MVC2 was the first game in the series I played, and I kind of just assumed that there was only one game before it. Its cool to see how much history the series actually has, and I'm excited to give them all a try. Thanks for the informative video!

To be honest the only time comic books in the 90's ever had a boom in popularity was in the early 90's. After that comic book stores weren't selling anything past the mid-90's. It's one of the many reasons why Marvel sold all their movie rights to multiple movie studios.

@@CyborgSnake2042 This is true, however what I was really getting at was that the medium of comic books was everywhere. Lemme elaborate; you had the speculator era of comics in the early 90's like you're saying along with the launch of X-Men TAS and Batman TAS which led straight into Spiderman in 94 and Superman in 96. These games of course which would end up spanning into 2000 with MvC2. Plus there was the reruns of the old Hulk show on TV at this time. Plus the Batman 89 sequels. That's what I was getting at, comic books themselves def crashed in the mid 90's but the characters and stories were still everywhere in other media.

This was great and I’m glad you pointed out how integral the first marvel games were for Marvel 2. One other thing that many people don’t know about this time period is that after Marvel’s license expired DC approached Capcom in the 2000’s & pitched them an idea for a DC fighting game, but capcom declined bc they weren’t interested in making fighting games at the time. Sad but it does make you wonder what would’ve happened if Capcom said yes.

Really? I heard Bengus(?) say that it was because "DC didn't have enough characters in the same league as Marvel aside from Batman" that's why they denied it. Still sucks though, Capcom could have easily made a Batman fighting game and honestly, a better Justice League game than the one we got on the Super Nintendo.

Nice video and honestly, as a MvC2 diehard. I can definitely respect the other titles in the VS. series. I spent healthy amounts of playing MvC in the arcades and played the rest through MAME. While MvC2 is goated, theres no denying Onslaught was a badass and it played a huge part in introducing me to some of Capcom's classic franchises the same way many nowadays know classic Nintendo franchises through Smash (funny how Mega Man is in both lol) Some anecdotes worth mentioning, Shadow isn't a palette swap per se as in MSHvF, base Charlie isn't playable and is part of the lore that he and Shadow Lady share. Also, Japan had a hidden character called Norimario, who wasn't that great but had a unique theme. Sadly, he was cut from the collection. :(

I still feel like the first two games are the best, they really felt like Street Fighter with the controls and everything. And they were HARD. Once the team-ups started, it was more about zany combos and stuff, then MvC2 really dumbed it down with the controls. But still, they're all great in their own way.

i think the game that introduces air combos started from MSH not from XCOTA since combo timings are a bit looser on MSH compared to XCOTA. or maybe im wrong.. also MVC started a new timed tag control. could use supers and special moves where your tag character could do the same or equivalent of your command inputs on a limited time.

It’s interesting how devoid of Todd McFarlane Spider-Man art these games are ( I believe all the Spider-Man art used was by…Tom Lyle and maybe one or two from Mark Bagley) Marvel must’ve hated Todd so much by this point they essentially banned all reference to him. They ended up doing the same with Jim Lee as time went on. Of All of the art Jim Lee X-men art that exists, there was no reason to use clip art from b-team artists like the Kuberts.
