X-Men vs. Street Fighter

i also grew up saying ben really instead of ben reilly so you know you know take my take my pronunciation with a grain of salt

um there was something that i remember i mean as a kid i remember uh the very first time I played Street Fighter, you know, I don't know anything about the game.

My cousin called Dhalsim Dialysm.

Yeah.

is he touchtone or rotary

yeah i'm like what that makes that makes more sense

oh those street fighter names uh i still to this day and i love street fighter i don't some days i'll say ryu some days i'll say ryu um so i

think i think the video just went up today i did ray mysterio is ryu from the street fighter line And I talk about that on there.

not so binary dead or alive.

It's a spectrum, right? So, like, bro, I want to play X-Men versus Street Fighter.

I've been playing for the past year or two with the same 10 people.

I can't get on at 6 a.m. and play.

Like, that's the other thing to give Avatar credit.

Like, it released as an incomplete package, and I also agree with your whole expectations opener thing.

absolutely like i can excuse a lot of shit if your game is like a budget game it costs less than full price there's expectations set up front and it's really fucking fun right the shit that avatar gets away with i would have massacred street fighter 4 because it's a different role in the scene same thing with to a scale right like those have different roles and marvel token as well marvel token has a different role the expectations for marvel token is it should have blown up like they absolutely shit the bed and failed on that front and that's going to contribute to the vibes being terrible Uh, but you know, the thing you brought up about X-Men versus Street Fighter and playing that and having fun, it's like, how much money are you making from that? I still feel like there's this underpinning of all of this.

It's like, dude, we're pro players.

Wolverine, born in the 1974 pages of The Incredible Hulk, created by Len Wein and John Romita, Sr.

He is kicked over to Margle's then struggling team-up comic, The X-Men, led by Chris Claremont in 1975, as he introduces a new team, including modern favorites like Nightcrawler Storm, and, of course, Wolverine 2, Cyclops Beast, and Jean Grey.

This brings X-Men into what is kind of inarguably its most popular era ever.

Kids, adults, critics, and bean counters are all about Professor Xavier's mutants, culminating in the relaunch of X-Men number one in 1991, which still holds the record of the best-selling comic of all time at around 8 million issues.

If you weren't there...

It's hard to understand why the, I think it might be hard for someone maybe Emmet's age to understand why X-Men was so special and important.

But that's what I'm sort of hoping to highlight with our look at Wolverine here.

And Wolverine is very special to me and he felt fresh because he's only a little older than I am.
