X-Men Children of the Atom combo video by izumojinX

Man this brought back memories of playing fighting games on a Sunday afternoon with my brother and cousin! Good times and sick video!

Yeah, me too... Good times and AMAZING video!

Hah the last time I played that game I was so young I didn't even figure such things are actually possible in this game. :P Good old times... one day I have to play it again and do some actual combos in it.

My thoughts:

1)I think this game and the other older Vs. games like X-men Vs. Street Fighter and Marvel vs. Street Fighter have the best "Camera" in how the characters appear in the screen.
2) Why is there a Blazblue theme used for this video?
3) The sounds in this game were amazing (like Wolverine hitting someone or when Sentinel himself got hit)
4)Yipes should be quoting ICE-F*CKING-MAN

RandomDP If I remember correctly they used the same voice for Wolverine as they did in the X-Men cartoon from the 90's. For me this was the first video game that really captured the spirit of the comic it was based on. I remember playing this in the arcade and trying to do the cheat that allows you to play as Akuma. I could never pull it off and always ended up picking Silver Samurai by default, memories.

thats the one thing i think mvc3 failed to capture even though its an awesome game but i miss the animations each character had different ones which made them all unique but in these new vs series you dont really see that too much :(

I think my fav diner in NJ still has this game in it's entranceway.... :D

I still play this game...

it doesnt suck,blazblue music owns!!!!

Blazblue music is amazing.

Biased pricks. Seriously... Either biased or without any acknowledge of what's quality videogame music. Nothing new coming from random people here...

Under Heavens Destruction (the name of the music) seems to becoming pretty prevalent in combo videos throughout the past year. Whatever, it's awesome. These combos are stupefying, I remember Children of the Atom, but so vaguely.

capcom fanboys everywhere.

How I miss hand drawn Capcom games :( mvc2 should have been fully drawn backgrounds like this and not the crappy graphics it had. Anyway thus brings back memories of being in 6th grade dying to play it by my house in a video club. Too bad the ps1 version sucked and Saturn was the way to go but I didn't have one :( everyone should play this game one time in they life though it's what started the vs trend.

I miss Iceman...

amazing great vid this game ruled back then

ARCTIC ATTACK!

Man, the thing I hate about these Marvel games is that they're honestly really fun to play, but they're so goddamn broken that it's just pointless to play them with people who know how to really play them, as in do the infinites and other garbage.

Stay Free you have to consider that when these games came out in the arcade. People were generally unaware that combos like this were possible, I never saw anyone in the arcade use combos like this. There were no training modes etc and no youtube for people to go and watch combo vids, even the best local arcade players weren't this good. I don't even think there was a training mode on the home versions. No one among my peer group could pull off these combos on their home systems. So what appears possible now hadn't been conceived at the time. If you compare it to the current fighting game scene every new combo and glitch appears online and is exploited by players who are only in it for the rank and the win.Thus making it boring and broken than it ever was.

Peace.

P.S Shout to my arcade crew who remember when it was purely about hanging around on Saturday Afternoon and playing for the fun of it.

I MISS CYCLOPS

@old_school_rival
I don't know how anything you said makes any differance to playing the game NOW.

My point being when this game was released it probably had a four year shelf life, at the most. The staff at Capcom probably didn't conceive these combos were possible and it can't be patched out etc. Upon it's release Children of the Atom wasn't broken; it's taken seventeen odd years for this stuff to appear. MVC3 on the other hand is broken simply because all of these glitches, infinites etc were apparent and exploited from the outset.

What? These CotA infinites and other dumb stuff have been known for YEARS. It's not like they were invented last Thursday. The Marvel VS. series has been known as a broken piece of work since forever.
