i honestly like when the legacy vids for YT have the actual arcade runs included. it's cool to hear him talk about it, but half of the fun is watching the insane BS that happens along the way.

Akuma Set out to prove that being born a mutant is not enough to be the strongest, you must earn the powers that make the very earth tremble.

Akuma feeding children, fruit and his sound effects having giggling children... He may be the demon, but what are his morals and motivations?

X-men vs street fighter had Infinites for days. Loved that about the game. Supers were insane. Team up supers were awesome. The beginning of crossover glory for the next 5-7 years. Those were some fun times.

Master of magnetism vs Master of the fist

Now we just need Rogue doing a Raging Demon in the X-Men animated series

Edit- I literally pause the video and wrote this about one second before Max does. -- Marvel versus Capcom 1 had a form shift for Ryu that can turn him into Ken-ish and Akuma-ish color and actions

Would have been awesome to let people know that you can place your selection on akuma hold left or right and get him randomly and since you had your selection on akuma you just select him and now your playing with 2 akumas in X-Men vs Street Fighter

Remember he was also in Asuras Wrath which was such a great and underrated game! That fight between Asura and Akuma was epic!

Big boss. The Mgsv one. He’d probably be able to go to war with that x-men who’s mutant ability is to never lose and only win.

There are two versions of X-Men vs SF Cyclops infinite doesn't work on the other one because I think they fix the floaty characters.

I can wait to hear him talk about Zero Akuma from Cyberbots.

This my first introduced to Akuma I'm not even joking

Bra how tf I never knew RYU can change like that in MVC !!!!! WTH buttons i was pressing ???! Lmao

I remember in MVC, you could hold a specific button when choosing Ryu or before the fight begins, and you would then start the battle as Akuma or Ken, but without using a superbar 👍

That thumbnail though

I remember the first time seeing Cyber Akuma at the arcade at Marine World - blew my mind, and became my username on every website for years.

To me the fun thing about Cyber Akuma and him feeling so lazy is, the lazier thing to do would’ve been to just reuse Zero Akuma from Cyberbots, and that would’ve actually looked cooler, but they took the time to make changes to his normal sprite to made Cyber Akuma. Like they could’ve just reused Zero Akuma and said he’s a new Sentinel based on Akuma.

I love your vids dood you and editors are doing awesome work

Cyber Akuma with the infinite meters cheat was always fun

The introduction to the 100 air fireball super lol. Great game and amazing soundtrack

I so wish the Shoto install came back in follow up games for Ryu. Yeah sure we got the characters themself sometimes, but I love to think of that being explained as Ryu's mastery of his fighting style. Tapping into the Dark Hado, his friendship and rivalry with Ken, his own methodology. on the fly, In the more recent games I could just imagine the sauce he could have being able to spend a bar to switch mid combo. Hell you could have it if he's already in 'normal' state if he does the normal switch that's what gets him Denjin install. I miss when they were willing to mix up/play with The World Warrior.

Yuri in kof 2001 is able to perform the rage demon with 2 bars, if she's lucky she turns her back at the end and takes 80% of the opponent's life bar, sick!

I wish they can bring the crossover fighting games into the collection.

Thumbnail goes crazy

Akuma becomes besties with the mutants

The golden age of Capcom games. Everything was perfect to me back then.

That thumb nail and intro. Chef's kiss,

The handshake heard around the world….

Another game that never let my poor Saturn have a break, its still so damn amazing.

There is something aesthetically pleasing about Cyber Akuma having orange projectiles with a blue effect on the opponent

I love Akuma's ending in this game. We get to see him take on Cyber Dan.

In the ps1 version of MvC there was a legit way to play as cyber Akuma and i remember i would turn the speed all the way up and it felt like you were playing a dragon ball game if you used him. Good times.

Holy shit. 1.72 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS. Literally insane Max!

I will always prefer the look , music , art style from X-men vs Street Fighter over the other VS games after 🤙

We really need to bring back secret unlockable characters in fighting games. As a kid stuff like that made me play all kinds of fighting games.

Xmen Vs Street fighter is one of favorites of the VS series. It has a very diverse roster for the number of characters, and is so much fun to play. I loved how Rogue could steal moves from all the regular cast, giving her a very unique moveset. (compared to the later games where she just gains a different stat from absorbing the other character.) Apocalyspe is such a cool last boss, as he has the booming voice from the animated series, giving him this threatening prescence.Sure he isn't that hard to beat, but the presentation is top notch for this game. I still play the crap out of it to this day. Marvel Vs Street Fighter really did feel phoned in compared to the true effort we saw in Xmen VS SF. When I first saw I wasn't sure was some sort of hacked version of the previous games. Cyber Akuma was a rough boss, but I learned how manhandle him as wolverine. (drill claw let's you stand on top of him especially when he does his airfireballs.) I'd basically beat the game with everyone paired with Wolverine as I'd wear them down and let the other character finish him off. The rooster for Mvs SF and MvC both started have too many shototypes. (even with Ryu replacing 3 of them.) MvC 2 obviously gets you all cast you'd ever want, but I feel like the 3 on 3 made the game messier as I liked the 2 on 2 set up better. They also removed the medium strength punches and kicks which never felt right to me.

What a missed opportunity to give Rouge an Akuma stance with a 天 symbol on her back after she performs a Satsui no Hado.

My most played arcade game growing up in the Arcades

Akuma also in puzzle fighter and pocket fighter. Man It really brings back aot of memories

4:44 shotos in Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter Ryu, Ken, Akuma & Dan

I wonder how many other characters aside from Rogue have had access to a Raging Demon move. I know there's a handful, like most of the shotos for starters

Cyber Akuma is playable on the PS1 Version of the game after beating him without using any continue. You have to highlight Akuma on the select screen and input 5x select and hit any button afterwards.

Jeez, I think I still have my official X-Men vs Street Fighter strategy guide all these years later. And Rogue performing Akuma's moves is hilariously awesome. I will also confess as dumb as Cyber-Akuma is, I love him.

Akuma would never be friends with magneto. He would look at magneto’s power as a cheat code.

Mode Change Ryu in MVC1 is really cool, usually do switch to Akuma mode if I play him.

Best. Thumbnail. Ever.

After watching this, I really want an Akuma handshaking Magneto poster ASAP

Pretty incredible how fast Capcom and SNK churned these games out in the late 90’s. On the other hand they released these all as separate games. Like MSHvSF was basically an update to XMvSF, though they changed up the roster quite a bit.

I think I remember Maximilian from the Shoryuken/SRK forums from WAY back in the day.

Great video

Is the Mall Mayem stage is an indication that X-Men vs. SF is linked to Silent Hill 3?

Ryu Turing into lem is cursed and hard to picture lol

That intro tho 🤯

I just picked up XMVSF on Saturn a couple months ago! thankful that gouki/akuma is almost not a hidden character at all, haha. MVSF I remember on PSX even though it was a nerfed console port unlocking cyber akuma was pretty sick. would love to find the saturn version one of these days! MVC1 that's usually my thing just pick ryu and spend the bar on the akuma transform, since he's not actually in it! imported the DC version as well, I think I may need to fire it up again soon.

X-Men VS Street Fighter was kind of bonkers in the arcade. You could access the secret character by accident, and with a basic level of Street Fighter skill beat the game on one credit with any team (I've never played a cabinet where the owner turned the difficulty up). They seemed to know by that point that these machines would thrive on VS mode profits.

Cyber Akuma has the double air fireballs & bigger fireballs like Shin Akuma & an air Raging Demon like Oni

You actually can play as Mecha Akuma on the PS1 version of Marvel Super Heroes. you have to beat arcade without using any continues and on the character select screen go to Akuma and press select 5 times then select him. And yes he is broken.

Almost completely forgot Ryu could turn into Ken and Akuma in MvC.

They need to bring back those rogue powers

4:16 Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter The game with the imfamous Cyber Akuma boss fight(Which was no problem for me)

Hell yeah

It was obvious Max wouldn't resist an opportunity to go back to pocket fighter again 💎

Can anyone tell me where this rendition of Akuma’s theme at the first half of the video comes from?

Is it asking too much for a collection with: - X-Men Children of the Atom - Marvel Super Heroes - X-Men vs. Street Fighter - Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter - Marvel vs. Capcom - Marvel vs. Capcom 2 - Marvel vs. Capcom 3 - Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 I do think it's cool that in Marvel vs. Capcom, Ryu can transform into Ken or Akuma.

11/10 thumbnail

UNDER A MINUTE OMG

i always check the edges because of this game and jojos

Heck YES

Is Max trying to canonize all the marvel fighting games into one story?

I've always thought that in MVC1, Ryu should've been able to transform into Dan with 63214 + Taunt.

Ayo, its a game I played! Akuma and Ryu, Team Beam Dream Scene! Though in MvC1 I ran either Ken or Dan instead of Akuma (for obvious reasons (Can't have 3 Kens))

You should be able to play both cyber akuma and apocolypse in the ps1 version of marvel super heroes vs street fighter. I think you just have to beat arcade once and put in a code.
