MvC2: We got Cable MvC3: We got Deadpool "The Next MvC game is going to have 2-man teams!" They forgot to send the invitation letters to these guys. . . Edit: I'll stop being salty now. Great vid
I think It'd be cool if this was a series.. honestly your ideas are so appreciated and highly valued by so many people because your'e genuine, passionate, and you're so appreciative of all games, if you made an "Appreciation/Breakdown" series with all your favorite characters from a variety of games, or even some characters you think are under appreciated, I think it would be awesome. :) Side note: I used to be a strict Melee fan, but now thanks to you I've become a fan of all fighting games, I even bought a Dreamcast and got Garou and 3rd Strike, I also got CvS2, EVERY MvC, SvC Chaos, Guilty Gear, and KOF for other systems, and 3rd Strike and Garou are my 2 favorite 2d fighters ever now, so thank you!!
Hey, I like this Appreciation Breakdown video you made, Max! I do hope to see more in the future for more characters you love, like Gambit, the Shotos, Rock Howard, etc.
Of which Cable's sister (sort of) was telepathically teleported to be their leader before hopping back to the present, in between stints of being the Phoenix. Everything regarding the Summers family tree is messed up.
Cable/Cyclops/Zangief The reasons my brother made me cry as a kid. Or the reason I enjoyed actually watching him play (when I was supposed to be in bed/asleep) Cable/Cyclops and Ryu for beams everywhere and always hearing those buttonsclickin
MvC2 was legendary. The roster, the presentation, everything. I played this daily at my local arcade and bought it the first day it came out on Dreamcast. It was an amazing time back then.
Man I love characters like Cable. Not just on how he plays and the technical stuff but from the animations and sprite work. Stuff makes great use for study too when it comes to drawing. Thanks for the rad vid Max, really enjoyed it.
It's surprising how few people know that SonSon wasn't a character original to MvC2 (Being a super old Capcom arcade game character), the only two original MvC2 characters were Ruby Heart and Amingo (And even then I believe he was originally a scrapped Darkstalkers character or something).
Really? Huh, that's interesting. Still, I'd personally argue SonSon shouldn't be grouped in with the other two characters as she technically still has a bit of a "legacy", unlike Ruby Heart+Amingo.
Loved this! Kind of like a mini Assist Me! I love videos where you go in depth with characters like this and I’d love to see more. Be it from old fighting games or otherwise.
Midknight Huargo Infinite went into preplanning 3 weeks after vanilla Marvel 3 launched. If you're gonna blame an entirely different game it would be Street Fighter 5 since Infinite got half as big a budget as SF5's *DLC* .
Marvel 2 was from a different era. It was pre-CGI everything, pre-cultural degradation, pre-animation decline, etc. We see the same thing in anime quality as well. Compare 90's anime to 2020 anime, the art style.
I miss this game so much. It wasn't just a sick fighting game, it was an era of my life with great friends, fun hangouts, and deep learning. This community lasted years even without any patches.
3:22 Sweet Zarq! He DOES have Psi-mitar Warspear! He used to be all guns, then some blessed genius gave him the spear in the mid-to-late '90s. Got plenty of the those comics. He can channel psychic energy into it making an ultra-effective weapon.
Hey Max fun note, his command throw has one good thing about it. You can use it after you land his other useless move timeflip and if done right you'll throw them on a bullet and you can follow up with ahvb. There is one way cable can connect timeflip by himself and that's with standing fp as the bullet hits him.
this was my introduction into the deeper level of fighting games. I played mvc2 for a while before I encountered a cable/storm/sentinel lock-down team. On a casual level it sucks to play someone who chucks grenades and calls in sentinel swarm all day. It was also exciting to see what new character was unlocked or news of another arcade having another character available.
One of the best arcade games of all time. There was months when this game came out where certain teams were dominant. Then new teams took over, and so on. Some many different phases of this game in the couple years when it was the top game in every arcade. Teenagers and adults on Friday and Saturday would line up to play, I saw a 15 year old kid get 54 wins vs 30 something different players....... huge crowds , cheering , lots of ohs and ahhss. Never seen anything like it in 20 years of going to arcades.
God damn, I remember trying that air hop HVB combo loop when I ran a team with Cable for a bit. That was sorta ridiculous in how easy it was to do with a full meter. Especially when you get a Happy Birthday.
I specifically remember that the one thing I heard about the balance in MVC2 back in the day was that Cable was apparently super broken. I forget where, almost definitely some magazine or whatever. This was long before I started caring about the meta of fighting games, this was around the time the PS2 version came along, so I was like 16 at the oldest.
It's those three, Doom, and a couple others that I saw in tournament play years after the fact with the advent of youtube and the like. Hardly ever any Cables though. At least not that I can remember. I dunno, i was just rambling.
Doom's okay, but I wouldn't put him in the same breath as those three. But yeah, those early TH-cam days were something else with 240p and all that jazz
You hardly see Cables because he had this stigma of being easy mode. Like, you need to search for all the broken stuff the other 3 do, but Cable was obviously strong since day 1. Other characters like Doom are better as assists than Cable is, so I guess people just picked Storm/Sentinel/Magneto and a good assist.
Now that this collection is coming, I can't wait to play as Cable in Marvel vs. Capcom 2! He's my favorite mutant combatant. He's pretty much what would happen if you made Classic Nick Fury a mutant.
The command grab had one great thing about it, that made it really useful in dire times. I've heard tales of players giving quarters to players who managed to land a command grab with Cable on them.
One of the best things about cable: his psimitar can be set as his alpha counter, which can then be cancelled into his AHVB. And since you can cancel blockstun into an alpha counter, that means there’s a lot of safe moves that on block, become unsafe moves that you can punish if cable’s on your team. IE, playing against a magneto that decided to cancel into magnetic shockwave to be safe? Block, then counter in cable and AHVB him to death.
It's funny that the first time I saw Cable, was in this game. I knew almost nothing from X-men, but I always called Cable an "alternative version of Cyclops with rays in his gun instead of his eyes" or mostly "Cyclops father". Years later I found out that I wasn't so far from the true. LOL
Cable only needs one weapon in MvC2. His classic special attack - *GIBBITARR!* The voicework was so bad in this game lol. It took me a while to figure out that it was supposed to be "Scimitar".
Awesome video, content, commentary & gameplay as ever Max! always really entertaining, engaging & fun to watch :) keep up the stellar work as always dude!.
For some reason i remember(incorrectly) that cable had a hyper combo that used his demonic looking arm. It stretched out and hit his opponent like the hyper viper beam
Joshua Lowe well that's not entirely true as cable is also in marvel's mobile fighting game contest of champions as well sure it's not a big budget AAA fighting game but it's still a fighting game non the less.
Cable had the Psimitar in the late 90's, like during the "The Twelve" storyline. It was part of the push after Columbine to give the superheroes who primarily used guns something else for a while. Like, the Punisher became an angel who used supernatural guns that only hurt "the evil".
I got a feeling just one feeling one day they'll surprise us with a re release for it on current gen and next gen just imagine how much of a fat pay wall they will make.
I believe stuff like that is what put so many off mvc 3 for a minute. If Marvel wasnt making all these movies modern Marvel Vs Capcom would be too sick.
I remember him using the psmitar, to stab Gambit thru the chest in the comics. Since its a telepathic weapon gambit's brain was fooled into thinking he was dead.
You should do one of these to raise awareness for Hayato, Ruby Heart, and maybe Cyclops and Rogue. All these characters are super sick and deserve to be in the next entry.
MvC2: We got Cable
MvC3: We got Deadpool
"The Next MvC game is going to have 2-man teams!"
They forgot to send the invitation letters to these guys. . .
Edit: I'll stop being salty now. Great vid
Ya salty about that?,im still waiting for lord raptor only so i could see him hell dunking enemies
@@weirdomcfreak
That would be awesome.
But Cable and Deadpool is a pretty iconic team-up for comic nerds.
A healthy dose of fanservice.
@@firstcooommment3675 Yea i know...but cmon...Give us another darkstalkers rep...thats all they gonna have for years!
John Talbain would be sick
The sprites on this game are beautiful.
LuisLEONFC73 I cried tears of joy
LuisLEONFC73 A time when Capcom actually cared.
LuisLEONFC73 What about Morrigan’s sprite lol
The reused ones looked better in their previous games.
@@matthewmorrison3745 this is probably their lazies Mvc game.
Cable's sprite set is always worth to look and stare. A wonderful breakdown, max.
THE GLUTS.....THE GLUTS
MetalPcAngel agreed
I think It'd be cool if this was a series.. honestly your ideas are so appreciated and highly valued by so many people because your'e genuine, passionate, and you're so appreciative of all games, if you made an "Appreciation/Breakdown" series with all your favorite characters from a variety of games, or even some characters you think are under appreciated, I think it would be awesome. :)

Garou? 👍
Hey, I like this Appreciation Breakdown video you made, Max! I do hope to see more in the future for more characters you love, like Gambit, the Shotos, Rock Howard, etc.
none of them are good though, cable is one of the best in marvel 2.
It's "Psimitar", rather scimitar. It a crystile spear used to focus psychic energy, the weapon of Askani order that raised adn trained Cable.
Of which Cable's sister (sort of) was telepathically teleported to be their leader before hopping back to the present, in between stints of being the Phoenix. Everything regarding the Summers family tree is messed up.
🤓
thanks man!
Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Is Legendary!
Tiffany Kloss best fighting game of all time for sure
Gonna take you for a ride
A game which we probably aren't going to see something like it again in a long time. Maybe never.
LIT GOD nah but close
Tiffany Kloss The best.
*HYPER*
*VIPER BEAM*
[repeat 5 times]
Cable hops best thing about Cable
unrooolie ITS, ITS KILLMONG-wait, it’s just Kenny.
Cable/Cyclops/Zangief
The reasons my brother made me cry as a kid.
Or the reason I enjoyed actually watching him play (when I was supposed to be in bed/asleep)
Cable/Cyclops and Ryu for beams everywhere and always hearing those buttonsclickin
You know you're in for a tough fight when your opponent chooses Cable and two characters from Children of the Atom as their team.
I don’t think Cable, Wolverine, and Silver Samurai would be real tough to beat :P
Storm magneto and strider/ddoom is alot tougher
@@floral2970 Cable , Sentinel & Storm/Mag
Shocked you didn’t pick Cable/Colossus/Juggernaut
I see what you did there.
Wait jumping fierce kick is godlike
The Summers Family Dropkick to go along with the Family Roundhouse and One button preojectile
MvC2 was legendary. The roster, the presentation, everything. I played this daily at my local arcade and bought it the first day it came out on Dreamcast. It was an amazing time back then.
Just the sprite art alone from mvc2 shows how much love went into the game -spongebob voice- where's the love MvCi
Isn't all the sprites from this game just ripped from the games the characters appeared in?
swifttiger spongebob voice
Savon Torres most of them but the new ones are really well done
If anyone doesn't know, cable is cyclops son
mr_itryhard thank you sir.
Yeah the son of Cyclops and a clone of Jean Grey
Cyclops looks like Cable’s son
Cable is the one who goes to the past (already and adult) to wreck shit up (not always), well if you knew about this, ignore lol
so trunks is the Cable FUNCTION in FighterZ? PogChamp
The greatest crossover fighting game ever!
Man I love characters like Cable.
Not just on how he plays and the technical stuff but from the animations and sprite work.
Stuff makes great use for study too when it comes to drawing.
Thanks for the rad vid Max, really enjoyed it.
cable and cyclops lasers everywhere, a dream.
I really like Ruby Heart's and SonSon's design
Hey! Don't forget Amingo :(
Cartoon King CAN CAPCOM BRING THAT TRIO BACK?! I LOVED THEM SO MUCH!!
It's surprising how few people know that SonSon wasn't a character original to MvC2 (Being a super old Capcom arcade game character), the only two original MvC2 characters were Ruby Heart and Amingo (And even then I believe he was originally a scrapped Darkstalkers character or something).
Viva Reverie SonSon isn't the same character as the arcade one, she's supposed to be a descendant
Really? Huh, that's interesting. Still, I'd personally argue SonSon shouldn't be grouped in with the other two characters as she technically still has a bit of a "legacy", unlike Ruby Heart+Amingo.
Cable was also super badass in X-Men Legends. He had a lot of psi attacks that could stun lock enemies and his gun attacks were stupid powerful.
Loved this! Kind of like a mini Assist Me! I love videos where you go in depth with characters like this and I’d love to see more. Be it from old fighting games or otherwise.
Cable is in another game, Max! He's in MVSCI, and he's now known as Winter Soldier...
Someone needs to emulate this for the nintendo switch like yesterday
This comment aged well, lol.
A prophet
Absolutely love Cable! Great memories with this character on MVC2. Probably my favorite character on the game.
Mvc2 was perfect in my eyes
phillipfavors2001 fact
lol, u could of beat the whole game just with the viper beam
It is considered the greatest fighting game of all time.
I agree. I think it stands to reason that a lot of games in the last few years would have been better had they not had so many patches.
Yeah, perfectly imbalanced lel
You know capcom put a lot of love and effort into marvel 2 and ultimate marvel 3. What happened?
Midknight Huargo Infinite went into preplanning 3 weeks after vanilla Marvel 3 launched. If you're gonna blame an entirely different game it would be Street Fighter 5 since Infinite got half as big a budget as SF5's *DLC* .
That’s easy, around 2008 Capcom got infatuated with the HD remaster, causing a very nasty trend that continues to this day.
Marvel 2 was from a different era. It was pre-CGI everything, pre-cultural degradation, pre-animation decline, etc. We see the same thing in anime quality as well. Compare 90's anime to 2020 anime, the art style.
Cable's victory pose where his arm flips out is flippin badass
Cable, Ruby Heart, and Son Son always looked the best to me, at least in terms of new spritework for MvC2.
Hayato also looks great Spiral's arms are dope too
what about Jill and Tron?
I miss this game so much. It wasn't just a sick fighting game, it was an era of my life with great friends, fun hangouts, and deep learning. This community lasted years even without any patches.
I like this segments

Cable is awesome because of three words.
HYPER VIPER BEAM
this was my introduction into the deeper level of fighting games. I played mvc2 for a while before I encountered a cable/storm/sentinel lock-down team. On a casual level it sucks to play someone who chucks grenades and calls in sentinel swarm all day.
It was also exciting to see what new character was unlocked or news of another arcade having another character available.
FINALLY getting a Marvel Legends of this Cable
Need one of these breakdowns for Storm!
GONNA TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE
Cable was godlike in mvc2 his hyper beam slows down captain America's charging star by a whole lot and slows down juggernaut's head butt charge too .
@Maximilian Dood
Would it be asking too much for Cable in Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite?
xxnike629xx that games died, move on.
xxnike629xx and now that Comcast is making a move on Fox...who really knows?
Rimmin Russell nobody is taking this idiotic comment serious.
Marvel properties are pretty much independent states between the comics Fox the MCU and Disney all own media pertaining to Marvel
Twan The One The awful awful fighting game community everyone.
My best friend Alex uses the command grab as a finisher.
Cable was the first character I learned to play in MVC2
That moment when you realize this roster is the biggest out of the games
One of the best arcade games of all time. There was months when this game came out where certain teams were dominant. Then new teams took over, and so on. Some many different phases of this game in the couple years when it was the top game in every arcade.

I like this series, you should keep doing these
"Scimitar!" still haunts my friends to this day, i've made sure of it
God damn, I remember trying that air hop HVB combo loop when I ran a team with Cable for a bit. That was sorta ridiculous in how easy it was to do with a full meter. Especially when you get a Happy Birthday.
its mahvel baby! the real mahvel! MvC2 Best game ever
I specifically remember that the one thing I heard about the balance in MVC2 back in the day was that Cable was apparently super broken. I forget where, almost definitely some magazine or whatever. This was long before I started caring about the meta of fighting games, this was around the time the PS2 version came along, so I was like 16 at the oldest.
DavCube You're not wrong. Cable along with Sentinel, Magneto and Storm are easily the best characters in that game
It's those three, Doom, and a couple others that I saw in tournament play years after the fact with the advent of youtube and the like. Hardly ever any Cables though. At least not that I can remember. I dunno, i was just rambling.

I can't wait to get this collection so that I can reunite with my old team: Cable, Cyclops, and Wolverine. I'm gonna have me some fun!

More videos like this please!
The outro song always gets stuck in my head for the next hour and a half.
But when's Vanisher Kappa
JeromeTelos you mean Brad Pitt?
JeromeTelos Vanisher is a legit Marvel character, you know that right?
Ryu, Captain Commando, Cable. Do all 3 supers at once. Its damage city.
It's funny that the first time I saw Cable, was in this game. I knew almost nothing from X-men, but I always called Cable an "alternative version of Cyclops with rays in his gun instead of his eyes" or mostly "Cyclops father".
Years later I found out that I wasn't so far from the true. LOL
Max, congratulations. You made me dust off my Dreamcast to play this
I remember back in the days on how to input down up hyper viper...it takes me several months to do it!!! How nostalgic-_-
I love this Video! Do some more like this! More MVC2!
hey bae ;)
We need more of these in the lead up to the fighting collection. Get everyone even more hyped with Cyclops. Ruby, Amingo et Al. breakdowns
Cable only needs one weapon in MvC2. His classic special attack - *GIBBITARR!*
The voicework was so bad in this game lol. It took me a while to figure out that it was supposed to be "Scimitar".
Anyone noticed how Cable’s robotic arm kept switching arms depending on what side of the screen he was on?
Cable...giving little brothers a chance at victory since the year 2000.
Cable moves matches his father's Cyclops on Xmen vs Street Fighter.
Cable comes with the most channels ever!! I'll watch T.V. all day.
Scimitar is my favorite of his moves.
MH_Nova/ZardX ...dude, when he hit you with that fucking stick...
VIOSLAVIA KLEIN yeah man. Shove that lightning rod in the ace
Psimitar was a weapon he used to channel his psychic energy into to give it more damage.
Awesome video, content, commentary & gameplay as ever Max! always really entertaining, engaging & fun to watch :) keep up the stellar work as always dude!.
I've been playing a lot of Cable lately and came across thos video, good shit,
For some reason i remember(incorrectly) that cable had a hyper combo that used his demonic looking arm. It stretched out and hit his opponent like the hyper viper beam
So we're not gonna talk about how his metal arm switches left to right with the side you're on
I ❤ CABLE LOOPS
Loving the analysis vids, loving the marvel content.
MORE MVC2 PLEASE MAX!!!
I learned that there's a Marvel 2 arcade at a mall near me. also this game needed Deadpool.
Deadpool wasnt that big of a deal back then, only supergeeks knew about him.
Yeah Deadpool got ruined by normies
i wouldn't mind seeing more of these types of videos about god tier fighting game characters
You skipped my favorite normal is forward heavy kick that move is god like
the Scimitar thing is from the comics when he got that spear like thing that harness his telekinesis.... thats what i remember
This is the ONLY fighting game that Cable is in and he is one of the MOST POPULAR of them all!
Joshua Lowe well that's not entirely true as cable is also in marvel's mobile fighting game contest of champions as well sure it's not a big budget AAA fighting game but it's still a fighting game non the less.
Thanks, dood. It helped me to use cable more better!
Those poses!
Max, could you make this a regular series for the channel? Memorable characters are what make the fighting game, yo
I really wish I could rebuy MVC2.
Cable had the Psimitar in the late 90's, like during the "The Twelve" storyline. It was part of the push after Columbine to give the superheroes who primarily used guns something else for a while. Like, the Punisher became an angel who used supernatural guns that only hurt "the evil".
It's insane how many tools they gave Cable vs any other new character in this game
How has this game not been re-released for every gen?
I got a feeling just one feeling one day they'll surprise us with a re release for it on current gen and next gen just imagine how much of a fat pay wall they will make.
Cable is awesome in this game! I was pissed when they took him out of marvel vs capcom 3
nick knickle good team
I believe stuff like that is what put so many off mvc 3 for a minute. If Marvel wasnt making all these movies modern Marvel Vs Capcom would be too sick.
that over head punch was my short combo ender
I remember him using the psmitar, to stab Gambit thru the chest in the comics. Since its a telepathic weapon gambit's brain was fooled into thinking he was dead.
Glad 2 c u playing mvc2 still max
MVC2 IS BACK IN EVO!!!
ITS MAHVEL BAYBEEE!!!!
Tiger knee viper beam
You should do one of these to raise awareness for Hayato, Ruby Heart, and maybe Cyclops and Rogue.
All these characters are super sick and deserve to be in the next entry.
Fun fact: Air Hyper Viper Beam x3 was a day 1 combo.
please do more of these vids
Man, I can't wait till cable and deadpool gets added to mvc infinite.. Oh wait
I remember Cable was the whole meta with my school.
Those were the days
Cable was always my favorite character in this game for sure.
