Captain Commando deserves to be in every Capcom versus game…i mean he literally has “Capcom” in his name
Exactly 💯
He would only be in a new MVC if he got a new game which will most likely never happen
I want him in sf6 as well
We need a Marvel vs Capcom collection.
If only Capcom and Marvel can agree on that, and perhaps EXCLUDE MVCI
There is arcade 1up arcade machine rereleases but hopefully they'll make a mvc collection for consoles and pc at some point
@@crislunaverellen6563 Nah, it should still Include Infinite even if it’s not the best MvC game (the gameplay is still pretty fun)
I agree!!
@@crislunaverellen6563 infinite is fun though
X-Men vs. Street Fighter was my first arcade addiction.
Same here
Yes it was 1997 or 1998 wow I'm so old lol
ME TOO OUR PIZZA PLACE HAD THIS CABINET ON A BIG SCREEN ARCADE IT WAS LOUDER THAN THE KIGOLD MACHINE
Me too
Same.
Marvel Vs Capcom holds a special place for me too, MVC 1 looks more polished than 2 imo.
100% i also really dig the condenced roster, plus obviously this was the one i played as a kid
Same
The character select screen alone is proof.
Honestly yeah Marvel 1 has that makes you a young kid see their favorite Capcom characters and Marvel Superheroes feeling and honestly it’s more Colorful.
I think it's a better game. Just wish it had a bigger roster.
6 minutes of talking about how special this game is to Max and it felt like there was a lot more to talk about
What I don’t get is why does he need to make a whole bunch of videos on the street fighter 6 teaser which was only 60 seconds what are u gonna talk about lol
@@subzero6191 Ryu’s toes obviously
@@subzero6191 Luke's ungodly gremlin grin.
@@ajakks6551 Luke just looks like jacked-up Ninja
its funny you post this right now Max. as I type this, my 9 year old daughter is playing MvC2 on my old PS2 for the first time and is getting good with rose, spider-man, and venom and she loves it. This is a game thats making her as shes been practicing combos for over an hour now.
Rose?
@@StriderVM Roll. autocorrect sucks lol
When you gonna teach her how to do a fuckin infinite?
@@ohmygahdbilly yes let her know the Infinite Spidey
@@sahyoeon3961 nah Tony stark knows what to do
I spent lots of time playing X-Men vs Street Fighter and Marvel vs Street Fighter. Knowing I was a huge fan of Mega Man, one of my friends told me "Capcom made a new one with Mega Man as a playable character." and I was blown away. Then I got to play this as Mega Man, and I was hooked for life!
What I love about this game is the fact that thanks to mvc 1 I started to watch Max's videos (the online warrior ones) and found an amazing person and community so thanks mavhel!
Same but with 3 instead.
2:34 "so here was my trick"
*Slams coins machine with hammer*
Not being able to just go out and read the X-Men comics when I was a kid, I learned of Onslaught from my little brother and him narrating what he had. Still remember getting the PS1 version of MVC and him flipping out when Onslaught showed up as the final boss. "It's Onslaught, and he's the final boss, and he's kicking your ass, and I'm sorry, but he looks really cool!," the Onslaught fanatic said. Liked seeing what the big bad could do in versus mode after I unlocked him though. Arcade version was fun at the Mall too back in the day.
MvC!! This is a masterpiece of a fighting game!
Gosh darn it, Capcom has to bloody make a VS series Collection set!!! TOO MANY of these games need to be brought back!!
MVC 2 is coming to Arcade 1up apparently so that collection probably ain’t happening now
Big Problem Called Disney.
Shenron: Your wish has been granted
@@trajanpowell8925 I KNOOOOOW!!! I went ballistic along side MAX when I saw that N DIRECT! The second the announcer said “we’re going to take you for a ride!”, NEURON ACTIVATION INITIATED!!!!
I Started my path with fighting games with Capcom vs SNK 2, man now I'm so happy that there is a new KOF game out there and a new Street Fighter game coming!! Fighting games are amazing..
Man the 2d art on older games just hit that spot that never goes away🔥
Such a great game. I actually prefer it to mvc2 since it wasnt as bombarded with screen chaos. This game was insanely easy in arcades up to onslaught. Wish the later installments had that classic music and background art.
My own MvC story. I had experience playing Marvel Superheroes in the neighbourhood bar, so when MvC made it to the larger arcade in town, everyone played it like Street Fighter because that's all they knew up til then. So there's this 15 year old kid playing Wolverine and Spiderman and just dominating with flashy looking combos and everyone was impressed. Took a break to prepare for exams and by the time I got back everyone was that much better than me
The one thing that I love MVC is EVERYTHING. The presentation, the iconic fighters in a small roster, the supporting cast, the BGMs, and that Duo Team Attack that is so iconic you see 2 half-faces linked up as one, you get hyped up. Since that game was released on January '98, it holds up pretty well for more than 2 years until MVC2 shows up in the arcades. Even if I'm a late bloomer back then, it was so fun playing it.
I remember seeing the MvC1 cabinet as kid on an arcade and thinking that the game was the coolest ever. The really high jumps, the characters, colorful stages, etc.
I really miss arcades in my city (Aguascalientes, Mexico).
There was always people playing KoF or Metal Slug and it was awesome.
Nowadays, there's only 3 arcade centers in the state and they are EMPTY. Not even flies drop by, lol.
Thumbnail artwork is straight up 🔥🔥
I remember seeing this for the first time at a laundromat I went to as a kid. As a comic book fan and a fan of street fighter this blew me away. My mains were Spider-Man and Wolverine and my other main was venom and Wolverine.
I know this is Max’s history in the fighting games that made him, but damn, the title for this video should’ve been the
“Fighting That Made US”.
MvC1 is a classic for most of us, and it deserves its place in the upper echelon of fighting games, period.
This game was my intro to fighting games. I would use my bus money to play this game. Once I was done I would have to run up a hill and explain to my parent why I was late, it was always the bus fault.
This game for me is the most iconic Capcom game ever. I loved everything about it as a kid and played the shet out of it. Its music is also so iconic and the stages. The character roaster was perfect even if it was small. I will never understand why they've not remastered this game and released it. Also MVC2.
Mvc is one of my favorite all time series of games and has been since day 1, mvc2 still remains to be my favorite fighting game to this day. The series was revolutionary and has had a huge impact on my childhood. Thank you Capcom.
I remember when i first saw MvC, MvC2 and CvS, it was during the dreamcast era, there was this public access channel back then called "MNN" it was named "the youtube before youtube." A channel where you rent broadcasting time for whatever content you made for people to watch. There were a few guys whose content was based around anime and games- one had footage of jin fighting spiderman and i was so hyped up man- i was mad loud with excitement. When they eventually came out, me and my bros bought them for the dreamcast and played the hell out all of them. Very good times and golden moments made for me around that era. 😊
MvC1 among other fighting games were the rite of passage in my school. All the older students would be playing against the new ones, and bodying them left and right. It was one of the biggest hurdles we had to get over, and it was probably one of the best memories i've ever had as a kid.
I can’t wait for the Triple KO podcast about MvC 😩 always love your MvC videos dood
My team of of Strider/Cap. Commando was always seen as weird in the arcade days. I also discovered Morrigan through this game and it ignited my love of Dark stalkers
Beautiful story 🥲 so awesome that you also went to an arcade at the mall that brought me way back to mine the popular games there capcom vs snk and marvel vs capcom 2
I always love it when the name of super moves appears on the screen
This was my first arcade game and I've been a vs fan since then. Even if future games don't live up to how well this game was.
Mvc1 also holds a special place in my heart because, as a kid, I always wanted to play mvc2 but that machine was always crowded with people and I couldn’t get in but mvc1 was always available so I just went for that instead. Megaman and venom was my og team
I have pretty much the same story as Max, this is the game that made me. I was that plucky 14 year old kid, playing either Strider-Jin or double Chun-Li, that kept going at it and getting my ass kicked, until this one older guy (maybe 21 or 22) took me under his wing and taught me more complex combos and basic strategy. By the time MvC2 came around, I was one of the best at my arcade and had moved up to getting my ass kicked by guys with an actual reputation like Viscant and Dasrik. And honestly, THIS is why the FGC has always been the most social and most diverse gaming scene- playing Marvel at home wasn't really an option, so the only way to get better was by diving into the scene and making friends.
12:37 _Holy synchronization, dude!!_ That double victory pose, yo! 🤩
As for my fighting game history... When I was a kid in the San Diego County area, there was a convenience store with a _Street Fighter II_ arcade near the apartments I lived in. Seeing the bloodied forms of the losing characters actually *scared me off of videogames for a good few years...* I would eventually recover by playing puzzle and sports games like _Tetris Attack_ and _Mario Golf/Tennis._
Then as a pre-teen, _X-Men: Children of the Atom_ caught my interest.
Later, _X-Men vs. Street Fighter_ had my attention.
And when _Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Superheroes_ landed, *it had my complete affection!* I became a full-fledged fighting game fan ever since. 😁
When X-Men Vs Street Fighter came out, I was so hyped and couldn’t believe Capcom couldn’t top it, and MSHvSF seemed to confirm that since it simply traded the roster, keeping the backgrounds, and felt like an expected half-step. Marvel Vs Capcom, however, was mind-blowing. Seeing characters other than Street Fighter really opened up my world. Mega Man…a fighter? (Never knew of Power Battles before then) Strider?? CAPTAIN COMMANDO IS ACTUALLY REAL?!?! Having Roll as a secret character was really fun. However, most important: this game was the first time I played a Darkstalkers character and the experience was so fun, it made me finally try out Darkstalkers on its own (before I only ever watched the machine). This was the first time I was playing a Capcom fighter that wasn’t Street Fighter or Marvel and it blew up my fighting game output (perfect timing as I went to college soon after MVC released).
And this is why it’s important to allow more fighting games to be out and playable, to encourage players to seek out the games that the fighters originate, not merely be asset dumps! Cameos are fine but if you don’t have access to the games then the reference is lost. Really, I owe MVC a lot to branching out my fighting game purview and I wouldn’t care about Capcom fighters as much as I do without it!
Man…I first played this game at a launders mat, in Brooklyn New York. Soon as I found it on PlayStation it was a wrap for my other games😂😂
Still have that ps1 disk and it will always get replays at my crib. Love it
*laundry
My pediatrician growing up had Alpha 3, MVC1, and Mortal Kombat 3 arcade machines in the waiting room separated by a soundproof glass. I loved going to the doctor growing up just to play these games lol. To this day my teams have to always have one Capcom and one Marvel character.
X-Men v Street Fighter did the same for me! It really sucked to watch Sabretooth get nerfed throughout the years but I still used him!
Holy shit that jungle jive story hit me in my soul. I did the same thing. I couldn't tell you want games I played with those tokens but I loved getting them tokens. If you hung around that machine enough, the odd token would fall down and cause a cascade and you could get a free dollar from just right place right time.
When i was a teenager there was a food place in my neighborhood that had several arcade machines .this was my portal to marvel vs capcom and the king of fighters games.when i entered the local and saw rockman fighting againts spiderman (two of my favourite characers in the world) whit anime style sprites i lost my shit .i was amazed and quickly began to spent entire days there .in my home everyone knew where i been all day cause i always came home smeling like fried potatoes or chicken .
It definetly is the best vs game of the whole saga .also bengus did his best work ilustrating this game art
Also here in Argentina kof 98 and 2002 were the shit .those arcades were allways full of people waiting to play
In my local arcade, we used to jokingly call strider's bomb the wolverine defense. Because it would shut down a solo wolverine so hard.
It forced him to play patient because wolvie couldn't do any damage worth face tanking the bomb in the time it two it took to summon it.
I totally get what he means when he say being the “gambit” player, at my smash locals I’m the Mewtwo Meta Knight guy and it’s really rewarding hearing that and being known as someone you have to look out for purely because of character choice and skill
Ayo. Can we get a Marvel retrospective? I’d be all for you playing through the whole series!
I love this game
Reminds me of the Laundromats and Swap Meets here in LA lol
Yep I love this game.
I actually share some similar experiences, but the BIG thing for me about this game is that I got to know a lot of these cool characters (like, venom, strider, gambit, etc) even tho I wasn't good playing this back then.
Also Captain America's theme for me is the OFICIAL main theme of MVC 1
I worked at a movie theater in my early 20s as a manager and we had this game in the arcade. I played on my breaks. When I got off and closed and stayed a few hours to play. When I saw a movie. It ran on tokens. Which we provided. I wasn't good at all. But as a huge fan of these characters growing up and how awesome it was, I just loved playing. I got another job and heard through old coworker friends that the general manager was selling it. I made a deal and a week later I went to get it and it was gone. He sold it to another business for more. Whatever.
MvC1 surely holds a special place in my heart, because it was one of my personal favourite picks to play when I went to the arcade, and mainly because spiderman and megaman were in the game. It's funny, because that was around 2005/6 when I was 5-6 years old, and even though arcades were pretty much dead, this only arcade had a floor dedicated to shooters, racing games and prize machines, and a floor dedicated to old arcade games (I remember there were like 4 different kof machines as well as a couple of mortal kombats). But so far the coolest thing was that all the machines were the Sega Astrocity (I believe thats the name) machines, and they actually felt good to play, not like the cheap machines that you could find somewhere else. Fucking love this game even though I really suck at it lol
Somewhere around 1999, the MvC1 cabinet was standing up at the front of the Tilt by the food court at the mall here, and I got my best-ever fighting game win streak there, taking Chun-Li and Jin to 34 wins in a row. Something like an hour's worth of gameplay on 50 cents. And then sixteen years later the mall gets new owners and they drive the Tilt out by insisting on placing their own arcade games all around the mall.
Dude these HDMI mods you've had done to the original hardware completely transforms the experience! I've never seen this game look this good! And I bet it plays like a dream
Bussin days in NYC at pizzerias and laundromats, my formative years, my favorite years, when times were simpler and quality was paramount
I love MVC 1 especially when I first played it on my uncle's Dreamcast. Only time I played it on a arcade machine was once at a local movie theater. I still remember it like yesterday, This 1 guy was whooping people still on the same quarters with his team of Wolverine & Strider. I was next to play so I popped my quarters in dude looked & took me as a chump since I was 8 at the time point is I ended that man's whole career with Ryu/MegaMan untill I had to go & watch some movie. Man I wish I had my own Dreamcast back in those days that was a fighting game I literally wanted to get good at.
Captain Commando & Morrigan that’s my team. Big John’s pizza shop Queens village back in 1999 :)
Every December I’d go to Mexico and my aunt had a arcade with this game. Best 2 weeks of the year every year
MvC inspired the strikers system in KOF 99 - 2K1...
This game has the SNK spirit, as in: THIS IS A LOVE LETTER TO MARVEL COMICS AND CAPCOM GAMES... So much passion was put in this I can almost smell it...
Same as in KOF 98, 2K2, XIII XIV and XV...
DEAR GOD. That thumbnail art. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This was one of the first out of many fighting games, aside from the Street Fighter series and Pocket Fighter, Power Stone, Rival Schools, as well as various titles from other companies, that I'd watch my brother play through as a young lad... and yet I've only learned how to fireball. I just love seeing sprites at work, especially the backgrounds IF they're destructible. I had never been to a videogame arcade at that time but had seen single arcade cabinets here and there visiting my dad in the US and funny enough saw an Alpha 2 cabinet at a pizza place I frequented in the 2010s.
There were so many good games out there to see but MAHVEL 1 always stood out to me.
Onslaught’s character concept was a great idea: Professor X corrupted by Magneto’s mind after wiping it due to the events of Fatal Attractions (sending a global EM pulse to shut down all machines, ripping out Wolverine’s Adamantium) and looking to attack the world for mutant persecution. However, what took him down to Ultra-lame was his story arc being used to shuffle the Avengers off into the whole Heroes Reborn debacle, a huge mistake that really harmed Marvel’s reputation (along with the bankruptcy and other factors).
Marvel Vs.Capcom 1 was my absolute favorite fighter in the arcade and the Dreamcast era. It was so polished and the sprites were on fucking point! The music lord help me I still whistle Captain America's theme from time to time. The announcer is so fucking iconic!
This game and kof 2001 were my first fighting games. Both arcade cabinets right next to each other in my laundromat 😂 I was ass at kof but Marvel vs Capcom was my most favorite arcade game for literally almost 2 decades !
I love how I was just watching old MvC 1 videos and some of Max old stuff about MvC and Max comes out with his new MvC video.
I saw the Marvel vs. Capcom cabinet in Peter Piper Pizza around 6 or 7 years old. My team was Spider-Man and Mega Man because I love the Sam Raimi movies and I enjoy watching the Mega Man NT Warrior anime. Seeing them join forces blew my mind and I love the game so much, I begged strangers for tokens like a hobo when I ran out of tokens my mom gave me.
I know the "Jungle Jive" machine you're talking about, we had a few machines like that when our local arcade, Dream Machine, still existed at the Maine Mall. Never went for it though, I was more into raking in tickets at the arcade (Unless I had an urge to play HotD or Area 51), but I remember those machines.
I have so many stories about arcades from my area. Everything from the small one near the local drug store and playing the Simpsons Arcade Game and X-Men vs Street Fighter to going down to one of Maine's biggest vacation towns and playing the original Punch-Out Machine
we NEED a vs collection; marvel, snk, tastunoko, the whole schbang. i REALLY wanna play mvc1 and cvs chaos on modern platforms
MSH vs Capcom was my jam. I had a arcade mini golf place that had it on a huge projector tv.
Didn't the Dreamcast version let each person control a character when they were all on screen? The credits are charming, though I'd tie it with Puzzle Fighter.
Very cool game indeed. Back then when I was playing arcade machines, I was mainly playing Metal Slug machines and a few times SF. Years later I finally played MvC and boy so good! I was mainly a Spider-Man/Wolverine guy and was trying to play better with Megaman, but failing. Hopefully they release all the MvCs in a collection (at least 1, 2, 3 and maybe a few other like Marvel Heroes and etc.). I would buy that shit so much, even if I am more of a offline player.
I really like the Onslaughr Saga in comics. For years, my favorite villain.
Too bad there is no X-Men Legends 3,
Onslaught would be a great final boss.
Haha, exactly the same for me including the Gambit/Strider part, except I did start doing this with X-men vs SF (so Gambit/Wolverine). We also had a token-pushing machine and I used that any chance I got lol.
My goals were simple: hit someone with Royal Flush and hit them with Ragnarok. I remember being a kid and someone behind me saying "he's got timing!!" when I hit my older brother with a random Berserker Barrage X super and I never let him forget it lol.
So at my middle we were allowed to go outside and eat near at the pizza shop. The bodega at the corner had mvc 1. me and a group of kids wouldn’t lunch all week just so that we could meet up after school on fridays to play it. And before anyone ask why we didn’t just eat the lunch room food it’s because we would play football for longer than the kids that ate in the lunch room.
This game is truly one of a kind. An all-time great. On a related note, I actually genuinely loved Roll in MvC1. It is utterly baffling to me that they decided she of all characters needed to be so heavily nerfed in MvC2.
If 2 had 1's version of Roll, I would legitimately use her in it.
MvC1 to me had the most lacking roster in the entire series.
Other than Roll, even the hidden characters were unimpressive. Where was thee Ken Masters, Iron Man and U.S. Agent? I don’t want orange versions of Hulk and Venom.
Also I wanted Guile to be on the roster (instead of Chun-Li), with Shadow and Shadow Lady as hidden fighters. And Guile's plot in MvC1 centering on him teaming up with Captain America and trying to unbrainwash both Nash and Chun-Li.
Good God, the quarters I dumped into my MVC1 cabinet at the beachside New Jersey arcade....
@8:46 "Be your true self!" Man, Strider giving me life advice.
I used to shoot pool at the local Boys and Girls Club for quarters to play more games at arcades. For me, at the time, it was Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha and eventually this one.
That thumbnail artwork is too cool I need it
i miss the arcade days dang born in 1991 cannot say i never played arcades sf2 was my first game and marvel 1 was my first marvel game growing up
mvc clash of heroes is such an unforgettable classic. Really wished gambit, jin, and captain commando were in more mvc games.
I remember renting MvC for Playstation from my local Hollywood Video when I was a kid. Absolutely loved this game and maining Mega Man.
The character selection screen is so good too
Word on the Curb is that Arcade 1up is going to release Marvel vs Capcom 2 and Time Crisis for there next line up for 2022.
My fondest memories of MVC1 are playing it at a little market next to my high school that we called Dirty Mike's. They also had Puzzle Fighter and MVC2 so the place was always packed
I played this game for hours , back in my village in Jamaica. Sweet times
i think it's a funny coincidence you gambling to get those arcade tokens so you could play as a guy called Gambit in mvc
Gambit looks so cool in the thumbnail with that art style definitely one of my favorite X-MEN characters I'm sad Channing Tatums Gambit movie didn't get made he seems so passionate about the Gambit character id love to see Channing Tatum play Gambit someday everything I've heard about the Gambit movie script sounds really cool a Rated R mutant Goodfellas movie set in New Orleans in the Deadpool side of the Fox X-Men movies universe is so unique and cool sounding to me man
I think what made this game really fun was it was not overly reliant on assists as MvC2 and UMvC3.
Max and I have very similar stories here. Mom gives you $1 in quarters, you turn that into $5 with the gambling machine, and then you play your game. Only difference is with me it was UMK3. Lol. Good times
My brother used to work at a movie theatre and after school I would go to his work and wait for him to get off to go home. His best friend/supervisor would give me free credits to play Marvel vs Capcom while I wait for him to get off and I would be so good using Chun Li/Morrigan
Played it on Dreamcast....and then MvC2 released and I never played it again. A friend owned it, I never did, but once I had MvC2 I didn't even think to go back.
This game is amazing though.
Yo, shout-out to KAINONAUT. That thumbnail is fantastic
Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter will always have a special place in my heart.
I remember burning my sixth grade grad trip at a bowling alley playing MVC. Got to Onslaught, SOMEHOW. Ran Venom and Captain Commando. I'm trash at this game but I have fond memories of it.
it's beautiful to see how everyone is having certain memories with their first loved fighting game .. for me it was waku waku 7 , not too popular but it's pretty good tho .. i've spend a lot of time and quarters haha getting beaten up trying to get better at the game . i really loved the characters in it back in the days especially rai and slash . sweet memories
This was the game I always wanted to play at the arcade when I was a kid. It's the game that I learned how to throw a fireball in
I'm glad that Max prefers MVC1 over 2. I feel the same way! The general gameplay with its use of all 6 buttons and the limit of assist characters meant that the gameplay put more emphasis on the actual player characters
Don't get me wrong MVC2 is still great but 1 felt more balanced and polish, but what it has over 2 is personality; the general art direction and music feels like a celebration of both Capcom and Marvel properties, as opposed to the more uniform, slightly generic look and sound MVC2 went with.
For me this game was special because it was my first Arcade game. Living in a small town we never have Arcades previous to this, this was one of the few machines that this first Arcade local have. Marvel catch everyone attention there probably because the superheroes.
I don't even like MvC2 but this one was part of my history.
I know you mentioned liking this roster in triple KO. But this game definitely lacked villains and as a villains only player I couldn’t be that into this verses game.
Best Character Select Theme (said it before, will say it again)!!
I love how they kept the Gambit theme from X-Men VS. Street Fighter. Wish they did that in MVC2 but MVC2 did the whole unique jazz ost thing. Still good, but characters no longer had unique theme songs. 🤔 but that MVC2 ost do be funky.
May I say that MvC 1 Morrigan's theme is amazing.
This was, and forever will, my favorite crossover of anything ever. That is coming from an absolute casual player as well. I love this game, I like it more than the Super Smash Bros. franchise. It has that cool nineties Jim Lee mixed with anime art style, and both companies threw they're most popular characters into the roster. It really is the greatest crossover ever.
I was playing MvC2 (new to fighting games and started diving to older ones since i found 3rd strike)
I saw X-men vs SF and i was like "WHY MVC2 WAS LIKE THAT" and then dove into MvC 1 my god. That game is the most beautiful shit in the world.
I was so sad when i realised that i can't get the arcade 1up for it anymore.
this is my favorite game of all time, seriously I build and arcade cabinet just to play this game like a legit arcade lol
