YOU GUYS WONT BELIEVE THIS IS THE HARDEST MARVEL ARCADE MODE

[@CarlitoProducer]

when you thought Magneto was buffed over the years, only to realize they've been attempting to nerf him since day 1 lol

[@Chadius]

Everyone lost attacks and animation frames when they left CotA. Sentinel is a different character altogether compared to his MvC2 version.

[@BuyMeThingsnow]

Pretty much everyone is. This game has so many weird mechanics and concepts that don't appear anywhere else: being able to super jump cancel almost every normal on block, the lack of magic-series and weird chaining rules in general, Wolverine having a weird tri-jump overhead by wiff-cancelling his instant dive kick, etc. MSH onward everything sorta plays by the same basic "rules" (magic series is usually prominent for most characters, can only super jump cancel on hit, one air action per jump outside of fs, one otg per combo, etc.), XCOTA is just its own insane beast.

[@thejuggernaut81]

Yeah they were quite.... generous in CotA with Psylock's walk animation.

[@RandoBox]

6:24 - you can tell your opponent is dizzy when their character card is spinning. It goes from yellow background to red, so you do not have to wait for dizzy animation before Hail Storm.

[@ReZistar]

I like how one jumping fierce from Colossus did more damage than Storm's hail storm lol

[@chrispham6599]

Balanced, as all things should be

[@Hotobu]

Hail storm was blocked though

[@Siefer323]

I think the hail storm does pretty decent chip damage.

"Bro, can you stop blocking?" Justin now knows how it feels to play against him, lol.

[@popularculturenostalgianmo9779]

MVC2 Magneto: God Tier, but broken as hell X-Men VS Street Fighter Magneto: Shin Magneto, should be banned like Shin Akuma is in CVS2. X-Men: CotA Magneto: Banned, just completely unfair.

Magneto is my all time favourite Marvel character so I never minded how broken he was in Children of The Atom. If anything, I kinda felt his brokenness really did justice to his comic book version because unlike most FG bosses, Magneto was really mobile and agile too. Although the irony is, all the other Marvel bosses that came after were relatively toned down and much easier to fight compared to Magneto despite being canonically far more powerful.

[@vzdwhyvdh]

The funny thing is that he's only playing this boss on normal (Level 4) and had this much trouble. It Justin played Magneto on the hardest difficulty (Level 8) he'll lose his mind because Magneto becomes a mad combo machine.

[@jakethescorp6599]

Magneto's a step down easier in the japanese version, along with the rest of the characters. I was able to beat him without continuing. The overseas versions, hell nah.

[@Arz2003]

True that. Only way I beat it all the way was with Iceman avalanche move cause I saw old people back in the day beating the arcade mode like that

[@shinsmoke]

@@Arz2003 Oh yeah, the good old avalanche cheese till meter's full, then arctic attack. Lather, rinse, and repeat, lol.

[@RamonOchoaMusic]

This was the game that started it all. I watched all the regulars at Sunnyvale Golfland realize they had to learn a new bag of tricks after getting crushed repeatedly. The versus games that followed upon this changed, improved, etc.However, at its core, COTA on the hardest setting is way more difficult than everything that followed.

Throwback game! I also main Storm in this game, and have been abusing the following: 1. Invincibility Dash (Avoids Full Screen Shockwave) 2. Lightning Attack + Typhoon in super jump mode.. runaway. Similar to dhalsim MVC2 runaway. Storm can never land in a match if you do this. 3. Storm can get away from dizzy by doing simply a Lightning attack. 4. That c.mp infinite and some other air combo to launch infinites lol 😁

[@alphago9397]

0:22 ; yo.... YOU'RE TRIPPIN'... COTA is one of the greatest fighting games of all time... OF ALL TIME. This game was so revolutionary back in the day; the graphics/animation look good even today, so back then it was completely mind-blowing. This game basically started the Marvel series.

Silver Samurai is actually good for playing lame. His shuriken deals insane chip damage.

Too bad it can be broken by something as small as a jab LOL

[@CullObsidianPlays626]

Children of The Atom in the Sega Saturn days...fml unbeatable 😂

[@jakal911]

The only way I beat this game was spamming Iceman's iceball attack. The CPU stops dead and just blocks the attack. You can chip damage the computer with relative ease this way. Works somewhat with Magneto too.

[@MFPLATYPUS]

I used to live by a comic shop that had this arcade cabinet. This game is a quarter muncher, but it's fun.

COTA was pretty jank. Hailstorm does like 25% on block, but it takes so long to start up that nobody's ever going to block it unless they were stunned 🤣 Sent was also pretty terrible, if I'm not mistaken, even with fly cancels.

[@stedru]

Hes actually pretty good

[@DoKDelta]

The only real BAD character was Samurai, Sentinel is a pretty popular pick online

I'm pretty sure I wasn't around thr strongest scene, so I'll take your word for it 🙂

​@@Ash__Adler Sentinel in this game is like dhalsim, all of his normals cam be modified by pressing a direction. MvC2 Sentinel has aeound 50% of the original moves and is NERFED compared to this one.

Finally another video that shows how tough Magneto in CotA is in normal mode. If you are to watch the other videos of people fighting Magneto you'd find that almost all of them show the player fighting the easiest mode of the game which shows imo that they are weak.

[@mcdamion]

I remember as a kid, I rented this game from my local Hollywood Video for PS1. I tried over an hour to beat Magneto, and got smoked every time. I raged turned it right off and complained to my moms until we returned it. Never touched it again…😂

[@randolphthomasii7040]

Huh. I never knew Hailstorm was a move in CotA! I always assumed it was standard in XvsSF, since I never saw any real Storm players in my neck of the woods. TIL... Edit: Also I LOVE the aesthetic of the UI for this game. Especially the life bar. There's something about a chunky bar with hits that immediately register damage and quickly go away for me. I hope they bring it back in some way in the future.

This version of magneto was the best because each room had different effects on his combos, and projectiles. U never played Children of the Atom? This is like the oldest sega saturn game. My big brother imported a copy from japan.

great job. Magneto is so god damn HARD! I'm pretty sure some characters just can't win against him (colossus...). Loved that game, but i didn't understand why they put a KOF boss in it :P

[@vahnsose]

This takes me back to my arcade rat days when barely anyone played this game cuz it was SO DAMN HARD. We talking bout first character the CPU random select got u sweating. And the air combo system was just ass. Greatly improved in Marvel Superheroes. The combo system was over jank. Too much damage off normals. Easiest way to beat this game and I found out literally about 3 or 4 yrs ago is to select Colossus and spam jumping HP

[@PainfullyCasual]

I hate this game for all of the coins used to play this. But I love it for the sickest Magneto intro.

[@elvistwatty]

EM pulse seems like the early version of magnetic tempest

[@HEHEHE_I_AM_A_MASKED_WARRIA]

You probably could've beaten him the second time if you'd used Hailstorm instead of Lightning Storm, as it does much more damage (though it has a really long startup, so you have to cancel into it immediately after the stun launch or else he'll probably block it). The input is QCF+Start.

[@carlosaugusto9821]

Really unpopular? Is there anyone that can deny that? The peak form of the series visual presentation and artistic quality (portraits, stages, etc) was Msh. (Topped by the MvC1 presentation only in the opening). Even in XvSf the stages are less defailed and interactive than in Msh and Cota. The standards for stages started actually dropping right in that game... then MvC2 was the lowest point.
