glad to give you some good games :) psylocke is underused, but she's good not broken. I used to play only spiderman and wolverine but the game is too nice to settle for that, I'm not that competitive anymore and over simplifies such a beautiful looking game. respect justin ✌️
This really makes you appreciate the spritework from capcom, the Psylocke sprite is so old yet it animates so fluidly and beautifully. She was only really in COTA and MSH, as an assist in MVC1 and basically primarily an assist character in MVC2 so she never really got a lot action despite being very popular. 3:32 I've never noticed that sprite of Psylocke activating the gem and it just looks so good. Also have to remember the context, this wasn't marvel and xmen now where it's this huge cultural phenomena, marvel was practically begging people to use their IPs and they were on the verge of bankrupcy. Capcom really paid a lot of respect in these versus games to Xmen and marvel as a whole, you really have to respect it.
Marvel series has the best sprite and animation work not only of Capcom history up to the mid 90s but probably all 2d fgs up to that time. It's true that there were visually impressive works from other 2d fg companies at the time but the thing is that they have one aspect that stand out... like Art of Fighting 2 sprites (came out shortly before Super Turbo) but it has poor animation, or Samurai Shodown 2 stages and art quality but the rest isnt as striking. But Marvel had very high quality sprites, and animation, and art quality (since MSH), and stage design and stage art quality - it literally did all great, like a game character that totally maxed out all stats. It was only surpassed by SF3.
It's fun telling people how much of a nobody Iron Man was before RDJ and Marvel Studios made a movie. Back then you were Spider-Man, one of the Fantastic Four, a member of the X-Men or no one knew you outside of comics.
NGL that Psylocke was super impressive - but I am LOLing at Justin's reactions. It perfectly encapsulates how I felt when I saw some of the things that Psylocke was doing - and this is coming from someone who's played MSH for years.
OH SNAP THAT WAS JUNO!!! Friend of mine from a decade ago! Very talented in many fighting games. The fact that he was giving Justin Wong trouble is a testament to how good he is. You love to see it. Man I wish I could get in touch with him. Great video Jwongg.
@@JuN0 long time no see man! I still remember playing UMVC3 with you back on Xbox 360, chatting with you and JLW, playing KOF and other VS games. Hope you're doing well, and that you remember me.
Unpopular opinion, but in many ways this is my favourite game in the franchise, it just looks so damn good. The sprites are super crisp, the animations are sick and the stages are super detailed. Love this game, love it.
Yea, you don't appreciate how good these sprites are until you look at a game like this. I feel like because the MVC2 screen is so big and wide, and the game is so fast you don't get to appreciate the frames, then you watch matches like this with all the moves and movement and gem activations and you really see it.
@@tonywong8134 On the other hand MSH wins in presentation, art quality in non gameplay instances (opening, portraits, win screens, endings etc), stage design and stage graphics quality, and soundtrack. Maybe the cuts were necessary for doing all that. Like with the other cps2 sequels we see more little cuts of frames and minor increments in roster size, but heavy expansion of gameplay. First of all tag, then assists, and all chars getting more supers than in COTA. So probably the devs were working on tight limits on the cps2 and had to juggle limitations and little removals for the sake of adding other stuff... just like rotating characters instead of having gradually bigger rosters (which was possible in 1v1 games from the same time like SFA3).
The Short of this captures the moment better imo cuz it shows JWong's reaction where he kicks back a little like the round is over and suddenly....panic mode.
I play Juno all the time. Whenever we're both on. We play X-Men COA a lot. His Sentinel is ridiculous. He's a pretty nice guy also. We tend to see eye to eye on a lot of things. Way to go BRO! WIGGITY WASHED!
@@JuN0 Anytime! I never knew you were a Besty fan in MSH! We need to run some sets in MSH. She's my girl and of course, the Doctor. HMU when you wanna play.
Goes to show you tiers mean nothing. Bruce Lee said it best when he said "I fear not the man who has practiced 10000 kicks, but I do fear the man who has practiced one kick 10000 times."
Nah, tiers matter, it's just that this game closes the gap with gems and tech. Tell Psylocke to meet you as a point character in MVC2 against the top tiers, it ain't happening because the gap is too large.
Whenever I play or think of Marvel Super Heroes, I think of a old friend of mine and Justin may know him because they used to play at CF. His name was Jason Hall and it was like watching a artist draw playing MSH. I love this game and DAMN YOU SPIDER-MAN MAINS!
Might be an unpopular opinion, but this is my favorite marvel fighting game. Top notch presentation, tight controls and fun gameplay. I dumped a lot of quarters into this cabinet back in the day.
Do you think the arcade system will ever come back as a business model? Also how expensive do you think this game was to make, since it's all sprites😂?
I pretty much only play alpha 3 and super turbo but love watching all your old school fighting game content. Seeing stuff like this makes me believe that fighting games are easily some of the most replayable games. I love seeing people master the seldom played characters because it just shows more depth to the game. 20 years from now there will still be a large following for these games because they are timeless and so much fun to play/watch.
You're not wrong about replayability. Speaking of Alpha 3, once upon a time, I took time to learn every character in the entire roster... At least on the PS1 version
I really like Psylocke and this Juno guy is on a whole different level. Some of the stuff he was doing was seriously unreal. Mad respect and keep rocking!
When the dude said he used to play in Chinatown too, it really gave me The Fresh Prince of Bel Air vibes when Will plays against another kid that grew up playing ball in the hood.
90s memories indeed.. When I was a kid I worked at an arcade in the mall and I'd play this Marvel/Capcom game on my breaks. Lol I was unstoppable with Psylocke.
the sprite work of the old capcom games are just chefs kiss~ they looks so good and it transfers 100 from comics to motion... imagine them animating something that doesnt exist yet.
I remember throwing quarters in this game back in the day, beating it with iron man , spamming, unibeam, smart bombs then hitting a full on PROTON CANNON for the win
Would you guys say that playing a "low tier" at high levels is more focused on knowing the enemy instead of the character itself? Like to a stupid amount
surprise your NOW finding out about this wong. everyone who have played the original arcade version knows about this for years. sadly she cant do that anymore in the future arcade games like MvSF or MvC2 new age of heroes but this was vintage psylocke in the 90's!
I remember always stepping into my favorite arcade, Aladdin's Castle, ready to play this game! This was back in the 90s, back when I was reading about Justin in strategy guides. Today I have learned what I always thought: Psylocke is an absolute fucking BEAST in this game! I can't wait to get Fightcade set up so I can play this again!
I live on long island I actually knew people who would go into the city to CTF to go try and see Justin or play against him haha. This one guy Sin (or Syn?) used to make his own arcade sticks for dreamcast and sell them. He called them Sin sticks lol
I cannot believe he honestly thought this of Psylocke. This game is where I took notice and she became a favorite. Then MVC2 just made here even better.
If this Psylocke was in Avengers, Thanos would've gotten 0 gems. She eatin' gems like skittles.
Thanos would’ve treated her like Gamora! 😆
th-cam.com/video/1pWZUHHFRnk/w-d-xo.html
'Eating gems like Skittles' 😅 love that!
"Hey man I used to play in chinatown too" has to be the rawest callout I've ever seen lol
lmao one of the best I’ve seen in a long time
Will you explain it too me. Is he saying Hey man? You're not the only one good at the game.
4:25
glad to give you some good games :) psylocke is underused, but she's good not broken. I used to play only spiderman and wolverine but the game is too nice to settle for that, I'm not that competitive anymore and over simplifies such a beautiful looking game. respect justin ✌️
I'm proud of you for holding your own boo ^_^
Nice playing!
You were schmovin, I didn't realize Psylocke had this sort of potential either
That Psylocke player was like, "I play video games too, Justin Wong!"

That's a really long way of saying "that ass look good"
The quality of sprite artwork from X-Men COTA up to MvC2 really makes the likes of MvC3/UMvC3 and MvCI look awful in comparison.
The narrative of her being a primary assist character in MVC2 is false.

Mine too. I wish there was a sequel.
XCOTA was much better animated. They cut out a lot of frames and animations from Psylocke in this game vs XCOTA.
And the music , many good themes in this game .

Nice to see so great performance of a Psylocke player.
GG's both
Psylocke! the real waifu ❤
*Cries in Rogue*
Morrigan,chun li/cammy,Felicia is the best team
FACTS
The original waifu!
she is so THICC
I’ve been using psylocke for 25 years. She’s always been the truth. Good matches
Jim Lee's Psylocke....given life by Akiman and the Capcom team of the 90s!❤ who could ask for a more perfect and sexy fusion?
I'm a psylocke main and omg I had no idea she was capable of this off to the hyperbolic time chamber for me ggs to the both of you

He wild for popping the speed gem and setting you up for that rock lee primary MvC lotus 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Goes to show you tiers mean nothing. Bruce Lee said it best when he said "I fear not the man who has practiced 10000 kicks, but I do fear the man who has practiced one kick 10000 times."
I remember another Bruce Lee quote: "Your tier list is trash."
I remember when Deebo in Friday said, "What tier list?!"
Fear the man who's been still grinding out on a 1995 game
And there's another Bruce Lee quote: "tiers matter dude, learn how to play"
Nah, tiers matter, it's just that this game closes the gap with gems and tech. Tell Psylocke to meet you as a point character in MVC2 against the top tiers, it ain't happening because the gap is too large.
That psylocke was mad inspiring
Thanks bro
@Jun0 i like the game you play.
@@shaydesofblue2281 its not for everyone 😆 these old games got a lot of grime
@@JuN0 get that ass banned
I LOVE this game...that Psylocke was TOO GOOD...I have NEVER seen that side-switching rapid dash maneuver before...
Oh man, I remember that stream. Chat was roasting Justin for losing to Psylocke several times until he figured out the pattern
Whenever I play or think of Marvel Super Heroes, I think of a old friend of mine and Justin may know him because they used to play at CF. His name was Jason Hall and it was like watching a artist draw playing MSH. I love this game and DAMN YOU SPIDER-MAN MAINS!
My sweatiest opponent in the local arcade was a guy playing a mean Psylocke. I still have cold sweats when I hear that KOCHOU GAKURA.
I’ve never seen someone utilize gems so efficiently, crazy. Y’all should run it back
Old school Capcom is a whole VIBE... especially when you see high-level gameplay
You know the players who are good have hands made of steel
That is a God-tier Psylocke 😁👍👍
10:42 …. 👈That is an advance gameplay… This guy is an expert 😁😁👍👍👍
I wanted to thank the editor of this video! I rock with the meme curation, the audio. 🙏🏾

That Psylocke was godlike😱 spectacular matches👌
I really like Psylocke and this Juno guy is on a whole different level. Some of the stuff he was doing was seriously unreal. Mad respect and keep rocking!
Editing at 7:35 has me in tears bro; how is he able to get a grab there? wtf
10:40 Seems like Justin got Daigo parry again in MSH this time XD
Psylocke and spiderman have always been my faves from back in the day. I felt like MvC3 ruined there value and nerfed them.
Wow that guy has some Cool corner carry and resets!!! I miss MSH times...
When the dude said he used to play in Chinatown too, it really gave me The Fresh Prince of Bel Air vibes when Will plays against another kid that grew up playing ball in the hood.
Omg whoever edited this great fucking job. Grade A perfection
To be honest, I wouldn't mind losing to Psylocke
Her moves were always great! I just hated that he biggest weakness was her health!
With Ninjutsu's invincible startup and psyflash, you shouldn't be getting hit.
I used to main her in the arcade. She is execution heavy but fun to play.
Sorry that happened to ya, J-Dub, but you had to be taught that lesson about sleeping on Psylocke
Jesus the timing on the subscribe gif was perfect! The slap and de cooking totally synched.
Lmfao your face at 3:30 was priceless. 😂😂😂
Awesome content always a pleasure to see those games ive played when I was a kid.
Fighting games is life ❤
I've always loved Osylocke in these franchises. So I'm glad to see someone using her beautifully.
You have a PO Box I can send this donut cushion to, bc dat a$$ was spanked! 😂 Great Vid as per the usual!
Damn that Psylocke player is a beast
This was the most satisfying video I watched in this channel. Definitely a treat.
This game looks stupendous at high level. Wow
The foreshadowing lol. Loved the editing on this one
She’s so much fun in MVC2, I feel like she dies so quick tho 😂
I love her teleport jutsu!
I used to play Psylocke back in the day. One of favorites from this game.
The stages on this game are soooooo dope 💯💯💯
I was laughing so hard, thanks for sending me to work on a great note! You tha 🐐
psylocke with the anime reversal at the end!
Protag: "that's it! I won!"
Antag: "I've been waiting for this moment..."
Woa this bring me back to the 90s, Happy to see that people still playing this gem.
90s memories indeed..
When I was a kid I worked at an arcade in the mall and I'd play this Marvel/Capcom game on my breaks. Lol I was unstoppable with Psylocke.

LOVE seeing muh favorite female marvel character do her thing :D
Best Marvel fighting game ever. If it wasn't so broken with loops and infinites, it would be perfect.
But all them are broken
i never play psylocke in marvel but when she playable in MVC2…that’s wow mr. wong she in one of the best assist(anti-air type) 😄
10:10 Hbomberguy I see you. That rabbit hole from Oof to Tommy Talarico. Holy crap.
I feel like it's a testament to Justin's sportsmanship that "This player owned me so bad" is a full fledged genre of video on his channel.
I remember throwing quarters in this game back in the day, beating it with iron man , spamming, unibeam, smart bombs then hitting a full on PROTON CANNON for the win
Now I know what the hell Psylocke is saying during that super
Would you guys say that playing a "low tier" at high levels is more focused on knowing the enemy instead of the character itself? Like to a stupid amount
I love watching Justin win, *but*...I >also< love watching top-tiers lose XD Beautifully animated game, great vid, as always.
dang i just learned a lot about Psylocke! can she do all that in other games?
@6:26 woe...!!! that slap look real! 😮
I love this game and I always played psylocke.
A tip for a Psylocke beginner?
10:44 another in sync "WHAT!?" with Justin.
Played this on release and I NEVER saw that.
surprise your NOW finding out about this wong. everyone who have played the original arcade version knows about this for years. sadly she cant do that anymore in the future arcade games like MvSF or MvC2 new age of heroes but this was vintage psylocke in the 90's!
Her and Shuma were my go to characters in this game.
Fantastic matches! Loved to see this game I played during childhood at a level I didn't even think possible.
3:23 goat gettin styled on lmao gg
awesome video!!
I've never seen someone this good at psylocke.
I love MSH. And dude, I remember that facing against that Time Gem HK loop. Giving me PTSD lol

Some people get so good in playing with a character it makes us think how was some combos even possible to perform.
*You Underestimate Her Power...*
What are you playing this on? Cause i want this. SNK Vs.Capcom 2, and Marvel Vs.Capcom 2.
I think he uses Fightcade for old school games.
love these videos, just takes me back, like im watching all the players at the arcades just duking it out
psylocke was THE character growing up at my arcades. glad she still shining
That was so dope!! love the video man.
I cannot believe he honestly thought this of Psylocke. This game is where I took notice and she became a favorite. Then MVC2 just made here even better.
In all my years of shooting the shits with my friends in this game, I’ve never seen so many stones get used in 1 match lmao
He was hoping for a battle… he didn’t know he was going to WAR!? 😂
What Ironman doing at 2:55?
Vibing in reverse
Used to be a big time player of all the marvel capcom crossover titles. Just getting back into it, where can I find competition like this?
"I used to play in Chinatown". Anyone NYC knew to avoid Chinatown unless they was looking to get cooked.
This is VERY AMUSING, Justin! Very Amusing! 🤣
OMG!! I love this game!!!! The art and spund design are spectacular! I don't care for its descendants but this one and the XMen before it were GREAT
You know JW is on tilt when his voice goes through reverse puberty!
i wonder if that's the same Juno that showed maxdood the ropes for xmen cota...
It is
What’s the theme at 10:18 ?? 😢
