Not being able to just go out and read the X-Men comics when I was a kid, I learned of Onslaught from my little brother and him narrating what he had. Still remember getting the PS1 version of MVC and him flipping out when Onslaught showed up as the final boss. "It's Onslaught, and he's the final boss, and he's kicking your ass, and I'm sorry, but he looks really cool!," the Onslaught fanatic said. Liked seeing what the big bad could do in versus mode after I unlocked him though. Arcade version was fun at the Mall too back in the day.

[@rcblazer]

I spent lots of time playing X-Men vs Street Fighter and Marvel vs Street Fighter. Knowing I was a huge fan of Mega Man, one of my friends told me "Capcom made a new one with Mega Man as a playable character." and I was blown away. Then I got to play this as Mega Man, and I was hooked for life!

My own MvC story. I had experience playing Marvel Superheroes in the neighbourhood bar, so when MvC made it to the larger arcade in town, everyone played it like Street Fighter because that's all they knew up til then. So there's this 15 year old kid playing Wolverine and Spiderman and just dominating with flashy looking combos and everyone was impressed. Took a break to prepare for exams and by the time I got back everyone was that much better than me

[@randymaramot3076]

The one thing that I love MVC is EVERYTHING. The presentation, the iconic fighters in a small roster, the supporting cast, the BGMs, and that Duo Team Attack that is so iconic you see 2 half-faces linked up as one, you get hyped up. Since that game was released on January '98, it holds up pretty well for more than 2 years until MVC2 shows up in the arcades. Even if I'm a late bloomer back then, it was so fun playing it.

[@BigDaddyCola]

Such a great game. I actually prefer it to mvc2 since it wasnt as bombarded with screen chaos. This game was insanely easy in arcades up to onslaught. Wish the later installments had that classic music and background art.

[@johnsonle9440]

[@MrHeitorSouza]

I remember seeing the MvC1 cabinet as kid on an arcade and thinking that the game was the coolest ever. The really high jumps, the characters, colorful stages, etc.

I really miss arcades in my city (Aguascalientes, Mexico). There was always people playing KoF or Metal Slug and it was awesome. Nowadays, there's only 3 arcade centers in the state and they are EMPTY. Not even flies drop by, lol.

[@HeyItsMarteeen]

I can’t wait for the Triple KO podcast about MvC 😩 always love your MvC videos dood

[@LandofBrickForests]

I remember when i first saw MvC, MvC2 and CvS, it was during the dreamcast era, there was this public access channel back then called "MNN" it was named "the youtube before youtube." A channel where you rent broadcasting time for whatever content you made for people to watch. There were a few guys whose content was based around anime and games- one had footage of jin fighting spiderman and i was so hyped up man- i was mad loud with excitement. When they eventually came out, me and my bros bought them for the dreamcast and played the hell out all of them. Very good times and golden moments made for me around that era. 😊

[@AliFOJ5]

This game for me is the most iconic Capcom game ever. I loved everything about it as a kid and played the shet out of it. Its music is also so iconic and the stages. The character roaster was perfect even if it was small. I will never understand why they've not remastered this game and released it. Also MVC2.

[@manny7369]

This game was my intro to fighting games. I would use my bus money to play this game. Once I was done I would have to run up a hill and explain to my parent why I was late, it was always the bus fault.

[@adrianhendricks772]

12:37 _Holy synchronization, dude!!_ That double victory pose, yo! 🤩 As for my fighting game history... When I was a kid in the San Diego County area, there was a convenience store with a _Street Fighter II_ arcade near the apartments I lived in. Seeing the bloodied forms of the losing characters actually *scared me off of videogames for a good few years...* I would eventually recover by playing puzzle and sports games like _Tetris Attack_ and _Mario Golf/Tennis._ Then as a pre-teen, _X-Men: Children of the Atom_ caught my interest. Later, _X-Men vs. Street Fighter_ had my attention. And when _Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Superheroes_ landed, *it had my complete affection!* I became a full-fledged fighting game fan ever since. 😁

[@saltyazteca5989]

MvC1 among other fighting games were the rite of passage in my school. All the older students would be playing against the new ones, and bodying them left and right. It was one of the biggest hurdles we had to get over, and it was probably one of the best memories i've ever had as a kid.

I really like the Onslaughr Saga in comics. For years, my favorite villain.

[@KenMasters.]

Too bad there is no X-Men Legends 3, Onslaught would be a great final boss.

[@rachelespiritu4215]

I have pretty much the same story as Max, this is the game that made me. I was that plucky 14 year old kid, playing either Strider-Jin or double Chun-Li, that kept going at it and getting my ass kicked, until this one older guy (maybe 21 or 22) took me under his wing and taught me more complex combos and basic strategy. By the time MvC2 came around, I was one of the best at my arcade and had moved up to getting my ass kicked by guys with an actual reputation like Viscant and Dasrik. And honestly, THIS is why the FGC has always been the most social and most diverse gaming scene- playing Marvel at home wasn't really an option, so the only way to get better was by diving into the scene and making friends.

[@pablotoledo9624]

When i was a teenager there was a food place in my neighborhood that had several arcade machines .this was my portal to marvel vs capcom and the king of fighters games.when i entered the local and saw rockman fighting againts spiderman (two of my favourite characers in the world) whit anime style sprites i lost my shit .i was amazed and quickly began to spent entire days there .in my home everyone knew where i been all day cause i always came home smeling like fried potatoes or chicken . It definetly is the best vs game of the whole saga .also bengus did his best work ilustrating this game art Also here in Argentina kof 98 and 2002 were the shit .those arcades were allways full of people waiting to play

[@graefx]

Holy shit that jungle jive story hit me in my soul. I did the same thing. I couldn't tell you want games I played with those tokens but I loved getting them tokens. If you hung around that machine enough, the odd token would fall down and cause a cascade and you could get a free dollar from just right place right time.

[@SAPProd]

When X-Men Vs Street Fighter came out, I was so hyped and couldn’t believe Capcom couldn’t top it, and MSHvSF seemed to confirm that since it simply traded the roster, keeping the backgrounds, and felt like an expected half-step. Marvel Vs Capcom, however, was mind-blowing. Seeing characters other than Street Fighter really opened up my world. Mega Man…a fighter? (Never knew of Power Battles before then) Strider?? CAPTAIN COMMANDO IS ACTUALLY REAL?!?! Having Roll as a secret character was really fun. However, most important: this game was the first time I played a Darkstalkers character and the experience was so fun, it made me finally try out Darkstalkers on its own (before I only ever watched the machine). This was the first time I was playing a Capcom fighter that wasn’t Street Fighter or Marvel and it blew up my fighting game output (perfect timing as I went to college soon after MVC released). And this is why it’s important to allow more fighting games to be out and playable, to encourage players to seek out the games that the fighters originate, not merely be asset dumps! Cameos are fine but if you don’t have access to the games then the reference is lost. Really, I owe MVC a lot to branching out my fighting game purview and I wouldn’t care about Capcom fighters as much as I do without it!

[@donah4496]

Yep I love this game. I actually share some similar experiences, but the BIG thing for me about this game is that I got to know a lot of these cool characters (like, venom, strider, gambit, etc) even tho I wasn't good playing this back then. Also Captain America's theme for me is the OFICIAL main theme of MVC 1

[@Johjibebop]

I love how I was just watching old MvC 1 videos and some of Max old stuff about MvC and Max comes out with his new MvC video.

[@IndecentHype]

I worked at a movie theater in my early 20s as a manager and we had this game in the arcade. I played on my breaks. When I got off and closed and stayed a few hours to play. When I saw a movie. It ran on tokens. Which we provided. I wasn't good at all. But as a huge fan of these characters growing up and how awesome it was, I just loved playing. I got another job and heard through old coworker friends that the general manager was selling it. I made a deal and a week later I went to get it and it was gone. He sold it to another business for more. Whatever.

I love this game Reminds me of the Laundromats and Swap Meets here in LA lol

[@zero28ism]

MvC1 surely holds a special place in my heart, because it was one of my personal favourite picks to play when I went to the arcade, and mainly because spiderman and megaman were in the game. It's funny, because that was around 2005/6 when I was 5-6 years old, and even though arcades were pretty much dead, this only arcade had a floor dedicated to shooters, racing games and prize machines, and a floor dedicated to old arcade games (I remember there were like 4 different kof machines as well as a couple of mortal kombats). But so far the coolest thing was that all the machines were the Sega Astrocity (I believe thats the name) machines, and they actually felt good to play, not like the cheap machines that you could find somewhere else. Fucking love this game even though I really suck at it lol

[@Ai_M3talloidX7]

DEAR GOD. That thumbnail art. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 This was one of the first out of many fighting games, aside from the Street Fighter series and Pocket Fighter, Power Stone, Rival Schools, as well as various titles from other companies, that I'd watch my brother play through as a young lad... and yet I've only learned how to fireball. I just love seeing sprites at work, especially the backgrounds IF they're destructible. I had never been to a videogame arcade at that time but had seen single arcade cabinets here and there visiting my dad in the US and funny enough saw an Alpha 2 cabinet at a pizza place I frequented in the 2010s. There were so many good games out there to see but MAHVEL 1 always stood out to me.

Haha, exactly the same for me including the Gambit/Strider part, except I did start doing this with X-men vs SF (so Gambit/Wolverine). We also had a token-pushing machine and I used that any chance I got lol. My goals were simple: hit someone with Royal Flush and hit them with Ragnarok. I remember being a kid and someone behind me saying "he's got timing!!" when I hit my older brother with a random Berserker Barrage X super and I never let him forget it lol.

[@shin-gokusatsu645]

I love MVC 1 especially when I first played it on my uncle's Dreamcast. Only time I played it on a arcade machine was once at a local movie theater. I still remember it like yesterday, This 1 guy was whooping people still on the same quarters with his team of Wolverine & Strider. I was next to play so I popped my quarters in dude looked & took me as a chump since I was 8 at the time point is I ended that man's whole career with Ryu/MegaMan untill I had to go & watch some movie. Man I wish I had my own Dreamcast back in those days that was a fighting game I literally wanted to get good at.

[@SabreMau]

Somewhere around 1999, the MvC1 cabinet was standing up at the front of the Tilt by the food court at the mall here, and I got my best-ever fighting game win streak there, taking Chun-Li and Jin to 34 wins in a row. Something like an hour's worth of gameplay on 50 cents. And then sixteen years later the mall gets new owners and they drive the Tilt out by insisting on placing their own arcade games all around the mall.

[@Cirrimus]

In my local arcade, we used to jokingly call strider's bomb the wolverine defense. Because it would shut down a solo wolverine so hard. It forced him to play patient because wolvie couldn't do any damage worth face tanking the bomb in the time it two it took to summon it.

[@Ryusuta]

This game is truly one of a kind. An all-time great. On a related note, I actually genuinely loved Roll in MvC1. It is utterly baffling to me that they decided she of all characters needed to be so heavily nerfed in MvC2. If 2 had 1's version of Roll, I would legitimately use her in it.

[@KenMasters.]

MvC1 to me had the most lacking roster in the entire series. Other than Roll, even the hidden characters were unimpressive. Where was thee Ken Masters, Iron Man and U.S. Agent? I don’t want orange versions of Hulk and Venom. Also I wanted Guile to be on the roster (instead of Chun-Li), with Shadow and Shadow Lady as hidden fighters. And Guile's plot in MvC1 centering on him teaming up with Captain America and trying to unbrainwash both Nash and Chun-Li.

This was, and forever will, my favorite crossover of anything ever. That is coming from an absolute casual player as well. I love this game, I like it more than the Super Smash Bros. franchise. It has that cool nineties Jim Lee mixed with anime art style, and both companies threw they're most popular characters into the roster. It really is the greatest crossover ever.

[@B0StheB0S]

Very cool game indeed. Back then when I was playing arcade machines, I was mainly playing Metal Slug machines and a few times SF. Years later I finally played MvC and boy so good! I was mainly a Spider-Man/Wolverine guy and was trying to play better with Megaman, but failing. Hopefully they release all the MvCs in a collection (at least 1, 2, 3 and maybe a few other like Marvel Heroes and etc.). I would buy that shit so much, even if I am more of a offline player.

Best Character Select Theme (said it before, will say it again)!!

[@SAPProd]

Onslaught’s character concept was a great idea: Professor X corrupted by Magneto’s mind after wiping it due to the events of Fatal Attractions (sending a global EM pulse to shut down all machines, ripping out Wolverine’s Adamantium) and looking to attack the world for mutant persecution. However, what took him down to Ultra-lame was his story arc being used to shuffle the Avengers off into the whole Heroes Reborn debacle, a huge mistake that really harmed Marvel’s reputation (along with the bankruptcy and other factors).
