Why Cyclops is the REAL main character of Marvel vs Capcom 2 

They should’ve never took Scott off the roster for Marvel 3. To me he was Ryu’s true rival in MvC as a whole.

One day, Ryu will reunite with his crossover BFF. One day....

He’s one of my favorites. I was always fascinated by how his breathing made his muscles expand lol as a kid I would take deep breathes and flex all my muscles to mimic him

"BEHOLD, OPTIC BLAAAST" "JUSTIIIN WOOOOONG, OHH MY GOD"

Cyclops was my anchor for a long time. To the point of I retired him from my team. He gave me my first 49 win streak, holding down the fort. Such simple confirms into such good damage or chip.

I really want Cyclops back in a new MvC. It's insane he was ever gone.

if cyclops is in next new mvc, id love to see his lvl3 ultra where scott take his glasses off and bam! red screen doing massive damage

Came to this video after seeing what X-Men '97 did to cyclops. Sucka's really represented him well... sucka's a GOAT.

This is still like the pinnacle of 2D sprite fighter aesthetics. The level of style has never been topped, or seen again since. It’s like a window to the past, into the very best of an entire era.

Cyclops was always my favourite X-Men character! Every single game afterwards which he wasn’t included in broke my heart. Great video!

I always liked Cyclops, since the Phoenix Saga. He was really relatable in that storyline. Then they downplay him in favor of Wolverine ever since. He also a decent play on games.

I remember discovering Scott’s secret OTHER command grab. I think it’s hcb HP up close and he’d grab them turn around and push them away with a beam diagonally upwards like he’d lift them into the air and at least half screen with just the force of the beam. It’s was sick.

Great video. I can’t wait for Marvel vs Capcom fighting collection

Who's here ✋ after the first & second episode of X-Men 97, Cyclops is so damn cool!!

The best version of Cyclops ever, really wish he could return to his glory days.

Love this series, super useful for helping new players understand the characters. It would also be nice a vid explain how to build teams and the role of each character in the different teams structure, like storm and Cyclops being batteries. Keep it up!!

I like Cyclops’ ground combo where he charges at you and does like 5 hits. It works a lot like a sonic boom, you hold back to charge to press forward then button mash, I usually just press punch. Does a load of damage if it connects. Combine with an assist like DD’s rocks or Sentinel’s missiles. Also his double jump helps a lot with maneuvering around.

His name back in the day was The Battery of the Gods

I was wondering if these types of videos would ever come back, very happy to see it!

My favorite character in the whole game too, love running him as a battery for cable with doom assist

Please make more of these. These are super fun to watch and helpful as a newcomer, as a lot of mvc2 meta isn't well documented.

I remember how It was near the 10yr Mark of me having the game when i first saw his command grab. I was like “since when?”

Love these videos! Haven’t ever even played MvC2 before but these are really interesting

aw man thanks for making these mvc2 videos. Last meetup we had I booted mvc2 up on my naomi which i hadn't done in forever. Your videos are why i did that.

I’m a simple man, someone praises cyclops. I like .

Ayyyyyyy I love this series! More of these please, I really enjoy this kind of content!

He's my main in Marvel 2 as well because Wolverine freaking SUCKS in this game, both versions, so I had to replace him with someone competent like a Guile and use two characters I already really like from previous Marvel vs games (Cyclops and Colossus), Cyclops being the battery character, is the most important member of my team.

Mothman is a genius I've watched a lot of footage of his M.O.D.O.K his flow chart for in comings are amazing with the jamming bomb into snap backs.

I’ve been waiting for this series to come back, please do more!! Would love to see you do this in other games too

Love this video. Are you not making anymore of those rival videos where you break down the fights?

Glad to see this series back!

I played this casually on xbox 360, I think I loved using Jill, Venom and I guess servbot? Don't really remember anymore, been too long now

One of ur best series. Loved the vid

Great seeing you play MvC2

Cyclops has always been my favorite X-men character since I was a little kid. I always hated how they made him look bad in favor of Wolverine. I don't hate Wolverine himself (I like him too), but I think he's a little overrated. Though I suck at fighting games, I'm glad Scott is good here and is getting some recognition.

Your best series, really hope you do Omega Red at some point.

Cyclops has a sliding special move also in which you didn’t mention. The special move looks crazy cuz he is hitting you while sliding towards you

He also has lungs in his thighs

My favorite game! Thanks for bringing this up

Awesome vid! Can you cover Servbot next?

I'd love to see more like this!

Here’s a comment and I like for the algorithm. love these marvel versus Capcom two vids. keep it up man.

He became one of my favorites when I start playing MvC2 again last week, now I need to be consistent on hit confirm to combos with this game.

i remember watching a set where Justin came back with anchor Cyclops and won and he's been one of my favorite characters in it since then, really fun pairing him with his son too to spam the crap out of projectiles

NIIIIICE show case on cyclops. My favorite version of cyclops is in XMvsSF. If you good enough with cyclops in that game or any character for that matter, you can infinity combo your opponent's character during death. Specifically when you kill your opponent's first character keep hitting the character as much as possible while the character is stuck in fall animation. For some reason character's body becomes bouncy and makes it easier for you to juggle them.

When should you use Mega Optic Blast vs Tractor Beam?

my favorite content creator in the fgc 🙏🏽 thank you bro!

love your marvel 2 content

Accurate and dope review 👌🏾

Pls do more of these! Would enjoy character analysis from other games too!

Good breakdown

Great video as always! Could you do a video on Tron Bonne please? I've seen you do great things with her and I love her but I suck.

I love these vid thank you mind showing us some Spider-Man or ken next?

Cyclops was iconic and should still be in the Marvel fighters. Another one I really like is Jin, even though he’s not that good. In all the crossover games, I rarely played SF characters. I had a hard time changing my style to play properly. Kept hitting fierce or roundhouse when attempting combos. Something about seeing a SF character made me revert to SF button commands.

Can you do a video on movement in general in mvc2 I don’t know how you can dash so consistently, and the micro spacing

"Behold, I am 🗑️" IFC Yipes lol

I haven't played MVC2 in a long time... why the smaller directonal optic blast instead of the screen filling one?

Such an awesome game. We need yet another update on new consoles and on PC that handles the resolutions for us. Purchased MvC2 new for the Dreamcast, purchased it for 360, I think I have it on my FTP drive for PS2, and I'd easily pay $20 again.

cyclops was my go to when I played this game at the arcade at the local pizza joint. cyclops sentinel and cable were my team back then. had no clue what I was doing but I knew those characters were my best bet even back then.

What do you play mvc2 on? What’s the setup?

Man watching Cy really brings back the JWong factor and his amazing 1v3 comeback.

As someone who played a *lot* of arcade mode in this game, it's astonishing to see Sonson do anything other than standing there with the stupid fruit healing the CPU while I try to open them up.

I own the game before someone says that in fact I own PS2 and Dreamcast so I legally can emulate right? Any recommendations on Flycast setups or would a MAME arcade run be better? I am able to run my VMU emulation and graphics seem fine but I am having some just absurb sprite responses the input is fine tho. Just wanna play it on my pc well any tips?

He was unstoppable in X-men vs Streetfighter 😁

I know nothing about tiers and etc but this is my favorite because of his style. He is so cool. Great to know he is a strong character. I never saw people play him at the arcades in its hay day tho.

Man I really missed these character overviews

Scotty is OD good stuff getting a rep of the inf it's so hard. Would love to play you again man

Cyclops bison. That was my team in the X-men game. Then I added mm for MvC 2

Somewhat surprised it wasn't mentioned as to how he's the only character in the game with a defensive crouch throw (DB+HK) which can be a great counter for rushdowns.

that link to LVL 3 Dark Hayato @ 5:24 was some fuckin godlike execution

Would love to see cyclops back in some game, mainly know that DBZ proved that it is possible to have just giant fucking lasers supers and be cool.

ok question how can i get a good copy of mv2 i dont have a ps2 anymore is there an good imulater for it for mobile devices i dont have a pc im ps n xbox player but i do have have a galaxy note n i would love to get my hands on this agin its my favorite fighter of all time

I have two copays of the game for ps2 love playing it! I played elite fighter's at Frier Tucks arcade they taught me a thing or 2. Learned when u save 3 super bars wit,Iron man,warmachine, B.b.hood,use all 3 and get 250hit combo.

I was sleepin on mr summers. GUILE,JILL,STORM KEN,MORRIGAN,COMMANDO, RYU,KEN,AKUMA JILL,COMMANDO,STORM. Need this on my PS5

scott is a really good character only been playing about a month but, he has put in some good work while i'm learning

I still love Captain America the most in MVC games. I know he's not the best but I just really really love all his moves. He has the shoryu, all the projectiles, a dash attack. He's just my favorite fighter of all time (mechanically).

Please can Anyone tell me if infinite combo is posible in ps? Cause i cant Hit de mp in the air

Cyke is very cool. Can do zoning and also pressure. Other thing is his infinite combo

Ruby Heart is the Capcom rep not Ryu. Ryu was the main rep in XvSF, MSHvSF, MvC3. But in this specific game, Ruby Heart is the main Capcom character.

btw Ive seen some good Ryu, who take advantage of the 1 frame super to punish assists or blocked supers. they also take advantage of his overhead and standing grab and launch mix up.. you know what i just inspired myself to make ryu work. lol

My throw back chill 😂

@jmcrofts for new MVC2 players like myself starting with the switch release or whatever release they choose of the upcoming MVC fighting collection. You should start back in on this character rundowns again, possibly starting with 2 of my personal favorite marvel characters which are Hulk and Venom? Just a suggestion not something you have to do just thought if you were going to do more of these now would be the perfect time with the collection coming out in the near future bringing MVC2 out of “fighting game jail” as far as legally being able to play it again that is.

In your opinion how does the null DC version on pc stack up compared to the dreamcast \ xbox360 port?

My teams were Magneto, Sentinel, Commando and Magneto, Storm, Sentinel or Magneto Storm, Commando. Could play either team very high level in my opinion. To be fair, it was only 4 characters total. Sometimes I wish I never stopped playing. Till this day I don’t think a fighter makes me as happy as that one did. Making the difficult magneto combos look easy is ridiculously satisfying. I could do them all. I remember wasting hours at illusions and Gameworks here in Seattle learning how to play. I’d wreck for hours then move on to the 3rd strike machine to get smacked by the same guy every night. That was frustrating. His Oro ruined many nights lol

yo how does he get these nice graphics on nulldc, my characters have some small lines around them

I would love if you talked about Iron Man/War Machine next or Dhalsim.

Never played with Cyclops. I could never get used to his mechanics. But I've seen folks in the arcade literally rip people to shreds with Cyclops. I still have this game on my 360 and my PS3 too.

One thing I like to do with Cyclops-b as an assist in something like Sentinel-Storm-Cyclops is when I'm about to lose Storm to alpha counter in Cyclops, they get hit, cancel to a MOB [Mega Optic Blast], and DHC HSF [Hyper Sentinel Force]. Cyclops sneaks back into the back slot, and now I have a healthy Sentinel to play with.

7:20 lorewise, magneto/sentinel/cyclops is possibly the most unhinged and antagonistic team I can think of.

I have a question: how good/bad is bbhood in this game? Just out of curiosity because when I was a little kid (like 7 years old) I used to pick her in the arcade

I just got into playing and love seeing more content for this game but I still have a hard time of how to overall play this game and the mechanics. I really wish someone would do an updated tutorial for this game.

Super educational, even as a person that doesn't and can't play competitively! Also it looks freaking amazing - is this the Arcade version / Mame, or is this like Dreamcast via VGA? Or like, PS3 / Xbox 360? Just looks incredible, great capture!!

Dude you've gotten good

When I think of the cool version of Scott Summers, I think of his video game incarnation.

I used to role with Guile, Wolverine & bb hood. Fun Times!

Just curious, are Cyclops' supers interchangeable on hit? And are there any pros and cons over using one over another? I typically prefer to use qcf+PP unless I'm intending to bounce qcf+KK.

The way he said oh my god sounded so funny the way he said it 😆

Honestly there's a lot of "assist only" characters i feel get really underestimated like this. Like sure captain commando's no Magneto or anything but he still has some sauce to him(particularly in regards to having pretty nice specials all around that allow him to cover a lot of space on the screen.)

Goddammit I wanna play this game so bad. UMvC3 can only scratch that itch for so long.

You can actually hear the arcade pad button tapping *real* hard 😂👍
