Like they could’ve just reused Zero Akuma and said he’s a new Sentinel based on Akuma.

    I so wish the Shoto install came back in follow up games for Ryu.
    Yeah sure we got the characters themself sometimes, but I love to think of that being explained as Ryu's mastery of his fighting style. Tapping into the Dark Hado, his friendship and rivalry with Ken, his own methodology. on the fly, In the more recent games I could just imagine the sauce he could have being able to spend a bar to switch mid combo.
    Hell you could have it if he's already in 'normal' state if he does the normal switch that's what gets him Denjin install.
    I miss when they were willing to mix up/play with The World Warrior.

  • @Lastjustice
    @Lastjustice Місяць тому

    Xmen Vs Street fighter is one of favorites of the VS series. It has a very diverse roster for the number of characters, and is so much fun to play. I loved how Rogue could steal moves from all the regular cast, giving her a very unique moveset. (compared to the later games where she just gains a different stat from absorbing the other character.) Apocalyspe is such a cool last boss, as he has the booming voice from the animated series, giving him this threatening prescence.Sure he isn't that hard to beat, but the presentation is top notch for this game. I still play the crap out of it to this day.
    Marvel Vs Street Fighter really did feel phoned in compared to the true effort we saw in Xmen VS SF. When I first saw I wasn't sure was some sort of hacked version of the previous games. Cyber Akuma was a rough boss, but I learned how manhandle him as wolverine. (drill claw let's you stand on top of him especially when he does his airfireballs.) I'd basically beat the game with everyone paired with Wolverine as I'd wear them down and let the other character finish him off. The rooster for Mvs SF and MvC both started have too many shototypes. (even with Ryu replacing 3 of them.)
    MvC 2 obviously gets you all cast you'd ever want, but I feel like the 3 on 3 made the game messier as I liked the 2 on 2 set up better. They also removed the medium strength punches and kicks which never felt right to me.

    Ayo, its a game I played!
    Akuma and Ryu, Team Beam Dream Scene!
    Though in MvC1 I ran either Ken or Dan instead of Akuma (for obvious reasons (Can't have 3 Kens))

    "Sleazy and lame" is MSHvSF in a nutshell. And I say that with fondness for the game, as it was my first Versus game (I didn't have easy access to XSF, plus I wasn't interested; I wasn't interested in MSFvSF either, but it was 5 minutes away in my laundramat and everyone else was playing it, so I followed suit).
    XSF was Capcom taking a hatchet job to MSH to try and remove the infinites in _that_ (Flying Screens everywhere!), which only made the infinite siutation worse!
    Also, the presence of the SF characters actually messed up the far mor delivate balance MSF had wjth regards to combos and super usage - in MSH, super gain was pretty slow, not counting the gem that refilled your super gauge. Supers were strong, but they weren't meant to be used in _every_ combo, so you relied more on regular chains until you could land a combo with a super.
    The SF characters weren't designed for the Marvel engine (though Dhalsim and Bison adapted well), so to put them more on even footing, Capcom gavw them reallt strong supers ane jacked up thw gauge generation so you could always have access ro them (this was before the game became an infinite fest). But this also meant that the X-characters gad far more access to supers as well. So the game degenerated into air combo into super x N, which was a far cry from the more varied combo routes in its predecessor (again, infinites notwithstanding).
    I really wish we got a Marvel Superheroes 2 or XCOTA2. But oh well. The genie can't be put back in the bottle at this point.
