I still remember June 2000. Bob the manager wheeling the Marvel 2 cabinet into the Tilt. It was so exciting to stop in and see who had been unlocked. Once the master of Saikyo-Ryu was unlocked it was game over. "Otoko Michi!"
Never understood why CAPCOM never made a Street Fighter vs Darkstalkers game around this time. They coukd've included all of these characrers as a part of the Darkstalkers roster (plus a couple from Red Earth, as well).
SonSon technically is the closest the four have to a direct link to another Capcom game (MvC2 SonSon is the granddaughter of the Son Goku of the SonSon video game).
This was one of my fav childhood games...while my older brothers played Street fighter 2&3 years later I played MvC2...Iron Man, War Machine and Wolverine were my team... wolverine could be interchangeable with Spidey tho.
Ruby Heart does have a cool design to me. Darkstalkers? Maybe, but Domingo and his attacks fit WAY better with the cartoonishness. Would like to see her with her own game though or maybe in another cameo with a slightly more active role. At least she's under "Apprehended" on that poster unlike SonSon and Domingo under "Slain". Speaking of SonSon though, it kinda felt like they wanted an excuse to make a female Son Wukong. Don't get me wrong, I love when people bring in characters from Mythology or even female versions of Historical figures(like the Sengoku Period of Japan or Three Kingdoms days of China). I mean, if it gets people to take an interest in culture and history, why not? That said, SonSon could've been standalone, but I guess the developer wanted a lore reason, so they gave it. Cool enough. Wish she got her own game, too. Domingo I have less interest in, but as I said, he looks more like a Darkstalkers character than Ruby Heart does. Though I'm a fan of more... stylish characters? A sentient Mexican cactus sounds goofy and fun, but not my style.
I'm so happy, I thought I was the only one who thought that she didnt really belong in a darkstalkers roster. I love Ruby Heart so much, though I wouldnt mind seeing her anywhere again, honestly!
Before Capcom made MvC2, Amingo its actually planned to have his own game, possibly answer/rip-off to Sega samba themed game character with similar name, Amigo. However, Capcom suddenly drop the idea and scrap the whole project 🥲
Everyone says Amingo was supposed to be in his own game and Ruby was supposed to be a darkstalkers but Amingo has all of the qualities of a darkstalkers character with his attacks
I did an artwork of these amazing fighters like Men Masters from the street fighter series fighting a random puppet from long forgotten video game was made once in 1995 called Brain Dead 13 (1995) the video game as a fighter
I gotta say, the whole thing where Son Son turns into a giant Ape while being controllable seems likes something Darkstalkers would do, and she's both too much of a deep cut but also changed to have been that someone at Capcom was like choosing her strictly on merit. If she had also been a Darkstalkers character I would not be surprised.
This is a great video. I haven't played anything past marvel superheroes, but i enjoy watching these versions being played. I always had questions about where and if i know where these crazy characters came from. Thanks for answering those questions. I look forward to the other characters stories in this game and the street fighter games, especially "Q" and that crazy dude with the Ying and Yang ball in his belly💪
Awesome vid as usual,could one day you do a similar vid about marrow she seems to fit the character of dis vid in da way of been plucked out of nowhere
@@donovanperrington418 I really can't disagree. I even unlocked same-character picks and beat him on hardest with 3 of Venom, and he's kinda bad imo. I love Venom anyway. XD
@@antonsimmons8519 Venom is bad? I'm a total casual with MvC, but when I first played and beat it, Venom was one of the trio I used to beat him. And he was probably my most useful member against Abyss.
Hey Top Man. I thought I should tell you about the character SON SON that was also referenced in Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors Dreams in Ryu's Stage as the name of the supermarket called SON SON. Thought I throw in this little trivia for you 🙂.
Its amazing how no matter how long you have loved something there's always a chance you'll learn something new. I absolutely loved this game when it first came out. I thought it had the best graphics of all time. Being a big Marvel fan i had just assumed any character i didnt know was just from a Capcom game lol. Also i used to think the last boss was Death Adder from the early Golden Axe games.
Back in the day, when the only place you could watch the uncensored version of the Japanese Resident Evil opening was on the Capcom site, I could swear I saw Amingo (along with a handful of different human characters that were like cowboys and robbers or something) in a little web browser game that was on the banner of the site. Might have only been on the Japanese side of the site...pretty sure it was actually. It seemed to be an ad for a game Capcom never made. Stylistically it looked so much like Samba de Amigo that the first time I saw a preview for Samba de Amigo sometime later in a magazine, I thought it was a preview of whatever that Capcom game had been. Tried finding out what that game could’ve been, but I never had any luck discovering what the late '90s banner web browser game that I’m pretty sure was only on the Japanese site for a short while ever was. Maybe one day Capcom will dig up some art related to it.
Really wish this game was on Switch. Or even better if we would get a 2.5 version and they add Dante, thor, deadpool, virgile and everyone else who was added later. Give them 2d sprite art. Also maybe clean up the old sprite art so all the characters look like their in the similar style
Man I remember playing this in a local laundrymat in the 2000s I was about 6 years old the owner of laundrymat used to bring out a milk crate to stand on it and reach
I was really enjoyed this game and yeah those are bonus Capcom characters I think I only saw them in this game they were probably mentioned in the Sentinel level with Marvel versus Capcom 3 with them either being captured or Slade
The Hat gaming man hope everything's going all right I really enjoyed a lot of those characters from Marvel versus Capcom in the third game where all of them were shown like an Easter egg I always thought that was really cool
As for the Marvel side, Marrow is only playable in this game. Cable used to be exclusive here, but he became playable in Marvel: Contest of Champions since 2017.
love son son(enjoyed the original and would've liked to see more of her.) & ruby heart(think love heart does the dimensional pirate concept better but do like ruby originally being a darkstalker character,being the leader of the capcom roster with cable for marvel and how street fighter made her somewhat part of the series making the characters from pirate ship higemura her family.) and kinda wish mvc2 had more of a story/arcade mode endings with how it's a bit bare outside the roster/stages telling it like sonson's home after abyss went through it,amigo's village and parts of ruby hearts ship in her home base with it's ending even for arcade style just happening and despite being a bull bossfight liked abyss concept a being that could erode the world to primordial.(just realized outside sigma/to an extent cyber akuma most of the final bosses are marvel.)
CAPCOM missed a huge opportunity to make a standalone SonSon game back in the day. Perhaps could have played somewhat similar to Ninja Gaiden or Shinobi in 3D, just not aa violent or gory. Probably the MvC2 character w/the most potential to branch on to her own series of 3D hyper-action games, something CAPCOM didn't have a whole lot of.
@@baddabaddabaddaswing - Indeed. Tho it's my understanding CAPCOM was toying w/the idea of reviving some of their older ip at the time, including Ghosts & Goblins, 194X, Bionic Commando, Wolf of the Battlefield & Strider (perhaps also Captain Commando, don't remember). Only some of those got sequels or side-stories during that generation, or the next. Would've loved the same thing which hapoened w/Strider, also happen w/Sonson. It would've made for an amazing, I bet. Rumor has it, Sonson was at one point considered as an extra playable character in either Power Stone or Cannon Spike. Other than that, CAPCOM seems to have pretty much abandoned the character. There was a time, she was a popularr cosplay character.

there was a cancelled game called CAPCOM all stars
They did, it's called Capcom Fighting Jam and it sucks.
@@younghotboy109 - Missed opporrtunity. Instead, we got Fighting Evolution, which felt like a bad joke.
@@baddabaddabaddaswing - Not the same thing - at all.
SonSon technically is the closest the four have to a direct link to another Capcom game (MvC2 SonSon is the granddaughter of the Son Goku of the SonSon video game).
I remember first playing it I told my friend what are these strange characters when I looked at some of them like that cactus..
I have always wondered if all four where originally meant to be Darkstalker characters.
Bishop traveled to the present to prevent Amingo from dying, that's canon now.
This was one of my fav childhood games...while my older brothers played Street fighter 2&3 years later I played MvC2...Iron Man, War Machine and Wolverine were my team... wolverine could be interchangeable with Spidey tho.

Also, I think Son Son is also a reference to an older capcom game
Ruby Heart, Amingo, and Ingrid are the oddly long list of Capcom characters with no game to call their own.
Before Capcom made MvC2, Amingo its actually planned to have his own game, possibly answer/rip-off to Sega samba themed game character with similar name, Amigo. However, Capcom suddenly drop the idea and scrap the whole project 🥲
Street Fighter would be it for Ingrid.
Everyone says Amingo was supposed to be in his own game and Ruby was supposed to be a darkstalkers but Amingo has all of the qualities of a darkstalkers character with his attacks
I'm not going to lie my favorite is the monkey character
Amingo is the best fighter my favorite list of incredible fighters next to Shamru
I did an artwork of these amazing fighters like Men Masters from the street fighter series fighting a random puppet from long forgotten video game was made once in 1995 called Brain Dead 13 (1995) the video game as a fighter
That's why I love Amingo

Awesome vid as usual,could one day you do a similar vid about marrow she seems to fit the character of dis vid in da way of been plucked out of nowhere
Most hilarious thing about that final form is how just having Cable on your team and alive is basically a guarantee you're gonna win.
Silver Samurai's lightning special can also kill Abyss in like 5 seconds
Honestly he’s a pretty easy boss fight in general.
@@MFPLATYPUS lmao i didn't know, but that is hilarious.

😻 I really hope one day we get a Tatsunoko vs Capcom 2!! Or at least a rerelease of the original!!
Wow I never knew Amigo was so versatile
Top Hat 🎩 forgot to mention that Rose has a Ruby Heart outfit on Street Fighter 5.

I probably played this at the arcade one day.
Really wish this game was on Switch.

Well its on switch now
Ruby Heart - Higemaru (Momotaru's relative)
Amingo - ??? (Samba de Amigo?)
Son Son - Son Wukong's granddaughter (nes)

My favorite fighting game of all time !!!! Nothing tops MVC2
As for the Marvel side, Marrow is only playable in this game. Cable used to be exclusive here, but he became playable in Marvel: Contest of Champions since 2017.
I really wouldn't count some crappy mobile game (which isn't even a Marvel vs Capcom game) as a basis for comparison.
love son son(enjoyed the original and would've liked to see more of her.) & ruby heart(think love heart does the dimensional pirate concept better but do like ruby originally being a darkstalker character,being the leader of the capcom roster with cable for marvel and how street fighter made her somewhat part of the series making the characters from pirate ship higemura her family.) and kinda wish mvc2 had more of a story/arcade mode endings with how it's a bit bare outside the roster/stages telling it like sonson's home after abyss went through it,amigo's village and parts of ruby hearts ship in her home base with it's ending even for arcade style just happening and despite being a bull bossfight liked abyss concept a being that could erode the world to primordial.(just realized outside sigma/to an extent cyber akuma most of the final bosses are marvel.)
This was a very amazing in-depth video, I never knew these details before.
Thanks for the upload.
There was already a Marvel character named Abyss. I thought that's what this boss was based on.
AMINGO MUST RETURN
I really really really want to make a game about these 3 because I really enjoy them and adore them a lot
Sir top hat gaming man speaking about classic fighting games and beat em ups is always a highlight of any day
Man I loved playing Ruby Sonson and Amingo
I used to use both Ruby Heart and Amingo along with Gief for a weird, unpredictable control style gameplay
Not a bad story about the 3 odd characters in Marvel vs Capcom 2.
Best channel
Fr
I thought Rubyheart was a Pirate Ship Higemaru related character 🧐
Yes. And sonson had her own self-titled arcade game as well.
CAPCOM missed a huge opportunity to make a standalone SonSon game back in the day. Perhaps could have played somewhat similar to Ninja Gaiden or Shinobi in 3D, just not aa violent or gory. Probably the MvC2 character w/the most potential to branch on to her own series of 3D hyper-action games, something CAPCOM didn't have a whole lot of.
Funny enough, Strider being in MvC1 prompted Capcom to make a new 2d Strider game on PS1, they could have done the same with sonson

Amingo is one of my favorite mvc2 characters
I'm going to make a mugen game which has all these monsters characters from red earth darlkstalkers and Jill as well...great video btw
I played this yesterday on my iPhone on Flycast! Still an amazing game up to this day. For me it’s 10 times better than Marvel Vs Capcom Infinite.
The more videos I watch, the more I'm convinced you're a Bond villain.
Actually ruby heart and sonson had their own Games before this, around 1984.
I love the Cactus fighter better
I loved Ruby and Son Son.
Hey, Top Hat Gaming Man. In a future video, can you please do a review of BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger?
We need MVC Anniversary
Ruby heart would make for a good One piece character
Cool video Mvc2 4 ever
Sonson game came out in the 80s.not sure if it counts exclusive
Could you do a Darkstalkers iceberg?
How do you play as Abyss?
I thought Amingo was a woman? Like I thought that was confirmed at some point? Well either way, thnx for the vid!
Oddities LOL shaking my head
we need this on console by now
Sonson 4 Darkstalkers.
Son has a lot of moves that ended up in Naruto episodes.
I really wish Capcom would just do darkstalkers 4 with amingo Sonson ruby heart Tessa from red earth Dante Vergil King Arthur Firebrand SERIOUSLY
Wish the new characters came back for mvc 3 again
Wasn't Abyss made into Apocalypse's son in the Age of the Apocalypse?
Marvel Abyss and MvC2 Abyss aren't related at all.
@@baddabaddabaddaswing Which one came first?
Dragonball was also originally inspired by Journey To The West thus the similarities.
8:34
Pokemon? Nope, but digimon did. You should see it's name.
Innovative content. MvsC2. Nobody has done that before
I love megaman characters tron roll mega
Yeah I have it in Xbox 360 I love 💕 it 🇩🇿😎
and the japanese comedian secret character? Did I miss something?
I love your channel it would be awesome if you could join us in arcade one up
Amingo = killer 💀💀💀
Fantastic idea for a video. Who doesnt pick up this game and think " who the fuck is this cactus? "
actually you're wrong. only ruby heart is OG.
And The Main Character of Dragonball's Power Pole, Goku!
More like big daddy copycat, hasn't this been done before? Also, loyal sub here for you top daddy. Dm me

Really hates these characters when they comes out. And beating them feels great.
So broken and unbalanced yet so good 😘🤏
