While most of the Marvel Vs. community has been focused on Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 thanks to its new current-generation port on PlayStation 4, it isn’t the only “Mahvel” game that still draws competition in this day and age. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 was the original long-runner–with players competing for more than a decade–and still draws hype whenever it shows up.
At Northeast Championships 17 a couple of weeks back, two of Marvel’s best and brightest, Evil Geniuses’s Justin Wong and Michael “IFC Yipes” Mendoza went back to Marvel vs. Capcom 2 for an epic first-to-ten set. While the set itself wasn’t recorded, AG Hyo was on hand to record the set off stream.
In many ways, it’s a callback to the early days of MvC2, where direct feed recording was still a luxury, and fans had to rely on off screen recording like this to get their dose of Marvel hype.
In addition to this, there was also a Marvel vs. Capcom 2 side tournament at NEC 17. While the official videos have yet of the tournament have yet to be uploaded, Lemagicdude has shared an off screen capture of the set. The interesting thing here is that the video also captures some live crowd commentary from Yipes, Chris Matrix, and Noel Brown.
