Taking On the ONSLAUGHT! - Month of Marvel! Marvel Vs Capcom

[@Sean_Bird]

I feel like more people probably care about Onslaught in this game then in Marvel Comics itself, to be honest.

[@OG_DouG]

To be fair, Onslaught don't really appear that much in Marvel Comics. But when he does, it's usually a shitshow

[@markhatcher2822]

Soo true tbh

[@TM_AZ]

Definitely.

[@brianmunoz3403]

He was a total event when marvel was dying as comic book company. Onslaught is waaaaay to op

[@edgarlozada3858]

That's how I got to know him! The memories. 😏

[@BrazillianCara]

There's something about MvC's soundtrack that none of the other games was ever able to replicate.

[@MateusDrake]

I like it better than MvC's 2.

[@StoneStephenT]

So many of the themes in this game are still the best version of their themes in the Vs. Series - e.g., Strider, Captain America, Spider-Man, Ryu, and Gambit. And Onslaught's second form theme is second only to Galactus in terms of the best final boss theme in the series.

[@esmooth919]

@@MateusDrake almost any soundtrack is better than MVC 2. That music just doesn't fit the game

[@chriszan8625]

MSHvSF actually has an even better soundtrack than MvC does. Listen to Akuma, Dhalsim and Chun Li's themes from that game.

[@Apocollective_horseman]

Agreed, I'm also gonna say the same about xmen vs street fighter. I guess each vs. game has it's own signature sound.

[@tinybee7780]

Always loved Onslaught's design. Never knew anything about the guy. When I found out he was the combined consciousness of Xavier and Magneto I was blown away. Heck I even thought Abyss from MVC2 was a Marvel character. As it turned out, like Amingo and Ruby Heart, Abyss was specifically made for that game and supposedly had nothing to do with Marvel. Edit: Apparently Amingo and Ruby Heart were both concept characters from Capcom: Ruby Heart was originally supposed to be a Darkstalkers character confirmed by Seth Killian and Yoshinori Ono in a PAX interview. Amingo on the other hand was supposed to be a character from a planned but cancelled Capcom game, but people are unsure which game would that be. Also, Ruby Heart was supposedly looking for the "Armor of Erosion" which turned out to be Abyss's First Form. So Abyss could have also been a potential Darkstalkers character.

[@Chud_Bud_Supreme]

Amingo was originally meant for a canceled fourth Darkstalkers, so he's technically a Darkstalkers character. Not sure about Rubyheart and Abyss though

[@tinybee7780]

@@Chud_Bud_Supreme Oh wow, yeah when you think about his design, that makes a lot of sense. He'd be a perfect fit for the Darkstalkers universe. Stange that his MvC wiki bio says "planned but cancelled Capcom game" Maybe it's Darkstalkers, Red Earth or any other old Capcom I.P. that I'm unaware of. Thanks!

[@Necromagenvi0n]

When I read the Age of Apocalypse comics, Abyss made an appearance there. So I naively believed for a while that the Abyss of MvC2 was the same one as the Abyss of the comics, regardless of his design.

[@shawziiz5031]

I want Capcom to resurrect Darkstalkers back. Just rest Street Fighter for a while. Make Darkstalkers 4 and add Ruby and Abyss as playable character. Might as well put Dante or Nero since DMC and Darkstalkers can be made as one universe perfectly. Sadly, with the rumor of Street Fighter 6 is happening, then Darkstalkers will remain "dead"...

[@pious83]

Abyss could make an interesting new final boss to a Darkstalkers revival, to be honest.

[@OG_DouG]

I wish they remastered these games as a collection so that people could experience them in the current generation. Imagine the glow up!

[@flashtheshapeshafter]

For me that's the dream come true, MVC collection with MVC 2 included

[@megamanpwn3dmario]

remaster them? the pixel art in this game can't be improved.

[@walterlucero5757]

Capcom and Disney have to kiss and make up first. Disney sure could of used one or two Eternal characters to appear in vs game!

[@PathFinder1490]

From a nostalgic standpoint, I do love Onslaught as a final boss (MvC1 my favorite VS game). Gameplay-wise, I loved having to fight Galactus and his Heralds in UMvC3.

[@esmooth919]

I loved Galactus as a boss, but I still can't get over the fact that while he's falling to his death, he still says "I will now squash you like the bug you are!"

[@tonyinfinite5174]

Weird they was no Silver Surfer in game despite his history with Galactus

[@pious83]

Weird that aside from Magneto and Thanos, this series never brought back the bosses as playable characters. Apocalypse, Onslaught, Abyss. Obviously just the phase one versions.

[@TheHedgememe]

@@pious83 Likely because characters like Onslaught and Abyss even in their first forms aren't designed like how the rest of the roster are.

Mmm from a personality,mental point of view,it makes sense.ryu isn’t some justice seeking hero who goes around saving people,he is a man constantly struggling with a darkness while trying to find enlightenment,while hulk is a raging savage who constantly wants to find some semblance of peace and learn to control his demons.they both in ways can releate

They should have brought this style change for Ryu in MVCI because they did not bring ken or akuma in it. Gave you 3 characters in 1. Could have been a win win situation

[@trevorghalt1881]

It's still the sickest thing that Ryu can turn into Ken in this game

[@ShadowMoon878]

He can also turn to Akuma

[@SylvesterAshcroft88]

This game was so insane at the time, i completely forgot about this game being on the ps1, it was so damn good! Edit; I feel like a lot of people sleep on JoJo's Bizarre Adventure on PS1/ Dreamcast as well, which was an insanely good fighting game, with incredibly high production, in the same vein as the Marvel Vs Capcom games.

[@txcforever]

Well the PS1 versions usually sucked. Like you couldn't switch between characters on the fly and everything had to load (I am not sure but I think even the special that both characters appear on screen had to actually load before happening). The Saturn version with the memory upgrade though... perfection.

[@Gridiron992]

[@ijustsawthat]

Once me (Ryu + Wolverine) and a friend (Hulk + Captain America) got into some fights, after 26 matches, we were even 13 vs 13. We decided to go out for pizza and let it be even. We never played the game ever again.

[@Chadius]

Mad respect

[@ijustsawthat]

That was my first MvC game, and to this day, the most competitive me and my friends can get in any fighting game.

[@Sir_Stalker]

MvC2 gets most of the love, and to some extent deservedly. It basically brought back most characters that showed up on previous games + added a ton more. But MvC1 has always been more special to me. The art, the backgrounds, the soundtrack, the roster (which was super creative at the time, especially on the Capcom side), the final boss and even gameplay. This was THE first game where I really got into combos, more than the previous ones. I had a hard time adapting to the 4 button scheme of MvC2 after years of playing this game.

[@Whienzarth]

I agree. MvC2 has amazing gameplay and crazy depth. Were this game feels like a full package with gameplay, art, presentation and music at its peak, Truly one of Capcom's finest masterpieces

[@BlackMoore82]

8:46 - "Thank you Jubilee your absolutely useless" As she was in the '92 animated series, preferred Dazzler in Pryde of the X-Men more and in the 4 to 6 person arcade game. In the comics to for that matter.

[@fakeigniz13]

That first phase, you just hold down back and do normals, don't chain, just do a quick normal

[@shinsmoke]

18:11, reminded me of the good old times of me stopping Hulk's Gamma Crush with Ryu's Shoryuken. 😂

[@hessiankyojin]

The meteorite just disappeared lmao

[@AceTrainerX3]

The reason why some of the music is fucked up in the Dreamcast version of this game is because it's generated in real time by the on-board sound hardware (rather than being pre-recorded Q-Sound tracks from the arcade version). Kind of an odd decision, as the main stage music *is* pre-recorded in the DC port. This also affects the JoJo ports on DC, and it just sounds cheap.

[@adrianhendricks772]

Thank you for the detailed explanation, sir. I honestly did not know that was the case! 😳 I mainly prefer the Dreamcast version because the Duo Team Attack special effects background properly replicates the arcade version, instead of sticking with a boring red.

[@AceTrainerX3]

@@adrianhendricks772 The sound effects are also kind of hollow for some reason. Makes it less impactful whenever a huge hit lands for me.

[@Chadius]

MvC's presentation is top notch. The art's great, the music's unstoppable, the Onslaught is one heck of a final boss.

[@Edboy2k22]

When I think of MVC 1, Captain Commando's theme ALWAYS plays on loop in my head

You are the marketing man! But you are right about what you just said. Thought I don't think MVC2 is the best fighting game it's so broken.

[@AliFOJ5]

MVC 1 is one of my favourite fighting game. I hardly played MVC 2 much but I’ve so much nostalgia for MVC 1 on the PS1. I played this game for hours end. Most difficult boss fights ever and imo the most iconic sound track ever in any Marvel vs Capcom fighting game.

I always enjoyed the Marvel vs Capcom series growing up. The days going to the arcades and playing until I ran out of quarters. Two years ago, I talked to some friends about Marvel vs Capcom 2 when someone told us about a weird dream they had. Curious, we asked about it. Here's what was said: This was a dream someone had when they were sick with the flu. They dreamt of the characters from Super Smash Bros... fighting in the style of Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Here's the weird part about the dream: They said they saw Sora (Who we dismissed as impossible because it was two years ago) fighting Banjo, Mega Man, and Pyra with an air combo changing to Bayonetta and then Ryu. Of course, we dismissed all they said as a weird fever dream they had. Though after everything that happened, I have to worry about how much more might come true. In what timeline would we have to be in for Smash Bros to have that spin off? Hopefully, it won't be Marvel vs. Smash Bros. 😐
