I don't know if you mention it in this video, but you know how Mega Man defeats a robot master, gets an orb and it says "YOU GOT MAGNETIC SHOCKWAVE" (or whatever weapon) in his own series? That's literally his ending in MvC. Even better? In the PS1 version, he actually gains that move! Kill Onslaught as Mega Man and he can do Magnetic Shockwave (which I believe is a hyper combo).
This specific version was my introduction to the Vs series, my introduction to most Marvel characters, and the game that truly ignited my love of fighting games! I'm glad you decided to give it some coverage! I'm sure a few other people have commented this, but in Japan it was marketed as Marvel vs Capcom EX, to denote it was a different game from the standard edition. After all this time, I would love to see this game's depths explored!
18:10 that ending is a reference to the ending of the original Captain Commando. Other thing about this port of MVC: you can pick the same character twice. Doing a double Royal Flush with two Gambit is so cool!
If you hold the punch buttons during a load screen you can swap fighters to your summon. It's very handy These versions are called EX in Japan as they knew the PS1 could not handle the MVC series. They added new content to game. DHC combos New costumes Permanent unlocks Manual Special summons And tons of new concept art.
This version also had all the secret characters unlocked from start by simply scroll over the character select screen. No need for codes anymore. You can even play as Onslaught!
What ppl are leaving out about Mega Man getting the Magnetic Shockwave is that in order to use it, you have to first beat arcade mode with him (as in, deal the final blow with him on Onslaught), then after the credits, you can just highlight him on the character select screen, hold select, and press all three kick buttons. There's a video of it on my channel
the thing that i think is the coolest about this version is you actually unlock magneto's shockwave super for megaman after beating the game, it's so cool
@@jahdorose8659 It was still talked about enough for fans to want them back and there's characters in MVC that were less popular not saying Power Stone was in the MVC games.
This game has a special place in my heart. I had to settle for this because my parents didn’t want to spend the extra money on MvC2. I love the art style and how chunky everything looks (like the outlines). I finally got MvC2 on Xbox because they had a promo where if you bought a used console you could get any used game 50% off at EB games.
This is a very different way to play.. but it's super cool with being able to link your own supers into one another. Ryu must have some sick change combos. If they ever remake or release this I'd love having some of these options available. Like edition select.
And funny thing, in one of the Complete Works of the NES Mega Man (on Ps1 of course, but was Japan exclusive until on Ps3 and PSP Sony decided to release them outside japan) games Roll's theme is used as the remake credits sequence (I think it was on Mega Man 6 but I can be wrong).
Yeah, who would have tought the Hyper Combo linkings were the precursors of the tag-in supers (known in MVC3 as delayed hyper combos) from the totally inferior Ps1 ports that started to become a thing in MVC2 and got reused in both versions of Tatsunoko vs Capcom and Marvel Vs Capcom 3 (I can't remember if Infinite has that to be honest).
If you highlight "options" at the main menu and press and hold "select"...then "start" there's a hidden "EX option" where you can set your hyper combo gauge to infinite and do other things!!
This is the MvC I personally always remembered and made me love it. Of course in a "I have no idea what I am doing" way along with my cousins when we were kids
This game has so much content especially for a late 99 game! You can turn off the "dynamic mode" zoom in the options menu, also you can switch characters in arcade mode between rounds - you just have to hold L2 + R2 buttons screen during the loading screen before the round starts. You can unlock 8 hidden characters(including the final boss) by just beating the game with different characters.Such a cool version of the game!
I really wished I was there live to tell Max about Megaman's exploit or bug super! If you do his hyper-megaman super into a team super, his big cannon laser will remain on the screen for the whole duration until the end of the hyper team super, essentially overlapping the damage and duration of a normal hyper-megaman. If anyone is unsure, I recommend booting up a ps1 version of the game and trying it out and then you'll see what I'm talking about. It's crazy xD
You have to think of the EX versus games as their own games and not ports of the originals or you’ll get disappointed at what’s lacking and not look for what’s there that’s not in the original games. Many of the concepts would fold over into MvC2 like Cammys staple air combo to Killer Bee Assault was possible in X-men vs Street Fighter EX years prior so if you played that game you knew it was possible when she was unlocked in Marvel 2
This game is why a lot didn't make sense to me later on... My first time introduction to this game in 2001 was through this game on PS1! But it left an incredible impression on me... OMG! I spent the past Year Dec 2020 to Today playing MVC on my Arcade 1up... And just like max I learned how to use a Fight Stick through MVC.... Absolutely one of the Best Experiences every! That Online Community on A1up is Legit!
I had no idea MvC for PS1 was different from other versions, this is like learning about the PC version of NFS Porsche Unleashed after playing it so much as a kid.
Msh vs street fighter on the ps1 is what got into the capcom vs. series back in 1998,I still have a copy of Mvc1 ps1 version,not only that just play the ps1 disc version on a PS3 and do Jin hyper combo the animation is why faster then when you play it on the ps1.
Agreed, this version was my entry point to the Capcom vs Series along with X-Men vs Street Fighter and Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter (both games on their Ps1 ports of course).
@@aspreedacore Yup. Apocalypse was kinda hard in X-Men vs Street Fighter, but Cyber Akuma was the hardest because of that, and Onslaught was easier overall because of the full health regen
This is the version i spent most of my first MVC years on. It was funny to think that DHCing was a thing from XvSF days on the ps1. My friend and I used to do the most busted combos ever. That's why we would decrease the damage a lot and set it to 3 rounds. Shit was mad fun. Happy to see you going ham at it Max. We also used to play this on Max turbo settings...I know...not the brightest of ideas, but we were 13 losing our goddamn minds over this messed up gem.
This game used to be in my collection. As soon as I managed to get my hands on a Dreamcast, I almost immediately traded up to its version. I was so disappointed in the PS version's lack of animation and poor sound quality - it performed worse than PS MSH v SF. In a time in which getting the home version of a game was 'homework' for the arcades, I don't regret the trade up, but the PS version's EX functionality does look pretty cool.
I remember I was on a hunt to find this game back when I was a kid! For some reason it was pretty rare. A lot of memories for this version of it. And yes, Mega Man gets Magnetic Shockwave when you beat the game with him
Just replayed that and MSH vs SF for PS1. Yes it stinks you can’t switch, but it’s actually a solid game. Especially since they have the same round transitions like Darkstalkers. Definitely needed being the PS1 couldn’t utilize the tag team mechanic fully (Athough we do have the crossover option where you and the computer pick a character and you use them to tag.).
Gotta love those memory limitations. Meanwhile the best versions of those games (as well as XM vs. SF) are kept only in Japan due to the Saturn's 1MB RAM cart only being available in that region.
@@StarForceBelmont321 I meant the tag mechanic in the PS1 games. Yes you can do it while loading each fight, but you can’t switch out while fighting like the arcade, Saturn, and Dreamcast versions respectfully.
@@Tjoeb123 Honestly was hype playing these games on the PS1 back in the day. But yea, it’s a shame we never got them in the US on the Saturn. Would have blown my junior high mind back in the day. :D Fortunately I do own them now as well. :)
I used to have the PS1 'vs' games: - X-Men vs. Street Fighter - Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter - Marvel vs. Capcom - Capcom vs. SNK Pro - Marvel Super Heroes I remember a friend of mine had a Japanese Saturn and Japanese Dreamcast back in the day and he showed me what the games were supposed to be like. Suffice to say, my mind was blown.
You should play the PS1 version of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. If you thought the console had problems running a CPS2 game... but it makes up for it with an insane story mode with all kinds of special minigames.
I honestly was shocked of how well the Jojo's Venture (yes, the Ps1 port was based on Jojo's Venture, and Jojo's Heritage from the Future was inspired by the Ps1 port for it's update in the arcade) port and how they added more stuff to make us not think much about the Ps1 limitations with the game (the super story mode was really one of the most fun experiences I got with a fighting game for Ps1, as it had a good balance of doing minigames like the poker game of the shooter segment.
I miss playing this… Middle School Life, cousins with a PSX and copy of the game, letting the hours fly by, even played a few sessions after Final Exams. Granted I always played on Normal/Auto Mode, but I didn’t care! It was a TON of fun and that’s all that mattered. 😊 (Odd that it was my first exposure to Marvel Stars like Cpt. America and not the MCU lol)
PsOne MVC might be jank as all hell, but it has by far my favorite fighting mechanic. You can DHC WITH THE SAME CHARACTER! LITERALLY STREET FIGHTER EX STYLE DHC'S! WHY HASN'T THIS RETURNED IN FUTURE MARVEL GAMES?!
I've never clicked with tag-based fighting games, but the single-character-with-tag-assist type of game really appeals to me for some reason. I may have to check out this version of MvC.
Linking the hyper combos... that's a thing I totally forgot the Ps1 MVC1 had to offer, this version along with it's predecesors (excluding Marvel Super Heroes and X-Men Children of the Atom) were my entry point in the Capcom vs Series. Edit: Of course, Onslaught is easier thanks to the fact that you health is restored after you beat his 1st phase, and Captain Comando's ending is a reference to the ending of his own game (just replace Onslaught with Scumoside or whatever the final boss' name, the Avengers crew with the President and the Avengers base stage with the Captain Comando's Metro City).
Alot of people don't know that captain commando can chain both of his specials even in the arcade version lol. You just need to push buttons and down during the animation of the first super and you will notice that the animation ends earlier allowing enough time where you can pick up with the diagonal h.p then send them up with f h.p and the do captain sword right away.
I got this version as a kid after playing the arcade version. I actually didn't notice the obvious tag mechanic difference until a couple of visits to the arcade later, but somehow I didn't mind it back then. Still had a lot of fun with this version, especially since the arcade that had the regular game was in another city my family only stayed during the summer.
I played this game a ton with my college suite mates back in the day. We could play for hours. We mostly played the vs mode where the second character is your opponent’s first character. The other mode was a gimmick that had infinite assists. Strider could win by throwing the kitchen sink at the other guy. I’m a bit puzzled as to why max seems so blown away by this. The game and its features weren’t some obscure hidden gems. All of this is old news.
The EX series has been doing this for years. Honestly, most understated fighting game series in history in terms of its mechanics and original characters.
the way the camera zooms during air combos is so fucking hype holy shit. it's a little disorienting for sure, but it's a super interesting concept and i think they may have been onto something there.
This is completely new to me I had the Dreamcast version and played arcade I always stayed away from the PSX versions. Same thing with capcom vs snk pro I wanted it but decided to wait until 2 came out on Ps2. I wonder why they just didn’t re release a proper version on PS2 with the extra features and junk
One of the things I love about MvC1 was the fact Ryu has multiple supers where his entire skillset switches between his, Akuma, and Ken. Wish Capcom had kept that for the future VS games.
I know this games bad with its audio and limitations but god damn the nostalgia rush. I had this before the dreamcast version and yeah its night and day but what you can do in it despite its limitations, they clearly wanted this to work, props to capcom for that.
I love how they tried to add more characters by means of cheat codes like giving Roll her own character model and trying to get Carnage in there by having a cheat code that makes venom Red. And from the Dreamcast version he’s kinda different, he sort of glitches around when he moves and his attacks are faster and go on longer. So at least to me even if he’s still called venom I like to call him Carnage.
I thought I was crazy when I played the PS3 remaster and things were so different from what I remembered of the PSX version that I owned and later lost. I remembered that the partner and assist systems were different, but now I see so many things were different! It's like driving a car that has the same look on the outside but different parts on the inside.
I don't know if you mention it in this video, but you know how Mega Man defeats a robot master, gets an orb and it says "YOU GOT MAGNETIC SHOCKWAVE" (or whatever weapon) in his own series?

Interesting enough, if you complete Arcade in this version with Mega Man, you can use Magnetic Shockwave as one of his Supers.
At first glance I thought you were Max commenting on his video
Yes.. yes you absolutely could!!!! Damn fun times, good memories 🥰
@travis Rm Yes, with Rogue
Maaan...wish games had more stuff like that.
And you can pick 2 same characters like 2 Megaman
18:10 that ending is a reference to the ending of the original Captain Commando. Other thing about this port of MVC: you can pick the same character twice. Doing a double Royal Flush with two Gambit is so cool!
For me, it didn't get any better than double maximum spider!

I'd actually be interested in seeing a tournament using this version and how insane it would be
I still can't believe no Power Stone characters made it into a Marvel vs. Capcom game espcially Infinite which made the most sense.
Probably didn't do well and not as popular as street fighter and Darksiders and resident evil
Power Stone was popular fans wanted them to be in Marvel vs. Capcom 3.

@@AlynRapi EX2+ and EX3 are absolutely wild. Brilliant games
Chained supers are so goddamn hype in this version.
the way the camera zooms during air combos is so fucking hype holy shit.
it's a little disorienting for sure, but it's a super interesting concept and i think they may have been onto something there.
Never forget me playing Gambit against Onslaught at 8 years old and when the next form showed up, I nearly fainted 🤣
captian commander can comdo his supers into each other, I really enjoy doing the team attack into the giant beam.
That Hulk computer was a problem 🤣
One of the fighting games I grew up on. I remember mashing R2 L2 to get the super and mashing random buttons to get attacks. I loved it
Loved this version. I’d give anything to play it again.
bought this port thinking Capcom did some amazing thing that will make the game have tag out system, boy was I wrong still enjoyed it though
Wildly enough, me and one of my friends played this like crazy after the MVC2 Evo announcement. Shit was wacky.
"Your comeback shall be short-lived, Captain"
Onslaught foresaw the unfortunate future, he never returned :(
I forgot how good Morrigan’s movement was in the first 2 MvC games.
If these games were comic book canon, i bet ya the avengers had seen everything
Fun fact: they actually did make MVC comics for these games. MVC 3 actually had its own full comic line that was canonical so they actually are
@@loganbly1071 oh
I loved how this game had thematic backgrounds and was so let down when MVC2 had generic ones except for the three newcomers.
This is completely new to me I had the Dreamcast version and played arcade I always stayed away from the PSX versions. Same thing with capcom vs snk pro I wanted it but decided to wait until 2 came out on Ps2. I wonder why they just didn’t re release a proper version on PS2 with the extra features and junk
One of the things I love about MvC1 was the fact Ryu has multiple supers where his entire skillset switches between his, Akuma, and Ken.
Wish Capcom had kept that for the future VS games.
If a MVC collection comes out I'd really love they also put the ex/PS versions of the games.
I'm glad you're able to turn off the zoom feature in the option menu, it's terrible.
I know this games bad with its audio and limitations but god damn the nostalgia rush. I had this before the dreamcast version and yeah its night and day but what you can do in it despite its limitations, they clearly wanted this to work, props to capcom for that.
Starting to thinking.... Was THOSE PSX PORTS that introduced the Delayed Hyper Combo mechanic, no?
I really love the zoom on air combos
I love how they tried to add more characters by means of cheat codes like giving Roll her own character model and trying to get Carnage in there by having a cheat code that makes venom Red. And from the Dreamcast version he’s kinda different, he sort of glitches around when he moves and his attacks are faster and go on longer. So at least to me even if he’s still called venom I like to call him Carnage.
Captain sword
Max, in unison "OHHHHHH!"
I remember linking supers together in XvsSF too must of been a Playstation only thing
Oh, yeah... I remember this version... Such painful, wonderful, painful memories... 😁
I used to play this with friends I haven't seen in years.
I thought I was crazy when I played the PS3 remaster and things were so different from what I remembered of the PSX version that I owned and later lost. I remembered that the partner and assist systems were different, but now I see so many things were different! It's like driving a car that has the same look on the outside but different parts on the inside.
