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).

Interesting enough, if you complete Arcade in this version with Mega Man, you can use Magnetic Shockwave as one of his Supers.

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!

I still can't believe no Power Stone characters made it into a Marvel vs. Capcom game espcially Infinite which made the most sense.

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.

The EX cancel is what makes this version of the game so fun...it's so underrated.

I'd actually be interested in seeing a tournament using this version and how insane it would be

This was literally my first game on Playstation and then Tekken 3. Then some bloody roar and Smackdown games. Wow, I had a great childhood.

Man I never knew the Playstation version had this many mechanical differences. I feel like that could make for some very funny combos

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

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.

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

Roll's theme is a banger you don't get to hear too often in game, but you can listen to it via the options in the home versions.

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.

3:21 That's what I've always loved about the PS1 versions of MSHvsSF and MvC1, and i'm glad they Incorporated that into MvC2 as tag-in supers

I believe the “version” of ryu in mvc1 is just called “style change Ryu” which this is the only time he can copy ken and akuma

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

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

Captain Commando and Jin were monsters in this game. All those combos bring back teenager memories

I know this version sucks, but I love it a lot! This is the version that I grew up playing

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!

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

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.

Seeing Max do Captain Storm into Captain Sword hit right in the nostalgia feels

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 love how captain commando looks like a real character in this game

This game is my childhood I remember just asking my mom if I can borrow quarters in a restaurant that had it

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.

This is the first fighting game ive played and also the game that got me into fighting games. Man those were the good times

The PS version was actually my first game, ever Seeing some love for it feels good

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.

My favorite thing about MVC1 is that it has one of the best versions of Chun-Li's theme

The ZOOM ins on the throws is amazing!!! I like it on the air combos too, but I feel like it would mess people's combo up lol

MAN! This is so nostalgic. I played this version more than the arcade version. It's super janky and I LOVE IT!

The version where Mega Man can use Onslaught's EM Pulse.

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.

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

For the Hyper Megaman to fully connect in the air you have to be away from the corner, otherwise the giant beam misses the opponent.

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.).

The fact that megaman's ending is cannon im this version on top of the classic 1v1 style made me occasionally go to this one back in the day

Oooffff jesus this hurts lmao. The animation is so rough in this port.

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.

This game is very special for me, it introduced me to fighting games, mvc will always be my favourite

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.

That zoom in camera is damn annoying. But it's cool that all the PS1 vs. games included the Hyper Cancel technique to allow for some unique combos.

The entire time I kept thinking the zoom was extra editing but it’s that rediculous, super disorienting

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)

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

I love how captain commando endings is a reference to the ending of his own arcade beat’em game,but with the avengers in it.

I don't even remember this coming out for the PS1 but this version is crazy.

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 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.

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.

I almost thought the zoom ins were an edit, but it's actually a feature in this game. That's actually hype when done right.

mvc has such a good feel and artstyle

I heard Fightcade is planned to put PS1 fighting games hope to see some competitive matches of this version of MvC

3:33 How interesting, that Ken combo is basically his LVL 3 in Street fighter 6. We have come full circle

that version...is half of my childhood

Loved this version. I’d give anything to play it again.

captian commander can comdo his supers into each other, I really enjoy doing the team attack into the giant beam.

I Have been waiting for this ❤️❤️❤️

If a MVC collection comes out I'd really love they also put the ex/PS versions of the games.

I remember when I fixed experienced that zoom in effect during air combos lol shit was unreal

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).

I really love the zoom on air combos

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 came here after seeing your reaction on Kameo Fighters just to understand what you meant and dang I do now🦄

This version is very nostalgic to me, it was the one I've played when I was a kid

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.

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.

Happy Holidays Maximum Dood!!!!!! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎧🎧🎧🎧

Totally awesome! These features must be in a re-release of any Vs game!

Max whipping out the insane combos sheesh!!!

Watching this while anticipating the Marvel vs. Capcom Versus Collecting!!

Thanks for posting this max, I was about to sell my mvc but not now.

I REALLY miss playing MVC with my friends. They would always ragequit whenever I beat them lol.

Chained supers are so goddamn hype in this version.

This the one i own... Awww man nostalgia

Funny thing is, captain corridor directly into captain sword actually works as follow up for captain storm

This was my jam back then.

The look on your face max is hilarious. I own the PS1 version. And I remember doing this all the time with my best friend. At the time it felt like only we knew about this version lol. But the hyper mix ups are really cool.

I forgot about the zoom in thing with this game

Never forget me playing Gambit against Onslaught at 8 years old and when the next form showed up, I nearly fainted 🤣

I wish I could've played these games online back in the day. I didn't even know you could do some this stuff wow!

It was nice of them to include KenAkumaRyu in this game.

This is the version I grew up with. Hellz yea

Wow, this is SUPER cool. Mechanics wise this could serve as the basis of a Capcom all stars fighter.

Wildly enough, me and one of my friends played this like crazy after the MVC2 Evo announcement. Shit was wacky.

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.

Captain commando used the power of friendship to win.

Ahh the memories man, I remember going crazy using Wolverine

This is the only version I played back when I was still a kid. I didn't know it had differences between other versions.

I used to play this with friends I haven't seen in years.

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 remember linking supers together in XvsSF too must of been a Playstation only thing

The exact version that I played a capcom FG for the first time!

I'm glad you're able to turn off the zoom feature in the option menu, it's terrible.

Oh, yeah... I remember this version... Such painful, wonderful, painful memories... 😁
