EVO 2024 - Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Top 4

[@jamieSp69]

How are competitors supposed to know to go there to complete then?

[@juniorcomsono]

What's OG?

[@LilBrujoFH18]

Third strike was advertised a lot? Same with street fighter hyper 2? Maybe because marvel is just an American game?

[@jumboshrimps4498]

"advertise"? If you can't figure it out at this point on your own then you're not a fan of the game

Man smoothviper plays clean, always has. Didn't know he had an msp

Yeah he been played MSP a long time ago. I’d say maybe like mid 2000’s like maybe 2007 he started playing it.

Awesome matches/commentary! This is the game that made EVO!

You can tell that there are more old school gamers that are a part of this event, and probably been playing MVC 2 since the early dreamcast days. I can't wait to see how the new younger generation handle this game.

I had no idea there were other streams going on, besides the main ones. There was absolutely no advertising for them, which is unfortunate. I'm sad I missed this live.

Should’ve been main stage ngl … didn’t know this even happened

[@jumboshrimps4498]

Smoothviper and Potter in grand finals? No disrespect, but MVC2 is dead

[@momiavt]

@@jumboshrimps4498 I’m thinking if they promoted as a main stage game that would get showcased maybe some OG players would join it and would help push the hype for the collection . Ppl loved that match with Wong and Snipes on stage. Just imagine if it meant something more than an exhibition

[@kyokusanagi7874]

​@@jumboshrimps4498definitely not.=)

The no vocals of that mod is weirding me out XD. (But then there's vocals on the Ice Raft?)

[@REAL-Silent-PANDA]

I thought I was the only one. Like just hearing no vocals is bugging me tf out😭😭

[@Chadius]

The Daytime Ship was using the OG theme so there's still vocal SFX in there. I'm still singing along lol

[@TheLAexplorer]

And Roundhouse did in fact take Smoothviper's money

[@mimi29432]

Locdown is pretty funny and also knowledgeable of the game haha 😅 Good commentary

[@cooltron]

3:59 he mashed out because it has to be a specific height and combo into the tempest for the unmashable on sent and servbot did it wrong. I could tell right away as he did it.

[@xGOFORBROKEx]

The only way he will get unmashable is with Psylocke into tempest. It’s harder to mash out with sentinel than other characters.

[@cooltron]

@@xGOFORBROKEx No. What I am saying is, if done correctly with all the right stipulations, you cannot mash out of it. It’s been proven already.

[@xGOFORBROKEx]

​@@cooltron You're able to mash out. The tempest dispersion pattern is affected by both player's input so if you hold an incorrect direction you won't be able to block on time.

[@cooltron]

@@xGOFORBROKEx I've been playing on a pro level since 2000 for 12 years straight. You cannot mash out of it. You're saying you can't block on time. There will be no blocking because you cant mash out of tempest. People think you can mash out of it because the opponent does it incorrectly therefore allowing you to mash out. LIke i said, magnetro and others have proven you cannot mash out of it on video.

[@xGOFORBROKEx]

@@cooltron I’ve seen the video by Magnetro and it’s well explained on how to mash out and what causes people not to mash out. I have no idea how you think it’s unmashable when you can mash out but sometimes you don’t get it on time. I’ve seen people mash out and still get hit because they were mashing too much.

[@jackofallgames3097]

This is what I'll never understand about today's players. Back in the day, all resets were banned, and if you tried using them in the arcade it meant you had a death wish

[@tyomega6503]

Love me some Thrax, Scrub, MSS and MSP. Mvc2 the 🐐

[@Jackdaw_monedula]

I love this game! It’s hard to believe it has 56 playable characters when in competitions everyone plays with almost the same teams.

[@MagnusSentDooM]

They ain't all playable in competition/serious matches......it's just how the game is

[@TrollCapAmerica]

People who know anything about fighting games know why that is and dont complain

[@Jackdaw_monedula]

⁠@@TrollCapAmericaI disagree. I have been playing this and other FG for years to know “anything” to complain if I want to. I have seen amazing players who don't use Storm and Magneto to show a difficult and great game to win. It's ok if you don't agree, I don't care. As a viewer it's just not exciting to see the same over and over again.

[@Jackdaw_monedula]

@@MagnusSentDooMI understand but as a viewer, it gets monotonous. Maybe the tournaments can implement a category where these god-tier characters are banned, to encourage the other rooster usage, idk.

[@TrollCapAmerica]

Custom mix or new music for mvc2

[@unskimaisteri85]

I kinda love watching these MVC2 matches. Not because I admire players' skills, game's old-school graphics nor hype-upped audience and their reactions but the actual fact that I STILL CANNOT comprehend what the actual phuck happens during fights xD

[@joey5745]

I cant play the game but i think whats happening is they spam attacks to built meter, maneuver the chaos with dashes, and flying. Call assists to defend, attack, or counter call assists. I think they both look for an opening if they get they do those crazy combos,

[@LiteralApe]

Actually, there are no crazy combos, bar the occasional infinite . You're right. 90% call assists build meter, and if you get a hit cash out with supers. Rinse repeat​@joey5745

[@Neiji_SF]

There needs to be a high level play tournament with a big prize pool that has magneto, psylocke, sentinel, commando and storm banned from play.

[@Jay_Tsunami_]

I love this game to death. Started playing it the year it released on Dreamcast and eventually ps2. I always sucked at it. I understand why everyone uses a variation of the same 6 characters.. and I agree.. but watching online matches where people use their own weird/random teams and characters that I always sucked with, scratches that mahvel itch for me. This, is slightly hard to watch, and I only have the capacity to watch the grand finals. Having said that, I’m extremely happy that this game has survived the test of time and is still beloved by so many.

[@Tomnickles]

Cable/Commado are best of friends.

[@Purlypurlington]

Dreamcast w/ Brook Converters.

This is on the dreamcast! Also, there are boards for old retro or you can use a brooks converter if you wish to use your PS4/PS5 stick.

[@TheLumaInChroma]

@@xGOFORBROKEx beautifully answered. Thank you. Do you think when the new MvC Collection game comes out, the scene will pivot to playing the version of MvC2 on that, possibly on PS5/4, rather than on Dreamcast? Also - is there a web page on EVO where they tell you the specific versions and platforms that are being used for the tournament?

[@xGOFORBROKEx]

@@TheLumaInChroma Good question! It depends on the final version when it comes out! It may be played on the PS4 (maybe PS5 due to cloud) but Dreamcast isn't bad as there are AV converters to HDMI with about 1ms delay. So, we don't need to use those big CRT. But, if Sony wants more people they will most likely use the new collection.
