You say that but Ness and Jigglypuff almost didn't make it in Melee and Brawl respectively so you never know. That said, if Sakurai did work on a Vs Capcom game, he would totally put Strider in...
@@MartynAndStuff honestly Strider is like Falcon in that sense where he gets know more from crossovers than their on series. Though at least Strider's series kept getting resurrected while F-Zero sadly hasn't been.
@@mandalorianhunter1 Nah, that's Morrigan she's Capcom's Captain Falcon, if there's a Crossover she always is going to be there, Strider sadly has skipped some of them
if you think about it, Strider is one of, if not the only OG MvC character on the Capcom side that technically originated from a manga, as the games were meant to be adaptations
Yeah I was surprised to learn that the manga was the first media to introduce Strider. It was surprised like when I found out Karin Kanzuki from Street Fighter originated from Sakura’s manga.
A very interesting fact: TJ Storm the one who voices Strider for UMVC3 & MVCI is also the motion capture actor for Legendary's Godzilla which I find pretty neat.
@@TheSeventhForceif Strider ever gets a new game, I really hope they have voice acting this time and they make sure to get TJ Storm to reprise his role as Strider Hiryu for the English dub.
I’m actually kind of surprised that Strider was in Infinite since that game completely ditched obscure characters but then again he is a staple in the MVC series so it makes sense to keep him.
Yeah. Strider basically is the same situation as Captain Falcon and Ness in Smash. You can’t have a Smash without the OG 12 and since he’s been there since the first game, he has seniority
@@carlbloke8797Exactly he’s a staple in the series and is one of the few characters that represents the entire series in my opinion. Which is why I think MVC 4 should focus on adding more obscure characters from both Capcom and Marvel like Brent Turner, Zack & Wiki, Devil Dinosaur, Machine Man just to name a few.
This is a very minor thing, but I really dig the purple screen scenes listing off certain attributes of each game's version of Strider. They remind me a lot of Smash 64's bio screens with each character passively playing different animations on the side. I'd be down with that becoming a mainstay of these videos going forwards.
Good eye, that's actually exactly what they're inspired by! I used to read those character bios over and over as a kid, lol And yeah, it's going to be a video staple going forward, though maybe not initially for Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom; I'm still trying to figure out a green screen solution for that, probably going to involve modding the game somewhat
@TheSeventhForce Sorry for asking this before, but do you take suggestions or requests? Also, have you played BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle or the games associated with it? (BlazBlue, Persona 4 Arena, Under Night In-Birth, RWBY, Arcana Heart, Senran Kagura and Akatsuki Blitzkampf)
We get the famous Capcom ninja. It's interesting he is a collab character with a manga which is why he was not included in vanilla MVC3.; He is one of the faces of the Capcom side so he needs to stay a permanent part of the roster.
It's interesting because Hiryu in MvC is actually a clone of the OG Hiryu. It's pretty crazy. So if Moto Kikaku and Capcom can come to agreements, maybe Capcom can use the Dungeons and Dragons: Shadow of Mystara original characters since D&D is an open license kind of thing. Those characters should appear in a Vs game someday. Anyways, great video. Looking forward to more videos as always. Edit: Never mind, the clone thing might not be true.
Personally, I like to think of MvC strider as a composite of all the different incarnations; He's using the manga/NES design, but specifically uses attacks from the arcade games, and it seems like a lot of his other crossover appearances generally run with that too.
1:03:00 - Strider's long journey of inclusions in crossovers leading to new games is always why I hope that Sengoku BASARA gets its chance in one of these, lol.
I love the detail and dedication to your videos, not only do you go deep into the character’s history but you also include history on the smaller details of said character, whether it be a small cameo in their ending, the meaning of their moves, or even the composition of their music and their composers background. Simply put these videos are the go to for anyone wanting to deep dive into these characters
Amazing Video, you did one of my favorite characters justice. With that Id like to add on one part not mentioned in the video. In his MvC1 ending the song that plays is actually the ending song from the Genesis and other versions of the game. The song starts like the last part of the amazon stage but then it changes after the first few beats play. The ending song is generally overlooked so I thought to bring attention to it.
I still remember the first time I saw Hiryu in MVC1. I was so hyped. My only prior experience was failing miserably in the Strider game. I enjoyed just about every iteration of him in the Vs series. MVCI Strider getting his Lvl1 orbs back was also great. Also, your videos have always been amazing, but they hit different knowing we have the Arcade Collection on the horizon. That and the fact that Capcom and Marvel are working together again. Makes me very hopeful for the future. Keep up the great work, Seventh.
I grew up on the Genesis port and for the longest couldn't get past the second stage, lol. Even then, I saw him in MvC1 for the first time and I was locked in. And _bro_ I can't even begin to describe how good it feels to be able to talk about this series in the present tense. For the first time in years, it feels great to be an MvC fan.
The productor of Street fighter 6, which is the same of mvc 2 collection, said its possible to bring mvc characters to SF too. My mind comes inmediatly to Hiryu, even the lore of SF already have stablished the striders so its a matter of time this man cames as a playable character.
The strider series has such cool designs and concepts Strider's design is so cool looking that most people main him not knowing what game he's even from This series deserves it's own anime honestly
A few CFAS gameplay clips show Strider using his Cypher mostly for specials one of them being an anti-air DP. The fact that Strider, Rival Schools characters, and an SNK guest character were going to be in CFAS really makes me wish it was released.
Thank you, that means a lot to hear! I really tried to step my game up for this one. Going to do what I can to maintain and increase the quality going forward!
7:36 Yay for Mizoguchi 😄 Thanks for the info It is good to learn something new 😄 Fighter's History deserves more respect People only remember that Capcom sued Data East but they don't tell that if Capcom had won, they would have monopolized the entire fighting game industry.
Channel is criminally underrated, especially considering how much effort goes into these vids. fwiw i love these vids and I don't even play ADHD simulator 2
Bro thank you soo fucking much for mentioning gotcha force !!! Most underrated game of all time in my opinion. Such a great game I’m just happy someone remembers it
Strider was the first character I played when I played MvC1 in arcade as a kid. He was too cool, I’m glad he’s still around and his legacy is still strong thanks to zeku.
"I've been waiting for this day! For too long!" (bonus internet points for recognizing this quote) Damn god the wait was worth it! Superb job, as always, but as this was one I've been expecting for a while, it deserves praise. Lova that Strider 2 transition, and the new elements of the videos (like the overview) are really nice and hopefully recurring going forward. Reminds me how much I wish for a new game (or a compilation, I think the NES game is well orverdue a JP release!). Now the trilogy is complete, but there's still plenty of characters I await to see under the limelight. Keep on Stridin'! :o)
And that's your new longest video. As for my thoughts on Strider, I think he's pretty good, his design is cool, his moveset is fun, (Even if I'm not good) and he is a good pick in several fronts, more obscure character, unique playstyle, he's just good all around. I'd definitely want to see him back even if he isn't one of my favorites. I'd probably say this is your best video yet as well, great script, and the editing is on point today. It's also nice to see more mentions to Namco X Capcom. I'd also love to get a Strider collection with 1 and 2, bonus points if they include the Famicom game based on the manga. Heck, if we could get a reprint of the manga and maybe an official translation, that would be awesome too, I'd love to read that.
I was going to mention it in the video (cut it for pacing) but the manga could really use a reprint and global release; there's specifically a gaiden chapter that's incredibly rare and as far as I know, doesn't even have much in the way of scans online. Would be nice to get a wider release for that. And thank you! This video was a long time in the making, but the benefit of that was being able to take what I learned from making other videos going into this one.
Didn't expect this to be an hour long! I watched until the end and it was worth it :3 Also fun fact about Balmung: Balmung also appears in the Fire Emblem series, most notably Genealogy of the Holy War. It also appears in Awakening and in Heroes Oh and BTW my mind was blown when you said that the Hiryu of Strider 1 and 2 are not the same character ;w;
Despite how beloved he is, it's weird capcom never bothers at least porting his own games. Strider 2 and 2014 are bangers, would love having the series in one place. Would make an easy collection since they got a fever for those lately. Or just a new game lol Also fun fact Ton Pu is the inspo for Chun Li. No wonder she's the most utilized strider character after Hiryu himself. I even like her over Chuns usual design
42:38 Ironic that Hasbro JUST released a Deaths Head figure for their Marvel Legends line, hahahaha! Back in the late 80s, early 90s, neither company thought they'd be so tied together through merchandise!
I presume Legion is in reference to the Book of Mark ("I am Legion, for we are many"), in keeping with the grandiose mythical naming scheme of his other supers.
Wait Strider had a sister? And he had to kill her? Why isnt that a game already years ago? I do wanna say, I always wanted Meio to be in Marvel vs Capcom game, and Marvel vs Capcom delivers...as a non playable distance challenge that's shooting projectiles at you. Sigh. One day. Also surprised to find he's based on Sauron because Sauron's physical appearance and even what is he has always been hazy and Grandmaster Meio really...really...REALLY reminds me of The Emperor from Star Wars. I mean...It's just a dark cloak and a messed up face it's not like they put Goat Eyes on Meio but still. Then again if I had directly cribbed from Star Wars I would also not be in a rush to tell everybody.
I was a tekken kid growing up, 2d fighters were "lame" (not even 3d ew), but seeing cyclops and wolvering in xvsf got me interested, then strider/captain commando in marvel 1 hit me with the propaganda and ive been stuck ever since. Still love tekken, but capcom has had a stranglehold on me for years
Kizuna Encounter... Why haven't they put the soundtrack on any official platform for that game? It's really good. A channel uploaded a lot of SNK music could've done it, but they got deleted for posting KOFXV music
SNK seems to have a lot of hurdles with some of their soundtracks. IIRC, they don't even completely own the arranged soundtracks for most of their games; probably why it took so long for any of them to show up on streaming.
*DBZ Abridged Vegeta in the distance* "He's so damn cool!" Seriously, Hiryu is just the peak "cool ninja" character and like many of the lesser-known MvC 1 roster, was really my first exposure to him and yeah, I was predictably wowed at first sight xD This is also a reminder that I finally need to lock in and play all the Strider games (I already own most of them) AND finally play the story mode of MvCI, because the camaraderie between him and Gamora is just one of those wonderful things that we come to crossovers for. Also, I love the new little cutaway breakdown with the stats etc, it's a great addition!
I definitely recommend it! Strider 1 & 2 are great, 2014 is a shockingly solid Metroidvania and the NES game, while jank and a little rough around the edges is still a good time (And directly inspired the 2014 game IIRC) And thanks! It's something I've been wanting to do for a while but only recently figured out how to go about making. It'll be a regular element of these character videos going forward!
Probably my favorite Capcom character ever! There is so much to love about Strider Hiryu, whether is his concept or design. He will never ever stop at any rate until he accomplishes his mission, mainly freeing the world from the tyrannical dictatorship of Grandmaster Meio. The Cypher has to be some of the best, and one of my favorites weapons in all fiction because that tonfa shaped sword design and that awesome "SCHING!" sound effect every time he swings it! If its there any more Capcom, either related or centric, crossover in the future, Hiryu is the character I'll always cherish and champion to get in at any opportunity! He will, and always, leave Eurasia alive.
Didn't the Reavers make up several bosses in the Punisher arcade game? If so it could also be a neat little callback to the first Capcom Marvel game as well.
I remember being fixated on Strider when I was younger especially in MVC3. I think his character and concept has a lot of potential. Capcom should try rebooting the series into 3D and adapting the original manga storyline.
Strider is one of those characters I will make an attempt to learn and the one i got the furthest with is in marvel 3, only to drop him for one really dumb reason and it's I also play spencer and spencer has a really hard time converting off the vajra assist without giving up his OTG so his damage suffers.
ah strider, the game that i just love to play and suck at. but man was he a cool character in mvc though i did eventually give up on playing him, i am too hasty with playing fighting games
Glass Cannon, eh? Well, that didn't bother me one bit when playing one of the greatest ninja characters of all of fiction, next to the likes of another super ninja, Ryu Hayabusa. Strider Hiryu deserves a place in the pantheon of Capcom games besides fighting games. Stoic and badass to the last. "Life or death awaits. A Strider is never certain." - Strider Hiryu
One thing that I hope will happen with MVC 4 is that Marvel will be a lot easier to work with because one of my biggest issue with Marvel is how corporate they are because Infinite came out around the time when the MCU was huge and while I respect the fans those movies have, I will admit that those films are admittedly pretty corporate and I feel like that business outlook might also be reason why the roster for Infinite (particular the Marvel side) seems so boring because instead of picking characters that were either cool or unique for a MVC game they just pick characters that were popular from films at the time and not because they were characters people wanted in the first place. My point is that Disney's monopoly has affected Infinite's development (and also the film industry in general) and I'm hoping that with MVC 4 will feel more like a true sequel to MVC 3 and hopefully Disney will hands off this time and actually let Capcom put in more unique Marvel characters this time.
Since you brought up Muppets I was wondering if a world based on the Muppets would work because Disney owns the rights to the Jim Henson’s characters and I think it would be cool seeing Sora, Donald and Goofy teaming up with Kermit to fight heartless while also sporting Jim Henson character designs as well. I also think the Kingdom Hearts series could use some more worlds based live action movies and TV shows because so far the only worlds based on live action in the KH series is Pirates of the Caribbean and Tron so with KH 4 I like to see more worlds based on live action properties.
@@TheSeventhForce I think the Muppets would work better as mini-game world rather than a world that ties in with the main story. Also not to repeat myself from a previous comment thread but since KH 3 introduce worlds based on Pixar films I would like to see KH 4 introduce a mini game based on Pixar’s Cars because while the movie Cars is a pretty divisive I do think it also would make for a fun mini-game world where Sora, Donald and Goofy should sport designs from the film and doing various small mini-games like racing against Lightning McQueen or doing tractor tipping with Mater.
I would like to have the best video game ninjas in one game. Here are some honorable mentions, Hiryu, Musashi, Hayabusa, Yoshimitsu, Hanzo, Goemon, Kage, Scorpion/Sub-Zero and the robot Ninja from Ninja Warriors among others Also Kunoichis too.
I can see why you said you had to rewrite the script a couple times . Cause this analysis be long. And you know what you’ve done this famous hiryu justice. I can’t imagine an MVC without him.
"Cool it's that badass ninja- OH that's an hour long. That's an hour long"
Just like the smash bros original 12, you can’t have a MvC game without Strider Hiryu
You say that but Ness and Jigglypuff almost didn't make it in Melee and Brawl respectively so you never know.
That said, if Sakurai did work on a Vs Capcom game, he would totally put Strider in...

Tomita was involved in the creation of the early Gundam VS games? They need to build a statue of this man.
Right?
This is a very minor thing, but I really dig the purple screen scenes listing off certain attributes of each game's version of Strider.

SNK seems to have a lot of hurdles with some of their soundtracks. IIRC, they don't even completely own the arranged soundtracks for most of their games; probably why it took so long for any of them to show up on streaming.
*DBZ Abridged Vegeta in the distance* "He's so damn cool!"
Seriously, Hiryu is just the peak "cool ninja" character and like many of the lesser-known MvC 1 roster, was really my first exposure to him and yeah, I was predictably wowed at first sight xD
This is also a reminder that I finally need to lock in and play all the Strider games (I already own most of them) AND finally play the story mode of MvCI, because the camaraderie between him and Gamora is just one of those wonderful things that we come to crossovers for.
Also, I love the new little cutaway breakdown with the stats etc, it's a great addition!
I definitely recommend it! Strider 1 & 2 are great, 2014 is a shockingly solid Metroidvania and the NES game, while jank and a little rough around the edges is still a good time (And directly inspired the 2014 game IIRC)
And thanks! It's something I've been wanting to do for a while but only recently figured out how to go about making. It'll be a regular element of these character videos going forward!
42:40 RARE DEATHS HEAD MENTION!!
This video has one of the best Touhou hijacks I've seen
Sick gotcha force music. Please cover Super Gotcha Force at some point. Subbed
5:57
wait a minute. i know that music.
dude, you a fan of "gotcha force"?
I am!
@@TheSeventhForce
i'll let denzel voice my thoughts on that.
denzel: my nigga! ha ha!
It's times like this where I wish YT had gifs, I'd just post the training day one lmao
The character that invites anyone to try out the game since he is so cool!
Probably my favorite Capcom character ever! There is so much to love about Strider Hiryu, whether is his concept or design. He will never ever stop at any rate until he accomplishes his mission, mainly freeing the world from the tyrannical dictatorship of Grandmaster Meio. The Cypher has to be some of the best, and one of my favorites weapons in all fiction because that tonfa shaped sword design and that awesome "SCHING!" sound effect every time he swings it! If its there any more Capcom, either related or centric, crossover in the future, Hiryu is the character I'll always cherish and champion to get in at any opportunity!
He will, and always, leave Eurasia alive.
07:26 All I can say is "Mizoguchi WIIIINSSSS!"
I will never forget Mizoguchi and his screams
"TAKE A LOOK AT THAT!!!"
"THESPIO!! THESPIO!! THESPIO!!"
😂
Didn't the Reavers make up several bosses in the Punisher arcade game? If so it could also be a neat little callback to the first Capcom Marvel game as well.
I remember being fixated on Strider when I was younger especially in MVC3. I think his character and concept has a lot of potential. Capcom should try rebooting the series into 3D and adapting the original manga storyline.
WE'RE EATING GOOD WITH THIS ONE
32:14 That is a zesty looking picture right there.
Lets gooi, Strider is an important character for the franchise, im know him because mvc 1

12:46
I've said this numerous times and I'll say it again: Capcom and SNK cannot escape from crossing paths
48:50
Also worth nothing is the sword "Brion" out of Live A Live, so I suppose that tracks.
Strider is one of those characters I will make an attempt to learn and the one i got the furthest with is in marvel 3, only to drop him for one really dumb reason and it's I also play spencer and spencer has a really hard time converting off the vajra assist without giving up his OTG so his damage suffers.
ah strider, the game that i just love to play and suck at. but man was he a cool character in mvc though i did eventually give up on playing him, i am too hasty with playing fighting games
Don't feel bad, I generally suck with him too! Infinite's the only game where I'm kinda okay with him lol
🎉
Oh wow, thanks!
Glass Cannon, eh? Well, that didn't bother me one bit when playing one of the greatest ninja characters of all of fiction, next to the likes of another super ninja, Ryu Hayabusa. Strider Hiryu deserves a place in the pantheon of Capcom games besides fighting games. Stoic and badass to the last.
"Life or death awaits. A Strider is never certain." - Strider Hiryu
Low health doesn't mean anything if your opponent can't touch you! 😁
I believe the manga version states that Hiryu had a special procedure done that allows him to not age and live for a long time.
Strider Hiryu is the a character where you can hit all his low to high moves/normals plus special moves. Combo on the floor.
JESUS ITS SO LONG
I was expecting it to be one of the longer videos, but I def wasn't expecting it to be the longest video I've ever done 🤷♀️
If you look closely, one of tong pooh s frames mirrors one of the frames from chunli s tencho kyaku move
Double helix also worked on the 2013 killer instinct remake
One thing that I hope will happen with MVC 4 is that Marvel will be a lot easier to work with because one of my biggest issue with Marvel is how corporate they are because Infinite came out around the time when the MCU was huge and while I respect the fans those movies have, I will admit that those films are admittedly pretty corporate and I feel like that business outlook might also be reason why the roster for Infinite (particular the Marvel side) seems so boring because instead of picking characters that were either cool or unique for a MVC game they just pick characters that were popular from films at the time and not because they were characters people wanted in the first place.
My point is that Disney's monopoly has affected Infinite's development (and also the film industry in general) and I'm hoping that with MVC 4 will feel more like a true sequel to MVC 3 and hopefully Disney will hands off this time and actually let Capcom put in more unique Marvel characters this time.
A second.
NO! A third rate!
Make it downloadable please.😁
Since you brought up Muppets I was wondering if a world based on the Muppets would work because Disney owns the rights to the Jim Henson’s characters and I think it would be cool seeing Sora, Donald and Goofy teaming up with Kermit to fight heartless while also sporting Jim Henson character designs as well.
I also think the Kingdom Hearts series could use some more worlds based live action movies and TV shows because so far the only worlds based on live action in the KH series is Pirates of the Caribbean and Tron so with KH 4 I like to see more worlds based on live action properties.
I actually wouldn't mind Muppets being a more slice of life/mini game oriented world to kind of fill the hole 100 Acre Woods leaves.
@@TheSeventhForce I think the Muppets would work better as mini-game world rather than a world that ties in with the main story.
Also not to repeat myself from a previous comment thread but since KH 3 introduce worlds based on Pixar films I would like to see KH 4 introduce a mini game based on Pixar’s Cars because while the movie Cars is a pretty divisive I do think it also would make for a fun mini-game world where Sora, Donald and Goofy should sport designs from the film and doing various small mini-games like racing against Lightning McQueen or doing tractor tipping with Mater.
I would like to have the best video game ninjas in one game. Here are some honorable mentions, Hiryu, Musashi, Hayabusa, Yoshimitsu, Hanzo, Goemon, Kage, Scorpion/Sub-Zero and the robot Ninja from Ninja Warriors among others
Also Kunoichis too.
Hanzo the one from Captain Commando?
The character Maximilian won't let die.
I can see why you said you had to rewrite the script a couple times . Cause this analysis be long. And you know what you’ve done this famous hiryu justice. I can’t imagine an MVC without him.
Now that you mentioned Capcom Fighting Jam, are you going to do a video on Ingrid?
More than likely at some point in the future!
Do you plan on doing a video for every character that has ever been on a versus game?
That's the plan!
strider
hiryu

Hence why I always dubbed this Hiryu's personal BGM, like if you encounter him in an JRPG or something similar to that.
Hearing that Gotcha Force music makes me wanna get my Gamecube out of storage 😭
Edit: I FUCKING LOVE Gotcha Force lol
Wait, I thought cable was “slain” what a pleasant surprise.
Can't keep a time traveler down for too long, I suppose!
Still Better Than Most Stealthy Super Smash Bros. characters sorry Greninja from Pokemon a small W. For MVC
Does the Daily Bugle Stage affect the wall cling in UMvC3, since the stage moves up?
How does C. Viper know Strider???
Im waiting for iceman and Spencer
