I figured I was probably morally obligated to bring up OMD if I was going to speak on Mephisto at length lmao Tried to make sure I didn't just focus on that, though!
it's such an insanely messed up things to happen to spider man out of the long list of ways he's been fucked over by writers over the years that it ranks near the top. Just saying the words Satan made spider man get divorced is so completely ridiculous it would be a mistake not to mention even if he's more of a main villain for ghost rider or silver surfer
It’s funny how Blackheart appeared in this series long before Ghost Rider, and when Ghost Rider finally shows up in both 3 and Infinite, Blackheart is absent
Blackheart and Shuma Gorath legitimately threw me off as a kid because i wasn't exposesd to either of them in Marvel media and wasn't aware of their comic book appearances. But BH looks freaking sick, has an iconic stage, and is scary af. If MvC returns BH is one of my personal picks that hope returns along with Ghost Rider.
Blackheart is one of the first fighting game characters that introduced me to the concept of a "newb killer." A college friend used him on his MvC2 team and always wrecked shop. I was very new to fighting games at the time, and it left me a negative association with the character lol. While I'm still ass at Marvel games, I think I've gotten to the point where I can appreciate how cool Blackheart is.
I would argue even some Marvel fans didn't know him either. I was an x-men and spidey comic reader back in the day but it wasn´t until Marvel Super Heroes that it learned about Blackheart
I think it's really funny to recommend a single comic for Blackheart so you can justify going "also go read daredevil, like, all of it, i'm not gonna get to say it later so i'm doing it now." Fair and morally correct, really. I kind of immediately want to point to Dorm feeling like a sort of stand-in for Blackheart in the later games, being another big body zoner with a massive multihit pillar special that often fights Doctor Strange and is generally demonic. It's probably superficial, but they definitely have similar vibes and some of Dorm's spells, especially the combined Destruction+Creation spells, remind me of stuff like Armageddon.
mephisto actually has unique winquotes when you win a fight as him. "I am the malevolence, named mephisto" "Now I tell you a truth, your soul belongs to me!"
Ah, yes, Blackheart. I’ll never forget the first time I fought him in Marvel 2. What with my cousin repeatedly using 5HK on me, and me not knowing how to block. It’s practically burned into my memory at this point.
The music is honestly the part of making these videos I pore over the most, and I spent the last month or two trying to figure out the music setlist for this one in particular. Didn't get the idea to use Dance of Illusions for the Mephisto section until a few days ago, lol. I'm glad people enjoy the music choices though, validates all the effort I put into finding the perfect songs!
I binge watched this whole series last week. The Saki video appeard in my recommended feed and then I just watched all of your videos lol. Big fan of your content, keep it up!
He's also a boss in hell from Marvel Ultimate Alliance, which I've considered being on the coolest appearances after playing religiously Marvel Superheroes VS Street Fighter on my PS1
I loved this and I'm glad you covered so much of Mefisto, because I always wondered why he was just a pallet swap considering his most popular design. Hopefully Iron Man / Warmachine's differences a d theme songs get a good break down like...Tony literally took Rodey's theme in MVC3
@@TheSeventhForce You covering Iron Man and War Machine together like Dan and Joe. Given how much overlap there is between them thanks to that licensing headache, it only makes sense to cover both Armored Avengers in one video.
Honestly I can't wait to see him in the MCU Sad he didn't get to return for later entries especially when Ghost Rider actually became PLAYABLE. It never makes any sense
One correction. "One More Day" has nothing to do with the world forgetting Peter's identity as Spiderman. That was during the story "One Moment in Time" where Strange, Tony, and Reed use their know how's to put the world under a spell that blocks people's memory of the knowledge of Spiderman identity. I don't think we know what MJ's stipulation was. Still a great Video.
I could've sworn JMS or someone at Marvel editorial mentioned MJ's stipulation was the identity thing before OMIT changed it to Strange's spell a couple years later, but I'm probably misremembering (and OMIT is the canon explanation all the same now). Appreciate the correction!
@@TheSeventhForce I think it was revealed but then they backtracked or retconed it? My memory on that detail is vague because I don't want to read One More Day again. lol So I'm just sorta skimming through old internet posts and see what I find. And no prob. 👌
I love that Blackheart and Shuma-Gorath were picked to be on the roster because they looked cool/unique compared to another guy/girl in capes/tights, relevancy be damned.
I always thought of Blackheart as a very cool character with a tall imposing sprite that makes him very intimidating. Learning about him and many other Marvel characters is very fun as someone who doesn’t read comics that much, his demon powers are interesting but can be a bit hard to properly utilize for beginners, which you explain how to use them to great effect in this video, I never knew about his meter drain mechanic in MSH, that’s something new I learned today!
I may love the 2007 Ghost Rider film, but I won't defend its lousy take on Blackheart. Doesn't help Wes Bentley was knee-deep in addiction during filming.
First time I saw Blackheart was when my cousin had me over when he bought Marvel Super Heroes for his PS1. We both thought Blackheart looked cool as tits.
Honestly the Mephisto recolor on Blackheart looks really nice, somehow it can read as it being him with those yellow eyes and both colors being completely red with just the highlights changing
I'm ashamed to say I legitimately had nightmares of this character as a kid. Not because he's particularly hard to play against or anything, it's that he was actually scary to me.
Dormammu is fun but going back to these old games makes me wish they could've brought Blackheart back there because seeing stuff like the small demons in 3d would have been awesome and we again had 2/3 of that wolverine, punisher, ghost Rider trio in mvc3 albeit not the same ghost rider. hopefully if we got an mvc4 in the future they would put all 4 of these characters in there and also Mephisto too
It may not have been thru the Vs. games themselves, but I sure share that "Man, this character is cool" experience. All I have to say is, mid 00s MUGEN Him and Abyss from MvC2 (Specially their 3rd form) make me want more. Where I a lesser person, I would've taken issue with the Daredevil tangent. But that Netflix show...
Still a shame Daredevil never got to be playable in a Capcom game. He was gonna be player two in The Punisher, but they couldn’t get the rights. (Another company was planning on a game that never happened) so they had Nick Fury instead. I’m kind of glad because what was he gonna do in the shooting stages?
Blackheart's sprite is one of my faves in the MVC series, I love how cool it is ;w; It's also funny seeing it next to the sprites of Roll and Servbot due to how big and detailed he is and how small and simple Roll and Servbot are Also speaking of Roll, I could've sworn you did the Roll episode last week ;w; You really pumped out this video so fast! :O Oh and I noticed a mistake in your song list: During the part where you talk about Blackheart in MVC2, the song that plays there is the cave stage theme. But in the list, it says "river stage" instead ;___;
Honestly the videos on the Marvel, Tatsunoko and the SNK characters I find the most useful since I generally play the Capcom Vs. Series more for the Capcom characters since I’m more familiar with their history whereas the other companies I’m not so familiar with the other companies.
For once in my life I knew a niche character from the comics before the versus games. I picked up the Punisher, Wolverine and Ghost Rider team up at a comic shop and I was like "woah random villain I don't know." Eventually I played the versus games, saw Blackheart, and I was like really? Blackheart? Edit: I HAVE THE COMIC RECOMMENDATION
Been waiting for this one! I absolutely love Blackheart, something about his design in these games always resonated with me and he was instantly my main when I played these games back in the day.
Oh hey, I was just in the middle of rewatching a bunch of your videos xD I will always love the Vs series for going for deep cuts like Blackheart, and it is interesting to think about Dormammu being a stand-in for him, because for whatever reason it seems MvC 3 vanilla didn't want any characters that summon something (Blackheart's little demon guys and Jill's assorted undead baddies being examples). Not sure if it was a technical/engine limitation, intentional gameplay decision or just complete coincidence, but after seeing how well Venom and Jedah were done in MvCI, I would love to see Blackheart in a newer game. Granted, considering the specific comic Mephisto is most associated with, maybe Marvel is just trying to keep that whole lineage out of the spotlight LMAO
Since this channel is practically a lover letter to crossover games I know of an another character that would be great a crossover game. Since SEGA now owns Atlus I think they should add Jack Frost since he’s both the mascot of the Megami Tensei series and Atlus. His kart design would obviously be ice themed and his all star move would be like summon Hell Biker who uses Mamduo spells while the SMT Battle theme plays in the background. The only hurdle for Jack Frost getting is a track based on his series since the Megami Tensei is not really a family friendly game series due to series having satanic themes which might clash with the family friendly tone of SEGA All Stars.
Man....I love your channel and videos. Informative, entertaining, well formatted and edited....bravo TheSeventhForce! Thank you for all the Capcom VS content!! ps If anyone is watching Agatha All Along......who else hopes Mrs.Hart (Debra Jo Rupp) ends up actually being THIS Blackheart......LOL
You know, despite one more day, I really don't blame mephisto as he is the living embodiment of deals and corruption. I stare at Peter Parker and yell " HOW CAN YOU MAKE A DEAL WITH THE LITERAL DEVIL?!How stupid can you be Parker?!!!!"😂
So Blackheart, not much to say on my end. He's got a cool design, and he does look pretty neat to play, but I think I prefer Dormamu personally. Not sure if I would be disappointed if he got in over Dorm, but it would still be neat to see him back.
I ordered copies of Hearts of Darkness and The Dark Design online based off your recommendation here and they are some of my favorite comics now. I really appreciate you introducing me to them
24:12 i wasn’t expecting this video to give me war flashbacks to Battle Garegga’s stage 5 boss (considering it’s also named Blackheart that’s probably why you used the song lol)
Man its such a shame such a cool looking character doesn't get used more and properly (looking at you Ghost Rider movie). I didn't know he premiered in Daredevil. I love just how beautiful and detailed his sprite is. And all his moves look cool.
Very excited to see this! I always loved Blackheart and how monstrous his design is. Some artists like John Romita Jr. even draw Mephisto in a very similar way, which Capcom even references in one of Blackheart's endings!
mephisto should return in future mvc games. He can be similar but different to blackheart like how dante and vergil, x and zero, spiderman and venom are to each other
Great coverage on the son of Mephisto! Question...Since the composer of Blackhearts theme also did Juggernauts...does that mean they came up with Pyrons theme? If you listen to both, you'll hear some major similarities!!!💪❤️
@@LowellLucasJr. So, Takayuki Iwai actually was the primary composer for the Darkstalkers games, but Pyron's theme is notably one of the ones he didn't compose. That one was done by Hideki Okugawa; you probably know him best as the lead composer of the Street Fighter III games.
I love all of your videos, my friend! Your analysis of the MvC lore is spot on! I would have said the same thing. Great minds think alike, bro! I love the Marvel vs Capcom franchise! I will be getting the MvC Fighting Collection when it comes out! My favorite moves from Blackheart are Inferno and Heart of Darkness. 🤓😊👊🏾🎮⚡️⚡️
Blackheart alongside Shuma are characters I'm glad got in MvC to show the more obscure part of Marvel especially with the mcu just touching the tip of the Marvel universe As a kid you bet I was super confused who Blackheart was and the Ghost rider movie didn't help either but theses days, I find him super interesting and wish he could appear in another adaptation with a comic accurate design
At 2:46 Ahh Wes Bentley. If motion capture was common in 2007, he could have done that as Blackheart so he could be comic book accurate. But if only filmmakers were gamers too.🤓🤣
When im was young, i was very scared of Blackheart, his music was so scary and his apperance with his distorced voice gives more creepy vibes. The only reason im didnt play MSH and MSHvsSF its because of him Lol
It's funny.... When I saw Blackheart for the first time. It was in a Mugen video. Along with his Hell stage.... I honestly thought he was a final boss character. Which to be fair to my teen self. He DOES look intimidating....
Just curious but have you heard the news about Kingdom Hearts 4 possibly being final conclusion in the series and Tetsuya Nomura retiring from game directing.
Hey TheSeventhForce why you don't make a video qbout Terry to celebrate his coming to SF6 making him and the CvS apparently canon thanks to his end cinematic?
Ive always liked how blackheart looked in the games but disliked the way he plays, its not that hes slow its just his heavy kicks and punch that messes me up to the fact where i dont enjoy playing as him, otherwise i love his design as i said before and great video, a lengthy one even!
Honestly, I felt the same until working on this video. Took me a while to wrap my head around his brand of zoning, but something clicked at one point and I've really been having fun with him now.
Would love to see both Blackheart and Shuma come back for MvC4 now that the fighting game collection has exposed them to a new generation of Marvel fans.
Gotta love how no matter what he's done, the one thing everyone will say about Mephisto is how he ruined Spider-Man's marriage
I figured I was probably morally obligated to bring up OMD if I was going to speak on Mephisto at length lmao

One of the best themes in the game
The tortured souls in the background kinda look like Kermit the frog silhouettes
It's funny.... When I saw Blackheart for the first time. It was in a Mugen video. Along with his Hell stage....
I honestly thought he was a final boss character. Which to be fair to my teen self. He DOES look intimidating....
Mephisto lord of hell, sower of discord, ruiner of spider mans marriage
Just curious but have you heard the news about Kingdom Hearts 4 possibly being final conclusion in the series and Tetsuya Nomura retiring from game directing.
Needing more power to overthrow someone?
Definitely sounds similar to Vergil, I think I now understand why Capcom chose this character.
Hey TheSeventhForce why you don't make a video qbout Terry to celebrate his coming to SF6 making him and the CvS apparently canon thanks to his end cinematic?
I already did a Terry video a few months back, but a SF6 centric one might be something I do later on!
Mai I hope you do her Legacy I hope you mentioned Dead or Alive Fall Guy and Street Fighter
@@TheSeventhForce I do not remember the video, but I would surely love the SF6 video as a special video
I haven't heard BlackHeart for long while I hope he makes a comeback someday alongside Shuma Gorath together
(🖤 & 💚)
That guy from ghost rider 2007.
My favorite character in these games.
Ive always liked how blackheart looked in the games but disliked the way he plays, its not that hes slow its just his heavy kicks and punch that messes me up to the fact where i dont enjoy playing as him, otherwise i love his design as i said before and great video, a lengthy one even!
Honestly, I felt the same until working on this video. Took me a while to wrap my head around his brand of zoning, but something clicked at one point and I've really been having fun with him now.
@@TheSeventhForce after reading your comment, I should give blackheart another chance whenever I get the collection
Would love to see both Blackheart and Shuma come back for MvC4 now that the fighting game collection has exposed them to a new generation of Marvel fans.
I just want to know what Kermit did to get sent to hell in Blackhearts stage.
I liked to play as blackhert but I never knew where he came from thanks
i wish we could've gotten daredevil in these games
