Were there any extensive changes to Psylocke in MVC2? Last bit didn't cover her regular gameplay.
@TheSeventhForce6 ай бұрын
Not really. Most that changed was her Hop Kick got moved to F+HK since mediums got consolidated into lights in Marvel 2 across the board and she lost her upwards Psi-Blast. Both things saw so little use in previous games that I didn't think it was really worth mentioning.

Excellent, meticulously made video as usual Seventh, but as an avid formerly competitive MVC2 player I need correct some minor errors. Her Psyblade AAA does create a hard knockdown but it is rollable, the player actually connects with their opponent in a knocked down state before they touch the ground. Magneto benefits because his C.LK comes out at frame 1 and needs little timing to juggle. Also, she has actually has a triple jump in MVC2 and lastly her Psy-projectiles have an interesting property of not interacting with other projectiles, passing through them, which can lead to interesting pressure scenarios. Regardless, good work! I can't wait to see you tackle Spiral and her wacky lore and moveset. Arguably the most original Marvel vs character in the roster design~wise.

Also, my friends and I back then always heard all of her attack calls as her just saying "Psylocke", giving the running joke between us that she was actually a Pokemon

@TheSeventhForce Great breakdown on my girl Psylocke. I agree with you about the music & backgrounds in X-Men: COTA & in Marvel Super Heroes, they were visual beauties. Those 2 games came out in my junior & senior year of high school(I graduated in 1996, MSH came out in late 1995) & IMO, MSH Psylocke was better than COTA Psylocke because she had more moves & so forth but she still took below normal damage yet gave Akuma like style damage EDIT: In Marvel Super Heroes activate Power Gem with Psylocke, perform a basic chain combo & end it with the Psi-Maelstrom & keep mashing the buttons. Guaranteed 100% damage

Ah, Psylocke. A character who you couldn’t seem to name in adaptations because it was so messy. Like, Dr Droom in the 1930’s turning East Asian when he learned from Tibetan mystics messy. She’s also the icon of the infamous “Psylocke pose” where the comics would distort her spine to show images of both her chest and backside. Fortunately, from about 2017, Betsy is back in her own body and Kwannon (silent w) is in the Psylocke body with the code name. She’s definitely the breakout star of Krakoa.

She's cool, but also relatively straightforward to play as with no real standout mechanics or anything, so that's fair. As for her sprite, that's par the course for 80s/90s Capcom artists. There's an interview floating around the internet with Yoko Shimomura where she mentions talking to Chun-Li's character designer during SF2's development and he went on a whole uncomfortable tangent on how important it is that Chun-Li have thick thighs and she said the whole conversation kind of creeped her out. Talented folks for sure, but yeah.
