I got a Dream Cast around 2000. I had Marvel vs Capcom and I had all my mates round after school to play it. It was amazing! A few months later my house got broken into. I had Shenmu. 20 years later I'd like to track down whom ever did it and preform a fatality.

[@Clos93]

Buy a cheap Dreamcast (make sure is says 0, or 1 on the bottom) and buy a GDemu off of eBay. It allows you to play games of a SD card. Average about 60 bucks, about the price for modern triple a released game. No soldering required. Just open up the console, snap off the disc drive, and snap the GDemu in it's place.

1:21:06 "The music is subjectively awful, and features a jazz soundtrack, ill-fitting of any fighting game." Skullgirls would like to have a word with you. Jazz and Big Band inspired tracks can work really well in a fighting game, if the people in charge put some serious effort in. (I have not heard the soundtrack for that Marvel vs Capcom game, but it's worth pointing out regardless.)

[@ninjutsuninja5035]

I loved X-Men Vs Street Fighter and Marvel Vs Capcom 1. Cause of how awesome these games are, I accepted the fact that the Supers were easier to pull off then other Street Fighters. Capcom releasing simple controls continually after taking the time to master the inputs made me feel like I wasn't playing Street Fighter, then moving on to Capcom Vs Snk 2. I fully agree with you TopHatGM. There should have been a hardcore mode with six button controls, the Character design going down hill, the X-Men missing along with the stupid excuses, Capcoms greed by releasing the same Street Fighter over and over with little added content. Matter of fact, I agree with everything you say in your videos I've watched and I'm not trying too. Iv'e also learnt a lot from you about my favourite games.

Had Marvel Vs Capcom 2 been a Playstation 2 launch title; I assure you that game would've sold like hotcakes. I can't really understand how Capcom came to the conclusion that nobody wanted to play SF3: Third Strike or Marvel Vs Capcom 2 when in reality it's because they were released on console that was performing poorly in its 2nd year and it was pretty difficult to find copies of games like MvsC2. I got a Dreamcast for Christmas in 2000, and I could not for the life of me find Marvel Vs Capcom 2. I knew of only one other who owned it and I knew others wanted to play it in school as well, but either didn't have a Dreamcast (they got a PS2 though) or like me, couldn't find it.
