*_I get very nostalgic about MvC. I remember hearing the music for the character select menu as soon as I walked in the arcade. It was so loud, you could hear it over everything and there was a crowd around it. 1st fight I saw the guy was using Captain Commando so CAPTAIN FIYAA, CAPTAIN FIYAA got burned in my memory, oh and Jin's BLODIAAAAA!!! MvC2 is my favorite but MvC has a very special place in my heart._*
I got into a car accident on Monday, doctor said no work, and to relax. I've spent this unexpected free time watching and treat h alot of your videos, thank you my top hatted friend, great content as always!
@Top Hat Gaming Man, screw that. Marvel vs Capcom 1 is the best game to play on fightcade/ggpo online besides 3rd strike. Now only if Marvel vs. capcom 2 was available on fightcade we'd play that instead!
@@deciduous_reaper Spidey was also part of War of the Gems (a SNES game) based on the Infinity Gauntlet saga in the comics. Not long after Marvel Super Heroes vs SF. He has been part of the series for a long time.
@@kadosho02 Sadly, no it isn't, it's instead some nobody that has no other roles...only the X-Men keep their voices from the 90s toon (most of em anyway) I do wish they could get his voice from Unlimited and the Neversoft games as they did in Mutant Academy 2.
You missed out on a few things. Ryu was basically Ryu/Ken/akuma. You also missed out on sliver zangief golden war machine. And I believe another palette swap of morrigan.
I remember seeing this arcade machine at a local grocery store and being amazed by it. I hardly ever played it though because the older kids were always playing.
It's a great game, but the most ambitious cross-over games will always be the Capcom v SNK, where you aren't just combining different characters, but completely different philosophies on how fighting games are played.
Speaking of Darkstalkers, would you consider a history of that franchise? The whole world seems to go daft for Morrigan, but I've always been a Hsien-Ko man myself!
I love this 😂 I grew up with this game on ps1 🤷🏾♂️ but I loved this game none the less, I ended up downloading an emulator to play this on my pc because I was feeling nostalgic, this game still holds up today. LETS GO CRAZY!
I had the ps1 version of this when I was a kid, played the hell out of it. I then got MvC2 for dreamcast and wow was I a happy kid then. Love these games.
I played this game at Cedar Point, it's so much fun. I love the artstyle as it uses the classic Marvel and Capcom designs for the characters which gives it this unique charm. It's also really fast paced and just overall a good time. My team is usually Spider-Man and either Ryu or Captain America
Marvel Vs Capcom forever will be my favorite fighting game. I still remember when I went to the arcade and for the first time witness a certain character with the most badass design to ever grace human history.
@9:30 -- The assists are not randomly allocated to each player. Any player has a choice of their assists if they know the assists code with the joystick/buttons.
Captain America’s Hyper Charging Star is a perfect against Onslaught 2nd form when he claw swipes at you, I kid you not, you plow through him. So is Ryu’s (Akuma Mode) super air fireball when you’re right above onslaught. 😎
happy 22nd anniversary marvel vs. capcom!!! :3 my favorite one in the series as i loved it and x-men vs. street fighter so much at the car wash arcade(and when i got it,sa1/sa2 & mvc2 on the dreamcast.) as a kid.
False. They have different normals and Iron man doesn't have the super War Destroyer. To trade off: Iron Man's 'Sunday best' Proton Cannon is much faster. They're basically Iron Ryu / Ken
I thought cyber Akuma was a million times harder then onslaught. I was surprised when you didn’t mention the difficulty of him in the X-men vs street fighter video
I didn't own a dreamcast (too poor) so I didn't have a choice but it was still a good port for me, I love the game (I still own it) and still continue to have fun.
Due to the amount of recycling between X-Men vs. Street Fighter and Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, I wouldn't be surprised if the latter was developed by an skeleton crew while most of the staff were working on Marvel vs. Capcom.
Capcom vs Tatsunuko is very rare and would fit great into the theme of this channel. There is so much history. PlayStation has a Tatsunuko game that is very rare that led to CVT. That game had actual clips from the 60's and 70's anime. Casshan also has had several anime series and a movie. Casshan is also the "grandaddy" of Mega Man. CVT is a very very rare gem. The more you peel back the layers on what I am saying you will see it is the perfect game to dissect on this channel. Please please consider.
Something about MVC 1 entices me. Maybe it’s the fact that it adheres to the six button layout versus the more simplified button layout of future entries, giving it more of SF feel. MVC 2 is still my favorite, but the first entry is gorgeous, most of the sprites are new, the backgrounds are better, and it just oozes with the nineties arcade panache that makes Capcom’s mid nineties fighters so nostalgic.
Interesting! I never knew about the guest assist characters including Darkstalkers characters before. I see Hsien-kp in the footage there, did Felicia ever appear in any of these titles? Might pick one up. ............ and gorgeous thumbnail as always man ❤️
This is my favorite game in the franchise. I know not as balanced as x-men vs street fighter or MvsC 2. But this one I love because of the nostalgia. The music and art style just hits home for me. I spent so many quarters and hours at the pizzeria by my apartment that had this arcade machine with my friends.
Kinda bummed how he never mentioned Ken & Akuma were now part of Ryu. You could use 1 bar of the Super Meter and Ryu's gi would change to Ken or Akuma's gi color. He would then play as either of those two. That blew me away when I first played it.
For those who weren’t around, seeing this game in the arcades for the first was literally mind blowing. Super hero games (marvel specifically) weren’t that great at the time but Street Fighter was still a staple game so to see them together was out of this world
I had the PlayStation version of this game, & I could definitely utilize both characters & tag team functions as well & the soundtrack & gaming background was still amazing even when compared to the arcade version. Perhaps another one came out at a later time?
Love these kind of videos, keep it up. Also, I could be wrong but I swear hearing you speak about how you missed out on one of the mega man X games as a kid in an older video?
THGM, I encourage you to look in the sound test menu of this arcade game. There are voice samples of the announcer pronouncing some of the characters' names differently for different regions. (IIRC, there were different pronunciations Chun-Li and Zangief.)
0:25 love this artwork so much I have a t-shirt of it. It's not just how cool it is to have all those characters together, it's like a symbol of titans of usa and asia entertainment clashing. East meets west.
I'm surprised that we don't have a Marvel vs. Capcom collection for PS4 & Switch that includes: - X-Men vs. Street Fighter - Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter - Marvel vs. Capcom - Marvel vs. Capcom 2
I don't have either of the aforementioned Saturn games, but since this one lets me tag team Gambit AND Hulk, I'm good. Please, do the next one and mention Marrow. She's such a lovable little troll with no fucks to give.
This game had about the best presentation of all of them. I wish Marvel 2 hadn't gone with the 3d backgrounds and just built up on this great hand drawn visuals. I also almost dare say the series final bosses peaked here. Like no offence to Abyss and Ultron Omega but Onslaught was just great. Like the lines that were kinda corny in the comics "I reject your presence!" Were just cool, AND it didn't end with Ryu being drawn by Rob Liefeld so...👍 The bad thing about the boss it he's near impossible with certain characters so if you wanna see Zangief's ending...better come with a plan. I also admit that the music here is better than Marvel 2. I know it's by the same composer and all and I unironically liked the jazzy MVC2 tunes but... Gimme MVCs Chiptune sound anyday.
The original capcom music style was for each character to have it's own unique theme. This changed in mvc2 due to hardware restrictions, saving space, and of course meeting a deadline. I doubt 56 characters' unique themes would be possible to port to anything, maybe even today. 56 unique backgrounds would be something else entirely....
How do you get to that screen where you can watch all of the guest characters animations. Is it something only on the ps1 version? I have the Dreamcast

Thank you sir, rest, relaxation, medication, and informative retro Gaming videos from you. I think we'll be fine in the long run!
Ouch man :( yeah hope recovery goes well!
No one cares about your accident.

Heck yeah! I 3rd that! Been waiting almost 30 years! They need to crossover again before snk goes bankrupt!
Spidermans ultimate web throw debuted here. That was my favorite special attack back then. ❤
Plus the wild part = same voice actor from the early 90's animated series 🕷️🕸️
I honestly loved Spiderman in the MvC series since he is my favorite Marvel Hero

Wasn't akuma a secret character in this game to
@@princemwamba5230 no
No. Ken and Akuma are assent in this game, so they gave Ryu a unique move called mode change
@@MVC2fan1 I swear I've seen him in the game as a secret character
That was Shadow

It's a great game, but the most ambitious cross-over games will always be the Capcom v SNK, where you aren't just combining different characters, but completely different philosophies on how fighting games are played.
This game takes me back when you would go after school and hangout with friends and play MvC daily for almost 2 years at the arcade or comic book shop
It was video rental ships for us
Oh yeah and the pizza joint
Mega Man is one of my childhood heroes☝🏾
I love how they split the faces when u do a team up attack✊🏾
Speaking of Darkstalkers, would you consider a history of that franchise? The whole world seems to go daft for Morrigan, but I've always been a Hsien-Ko man myself!
Brings back memories of mixed CDs, arcades, and fat TVs. 😁
CAPTAIN FIYA!!!
CAPTAIN FIYA!!!
CAPTAIN FIYA!!!
CAPTAIN SWOOOOOORDO!!!
this game that you can change ryu into ken and ken into akuma is awesome.
In my Thomas Wayne Batman voice: The UK missed the video game crash? Must be paradise
Thanks again for covering this series - some of the best games ever made imo.
Will you do the Cspcom and SNK crossovers when you're finished with the Marvel vs Capcom series?
If people keep watching these, absolutely!
I second this request. Fighting games are my favorite genre and the SNK/Capcom games were pivotal titles to my collection.
Also Snk vs capcom, that was a good one
Third
Most likely.
Played arcade cabinet back when I was a kid. It blows me with it's overwhelming awesomeness back then and it still is right now. Such a great game.
*LET'S GO CRAZY!*

Subscribed immediately after I watched your x-men vs street fighter last week & have been anticipating this! keep up the good work!
They should have Top Hat Gaming Man vs. Game Sack: Clash of Super Retro's
Sadly Game Sack only contains one sac nowadays.
Me sad.
“Red Venom” was intended to be Carnage.
The Dreamcast version was amazing! 🤩
Fantastic Video!
More 90s and more about Dreamcast + the PSX
I played this game at Cedar Point, it's so much fun. I love the artstyle as it uses the classic Marvel and Capcom designs for the characters which gives it this unique charm. It's also really fast paced and just overall a good time. My team is usually Spider-Man and either Ryu or Captain America
I miss Cedar Point so much! Grew up in MI, and it was always THE summer trip. Now I'm not even in the U.S. =/
Marvel Vs Capcom forever will be my favorite fighting game. I still remember when I went to the arcade and for the first time witness a certain character with the most badass design to ever grace human history.
Morrigan?
3:10 always gave me chills. MvC was and still probably my fave fighters of the 90's.
CAPCOM VS SNK 2 NEXT PLEASE :)
THE GAMEPLAY AND MUSIC 👌
minzy421 he’s going in order...I’m assuming it will come thou....I hope
This is true love we're makin' should just play through 90% of that video
@@Gamersgoinblind looks like someone has interrupted the tournament. fight with the wind is a awesome music too
you can also play as the final boss. i also like how Megaman learned onslaught's special when beating the game.
@9:30 -- The assists are not randomly allocated to each player. Any player has a choice of their assists if they know the assists code with the joystick/buttons.
Captain America’s Hyper Charging Star is a perfect against Onslaught 2nd form when he claw swipes at you, I kid you not, you plow through him.
So is Ryu’s (Akuma Mode) super air fireball when you’re right above onslaught. 😎
This right here is my FAVORITE Street Fighter Crossover game EVER! ♡♡♡LOVE♡♡♡ IT!
I remember importing the soundtrack to this game. Love the soundtrack so much.
happy 22nd anniversary marvel vs. capcom!!! :3
my favorite one in the series as i loved it and x-men vs. street fighter so much at the car wash arcade(and when i got it,sa1/sa2 & mvc2 on the dreamcast.) as a kid.
I'll loving this series, keep up the good work. Also another Venom fan, yay.
An amazing review!
Yyyeeeeaaasssss!!! loving your videos man
This is good stuff, bringing back so many memories when I used to play these games at arcade before and after school. Keep it up
7:18-7:20 Tophat gaming man trying to make my heart pump and thump
Fun fact: War Machine IS a palette swap of Iron Man because War Machine and Iron Man have the exact same move-set in Marvel vs Capcom 2.
that is some fun fact about mvc2
They have the same movesets but War Machine was changed from the 1st game to the 2nd game. His cannons were changed from beams to missles.
False. They have different normals and Iron man doesn't have the super War Destroyer. To trade off: Iron Man's 'Sunday best' Proton Cannon is much faster. They're basically Iron Ryu / Ken
everyone already knew he was a palette swap before MVC2
I thought cyber Akuma was a million times harder then onslaught. I was surprised when you didn’t mention the difficulty of him in the X-men vs street fighter video
Cyber Akuma wasn't in XvSF =P It was XvMSH
Of all the bosses, I agree, he was the toughest. Onslaught's AI was easy to bait.
Cyber Akuma was super cheap. Once you figure out Slaughts pattern then he is fairly easy
Loving these videos, I'll be playing this game this eve with a few beers I reckon.
I love MVC1 and your video 😍
Great choice of themes for this video, Spiderman and Wolverines are both bangers
Fingers crossed for ayutaya iseki in capcom vs SNK video soon?
Hold on playa, it’s time for a 6 man tag team match!
10:34 And I thought I just sucked at fighting against him.
man I'm thankful to still own all my childhood game's still great video.
These games were my childhood in the arcades. It will never be the same.
Same here man, we know!
I love your VS videos, mate! Nice work. Please don't stop...I'm ready for Capcom vs SNK & Darkstalkers 3
Brilliant !! Thank you. perfect informative video
You need to do a video on Project Justice AKA rival schools
We got SO close to getting it for the Saturn. Would have loved to see that version as well.
You actually did it! Amazing!!!
Top hat gaming man, please "take me for a ride" into a Marvel vs Capcom 2 video please!!!!
Please do follow up on the Marvel vs. Capcom 2 video. I had so much childhood memories from that game on the Sega Dreamcast.
Mega Man games always got good reviews in UK magazines like C&VG and Mean Machines, I got Mega Man 3 for NES when it came out around 1992.
I used to save so many quarters to play street fighter vs X-Men in pizza hut. Such great memories.
I didn't own a dreamcast (too poor) so I didn't have a choice but it was still a good port for me, I love the game (I still own it) and still continue to have fun.
Due to the amount of recycling between X-Men vs. Street Fighter and Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, I wouldn't be surprised if the latter was developed by an skeleton crew while most of the staff were working on Marvel vs. Capcom.
Street fighter VS Mortal Kombat would be insane plus would sell like crazy.
Nothing more ambitious than the goat, MvC2
7:19 Damn Succubus! - Is that a reference to something? :D
South Park!
@@TopHatGamingManChannel Ah I forgot that bit, just found it funny when you voice changed :D
@@LyingSecret Up until recently, I commonly mistook her for a vampire....
@@sammyyo461 I mistook her for a big titty bitch, but she is, so I'm not too worried, then I relaxed with a sandwich.
Street fighter 4 series which changed the fighting game genre again forever. Also street fighter X Tekkken could be interesting

After MvC2, I would like to see you cover some of the other "Capcom Vs." series, such as Capcom Vs. SNK and Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom.
Anyone still play Tatsunoko vs. Capcom?
When I 1st brought my Sega Dreamcast I played this game everyday!!!
An xcellent purchase 😎🎉🎉🎉🎉
Just wild what that system was capable of

You are milking this
But I love it !
Loved playing this back when pizza hut had restaurants
What about Tatsunoko vs Capcom, now that’s a beast!
Also, it’s pronounced ‘Ree-yu’ not ‘Ryu’
Please do MVC 2! That's literally THE BEST 'bit game of the 90's-00's!
I had the PlayStation version of this game, & I could definitely utilize both characters & tag team functions as well & the soundtrack & gaming background was still amazing even when compared to the arcade version. Perhaps another one came out at a later time?

Mind your manners when you see Morrigan. 😅

I had all the Megaman X games released in the UK. I got Megaman X3 from Germany a few years ago!
best 2d fighting game ever!
THGM, I encourage you to look in the sound test menu of this arcade game. There are voice samples of the announcer pronouncing some of the characters' names differently for different regions. (IIRC, there were different pronunciations Chun-Li and Zangief.)
0:25 love this artwork so much I have a t-shirt of it.
It's not just how cool it is to have all those characters together, it's like a symbol of titans of usa and asia entertainment clashing. East meets west.
I know it’s far fetched but I’d love a marvel vs Capcom game vs MegaMan and X both on the roster
Does Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite count?
Luis Reyes I don’t think infinite does from what I remeber it was X and Zero but no og mega man
You should really look into the Capcom vs. SNK series. especially CvsSNK2 and SVC Chaos
Yeeeeeaaaaahhhh
Great review keep up the great job
I'm surprised that we don't have a Marvel vs. Capcom collection for PS4 & Switch that includes:
- X-Men vs. Street Fighter
- Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter
- Marvel vs. Capcom
- Marvel vs. Capcom 2
Please do Capcom vs Tatsunuko

I also admit that the music here is better than Marvel 2. I know it's by the same composer and all and I unironically liked the jazzy MVC2 tunes but... Gimme MVCs Chiptune sound anyday.

Electronics Boutique.
I miss those stores
You know the arcade version never released in Europe around 98.
I thought cyperakuma was way way more difficult to beat than onslaught
if you continue with this series please don't forget about tatsunoko vs capcom. that's my favorite of them all.
How do you get to that screen where you can watch all of the guest characters animations. Is it something only on the ps1 version? I have the Dreamcast
