest's famous catchphrase of "UAWHHHHH!"

[@sonicsaiyan07]

This game doesn't lack Deadpool, it SEVERELY lacks Spider-Man

[@Its_PizzaTime]

Spider-Man isn't apart of the X-Men, though.

[@sonicsaiyan07]

+Christian Schulz True, but Spidey and X-Men crossover about as much as Batman and Superman(may be exaggerating, but yeah).

[@xavierparis2789]

+Christian Schulz Yeah, but wasn't he in Xmen VS Street Fighter for no reason?

[@sonicsaiyan07]

Xavier Paris He was also in X-Men Mutant Academy as a secret character(May have been the sequel, don't quote me).

[@ThePreciseClimber]

Spider-man is not the kind of mutant X-men accept.

[@rdpruett88]

I remember the 90s X-Men cartoon and it was awesome. Only X-Men game I've played was was Mutant Apocalypse on SNES

[@mttylerdurden9]

Greg, Dazzler had a big part in Brian Michael Bendis Uncanny X-Men

[@Lightspeeds]

The next bsc con group needs X Men Arcade, and possibly Castle Crashers.

[@Iceteague1]

X men is one of my favorite Marvel team because they usually have the most realistic character development (especially when their written by Chris Claremont), memorable story arcs, and a lot of great writer runs, my favorites (ex Claremont) are Grant Morrison, Jason Aaron, Rick Remender's X-Force run, and Chris Yost and Craig Kyle's run on both X-Force and the storyline Second Coming.

[@AnthonyKusanagi101]

Johnny: "I'm picking wolverine!" Me: "Not on my watch you jerk!"

[@LordDrieg]

I stopped watching this to find and listen to that intro. Ah, memories... You guys are great, and so is this game!!!

[@ScatterbrainPete]

I wonder how many comments will be filled with Evil Craig quotes. "Magneto should NEVER smile." "Looks like Wolverine bathed in Rogaine." "Why is Jubilee in the game? Wait, Dazzler? Who the ****** is Dazzler?" "BEEEEEEEEEEESSS!!!!" "If I hear that ********* Colossus roar one more time, I'm gonna put a bullet in a puppy's head!!!"

[@325areynolds11]

The last time I saw Dazzler was before Secret Wars. The only thing I can really remember that she did was that she was the mutant enhancement drug, then she blasted Mystique out of a window.

[@junethefox5834]

The only real experience I have with X-men is the Deadpool movie, which was really good. Collosus especially was great.

[@introspectre7713]

I'm just sittin' here, watchin' the video, watchin' Cyclops throw punches and kicks and thinking "HE HAS EYE LASERS!!"

[@ilikethecokev2]

It takes health to do it constantly.

[@introspectre7713]

ilikethecokev2 I find that hard to believe since he is always using his ability since he can't control it.. I mean isn't that the reason for wearing the sunglasses?

[@ilikethecokev2]

The Introspector I mean in the game, not the comics.

[@introspectre7713]

ilikethecokev2 Oh, well that's dumb.

[@ilikethecokev2]

The Introspector It's for balancing purposes. If it didn't, the game would be too easy because you could just constantly spam it with no consequences.

[@WTFate]

OMG, I LOVED playing this game as a kid

[@TheAlcoarian]

Gawd love this game, and always remember Colosus' roar with his special. greatness incarnate

[@maxacorn]

just for the simple fact that you placed the old xmen theme, i love you guys. :D

[@jdfalcon08]

I am lucky enough to be able to go to a barcade and play this game on the legendary 6-player cabinet. Its always a good time with both friends and strangers.

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

And Johnny just screwed himself out of the Score Attack by accidentally Game Overing himself hitting the wrong button. XD

[@2x4noah]

The last time I saw dazzler in the comics was when she was a vampire and had an adopted baby.

[@Thanos6]

Dazzler was (maybe still is, not sure) a disco singer. Her ability is to absorb sound and turn it into light blasts, which she used as "special effects" during concerts but also came in handy during the requisite fights with super villains.

[@ZeroReaper42]

Dazzler takes sound and converts it to light. She can use this light as lasers, photon blasts, illumination, holograms, etc.

[@ilikethecokev2]

Every time I played this game as a kid I always picked Colossus, I had NO idea who he was back then, but that yell when he does his special made me want to play as him every time. Don't know why THAT was the deciding factor, but it was.

[@funkymon1251]

Ahh yes the Colossus yell( That was banned because it was used so much in some convention even got Nobuo Uematsu to do it during his black mages concert). OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

[@ScarletStarManor]

"You know since we played this we have to do the simpsons arcade game now right?" No!! ELLIOT, SHUSH!!!

[@jessetafel3186]

Atomic Comics! I go there all the time. I'd love to run into one of these guys in there

[@starman2517]

The voice acting in this game is GODLIKE!!!

[@starman2517]

Also the music in this game is fucking incredible! Especially junk factory!

[@danielw.8166]

2100 vids about 70,000,000 views runnin for a while now you guys really deserve more subs for all your hard work

[@staticshock4248]

I'm just like "Why aren't they at 100,000 subs yet? They should get that."

[@danielw.8166]

+StaticShock42 Yup or even more

[@jacks.cosplay]

collosus sprites makes him look like captain planet lol

[@jcdenton2187]

Nobody: Colossus: OoooooOOOOAAAH!!!

[@TheLuna9526]

I used to play this game a few times some years ago during Teen Game Night at my library. I did find some type of trick to this.When you have a swarm of enemies when you die,activate your special immediately when you hit the ground cause the invincible frames don't count to drain away your LP. Pretty helpful tip for when you play this the next time.

[@smashmaster521]

Jubilee's a vampire now, no sparkly powers included due to being depowered as a result of M-Day.

[@LoxuMan]

Learn now why they call me the muster of mugnetism!

[@Laenthor]

I'm waiting for the modern spiderman games... hoo boy will that be fun!

[@xavierparis2789]

I would like to see a Deadpool beat 'em up in this style. That's be kind of neat. With Dogpool as a playable character.

[@ssj4jason737]

And Jeff the Landshark

[@joe88john]

lol I love that line "Welcome to die".

[@shadowstephen8296]

Dazzler seems like the Aquaman of the X-Men.

[@jasonholland6370]

I see Magneto is also the Master of Irony, what with him using Sentinels as his foot soilders

[@RandomGuy9188]

The European Sonic X theme only had the words Sonic X said a lot

[@blivveries]

"Welcome TO DIE!" "But we have infinite respawns!" "...Farewell TO DIE!"

[@ZayAlexander420]

5:04. I remember that 1 and only episode of pryde of the X-Men, where wolverine apparently had an Australian accent. Seeing the direction it went later on in the 90's X-Men. I'm not mad at it but that incarnation could have been decent

[@nerdvanacomics1164]

Dazzler is still active in the Marvel universe she is now a member of the all female Avengers team A-Force.

[@HotaruShidareCandyWaifu]

5:56 - 6:18 When you are getting mugged in a bad neighborhood

[@SwordgunnerM92]

so much memories of this game

[@johtounova]

I've played on a 6 player cabinet at Yomocon 2015 in Detroit.

[@mikaela5938]

I used to have this on XBLA it was pretty fun I liked Cyclops.

[@MaxxCoyote]

I love ya Matt, but Cyclops is one of the more powerful X-men. He can wipe out armies by looking at them. Also, Jubilee can nuke the friggin planet if she really tried. She doesn't just make sparks, she makes atomic explosions. I wish I could sit with these guys during lets plays. Not to be negative...I just wish I could contribute to the conversation hah :)

[@DirectorOfChaos9292]

Matt hates Marvel that's why he's so negative towards it

[@ninjasanin500]

Yo, the Simpsons Arcade game was brutal, i never got past lvl 2. I would love to see you guys play that honestly

[@jamesevans1897]

14:24 - The Most famous line in the game, next to another.

[@offensivepicture4621]

dazzler's ability to turn sound into light would be useful for stealth missions, its probably more useful for studying quantum physics though.

[@GriningLewdist]

*Go easy on teen Jubilee rule 34* Too late John/Elliot's uncle.

[@Mister_Oddity]

Tbh, if I were Elliot, I would've picked Storm.

[@internationalmanofmystery1600]

Dazzler is...around. I think she's currently on one of the many, many, many Avengers teams.

[@jdtheba9171]

I can't wait to hear magneto's glorious voice

[@Cartoonguy133]

I AM MAGNETO, MASTER OF MAGNET!

[@syxodude91]

DIE X CHICKEN

[@u.dplaythroughs8486]

You are dead

[@darkdemon580]

to answer your question about dazzler as of A-Force (2016) issue 7 has gotten a version of thors hammer that she got from a different dimension version of herslef that survived the destution of battle world (long story short about batttle world the multiverse was ending dcotor doom got the power of the beyonders made a new universe that was made up of salvage parts of destroyed universes but he had a serious god complex and also used his powers to kind of punish other versions of hte heros he knew in 616and made super villains into kind of presidents of each univerrses area and he was eventually defeated if you want to read this even its called secret wars 2015 i recomend only reading the main titled because there are 144 tie in comics each running about 5 issues each)

[@smashmaster521]

Dazzler's still around in the comics, and she's currently a member of A-Force, an all-female Avengers team. *sees Dazzler pop up on screen to show she's still around* Well, that's modern, but outdated.

[@brandonlyon730]

So again Magneto attacks a heavily populated area, and the Avengers are no where to be seen.

[@ViroVeteruscy]

I still have Pride of the X-Men on VHS >w>

[@tino9117]

"GO AND RESCUE KITTEN FROM THE CAVE"

[@smashmaster521]

Why is Emma Frost with the Brotherhood in this game? I know she started as a villain, but she was never a member of the Brotherhood.

[@khalilcrocker]

Insert X-Men theme here

[@SnakeArtists]

2019 anyone? Ps. I thought this was a new video but no it was a recommended

[@Wanderingsage7]

and sadly, Kurt does not get a role

[@u.dplaythroughs8486]

Fine I'll be Scott!!

[@zdgstudios]

If Elliot didn't want to be Cyclops, then why didn't he choose Nightcrawler or Storm?

[@johnterry6556]

Wendigo is a hulk bad guy

[@adiraiju9336]

For those of you who played this game in an actual arcade when they were younger - anyone wind up playing any one character in particular? I always wound up as Cyclops... ...possibly for the same reason I always wound up as Marge in "The Simpsons" arcade game.

[@KayDizzelVids]

You should see the Japanese intro for the xmen animated series. Jubilee looks pretty damn badass in it!

[@shawnfields266]

IceHighwind oh, i know right, dude? Dazzler ls looking pretty too, lest we forget. even if Dazzler is a lame excuse for an X-Men character. have a nice day/night wherever you are.

[@GoGojiraGo]

Glad to see some Dazzler love in this, she was always my pick as well. Dazzler was part of a music deal thing as well, her character is a rock musician/singer. Her power is that she can absorb sound and turn it into light of any kind and wavelength, from beams to photons to explosions of the entire spectrum, and she could focus her light beams to laser intensity and turn herself into a miniature sun. While she was criminally underused as a character, her powers were incredibly strong, because she was immune to being blinded or deafened and the more sound she was exposed to the stronger her light powers became. In one story Galactus borrowed Dazzler and exposed her to the sound of a star going supernova, which made her so powerful she could retrieve one of Galactus' Heralds who was trapped inside a black hole.

[@smashmaster521]

Elliot, Cyclops is awesome! No whining about having to use him or I'll sic HYDRA Captain America on you.

[@DirectorOfChaos9292]

He's a total douche though. In the animated series especially

[@smashmaster521]

@@DirectorOfChaos9292 No, he's not. Cyclops in the animated series is a boyscout. Also, that was five years ago. Where does the time go?

[@ultimateshadeofwar]

3:04 Not to mention that Scott is worse father then Wolverine... And we are talking about the guy that's a better father to some girls in Xaviers academy, then is own blood. Hid own son hates him enough, so that in their first meeting his son end with him cutting his throat...

[@OmegaX5000]

Is it just me, or do those purple soldiers holding the overly long guns in the first stage look an awful lot like Samus?
