It happens all the time in top level play, actually! Usually it’s called a “happy birthday” because your opponent is giving you a present by being able to take out two characters at once. Little quirk of the engine that gives the game a bit more depth.
That’s my emulator’s fault. Since it’s emulating the PS2, it can’t really export in crystal clear quality, but I did the best I could. Glad you enjoyed!
As one of those people who played this game at a top level for several years.. the characters were a strange pick for a TAS. All the flashy Sentinel stuff requires being hit out of fly to activate fast-fly and unfly. If you were unaware there are TAS that go as far back as 2001 for this game.. check out the joo MvC2 vid for some good shit.
I kinda just picked whatever characters I wanted to play around with. Also, Joo’s video was and still is awesome, so many insane conversions of stuff you’d never think of.
Very late response, but there was a reason for this! This was to activate a specific glitch with Sentinel called Unfly. It basically allows Sentinel to get new conversions using flight that are normally completely impossible. So it was 100% intentional!
