I know it's been said many times, but Justin's knowledge of all the nooks and crannies of specific match-ups and character interactions in this game is incredibly impressive. Such a great resource for the beginners and high-level players in the community.
I've been watching MVC2 team clock play (both the main himself, and other people using the team) ever since Preppy/zachd had a video archive site. Played it myself, consumed all the team specific tech videoes I could find, watched every tournament appearance of a team clock player religiously. Locdown is by far the best user of the team I've ever seen. His Sentinel is among the best of any sent player, considering he often has to play Sent V Sent with the other guy having Cyclops or Commando, and still comes out ahead more often than not. His Strider seamlessly implements tech that used to sound good on paper but was hard to implement in real matches, and his conversions off Doom assist hits into full combos are great. It's a lot of damage other team clock players usually forgo, in favor of going straight back into trap loops, which definitely isn't nearly as meter efficient When other players playing team clock have doom on point, they'll often run away with SJ finger lasers and switch back into sent/strider as fast as possible, but Locdown seems very comfortable having Doom point and will actively look for combos, which I find very ballsy The only thing he doesn't really do that I can think of is throw resets with Strider, but the rest of his gameplay is so sick I have to assume it's intentional. You're doing Clockw0rk proud, Locdown.
Yeah locdowns conversions with this team are truly something else. It's pretty easy to think that team clock's only wincon is strider doom chip but loc shows just how versatile this team can be.
I enjoyed watching Clockwork back in the day. I always rooted for him. With that said Locdown from my surface level knowledge and watching he makes great use of the zoo compared to what I have seen from other players.
at 4:55 justin's talking about how cable takes more blockstun than a lot of other characters but its actually a weirder mechanic called guard stiffness. When blockstun ends a character stays in the blocking animation for a variable amount of frames depending on the character, but this state can be interrupted by performing a special, super, jump, or superjump, but not by walking or dashing. iirc this post block guard stiffness state isn't throwable, which is why cable feels harder to tick throw as he has 25f of guard stiffness post block, where he can't be thrown but is able to jump/ superjump etc.
( 10:40 ) J Wong: MikeInfinite got cooked by this team [Dau]! the evidence: Part 1- ruclips.net/video/7-7suefXOTA/видео.html Part 2- ruclips.net/video/SA3HfOMJnEk/видео.html @IFCYipes in the background has me dying of laughter the whole time LOL
Probably my favorite thing about this is just the way jwongg commentates. I feel like every time I hear him speak he has something useful to say, or he just straight up smack talks sometimes. Just having him commentate is always a joy.
The fact that BB Hood can use her standing MK twice to chain into a triple team is super is insane. Ha ha. I was just commenting about the old school nuke squad... Ironman, Juggernaut and BB Hood then blame... someone showcases them in the vid.
Damn, so Locdown took out some of East Coast’s finest in SmoothViper, Mike Infinite, Josh360, and Gconceptz in the last two tournaments?! WOW!! West Coast stand up 🫡
These tournaments are so fun to watch with Justin commentating and several players using interesting teams with iron man, strider, juggernaught, etc. A lot more fun to root for the underdog in this game since MSP etc. are so strong
Idk I don't think they're aware that there are separate tournaments for mid-low tier. Complaining about people playing to win in a regular tournament is silly
@@belinskiparadox7687 Also spoiled by patch culture. Their minds can't comprehend that a 24 year old game has definitive tiers. Low tier tourneys can be fun but nothing compares to optimized top tiers going ham.
@@NapoleonSoulo There's some MaxDood video where he's explaining how broken the top tiers are and someone in the chat is immediately like, "hOw Do wE fIX tHiS?!" Max's reply: "This ain't that kind of game. You just deal with it because it's a beautiful thing."
The intricacies he knows about this game is insane and highly entertaining. He's like the equivalent of some Japanese master chef that's been cooking for 60 years, and even just watching him cut onions is amazing.
First Attack glitch. If you switch to your assist character when you start the match, and you hold down a button, they will attack during the first possible frame. Mega Man, Shuma-Gorath and Magneto have the fastest Light Punches in the game, so you'll almost always see teams with them use this. Magneto is top tier so get used to 2 Magnetos chest bumping each other at round start.
I played the ps2 Xbox live version more than the DC version I used to wonder why they used MAS sticks but it must be the buttons. I have missed so many dashes I start to contemplate life. Sanwa button dashes are hard unless I’m pushing the buttons so hard I think my knuckles are gonna crack.
I love MVC2 but thatJustin Wong is corny asf brah. Why is he everywhere on RUclips? Can someone recommend me a MVC2 channel without Justin and Maximilian, those guys are way to cringey.
@@IvanRevi I love Mahvel, I love mid/low tier and ratio fights, or hell, anything but the same 4-6 characters in an entire top 8 at highest level play. The idea that preferring varies and skilled play is hating Marvel 2 is kinda an absurd suggestion you know.
@@venlocity2those 4-6 characters actually make up a variety of teams with different play styles such as: MSP, Santhrax, team Matrix, MSS, team ROW, team Scrub, team Duc, Clockwork, Combofiend, Iron Man/Storm/Sent, DOOM-Thrax, Storm/Sent/Cable, etc There’s a lot of nuance in each combination of characters believe it or not.
@@polarbearswag7342 perhaps, but it's still not fun to watch in my opinion. And simply because my opinion differs from yours is no excuse to say I don't love the game. That's just highly disingenuous
@@venlocity2 I never said that about you but I could kinda see were your coming from. I say kinda because I can’t think of one single low-mid tier character on the roster that can do the things Magneto, Sentinel, Cable, and Storm can do. Gconceptz MSP and Locdown’s Clockwork are things of beauty! The limits to which these Pro’s can push these characters are amazing! Name some low-mid tier character that are more fun to watch than watching Magneto and Sentinel pull off their incredible combos!
The Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection games looks fun, but the game was rushed. And here is why: the game does not keep track of how many times you win and lose online matches and the game does not keep track of how many times you have beaten The Punisher beat'em up. The game only keeps track of your scores and rankings and nothing else. Capcom should get to work on an option via update patch that helps the game keep track of how many times you win and lose online matches and how many times you beat The Punisher beat'em up. Same goes for the Capcom Beat'Em UP Bundle and Capcom Fighting Collection compilation games and same goes for Capcom Arcade Stadium 1 and 2.
This video would have been way better if every fight wasn't exactly the same..... Magneto, storm, sentinel, cable, strider, psylocke, cyclops and doom. So many other characters to be used. Next tournament should have a ban on these listed characters so we can finally see something new... It is nice MvC2 is back but my god this was boring.
@@polarbearswag7342 yes, yes I did indeed. All you literally here is storm going Ho, Oh Ho! ho! HO, Oh! Again, if these are the only main characters people are going to play. Why even have the rest of the roster listed. So many possibilities and all we get are these select few.
@@koga7199 Damn, if you think Gcon and Loc are boring then maybe this ain’t the fighting game for you 🤷🏻♂️The players didn’t create this game, they just learned to play it at its highest level. What low tier players or low tier characters would you prefer watching, if you don’t mind me asking?

That B.B Hood makes me happy.

NEVER STOP DOING THESE 😭

Been playing bbhood since day 1 I got so many bb teams this is not the last you’ll see of her
Psst
*it's mahvel baby*
MVC2 ratio tourney would be killer as well... hope yall consider it

West Coast stand up 🫡
Justin looks good with the bleached look!
saving for this game atm, mvc2 is so iconic. i cant wait to jump in with my rusty buckets characters! lol
Damn everyone is so good this is gold

Lockdown the goat
Please keep adding MVC2 tourneys!! They are so good
Strider Doom Sentinel makes my arthritis act up
Cable is definitely the antivenom for BH. I learned to stop doing the super on cable when playing against a skilled cable.
Can’t wait to see the MVC2 warriors throw down at EVO next year!
Can we get Chris Matrix to commentate next time? Would be awesome.

Blackheart needs to be mashing that super for more chip damage/regular damage. I can tell he’s not in round one!
11:40 Wrong - Hulk chips on normals.
Can someone explain why they never pick their point character first? They always switch into them.

Another great tourney! Is it possible you can sometimes hold the tourney on a Saturday? To get some of the other players with a different schedule
43:50 - that is all
luv marvel 2

why is MVC2 so enjoyable to watch even though I don't play it?
Fast paced, combo oriented, but still has some defensive tools. High level play is like a work of art.
