[@devingiles6597]

Top Hat Gaming Man, you should explain the Streets of Rage Iceberg in a future video!

[@Iqzzy-KO]

Can you do a MK9 Iceberg vid please? :)

[@kingsleyogba531]

Ryu/Cyclops handshake is the most iconic video game collab artwork ever.

[@BIGNOSEPOPPA]

I totally agree. That was my computer screensaver for years.

[@justinholland6132]

If your discounting smash, yea

[@enriquepinero707]

The console Ken and his son are playing on; looks like a combination of the PlayStation and Sega Saturn. Awesome fourth wall nod indeed. Really wish we get a well done compilation of these games on current consoles (especially the Switch).

[@lionheartuchiha4677]

*Inserts coin* Announcer "X!" Me "...huh" *inserts several more coins* Announcer "X! X! X! X! X!" Love this game

[@3Rayfire]

I bought an imported XvSF for my Saturn from EB, it was the crown jewel of my video game collection for years.

[@djcactus]

Bit of a correction. The source for the art styles of the X-Men games would be based on the comics the shows were based on as opposed to the shows. It was their styles at the time

[@micksterminator3]

My jaw dropped when I first saw this at my local roller rink when I was a kid. Probably my favorite in the series due to nostalgia

[@BlackRengokuYT]

I love this game I was 5 at the time went to my first arcade in the 90s seeing cyclops and ryu shaking hands that made me fall in love with fighting games even more I was a fan of xmen and street fighter at the time cool you did a deep dive of one of my favorite fighting games

[@minechaftgamer288]

Not too long ago I believed one of these vids referred to a literal iceberg I'd somehow missed in game

[@alomonwo]

EGM was a great magazine

[@drewventura7]

We got one the most innovative fighting crossovers in history from a desperation act…AMAZING!!! Great video Top!!!!

[@mscottjohnson3424]

Love this game. I actually just bought it for the Saturn in order to get a 4MB RAM cart.

[@sunnymane]

So Capcom helped revitalize interest in the X-Men and the Marvel Brand! Cool vid Top Hat Sensei.

[@MC-zt3wb]

Revitalize? The X-Men brand was at its peak in the 90s. The X-Men carried marvel for almost 3 decades. Capcom didn’t help them revitalize, that would imply that the X-Men brand was on a bit of slump. Which at that time, is completely untrue. You notice how the first crossover game was X-Men vs Street Fighter and not Avengers vs Street Fighter. That’s because back then the Avengers were a “B” team compared to the X-Men. Avengers couldn’t touch the X-Men in book sales back then.

[@sunnymane]

@@MC-zt3wb Just going off what Top Hat said lol

[@KamisamanoOtaku]

X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse may not have been an arcade release, but it uses Street Fighter-style move inputs, so is it really that illsuited to those controls?

[@pietronaccarato675]

Funny little tidbit; when the X-men cartoon was re-run on UPN, the ending credits used footage from Japanese intro. Found it really bizarre.

[@luisreyes1963]

Glad that Arcade 1up made full sized arcade versions of those Marvel/Capcom fight games, in which X-Men vs Street Fighter is among them.

[@C-Murph]

Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter next?

[@okolo22000]

4:57 Technically, it’s actually the player that was active who defeated Apocalypse will face off against their teammate as the final opponent (it’s not exactly the player’s choice.)

[@turbokiller]

I never knew the PS1 version was so "weak". Excellent video :D

[@ebesonen]

X-Men Vs. Street Fighter was an amazing arcade/home console game, it was the first time I saw Marvel and Capcom together, each side has there own rival character and I was very impressed by that, X-Men Vs. Street Fighter was a great fighting and thank you Top Hat Gaming Man for explaining it 👍

[@DeVstatrOmga]

The X-Men vs Street Fighter art still remains as top notch. The Marvel Super Heroes game cover on the PS1 had Joe Madureira art on it and blew my little mind back then.

[@liublanka3925]

I got the vs one up arcade. It’s pretty cool. How is it almost 2022 and capcom has given us nothing in the vs series? We don’t even have pocket fighter let alone marvel vs capcom 2 hd. It’s like dementia joe and his crack son are running our beloved franchise of all franchises

[@striderhanzo]

But chun-li alpha is in xmen vs sf. Hold start for 5 seconds while selecting chun-li. I think it has 3 colors as well.

[@AngelSeeker69]

Yes it’s the same with Street Fighter Alpha and Gold

[@AsamiyaMouchou]

Repeat after me: Le manège enchanté" XD DUDE! I'm following your channel since a while and i'm French (and old) so i grew up with Polux and his crew... And i can swear i never would have been able to guess, even in my wildest; sickest dreams; that you would come to mention this show... Ever, EVER! You'v intentotionaly made me VERY surprised here and it's a great one! XD Take care and keep up this awesome work you'r doing on YT, BRAVO! & MERCI! 😁

[@TopHatGamingManChannel]

I love it! Funnily enough I mentioned it in my first ever video I uploaded on this channel too as I swear the blue cat featured in the movie turning the world blue along with the character art style as a whole inspired the look and story of the Nintendo game Earthbound. But never heard another KZbinr mention it.

[@leandrotarsia7212]

How do I unlock this character Rai-oo?

[@thedeadpoolwhochuckles.6852]

choose Ryu and hit Up twice. the just say Rai oo

[@alvinbautista1450]

The true golden era of Marvel video games starts with 1996.

[@BIGNOSEPOPPA]

That's a fact.

[@zerocool1ist]

I never dreamed as a kid one day id actually be making these games.

[@Clos93]

What projects you've worked on? If you could let one know without breaking any NDA's...

[@BostonJoker87]

What was that?

[@cagvx]

elaborate

[@frenchy2047]

Proof r it’s cap

[@beedabop5797]

Quit blowing smoke

[@francesco55555]

For this specific amazing video, and the "mad history" ones globally I had the chance to enjoy, from the form and the pertinence perspectives, a deserved respecful thank you. I have never read/seen such an excellent analysis work at the service of gaming passion or comics and other cultural delights of our last 50 years.

[@steveb9713]

The Ken ending home console could’ve been Saturn style disc system with an extra ram pack

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Dude... please share your uploads list on your mainpage. Everything I need to search for you new video's on your page 🙄

[@JesusGarcia-Digem]

I first played this at a arcade back during middle school. Same spot where I use to buy my Marvel card packs! Fun times!!!

[@AshWilliams-v3e]

Actually Chun Li Aplha costume can be played on the original game but with a secret button combination

[@GuruRich]

Do xmvssf Version 1 still exist?

[@StrawberryJam1988]

wow I started to love this game after I watched previous X-Men VS Street Fighter video-history of X-Men VS Street Fighter by Top Hat Gaming Man

[@devingiles6597]

Hey, Top Hat Gaming Man! Can you please explain the Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter Iceberg?

[@rizeorfall]

I thought you had a bunch of hotdogs in your jacket pocket 😂😂😂😂

[@datbitchkeepingitreal6712]

Fans : How deep does it goes Cammy: Yes!

[@Ash_Rein]

I remember I was in high school and one of my classmates was telling me about this game. And I didn’t believe him. I thought he was making it up and playing with me. And then he told me to go to an arcade and see it for myself and I did and then I was mesmerized for something like 20 minutes before even putting in the $.50 to play it

[@chocolocojames213]

Only a legend and analyze this iceberg 😁😁😁

[@koby_mitchell]

Are you gonna do this the Darkstalkers Franchise

[@KasumiKenshirou]

And now the X-Men in the comics are isolationist villains who can make copies of themselves when they die. Also, Cyclops and Wolverine are suddenly gay lovers.

[@brittislove]

Top Hat, just how the heck do you do such efficient research???? Well done!

[@TopHatGamingManChannel]

Something like this alot of bullet points followed by a lot of ellobaration!

[@kcsnipes]

My job has this arcade 1up cabinet and I am obsessed

[@MalcolmTurnerKing]

13:00 🗣GET HIM OUTTA HERE! HE'S GOT AIIIIIIIDSSSSSSSSSsssssss! 🧛🏻‍♂️

[@MessengerOfEntertainment]

Rogue was technically my first fighting game character. I don’t like the game overall, but I do like how she plays.

[@JoeJoe2123]

3rd Strike iceberg next? It could use its own iceberg 😁

[@bruhat_patra]

My dad says Magneto has severe case of migraine that's why his head is always aching.

[@shinjoni]

I don't know why but I thought there was a literal iceberg where all these stages took place.

[@docsmith6314]

I like your video and thanks for the info I was a big fan of the Marvel vs Capcom fighting games series and it was call the vs series . the only game I didn't like was infinite I also have the Marvel vs Capcom arcade 1up cabinet !

[@OBZRV82]

X MEN vs. Street Fighter 3 Staring: Beast, Nightcrawler, Archangel, Sonspot, Cyborg. That would be dope as fuck.

[@TheCodeAlwaysWins]

Iconic game. Thank you for covering it.

[@cassiushuxley1230]

It is interesting that you mentioned that the PlayStation cannot handle sprites as well as I thought the Gundam fighting games were very clunky and lacked that depth I expected.

[@professordukenberry9071]

gambits sprite was in the snes game mutant apocalypse before X-men vs SF

[@joshoshea3194]

Great video mate :)

[@kingyamcha5289]

The game came out in Germany for the sega saturn when i was there.

[@NickelCityPixels]

The sprite work was not "inspired" by the animated series, whose animation was on par with that of a 5th grader's flip book. In fact, if you did a bit of research, you'd see that some of the larger images are one-to-one depictions from the comics.

[@Had0k3n2X]

Do the Super Turbo Iceberg

[@jeromethomas8857]

Need to put this on Apple Arcade

[@dtape]

That was great. Lots of interesting facts.

[@ericmikesell5252]

Things I wondered about capcom reusing sprites so much. Like why?

[@TetsuDeinonychus]

It takes a lot of work to draw and animate sprites. So, if they already had nice-looking sprites of a character, and they fit the game's art-style well-enough, they'd generally use them.

[@ericmikesell5252]

@@TetsuDeinonychus but they look washed out in alot of newer games or the only redraw afew and not all. It is alot a work but they are a big company not an indie outfit

[@Myrzghe]

Wait, so is the «I have a son man» Line from the Ken outtakes funny because it’s a very random line, or because it’s a deep cut?

[@steelcurtain187]

Never knew of the 16 bit versions of x men vs street fighter.

[@enriquepinero707]

I heard that the Japanese intro of the Xmen broadcast there; was animated by Capcom. Anything in your research confirm this?

[@tracyndiyob162]

happy 25th anniversary x men vs. street fighter!!! :3

[@IsaacKuo]

Ironically, some of the success of X-Men vs Streetfighter may be due to Sega or America dumping the Saturn prematurely. This caused Blockbuster Video to sell off all their Saturns at like $50. So, it was possible to get a Saturn AND X-Men vs Streetfighter for about $100, as well as a ton of Blockbuster Video used games for a song. What a steal! If X-Men vs Streetfighter had a normal USA release, with the Saturn still at full price, I don't think it would have inspired many Saturn sales. As it was, it was an irresistible "killer app".

[@HightopRob]

The Sega Saturn version of X-Men VS Street Fighter was arcade perfect Sega missed out on an amazing opportunity for the North American market I think the Sony Playstation version is trash 🗑 🗑 🚮 it lacks the capabilites of the Sega Saturn.

[@ThoughtformsOfTheSubconsciousM]

100% agree 👍

[@MrHoward123]

I’ve seen these “iceberg” videos on my timeline and never watched them because I thought it was about an actual iceberg in the game which I wasn’t interested in. If I knew this is what it was about I would have watched them along time ago. 😂😂😂

[@EddyGordo21]

15:27 you actually can select chunli in her alpha costume.

[@jhsrt985]

#FREEMVC2

[@Coffeemancer]

Wait has there been a move-stealing character in capcom games since Rogue (and before SF5 Seth)? As in stealing the move in-battle, not a cloned character or moveset

[@lxs077]

kens console looks like a saturn with expansion pack

[@cassiushuxley1230]

I never did defeat Magneto when I was a kid :'(

[@AshWilliams-v3e]

Rogue: Bye bye sugar

[@dashingkevs3295]

Is X-Men Vs sf more popular than marvel Vs sf?

[@BlueMageWithSoulEdge]

How is this different from a regular episode?

[@trainerredcharizard7982]

If only there Would be game like this done now.and not using unreal engine but with More cartoon art style and it having a bunch of marvel heroes old and new and street fighter heroes

[@3Rayfire]

Street Fighter III....all three. As much Street Fighter III as you can Big Daddy.

[@Nuggtendo]

More iceberg pleaz

[@thelonejedi538]

Your info on Marvel desperation/prostituting their assets makes me think of all those weird Archie/Punisher crossover comics from the era. This might explain a few things as to why it exists

[@PANTYEATR1]

Samurai Showdown!💪

[@stevenwhuntva]

2021 and people still say "Rai You"

[@mjschlosser]

This is amazing

[@mcbfilms22]

One interesting thing about Akuma in X-Men:COA is that he’s the worst character to play as in the game.

[@olschoolTonyCarter]

I have the snes version of this game

[@mechajintsu]

This was an awesome game

[@sneakyking]

I'll beat anyone as dalsim and gambit!

[@vod64]

I accept your challenge. I only need Charlie.

[@AlphaProto]

Another banger.

[@MasaCheez]

That's what she said 🤣

[@dtadeo2006]

I HATE when anime gets butchered in the west. Looks like Japan did it too in their country for X-MEN

[@vg4917]

ffvii berg

[@WilfredCthulu]

These videos are really full of info but I have to be honest they're poorly laid out. It's hard to tell when you actually start talking about the iceberg itself, what the entry is suppose to be at first, there's no overall look at whatever iceberg you're supposedly talking about, and just overall it makes absorbing what's going on really bad. You need to start each entry by announcing its title or at least showing it onscreen. Then acknowledge when you're going down a layer.

[@mangoman1073]

I’m trying to pay attention but all I can hear is the gallons of saliva splashing out as you talk 😰

[@TopHatGamingManChannel]

I have received millions of comments in the past, but this is the first time I have seen such shade thrown my way. Creative trolling, top work!

[@KevinRodriguez-cm7uh]

That big daddy top hat thing is cringe. Just say top hat.
