The Marvel vs Capcom you NEVER played! 

Well this was My first MVC. When I played the other versions, I was like "Why can't Ryu turn red?" and stuff like that. The MVC1 PS1 ver. is one of the many reasons as to way I'm a fighting game fan nowadays!

Man I miss this era so much. These games were just batshit insane, beautiful spritework, etc. & I don’t think we’ll ever get that again.

This was literally the ONLY version of MvC 1 i played, love this game

Oh and for who feels unease about the "zooming" thing, it's called Dynamic Mode. You can deactivate in options from the very start.

The ps1 port was my first ever exposure to MvC 1 as a kid, so I had no idea it was missing the tag system

i played this before on a modded vita! what a different experience, spamming infinite colossus and psylocke assist while dual team supering as my opponent, how crazy. the mshvsf and xvsf ports for ps1 are just the same, too, with darkstalkers stocks and dhc, and the lack of tag systems, combos got crazy on this game, man. love your stuff max!

Ryu being able to switch to akuma and ken’s move sets is one of the coolest mechanics ever Imagine if Dan got something like that in a VS game and he could gain the move sets of kage and oni

This was the first Marvel vs Capcom game I played. I never realized that the reason I sucked at the arcade version was that it was a completely different game haha

This was actually my introduction to MvC, and holy FUCK did I love playing the ever living crap out of it, lmao (and the fact that Mega Man actually gets a new move after beating the arcade mode with him makes it even BETTER)

Back in 2005, I remember playing this version with my uncle all day, looking for huge combos and other crazy stuff... ah nostalgia, thanks Max for this!

I finally feel vindicated. I grew up with this version, there weren't any arcades around me , so my friends and I would go to the rental store and rent this frequently

Imagine a Marvel vs Capcom game that has every single playable character from the past six games AND allows you to combo like PSX MvC.

I grew up with the PS1 version of this game. I didn't know how to play fighting games well back then, but years later playing fightcade and the official arcade version of the game, I always knew there was something different. Really cool to see the original version I played get some love after all this time.

Lol you know what's funny? This is the only version of MVC1 that I grew up playing. I didn't realize it was a different game until the Marvel Origins Collection came out and was blown away by the fact that it was natively a tag team game with MAD different mechanics 😂😅

I grew up playing this thinking this was the original one... Those things I always thought that were "normal" to the game.

As a kid I had easier access to this version than the maybe occasional weekend to play at an arcade. As a casual, i still had a lot of fun without the tagging.

This was my first exposure to the Vs. series, but after i tried the arcade version i never come back. I still remember the PS1 port fondly.

I still have my copy of this on ps1. Never getting rid of it. It's my favorite fighting game in existence to this day.

This was my 1st MvC game like so many others I see on here, I grew up poor as hell in Central Florida and had no money or access to arcades but I played the hell out of this version

That's *the* fighting game I had growing up with the original Playstation. Played the heck out of it. I loved the endings, unlocking secret characters, the music and viewing the art in the gallery. It's a very nice and complete package.

Funny thing is, the PS1 version of MvC is all I could afford when it came out. Played the hell out of it. I guess I just forgot how different it was from the Dreamcast port.

This is the marvel vs Capcom version i grew up with. I didn't know this was considered as a different version lol

What makes this port extra special is all the crazy shit you can do with Ryu and his transformations; it really sets him far and beyond the typical shoto mindset lol.

Another case of an amazing fighting game with "EX" in its name, that people didn't give an appropriate opportunity at the time for bs reasons, and is criminally underrated nowadays. 3:29 case and point. 7:21 THAT'S LITERALLY SFEX2+ WHY AREN'T YOU USING YOUR HYPE POWERS TO ADVOCATE TOWARDS INCLUDING IT ON FIGHTCADE 2 AND HAVING CAPCOM AND ARIKA RELEASE A MODERN PORT AAAAAAAAAA

I bought this game as a kid just to train for the arcade. It makes complete sense why I couldn't do anything at the pizza shop like I could at home. I thought my execution was off.

I used to play it with my cousins a lot in the past. Other day I found the disc in my wardrobe. It's there with my other PS1 games all arranged like the last time I played them. Sad thing it brought memories from 20 years ago. I think it was the last time I played the game with my cousins. Today I hardly see them because they are busy with their lives. Man, this feeling... ☹️

I used to have this version for PSX. I love the palette colors for every character, and the special partners make me felt like I'm actually using them as a tag team partner. And check this- it's also cool when you choose Shadow Lady and use Shadow as a tag partner ,too!

This was the only version I ever knew of this game lmao. I had a pirated copy for my chipped PS1 that ran pirated copies. God bless that era because it allowed me to have such a huge library to almost no cost to my parents lol.

This is actually the game that got me into MvC, I only had a PS1 so I had no idea other versions of MvC1 were different. MvC2 felt like a natural evolution to me growing up. When I played the original arcade version of MvC1 years later I literally thought I was insane because my friends loved it but I felt like it was super gimped and only wanted to play MvC2. Today, I finally just felt validated.

I'm just wainting to see max reaction when he descovers that you can do DHC on MvSF on the PS1 version too. I know that the PS1 port of the first 3 versus games are really bad, but MvSF and Marvel 1 I think that are pretty competent, specially for the time and the hardware limitations

If a collection ever comes out, the ex versions should also be included!!! I loved doing super cancels and dhc combos with Cammy in x-men vs sf ex edition... it was crazy connecting "killer bee assault" after "spin drive smasher" then try another "spin drive smasher" when landing.

This game was sick. Had a lot of fun challenging friends only to pick the secret Onslaught hehe

This is nuts. Never knew any of this since I was a kid back then. This was my first ever MvC. I loved this game so much. Finding out that Ryu can transform to Ken and Akuma blew my mind as a kid. Gin was my GUY though. Lost a lot of skin on my thumbs playing this. Wish I could find my CD for it

Funnily enough, this was the version of MvC1 I played the most. We had this on PS1, and without steady access to arcades or other systems that the game was on (initially) this was the one we played a lot.

The PS1 version was my first MVC game, thanks Max, now I understand why almost every video of MVC I saw from different creators, the gameplay was different than the game I remembered. I feel so lucky to play that version. Lately I've been watching JWong videos and made me think why they can't do crazy combos with assists like I used to do, but everything makes sense now...

Yep. I played this on PS1 back in the day and it was a completely different experience. I never really put too much thought to it being a testing ground for MvC2, but it does seem to fit. I was thinking about MSH vs SF when Max mentioned it and that got me thinking about how X-Men vs SF on PS1 is. I am now curious if they did this with the PS1 version or if they played it somewhat straight. People are too worried about games being arcade perfect to enjoy alternate versions of things. On a somewhat related note, I'm looking forward to seeing Max try out Street Fighter Zero 3 Mix.

Yeah this was one of my go-to's. I remember going to my friends house having competitions. It was the best fun I ever had as a kid. That Ryu character that had two transformations after base Ryu was magnificent. They even had a mecha Zangief. Freaking loved this game.

I played MVC 1 on Dreamcast first before playing the PS1 version. When I get my hands on it, I was thrown off with the loading screens but during the fight, BOY OH BOY, I had a lot of questions in mind while playing with my friend. I was so convinced that I was not playing the same MVC 1.

3:20 Good GOD!!! 🥲🔥

Never knew there were different versions of MvC1. The PSX was my only experience into this series and I always wondered why Ryu was able to become ken and akuma only in this one (outside of limitations).

God, I adore these versions. Great to see people finally discover them.

PS1 MvC was the first fighting game I've ever played! Ryu turning into Ken and Akuma shouldve been a mainstay but I understand why it can't... Also the 2nd game I played..... Capcom VS SNK Mark of Millennium!!!

This is the only version of Marvel vs Capcom I've ever played.

Are you kidding me? That was my first "marvel vs capcom" game. I couldn't stop playing it on the arcade with my friends. And then I bought it a couple of years later when it came out on playstation .

We had an arcade, where one of our arcade stand was an emulator, we got to choose three games to be available to play. The games on there were amazing, I set it up to play x-men vs street fighter, MvC clash of heroes, and streets of rage. Tons of game to switch too every week. I miss local arcades.

Got this on my phone. Thanks emmulation. Plus the best thing about this game is the secret characters you get in a specific character ending (Megaman = Roll AND A new Megaman copied ability Hulk = Orange Hulk Any = Final boss War Machine = Golden War Machine and 1 more :)) This game has high replay availability. Good defense system with the Counter/Push/Patner Counter. P.S:Whoever mains Roll here can you please give some tips cause holy heck is she a glass Canon. Edit:Beating the final stage where you were meant to be a boss is made to be impossible BECAUSE it is the only stage where as the Final boss you get to control his FINAL FORM.

"NEVER"? This was my introduction to MvC as a concept. Sure I played a few quick rounds of MSHvSF at my local arcade but the PlayStation port of MvC was where I really learnt the mechanics.

So that's the thing I played a while ago. I remember cancelling Wolverines supers one into another.

Not only was this my first experience with any version of MVC, but this was my first experience playing the playstation. This version of MVC is ALWAYS gonna hold a special place in my heart, no matter what.

My dad had an old arcade he restored and put a pc in with a ton of the classic games. I grew up playing all these MvC games, they were always my favorites. I’m not sure if I ever played this version though! Looks cool!

This is the only version of the game I played and know. I was surprised to find that there are tag team mechanics on the arcade and dreamcast versions. A final version of MvsC1 using all the improvements of the ps1 version plus the tag system of the other versions would be perfect.

That was cool that he show Dark Noob's MVC TAS combo video. His TAS videos on different fighting games is amazing.

3:15 Tatsu to hadouken to super, switch to evil Ryu, air special. Anyone else feel *FILTHY* after watching that shit? I had this game for YEARS and had no idea you could do stuff like that.

I remember this verison getting atleast a B in reviews back in the day. Very impressive given the circumstances.

The Memories I have of playing fighting games growing was with a friend of ,mine who I met in Kindergarten. Every time I was over we were always playing some Crazy fighting game and shooters. The two game I had the most fun Playing at his house were this Game on the PS1, And X-men Vs. Street Fighter. I remember It being some of the Coolest shit growing up and it was fun trying to who can dish out the most damage

I remember I played A LOT of MvC2 in the arcades, and when I got this port...YIKES. One of the reasons why I bought a Dreamcast.

This is the first MVC that I played not the arcade one and the interesting mechanic of this game is you can cancel super into another super like in mvc2, you also have unlimited special character assist so you can be creative at your combos ...My only complain to this game is the zoom in during air combos

this game had many crazy bonuses tbh, unblockable chars w specific used chars conditions,playable onslaught, character installs available from the start of the match (ryu installs, mech zangief) the new megaman move, and well, crossover which was the ac mode basically.

I've played this version years ago. The loading times were the one of the few things that were bad about the PS1 version.

I had this version loved how it combined the names of the supers your team would do together

WOW! that intros take me back in time when arcade was still around they used to cost $0.25 or 50 Cent to play once I got my quarters I immediately always go to play Marvel versus Capcom, Metal Slug, darkstalkers an ofther few classic fighting games but this was one of the best intro back then an still is.

Digging the Udon Strider T you're rocking, Dood. 😎

It's funny that while I did get to play the arcade version first on WinKawaks, just a couple of months later, I'd find out that a buddy of mine actually had the PS1 version, so I played the PS1 version on actual hardware before I did the arcade version, it would a couple of years later that I got to play MvC1 on an arcade cabinet and revisit the PS1 version on an emulator.

"You can dhc into your combos" Me who knows nothing about fighting game terms beyond Falcon Punch: Oh wow really? That's so crazy!

God this brought back memories. I loved this game as a kid. Had it on the ps1, I miss playing it. I miss the music

Thank you making this video I had no idea about any of this man

I loved the hyper combo linking

This makes a ton of sense - playing at the arcade always felt like shuffling around in wet cement to me. Everyone told me it was because I was too used to my "casual" controller.

we used to change the vs settings to infinite supers, and just go crazy. there'd be so much happening the game would go into slow motion during supers. we'd dhc into supers repeatedly non stop. it was insane! the ps1 version still has its perks.

Hilarious twist on the title, this is the first Marvel game I ever owned (or begged my dad to buy since I was like 6 at the time) and this was the only version of any Marvel game I was able to get my hands on. I fucking LOVEDDDD switching into Evil Ryu mid combos and ending it with a shinryuken somehow. Good times lmao🤣

This was my first fighting game and plus 2008-2018 had so many collab and collab games

*IT'S THE WILDEST CROSSOVER THAT YOU HAVE NEVER DREAMT!* _-X-Men vs. Street Fighter_ opening intro 🤯 Thank you Max for re-educating me on the PlayStation versions of the Capcom crossover series. This really makes me see them in a new light!

actually i do played by chance thanks to a old friend it was interesting play with onslaught and use the magnetic shockwave when play as megaman when you finish the game with him via a input i believe start or select in the character select the same input to play as ryu with the ken or akuma powers in the beginning of the match and the mech zangief it was pretty fun to play the port ah the memories....

This is actually my favorite MvC game! it was the game that got me into fighting games!

Mvc clash of super heroes was and still is my favorite mvc game. Not only is this game super fun like you pointed out, theres so much content on it, every character with a unique endings, secret characters, etc...

That Intro is massively impressive

hope you’re feeling better dood

Got more hype for this than I do for umvc3 tournaments. Yo max more of this plrase

This was the ONLY version of Mvc1 that I played! For me it was the other way around, the arcade version was the weird one. Also, ps1 version of MSHvSF is hella fun

Man, that takes me back to ps1 my brothers and my dad played this game and we were like wow this is new my dad said it's best what the hell can you do with this game new way to play this game crazy time we were so happy.

Dude Max I am so glad you talked about this. You don’t even know how giddy I got that you covered this. As a kid I was an arcade rat and I alays played the arcade version. I never had access to a Dreamcast then though. I only had a PS1. This version was the one I had. I knew it was completely different and I encouraged people to play the PS1 port. It was like you said though, no one took me seriously and just dismissed the PS1 version. Well I kept playing the PS1 version because I knew the truth. Finally years later, one of my good friends was like “fine let’s play the PS1 port so I can stop hearing how much you like this version”. Within the first round he was like “OMG you were right all these years”. I said “I told you bro!”. He even said that it feels like MvC2! I said yup it’s basically the ground work for it. We still go back to it now and again to this day! Great work bro! Spread the word of MVC1’s PS1 brilliance! :)

This was my first mvc game I ever played retro throw back thanks my dude

also, when ever you activated the "cross counter" (?) when both team mates come out and attack, both your characters have unlimited supers instead of only the main character (as a default setting with no adjustments). so you'd just surround the opponent and spam double supers from both sides etc. combine that with unlimited meter. its was just insanity. fun times.

Played this back in the day when i was younger, my big brother rented it and we were just so surprised at the differences.

*My first mvc actually. Technically, X men vs streetfighter. But yeah, my first MVC. Not in arcades, but ps1.*

This MvC I played it with my uncle at a Cinema in Puerto Rico, Los Colobos Carolina. What a time!!! But my first one was MvC2 in the Xbox Live Arcade from his Xbox

this is really cool max thank you for showing us this

That Crawler Assault to Ultimate Web Throw tripped me the fuck out!!! Like what!?

a thing with the PS1 version of MvC as well, is Mega Man actually has a special version of himself you can play as, exclusively in the PS1 version, known as Magnetic Megaman

I remember playing this and that MSHvSF game on PS1 and yeah they were completely different games to the point I got confused when I played the arcade versions because I was too used to the console versions 😂

My old summer camp had a cabinet with this and Another with Street Fighter vs X-Men, omfg those games were so dope

Anyone else waiting for Max to play this version on twitch with highlights on youtube any time soon??? :) like literally doing everything it takes for him to play this?? I'M HYPED!!!

It was my first mvc and even missing the core mvc features has a special place in my heart. ALSO, if i remember correctly it has a "cross over mode" where you can play in tag mode just like arcade version! However, both players have to pick the same teams due to ps1 constraints. Just imagine the sheer insanity of this version without the teams limitations, i really hope someday capcom or some modder do a mvc ex "definitive edition" or something.

the coolest thing about this game to me was that Mega Man actually gets Magneto's super after you kill Onslaught with him, i don't know if it was something that made him very much better but it's still really sick to see

The funny thing is that the PS1 is what I had, and it's the version of Marvel Super Heroes, X-Men vs Street Fighter, Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, and Marvel vs. Capcom that I played. I had fun and didn't mind too much that tagging was not possible on the PS1's hardware.

This Version of MVC1 on PS1 should be included in the Disc Cover as a bonus disc, but this gem is too good to be true, like a dream that didn't happen 🥲

THIS is the version I remember. When I first played the Arcade version it felt like a different game. This was all we played in the PS1 Era of fighting games alongside EX2 Plus.

So THAT'S why the air combos had that zoom in on the version I played online! I remember being so confused by that

When I first saw Quick Change Ryu long ass time ago, I wondered "what if quick change mid combo" had no idea it already happened

I'm starting to remember playing this game!, man those where the days when i play this with my cousin's with there ouw fightsticks on the PSone.
