X-Men: Children of the Atom - Gameplay Guide

[@dealt]

I'm 42 and I first played this game at an arcade that was attached to my local cinema. In 1994 I was 11 or 12 (depending on the month), and had been playing FGs almost exclusively since SF2 came to consoles. Being a fan of anything Capcom or SNK, and also an X-Men fan made this a revelation. Picked Wolverine, and after a short while was challenged by someone. Can't remember their pick, but my basic FG know-how allowed me to pull off some wild combos. A small crowd gathered and a guy started commentating. "In Mid-Air!" he yelled as I connected with an Air Grab. I'll never forget it. It felt so awesome to pull off cool shit and win a match in front of people. And the nature of the 'Magic series' chain combo explains why it felt so easy to rack up these insane combos having never played the game before, but just utilizing what I learned from hours & hours of SF2 in all its forms. I never bothered to delve into the mechanics of the VS series because I never thought I'd ever get a chance to own these games. I couldnt afford the home ports or the consoles for which they were released back then. And prices have only risen in the decades since. Words can't begin to describe how happy I am for this MvC Collection. Thanks for the video!

It's always shocking to see how weird and different CoTa is even compared to Marvel Super Heroes. It's def rough around the edges, but it has a lot of charm to me either way, probably cause of how stiff and weird it is, lol.

Stiff and Swift Death, thanks to those absurd throw combos. Just, uh, don't ask me about doing any of that myself until after the MvC2 video 😅

I'll sub for a while to check if I'm intelligent enough to comprehend the advanced tutorials. I usually just farm specials and pray to hit the enemy with them 😅

While I really appreciate this video, its really held back by whatever mic is being used to capture your voice. Its very muffled and makes understanding you a bit difficult, I'm afraid.
