Akuma is so small and short in this game he gives Logan a squat for his money

Half of them: ”Trunks?” *first 2 notes of one winged angel* Me: ”Sephiroth…”

Thumbnail goes hard af

2:04 😂 why would think this is mod??

Man what I wouldn’t do for a new x-men game done right. The Legends games were awesome and Capcom knew how to make them work in fighters. Watching x-men 97 isn’t helping me from being so wanty

Anyone know where I could get the roms for COTA?

This isn't the only time that Akuma would be a fighting game guest character, In Cyberbots, We get a humanoid combat mech version of Akuma called Zero Akuma, And he gets added to Tekken 7 and is part of the games storyline.

seeing this brings back memories back when xmen was 1 of the only marvel properties people liked rather than 1 of the only marvel properties people hated and man i wish we would go back to that era rather than the mainstream aka disney era

Actually, in a Dreamcast port of SSF2 Turbo, Akuma had a super bar. And the best part is: It was the raging demon.

IIRC you can fight Magneto as Akuma in the Saturn version.

X-Men COTA was an amazing game. My favorite was Ice Man. Ice Beam!!!

is it weird these vids are like my comfort vids

Could Cloud's victory speech "Let's Go!" be a reference to Max' channel?!

If you get the date with Barret, does he become the princess?

Was Akuma in the arcade version of Xmen: Children of the Atom? I can’t render

No Max. You are “idiot” for putting units on the right side of the board and expecting the “idiot” npcs to not attack the right tower. Idiot in quotes bc we love you.

Pre puberty Max commentary is crazy 😂😂😂😂

Max should be in the esports commentary his commentary always makes me laugh 😂😂

You can get to Magneto as Akuma in the arcade version (Magneto will ALWAYS be after Juggernaut), but your beginning opponent has to be someone specific. You have to fight against either Sentinel, Spiral, Iceman, or Storm as your first opponent. So you can’t start against Omega Red, or Colossus. I may be missing who else you can’t start against with, someone you play against and your final opponent will end up being Iceman. Edit: Ok, so I saw a playthrough with the starting opponent as Omega Red, and he still ended up getting Magneto at the end. So maybe it’s just random chance you actually get to fight against Magneto. I’ll have to do some more digging.

Already loving the series max.....keep it up

Damn, that Street Fighter Alpha footage at around one minute looks so weird, like there is insane smoothing on it or something.

HOLD ON IS MAX PARODYING DARKSYDEPHIL WITH ALL THOSE COMPLAINTS?

Ain't nothing mutant bout this satsu no hado action, MESSATSU

I love that y'all make a production out of the Legacy videos. I would have settled for a quick arcade playthough so this is real nice. Tho this reminded me, I don't think I could ever beat Juggernaut as a kid. I mean he wasn't playable so you just rarely saw him lol

Even magneto didn't want the smoke from akuma lol

5:57

was it the last video?

I had the DOS version of this game growing up. I had very little knowledge of Street Fighter so when I first got that secret fight, i assumed it was some kind of X-Men character i just didn't know yet.

Could you do a noob saibot visual history vid?

I learn to play Silver Samurai because that code 🥲

COTA has a strange roster no Jean Grey or Beast but Silver Samrurai and Spiral I guess you need villains but weird picks.

I still have Marvel Vs Capcom 2 for Playstation 2 I never had it for Sega Dreamcast tho best game ever to me hands down it has all the best characters and everything

Considering Akuma is 5'9 while Cyclops is 6'3 the size difference is probably pretty accurate.

1st Capcom crossover character, SNK had done that with Ryo in Fatal Fury Special in 93.

wild that akuma & ryo(art of fighting) cameo in fatal fury started fighting game crossovers. (be funny if snk vs. capcom 3 referenced it.:3)

A lot keeps saying Ryo in Fatal Fury and I’m gonna assume that they didn’t watch the entire video before commenting 😂

I wish Capcom would make a story of Akuma with the same fighting style but akin to Asura's Wrath or Shenmue style gameplay. Like, give a full back story in a solo game already!!

.... Max just speaking over video edits has become boring ... C'mon I want to see games and gameplay not a history class

I really miss when games made u do complex codes and steps in the character select to unlock secret characters😢

Akuma in any sf game is my main.

the vs series and by proxy capcom feel so ingrained into the X-Men's identity

Before iron fist akuma was tapped for the role but his demon nature shone through and he couldn't be given the mantle

Amazing intro!!!!!!!!

4:15 I tried to scroll up the tweet in the video myself. 😂 Gotta be honest, that's a new one for me.

The stages look insane.

2:29 Separation of Church and Stamp

There needs to be a fighting game that runs with an online faction element and uses that to determine online opponents and rewards/punishments.

That Akuma in RE2 April Fools ad should become a reality.

I knew Akuma was in COTA, but I had no clue he doesn't fight Magneto. I guess because Magneto has dialogue with the other characters before you fight him and Capcom didn't want this to be the first time Akuma speaks?

Intro sick
