This video took 7 weeks to make. On top of the ridiculous amount of research and fact checking, I had to learn to play X-Men: COTA, Marvel Super Heroes, MSH vs SF and (for just 1 combo) Tatsunoko vs Capcom. Games I have never put any time into and really didn't understand until now. This was because I wanted to include some fun combos for the characters featured in those games. Basically, I wanted it to be clearly authored by someone who both loves and can (to some degree) play, fighting games.
Also, it's important to mention that all the information in this video refers specifically to Capcom made fighting games. For example, mentioning the fact that Jubilee never became a playable character simply means that you couldn't play as her in any 2d, Capcom fighting games. I'm sure you could probably play as her in some of those random 3d x-men games at some point.
It's difficult to describe the relief I'm feeling from making the final draft of this video. I got super burnt out several times when trying to put this together and it seems to be pretty much impossible for it to ever be successful enough to justify the time I put in. I'm still glad I made it though and I do have another couple of ideas for longer form videos if any of you guys particularly enjoyed this one and want to see more.
Anyway, thanks so much for watching and for reading through my nonsense, it's much appreciated. You can support me by checking out any of the links below.

Hey everyone, this is unlike any video I've ever made. It took 7 weeks to put together and I honestly almost gave up on it a couple of times. So, if you want to see more of this kind of thing, please let me know in the comments. I've got another 7 or 8 new videos in the works that aren't tied to new games or DLC characters. So, there'll be a steady stream of content coming out over the next few weeks. As always, thanks so much for watching and supporting the channel. I'm super fortunate to be able to make videos for all of you awesome people!

@carlosaugusto9821 5 лет назад

I have this strong belief for a long time that Mvc1's assists were a decisive inspiration for the larger "1st party festivity" tone of Smash since Brawl and since they added trophies. It's a smart and efficient way to add more content, adding something to the actual gameplay, involving chars that might not be fit or worthy of a playable char role, and that adds value to chars/franchises that may be "forgotten". Kof 00 also had a Very similar approach with assists, and It was only done once in the series, and interestingly Very near Mvc1's release. It's a Shame that Capcom never went back to that system. They were pioneers on that. But now Smash has taken over the field. I wish a Future Mvc title could accomodate that old system somehow not conflicting with the modern Mvc2 assist concept. Content wise it's going to be very tough for any crossover fg to compete against Smash Ultimate, so Capcom will need to use all cool history fanservice at hand to their advantage.

@@carlosaugusto9821 TBF, this sort of 1st Party celebration was kinda common practice back in the 90s. Konami did this with zany cute-em ups of Parodius, which not only referenced Gradius up the wazoo, but would pull elements from other SHMUPs Konami made back then and even beyond (like Raiden, Truxton, R-Type, Darius...) - and I'd also argue Bubble Symphony (a.k.a Bubble Bobble 2) did implement fully on this "Assist"-feature way back on 1993 via various items you could find in the game to summon other Taito-mascots/arcade icons at the time (including the legendary ship from Space Invaders) Nevertheless, I believe not only did Capcom pull off these sort of tributes right starting from Pocket Fighter, they got to tap on something that Smash probably never will: having iconic fighting game characters and beyond duke it out against iconic comic book icons.

@MikeyLenetia 5 лет назад

@Frizzurd Kinda? The longer answer is that she just calls the plasmoids "fireworks," but can will them to be as weak or as powerful as she wants to no damage to herself. They can go from blinding someone to detonating and destroying objects, and can be wide-spread or needle precision. Emma Frost even said at one point that if she REALLY wanted to, she could detonate matter at a subatomic level. Otherwise, characters like Wolverine only have adamantium claws and healing ability, as well as Cyclops only having varying optic blasts, and both of them got a full moveset. What's stopping them from fleshing out what Jubilee could do like they did for them?

@@KenMasters. Capcom had nothing to do with NxC. It was made by Monolithsoft. The same Monolithsoft that makes the Xenoblade games and made the Project x Zone games which were sequels to NxC. NxC was also a turn-based SRPG with minimal sprite work so they can cram in as many characters as possible. Not at all comparable to a fighting game that needed thousands of sprites made for each character. MVC also only had a year or two of development and was limited by the CPS2 hardware it was made on. That's why they couldn't go beyond having around 15 playable characters for every MVC game they made on that hardware. It wasn't until MVC2 that they could put all the characters in the series into one game plus many new characters because they moved development to the Naomi hardware which was basically the arcade version of the Dreamcast.

I love that you took the time to make this. Learned a few new things, and still quite enjoy the stage variants from COTA. It was the beginning of how crazy Mahvel would get. 👍

@rugalbernstein5913 5 лет назад

No joke. Tomichin looks like Bert if he were a character on Bob’s Burgers.

@janlehur4820 4 года назад

I've only known about half of the characters on special assist. I would've have known them if not for this video. Please make more of these! Great content! 👌

Technically, the "US Agent" uniform Cap wears in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is actually more of a Punisher-themed uniform (you can see the skull on his chest once he pulls back from the Charging Star attack)

@JohnPaul-su8qn 5 лет назад

Good Job on this!! Really brings back memories since I played a lot of those fighting back in the arcade and some Midnight Wanderers. Although I didn't know there are secret characters in Marvel Superheroes much less it was Anita!!

4:55 says Capcom America instead of Captain America

What a delicious devouring of data! Your hard work is excellent! I want to take you for a ride!

@droidgamer-tech6957 4 года назад

So much loved created by the creators back then ❤

@ray0ken853 5 лет назад

Honestly I never knew I needed this video, but I've been wondering about most of these characters for so long.

@phreakinpher 5 лет назад

4:54 Capcom America? Is that like Captain Commando America? 9:08 Looks like Cap and Thor are really enjoying each others company, if you know what I mean. edit: Didn't mean to sound like a prick. Love your work Desk and it's clear a lot of work went into this!

@rasui80 5 лет назад

4:55 "Capcom America received a U.S. Agent costume" is that a typo?

@Azuma15X 5 лет назад

Yep, it's "Captain America"

@juliocesargarrido4885 5 лет назад

He received a costume of himself. That's the truth.

@mariusmacsouza3615 5 лет назад

I tought it was a punisher cap costume, because of the skull in the chest. Maybe i'm wrong.

@anyoneofus9948 5 лет назад

Captain america and US agent are two different marvel characters, there's also a marvel character called The Patriot. All of them dress the same.

No special agent is his brother

I've just come across this video now and holy shit this is dope! Well done Desk, it's something all MvC fans have wondered about through the years haha...now we have it :)

Why'd you change the thumbnail? I liked Pure and Fur! 😄

@aaronhernandez2782 5 лет назад

Tomichin looks like Bert from Sesame Street 😂

@cartmanshome 5 лет назад

Huge nostalgia trip. I remember playing xmen cota and Marvel super heroes on pc with my brother.

@khalidibrahim7726 5 лет назад

@anothrwintr8313 5 лет назад

I just LOVE Capcom history videos like this! Thanks for making it!

@defo8811 5 лет назад

Just imagine if these characters were playable.

@murrfeeling 3 года назад

Tomichin would have completely destroyed the game balance. His power is unbeatable.

@warriort1328 5 лет назад

This video was amazing This is one of the videos missing in RU-vid thank you for all the research you've done great job.

@ReticularTunic7 5 лет назад

@WolfOfMassDeath 5 лет назад

the Shadow character looks like Nash from street fighter? his stance and moves look similar and Nash has his reasons to not want to be seen cuz his body is kinda discolored.

@TheZackofSpades 5 лет назад

WolfOfMassDeath I was looking for this comment, isnt Nash a zombie? M. Bison kills him in a prequel game to the original Street Fighter.

@BawonSamndi 5 лет назад

Shadow is Nash (Charlie) but in a cyborg form. His ending in MSHvSF show that.

@CoopZillaTron 5 лет назад

This video is super dope. Anita being in Marvel Super Heroes is a revelation to me, played it a lot when I was younger, didn't fathom the ins and outs of how to play it, but I don't recall ever seeing her, even in video clips.

@datagrab 5 лет назад

*0:10** You need more research. There's actually 22. I'm not gonna say who. This is my childhood so I know a lot.*

@FCEngine 5 лет назад

The Unknown Soldiers wouldve been the Capcom side's answer to Iron Man and War Machine

@Fambini 5 лет назад

Man I've been looking for a video like this for a longggg time. I've always wondered about this stuff man. So on point and cool. Good job.

@kiduprock04 5 лет назад

This is so dope! Glad this popped up on my feed! Love the Marvel and Capcom Easter eggs/history on this vid. Keep creating great content 💯👊🏿

@Hollowdarling 5 лет назад

If this is gonna become a new regular thing for you Desk. Please do more! Your combo videos are amazing but this shit is too! Love the change of pace especially since you know how to deliver well cut up together content and you deliver tons of fanservice and nerdy facts.

@logannottheonefrommarvel9917 4 года назад

This is what I like to see, both Marvel and Capcom celebrating their history of bizarre characters and franchises.

@victorperfecto7472 6 месяцев назад

Morrigan’s theme is so eargasmic

@YiffyShonryu 5 лет назад

I ALWAYS had no idea at a younger age where the hell “PURE AND FUR” came from and it always irked me because I’d somehow always select them as my assist. The amount of effort you put into all of your works while having it be so damn easy to follow/look at AND just be so damn presentable all the time shows. The only bit of false information is the “we shouldn’t” drop you donations-because we totes should. 👀 You deserve all support recurved, fam. 👌

@mikal4580 5 лет назад

This video is amazing, and clearly had shit ton of work behind it, but its worth noting just a couple things: MvC is a fighting game not a beat 'em up Maybe mentioning that Shadow, and US Agent are re skins of existing characters (That one is pretty obvious though, maybe not with charlie) Fixing "Capcom America received a U.S. Agent costume" to released a US agent costume Even so, this is definitely the definitive video on the subject. Major props

@zackschilling4376 4 года назад

I dont remember how I came across your videos. I believe it was suggested after one of Top Hat Gaming Mans videos on the X-Men/Marvel VS Street fighter/Capcom series but Im sure glad I did.

@quietazn 5 лет назад

Very well done. "Have you seen did you know gaming?" This is probably the best video game history footage I've seen for a lot of these older games. Great job!
