X-Men: Mutant Academy 1 may be JANK, but the second game is so fun and has an insane amount of interesting combos. Let's see what I can do in this game!

In the extras, you can unlock a combo video with busted TODs for the whole cast. Nice training footage

Now THIS is what i was talking about. I don't know why you played the first game. You can search online for a cheat button combination in the main menu that unlocks every character and hidden ones like Spider-Man and Professor Xavier. I strongly recommend to look for the combo video in the extras on Xavier for you to see the potential each character has. Also, i wish this was on Fightcade.

Justin the reason rogue is flying/floating is because she absorbed Mrs. Marvel/Carol Danvers powers. She held her too long, getting not only her powers of flight, super strength, but some of her memories as well in the form of nightmares. She put carol in a coma for awhile. This all came about because of mystique her mother told her to do it. Rogue was a villain before becoming a hero.
I want to see more of this played by pros or whatever. The gameplay is so fun and well paced. The SFX are the best in fighting games, and the music is fantastic.

@@Isoant i checked a little X-Men:ND and i think interface and FX in X-Men MA2 looks better than in X-Men:ND. Also X-Men:ND is 3d fighting but X-Men:MA 2 is 2d. I'm not sure about dynamic in X-Men:ND but X-Men:MA2 is very dynamic. Anyway X-men:ND looks like a sequel for this game. Good or Bad sequel thats is main question but some things are looks cool.
Rogue got her flying powers from Captain Marvel. Her hairstyle in the late 90s was actually mirrored after Major Kusanagi from Ghost in The Shell. That was around the time when anime and manga were starting to hit it big in the US.

Growing up I had X-Men: Next Dimension (which is apparently considered Mutant Academy 3 according to Wikipedia) and for the longest time didn't know it was part of a series of X Men fighting games. It even had things like Injustice like stage transitions an actual story mode with alternate endings depending on how you beat the final boss, kinda neat

pretty sure they stole the stage transition idea from NR that was in one of the early 3d MK games
I'm glad to see my vague memories of this game being much cooler than the first game weren't wrong, and glad to see you got to it, had a good time, and bodied the arcade! Good stuff as always!
YES! THIS is the one. This may be my favorite PS1 game ever. I had a choice between getting TTT1 and X-men MA2 for Hannukah when both were new, and because of Nightcrawler and Spider-man I went with this. I eventually got TTT1 with my allowance and love both games, but X-men MA2 not just solidified my love for X-men that persists to this day, but inspired how I created my SFxT v2013 Bible with how detailed and helpful the tutorial was. The in-game character overviews for MA2 were years ahead of their time.

I remember having so much fun playing this game like 10 years ago. This video made me want to revisit it. Cyclops and Magneto were my favorites, so it's very nice to see Justin play one of the characters scrubby me loved to play back then. 😁
This game is actually SUPER underrated, 10/10 playstation 1 classic.
Xmen Next Dimension HAS to be the next one lol. Justin also must use a cheat to unlock all characters and see the glory that is Blob.

That Optic Blast SFX is clean. This game had great sound design.
I used to play with spiderman on this one And his ending was a promo for the ps1 Enter electro game. 😂😂😂😂
I had a lot of fun with the Mutant Academy games when they released. Definitely a whole different ballpark from MvC and the first few Tekken games I was used to 😅
You can change your x power from one to another one . And you can do it while doing combos too . Example .Press Tringle and them circle and the meter from the second bar will pass to the third bar meter . Another thing you can do , for example , is delay or double hit with the projectiles . Example . If you pick Gambit , and jump and you do is Air card projectile , he throws 1 card . But if you jump and do it in the the air card projectlie very fast , and press square and then triangle and R2 reslly fast , he throws 2 cards . And theres one way to cancel Gambits Kick special . And theres counters too . Just press L2 i guess . Theres a lot of juice in this game . And theres a cheat to unblock everyting . Even a combo video . Google it
I used to rent this game back to back. It wasn't on the shelves for weeks cause of me lol. The sfx for hits were so satisfying to the ear.
This is a surprisingly solid game considering how jank the first game was.
I LOVED this game as a kid. Used to spend ages practicing the mad air combos
This was definitely a hidden gem, thank you for this and everything you do with your channel.
Justin is cheating, everyone knows cyclops and havoks powers don't work on each other.
Cyclops was also my go to character. Nothing beats a good ol" Optic Blast. Also, that soundtrack was kinda poppin' off.
I remember playing this game. Beast, Wolverine and Storm are broken. I remember there was a mechanic to switch which super to use while casting. Always loved the second super since you can multiply the damage.
I probably could've stood to play X-Men: Mutant Academy 2, myself. I always liked Cyclops' optic beam sound here and the first game. This game got air combos for days??
You actually used that photo as a thumbnail,I love it😂😂
This game was fun af back in the day. Good times.
From the mistakes of XMA1, XMA2 improve a lot in torn of characters, battle mechanics and everything
When this came out on a PlayStation magazine demo version, I was hyped about the roaring thunder of wolverine's claw special or every characters special in general PLUS the mid air combos.
Fighting games were always my favorite kind of game, but I was a level above any of my friends, so they didn't like playing me. I really liked this game, though. It's fun doing combos. Cyclops is top tier with combos.
I don't remember if it was the first or second game, but I just remember my friends and I laughing so hard at the announcer as well as Professor X. The announcer would announce all the characters normal, but then when you picked Rogue it sounded like he was busting a nut. 😂😂😂
Cyclops: "A Clean Victory..."✌😎
"That's my ending?" lmao, best reaction!
One of my favourite stages in this game is the Pool Party stage where it even includes special swimsuit outfits for everyone, my favourites are Magneto with the Towel Cape and Juggernaut with the Bucket Head
That ending though. Wtf. Hes just like, so full of himself and it absolutely said nothing about the whole game, or whatever. Amazing stuff.
thank you so much for doing this video! Can you explore this game deeper and maybe eventually do a tier list on your first playthrough impressions. Maybe react to all the supers?

This game is just waiting to be cracked open - it has some busted mechanics, and you can do some wild stuff with some tech we call "heavy canceling". (You basically just kara l/m special into h special. You can even do this if you dont have a move on that special input... Giving some characters infinites that are just heavy punch repeatedly) But for all the ways the actual combat might be broken, it's a really neat combo engine

This is what I remember from back in the day. When I realized you could double pound with Magneto it was OVER. The special into special cancelling leads to some real wacky shit.
I've known Justin Wong for close to a decade and this is the first time I'm hearing his voice. WTH. I thought he was from Hong Kong
Bro your picture on the thumbnail is fricken hilarious
This is the number 1 fighting game series i want to come back.
This game series was a certified banger. I only ever got to play the demo of maybe the first one but loved it so much
That was such a Tekken 3 ending.
Cyclops: "Perhaps more time in the Danger Room..."
YEP, this game was the western MVC in terms of gameplay.
Another classic game from the GOAT I Had many fun hours racked up on this 1. Also was it on easy setting 😂
Hope you get to play more and the other characters as well. Jean Grey has this confusion super, Magneto plays more like Terry Bogard and Rogue has 3 supers here. This game is mad fun.

I love this game sooo much! I would love ig you could do run with some more characters! Btw, you can unlock Spiderman, Juggernaut, Psychlocke and Profesor X!
I really love the presentation and animations here, especially the magic series stuff. They're so quick and snappy, nearly immediately jumping from pose to pose with very little in-between (but still having just enough to look nicely animated). You can hust feel how good pressing buttons feels here without even playing. This shit seems way too high effort for a random licensed game
THAT'S what we've been waiting for! It's what we wanted all along!
Ever since I saw you play the first one i was hype to see u play this one. Lets go Justin
Justin really out there ret conning the Phoenix Saga! Bruh! But Mutant Academy 2 was a good time. I spent lots of time back in the day playing both of the games.
I love that game :) in X-Men: MA2 characters have a shortcuts on df and db specials and double specials trick (if press another button for same special in the right time). So cool to see pros in this game.
Me pulling this up on Parsec so I can relive the beatdowns
That Optic Blast shouldn't had hurt Havoc...
1:43 I love this super!!! 😀
I got this game for Christmas back in the day and loved it.
So that outro and I didn't realize till now w jean and Scott doing practice is the same scene they showed in the first xmen movie when professor x was talking to Logan about the school and his first students 😂
Justin sounded like he wanted to switch to Storm after she flew in lol
This one is so much better... to follow the launch is natural and the first game suffers for it. My nightcrawler created serious problems on my neighbourhood.
The lack of startup on attacks is pretty wild.
I still remeber how addicted I am together with my brother playing this fighting game.
Holy hell, I used to play this on ps1. I didnt even remember it's name proper.
Those Tekken endings
can you imagine this game with online, this was my childhood, it deserved a 3rd game lol
I like how each hyper have its own individual meter.
everyday after a hectic day at work, i will watch and rewatch justin's videos as i sit down to relax and enjoy my dinner. you are my daily source of rejuvenation. i am your 40 year old grown man fan! lets go justin!
the moveset, specially the hypers and grab from this game are dope, maybe a miracle happen and some guy port some characters for UMVC3
Did anyone mention that Havok and Cyclops can't hurt each other with their powers? Canonically, I mean.
I wish capcom would make an official sequel to children of the atom or marvel superheroes (not a tag game) using the RE engine. That would be CRAZY
This game is a rare gem. A licensed PS1 game published by Activision and it somehow aint garbage lol. I played this a lot as a kid (as well as Children Of The Atom bc that is also hecking great).
This game is wild, they let u play as professor X in the wheelchair lol!!
i effing love this game! you should try playing as the professor X, his combos are hilarious

Never played this back in the day. I didn't realise that they're were so many moves taken from MvC.
thank you miss this game a lot
wow this game looks nice! I had never heard of it until recently.
I was playing that when I was an early teen, nice memories.
That "Aerial Rave" Super Combo to Phoenix was sick. Connecting 2 supers, kinda like Capcom's Marvel games...
I'm mad I didn't play this when it came out. Game seems like it would've been a blast back in 2001
This was my favorite game growing up
that thumbnails is sick xD i thought this game had custom characters and that was justing avatar for a sec xD
I loved this game back in the day
This update to Mutant Academy was so good that it made Justin update the thumbnail
And the soundtracks in this gsme are so good .
Spiderman was my favorite character, but Wolverine was my main from the 1st and 2nd games
Great video, Justin. I played the sh*t out of Next Dimension on Xbox. I like the comic look of Mutant Academy 1 & 2 better though.
this game is so much fun. i remember playing the demo with my cousin when he got his psone. i played mystique, she is great.
I still have this game and play it sometimes. Combos are dope
