Video summary
The video captures an intense and humorous final session of a beta test for Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls, where the creator admits to playing eight hours straight out of addiction before the game's official release. The footage showcases high-stakes matches featuring iconic characters like Black Panther, Spider-Man, Wolverine, and Iron Man, highlighting both the excitement of new mechanics and the frustration of technical issues such as lag that occasionally disrupts the flow of combat. Throughout these battles, the creator engages in a lively back-and-forth with opponents or teammates, reacting to specific moves like "jumping web balls," "magic assists," and various mix-ups while expressing disbelief at their own mistakes and near-misses during critical moments.
A significant portion of the commentary focuses on the unique gameplay dynamics introduced by characters such as Miss Marvel, whose assist is described as overwhelmingly active and sometimes difficult for opponents to guard against effectively. The creator frequently discusses strategy regarding overhead attacks versus low moves, noting how certain inputs like Spider-Sense can feel broken or unfairly advantageous depending on timing and execution. There are moments of self-deprecating humor where the player admits to being a "scrub" compared to high-level competitors, particularly when dealing with lag-induced errors that cost them rounds against skilled players who have mastered peak fighting game mechanics from titles like Dragon Ball Fighters.
Despite the setbacks caused by technical glitches and personal mechanical struggles, such as failing to execute quarter-circle forward inputs or misjudging heavy attacks without sufficient assist meter, the overall tone remains one of genuine enjoyment and learning. The creator treats each loss not just as a failure but as valuable data for improvement, acknowledging that overcoming fear in clutch situations is essential for growth. As confidence wavers during difficult sets against formidable opponents like Black Panther's pressure or Wolverine's adamantium claws, the video concludes with a reflective note on how accepting one's current limitations and continuing to play despite embarrassment are vital steps toward mastering this new fighting game experience.

The brand new Marvel fighting game,
Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls, is almost
here, but it's not yet. Thankfully,
because of my addiction to the game, I
genuinely played for like eight hours on
the final day of the beta just to hold
me over for the last couple of days
until the game's official release. If
you want to see more videos when the
game comes out, make sure to leave a
like on this one and subscribe to the
channel because we are definitely going
to be doing a whole lot more when the
game drops. With that said, let's get
into the final games of the beta.
Vibran, this guy's vibranium, right? I'm
about to get jumped
>> today. I'm serving a New York special. A
spider knuckle sand.
>> That's right. That's the confidence I
need, especially against a Black Panther
vibranium ranked player. Oh no, dude. I
need my two H's need to be on point this
match. So does my neutral. And he has
FGC in his name. He's serious. Holy
confirms. I'm glazing him every every
option, every opportunity. I'm going to
glaze early screen break. I mean, that's
that's good.
>> I wanted a two H there. I just didn't
cuz I thought it would it would Let's
go.
>> Talk to me. Talk to me. You made a big
mistake.
>> Oh no.
>> I'm here.
>> Understood.
>> [ __ ]
>> Grab. Oh, nice.
>> Nice timing.
>> Okay then.
>> Wow. Oh my [laughter] god. That was
actually so nuts. That was actually so
nuts. The jumping web balls. I mean, it
might not have been smart, but
>> leave it to me.
>> Wow.
>> Beautiful.
>> I can't believe that doesn't work.
>> Did I do that wrong? I probably did that
wrong. If I did it right, I mean, it
would have looked completely different.
All right. When we get the chance to
roll, we're not going to roll. We're
going to stay in the corner. Little bit
of lag.
>> Oh, I don't think we're going to get the
chance to roll.
You can't stop me.
>> All right, we don't roll.
>> That's really bad.
>> You bet.
>> Crossover. Perfect. Nice. It had to come
eventually. Roll out.
>> You're still active, Miss Marvel. Get a
job. You were You were on screen for
like 40 minutes before you attacked.
>> That was kind of nice.
>> I'm here.
Understood, Spider-Man. Okay,
>> Miss Mar, Bro, Miss Marvel's assist is
so active. She's just swinging her arms.
If I get hit, it's my fault. It's fine.
>> Nice. Damn, that Miss Marvel assist is
kind of crazy. Is that a back assist,
though? It's not that crazy for a back
assist, if I'm being honest.
>> I'm getting expo. Damn. [laughter]
What's crazy is it's not even that bad.
Aside from
[laughter]
>> But this is a good m I don't want it to
end. Not like this. It's being tainted,
bro. Like I can win this match
>> now when I Dude, I have to I I can't
play defense. I can't play defense
normally. You expect me to guard against
this? You expect me to guard against
this?
>> Perfect.
>> That was a perfect. I don't know if the
lag makes up for that, though. I What?
Come on. Come on, man. You can't do this
to me. I'm I'm enjoying the [laughter]
Let's go. He dropped it because of the
lag. That's right. I was born in 19
frames. You've never played Dragon Ball
Fighters at its peak. Aka its worst,
bro. In 19 frames before the roll back
update before like technology. I was
there, you weren't. That's what's going
to separate us today. I know he's mad as
hell. He thinks this is my internet. It
might be to him. I'm just a Diamond
Three scrub.
>> You're my mission right now.
I I can't with Miss Marvel assist plus
lag is actually like when does she stop
attacking? Guys, what are the odds I
still win this? What is that?
What What are the odds? Ah,
god damn it. That was a really I know
this is going to sound crazy, but that
was a really fun already I got fired
from Diamond 3. It was a fun match. I
wish there wasn't lag. Phoenix Cyclops
is such a weird pick. This game loves
their oddballs. I would have done normal
Cyclops, too. I've never heard of
Phoenix Cyclop. Oh, we got the good map.
Holy [ __ ]
>> This is a vibranium uh opponent, so we
do have to get on our best behavior now.
>> I could have done way better than that.
>> Overhead.
Love it.
[ __ ]
>> Nice. Very nice.
>> Oh god, that was a bad back dash. Bad
parry in the corner. He's going to get
at least one teammate here for sure.
Right.
>> Really?
W Oh, he got robbed. Let's not I gave it
back to him. I gave it back to him. I
It's like catch and release. Catch and
release. He should not have gotten hit.
So I had If I'm going to be ethical, I
got to let him go. I got to let him go.
That's only ethical.
I wanted to. Ah, it sucks that you can't
just spam spider sense. I guess that
would be broken, though.
>> All right. Usually he doesn't get me on
tech roll. I should just keep tech
rolling. He's not chasing it at all.
Spider sense. Did I mean to do it? You
decide.
>> I just cannot for the life of me get
right.
>> Love it. We have one green baroot.
[screaming]
And I didn't use it
>> because I don't need it.
>> Okay, then
shoot.
>> Oh, are you serious? And then that
didn't go off.
>> Perfect. You're all alone in this crazy
world.
>> He's really getting eaten alive by the
Spider-Man overhead.
>> Oh god.
Ah, this does so much damage.
>> Can't say I didn't warn you.
>> Damn, bro.
>> Get that planet moving.
>> I'm here.
>> What a grab. I had to get brave for a
second. Run up. Grab. All right. Come
on. We We're We haven't been playing
this stage to its actual like
>> Watch the overhead.
>> Wolverine.
>> Watch the overhead. Wolverine.
Ah, he went low that time.
>> Y'all like that mixup or what?
>> Shoot.
>> Here we go.
>> You like that mixup, Wolie? Come on. I'm
playing the game right now. You got to
guess high or low. Same. Same as you
made me.
>> Ah, magic assist.
>> It's really good. I can't complain. I
mean, it's really good. I know it's
really good. What a block. He's going to
go overhead. I knew I said it before he
did it. I knew he was going to go
overhead. I saw it in his eyes. All
right. We always tech forward against
this guy. He never plans around it.
>> This is the longest. Is that the longest
combo I've ever seen in my life?
>> He's doing DHS.
He doesn't want me to get the three
clean sweep. I'm going to not tech.
>> Ah, he actually jailed me with the jabs.
Jailed me with the jabs. I like it.
What's wrong here?
>> Damn.
>> Damn. I wasted so many I wasted so many
bars trying to get in.
>> Let me go. Let me go.
>> Try to try to treat this this game as
data cuz we need to win the next one if
we don't win this.
>> I've got this.
A
>> wise decision.
Oh, magic. You tried your best.
>> Um, that was me. That was all me. I went
for web slang. I didn't think you'd get
so aggressive. I didn't block. Okay.
Okay. That was data. That was data. It's
going to be It's going to be It's going
to be 22. It's going to be 2. Don't be
afraid. It's in these moments. It's when
you're feeling fear that you can only be
brave. Oh, wait. Magic assist. Let's go.
>> Iron Man. Ah, damn. Tech roll that way.
>> Where you going?
Oh no. He's going to He's going to get
the first shot. He's going to get the
first shot. He's got 150. He could took
on assemble right now. So So can I. He
might not know though.
>> Oh god. Does he know? Oh, I'm just going
to mash it out. Who cares? I got to put
this man in the cocoon.
Come on, guys. Look at us. We're We're
such good friends, man. We're such good
friends. You know, I really got to say
this feels
unfair.
>> You know what? You need a spider.
>> I'm on it.
>> Oh my god, it hit.
>> Why did that not work?
>> [ __ ]
>> Okay, then.
>> No. No.
>> Let's go, Penny.
>> No. Let's do this.
>> Oh, the DHC limit. No, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, NO.
>> NO, WE HAD IT. I just had to go low
more. He figured out the overheads, but
he was so afraid of them. What a battle.
Hold on.
>> You need my help.
>> Nice. I can't believe he won that trade.
>> Okay. And he's he's tracking me down a
little more.
>> Nice. Two H too. Hey, can't get too
jumpy. Can't get too jumpy.
[groaning]
>> Don't get too jumpy now.
>> Oh, I rolled into him. Bad round. Bad
round. Bad round. We're better than
that. We're better than that. I hope
that doesn't have to be the end of our
story.
>> He's tracking me down, bro. He's so
fearless right now. We got to give him a
reason to be afraid again.
>> Oh, and that did so much damage cuz of
Penny.
>> I've got this.
A damn.
>> Even though I finally went low.
>> Hey, we got magic.
>> Oh, I could have just held it in.
I don't I don't hate our odds of winning
this though. Oh, wait. We get up against
the wall from that. Holy [ __ ]
Adamantium Claws. Okay, that's not the
super I thought it was. Oh, just block
low. Come on, man. Come on.
>> Shoot.
>> We're not dead.
>> There you are.
>> Okay,
>> my god. If I play like that, I will be
though.
>> You need my help, Wolverine.
>> I'm not even close to that. I wasn't
even in the air. I just I stuck out on
medium. These two H's are ripping me
apart. Second place.
Love the second place.
>> Okay, then.
>> Wow.
>> Okay.
>> I've got this.
>> Nice. Two H. Okay. Okay. That was nice.
>> You need my help.
>> He can't to on assemble cuz he's not at
risk of losing, believe it or not.
DHC could do three. I don't think it'll
kill us either way.
>> Iron Man. He hasn't played Iron Man. He
might be trying to lame us out.
>> Shut up.
[laughter]
>> I knew he was going to get cocky, bro.
Sit your ass down. You're not dead.
>> Okay, then. [screaming]
>> Can't beat that magic assist. It's so
good. You can't escape by jumping.
>> Leave it to me.
>> What's wrong? What's wrong? That's not
what I wanted. I I got to do more lows.
>> Oh,
you [ __ ]
>> Spider shoot.
>> Spider boot.
>> Not today. Take this.
>> No.
>> Beautiful.
>> Love it.
>> Spider boot.
Spider.
>> Come on. Come on.
>> I'm not done yet. I'm not done with this
set yet. I got to prove that.
>> Oh no. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
No. No. Not like this. He's got a lot of
meter. Oki was terrible. I did not have
the Oi.
>> Should have done token assemble, but it
was so much bar.
>> Leave it to me. Wolverine. Okay, then
>> get ready.
>> Savage Instinct for huge damage.
>> Huge damage.
But now we got to see his OI.
[laughter]
>> Simple web shot. Two two. We clawed back
and now we've got more meter. We've got
more energy.
>> And somehow he won that trade. Even
though I wanted to go head up too, bro.
I wanted it just as much.
>> Walking away.
Let's go.
>> Let's end this.
>> Okay, I broke it. He can't dodge,
though.
>> Let's go.
>> Oh, I didn't I didn't know how that
worked.
>> No way.
>> You need my help.
>> I'm here.
>> [ __ ]
>> Crossover.
>> Okay then.
>> Damn it. Iron Man. Poor timing on my
Iron Man call. He drops it, too. That's
just ethical. If I drop, he drops.
>> Hey,
how did I miss that? No, I finally went
low. I finally went low to mix him up.
>> There's got to be a way, right? I mean,
he's got to drop this. He has 100 for
the Savage Instinct. Please don't kill
me. If it doesn't kill me, I'll win.
Trust me, I'll win. But it has to not
kill me. Give me this one chance to
prove you to prove to you I can, took.
Thank you, Tokon.
>> Pass out whatever.
>> I'm here. my okay then nothing
>> this is for what are we what are WE
TALKING ABOUT WHAT ARE WE TALKING about
why DID I GET SPIDER OH that's how we
lose the set I got spider sense damn
tough loss trying to clear from my mind
trying to clear from my mind oh no it's
going to be an even tougher loss you got
to remember we're two people that don't
know each other Like we don't know how
each other plays. We got to feel it out.
Oh, they have Spider-Man on their team,
too.
>> Over. Damn. I got humbled pretty early
in the set.
I didn't need the overhead there.
>> Love it.
>> Okay, then.
>> No, I meant to do the light.
Oh, you blocked that. Okay, so you're
not you're not ready for the overhead
lifestyle then.
>> Oh, no. I thought she was going to do
the like the dive.
[groaning]
>> All right, we'll just break the We'll
just break the stage. I'm getting
nervous.
>> Anytime.
>> No, I meant to call assist. Why did I
click R1 for that? I wanted Iron Man
fighter experience.
Oh, that that's unfortunate for you.
>> Now, you're probably thinking, did that
just really cost me the match?
>> 100. No, no, it didn't because I'm bad,
too.
Knew she wouldn't be ready for that.
Yeah, Black Panther's pressure is really
insane.
No, I I swear I'm trying to get this.
Not that that helped me there at all.
Try to web up. Be a little safe.
Nice.
>> Standard stuff.
>> I probably could have done a better
combo, but let's just get magic.
>> I'm here.
>> Really? You blocked high. You block high
low a lot.
>> I've got this.
I like how Iron Man just lied his ass
off. He did not get that.
>> My green bar came back. I might have
been able to push for a kill.
>> They are not stopping me on that fake
websit. I'm going to keep doing it. It
might be fake, but if it if in their
mind it's real, that's the only place it
matters.
>> Okay,
>> I'm on it.
>> I'm here.
>> Let's go.
>> Excuse me.
>> I can't believe how often she's blocked
that correctly. Like I feel like I've
I've truly been pretty random with it.
Like I've gone overhead. I've gone low.
>> I've got this.
>> Oh, that doesn't work.
>> You got it.
>> Nice counter.
>> Beautiful counter. You talk.
>> Understood. Spider-Man.
>> God.
>> Leave it to me.
>> I wasn't blocking. What? What was I
doing? I definitely wasn't being
aggressive.
>> 100 bar.
>> Count. Crossover.
>> Oh god. I got to stop web zipping.
>> My web zipping ways are getting me
killed.
>> Jeez. That's a nice way to win it.
That's a nice way to win it. Iron Man
coming. I dropped this. Thank you, my
man. Appreciate you, man. Chase down.
The confidence is shifting in the room.
I I can definitely feel the confidence
stocks leaving my side.
>> I want to explore your body.
>> What? What the [ __ ] Now is not the
time, dude. I am I am trying to get to
vibranium rank and what are you talking
about?
>> How much did Tyen pay you, dog?
>> Okay then.
level.
>> Oh god, I'm going to have to wake up
Super level two because I'm that the
hell. Oh, I did spider sense instead of
super. Wow, now I look just now I look
like I actually did something smart. I
was trying to be stupid.
>> Got room for another when exploring.
[laughter]
>> Oh no. How did that not counter? Now
it's two two. Two two and I have two
people trying to explore my body. What
the [ __ ] are we talking about?
I'm I'm getting owned. I'm getting
actually owned right now.
>> Make it three. The body going to get
exploded.
>> What the [ __ ]
I got to turn text to speech, man. I got
to turn this [ __ ] off. I'm trying to
play toe. Let's go. What the How many
this is this?
>> Okay.
>> I'm here.
Shoot.
>> God, I'm nice.
>> I'm nice. No wonder everybody's trying
to explore the body, bro. Cuz this is
just this is different fighting gameplay
in the clutch.
>> Oh, what a two H. Wait, you're nice,
too.
>> I never knew you were nice at the game.
Wait, I got to use spider sense to win
this. No, not that. Anything but this
150 meter, by the way. Ex bar. Maybe
they spend it all on EX. They can't. I'm
so dead. Miss. Ah, I lost the easiest
set in my life. I lost the easiest set
of my life. Any magic tips? No, not
really. I I only have magic on my team
for her broken assist. Beautiful.
>> Beautiful.
>> I've got this.
I got to remember to web zip there cuz I
did the force shrink combo again.
>> Still a pretty good start though. I
mean, I'm not going to complain about
that.
>> I'm here
really. Okay.
>> Oh, I definitely probably could have two
hedged that. I don't think that was the
real one.
>> Oh, I'm sliding.
>> I'm I'm I'm getting I'm getting I'm
getting scared.
>> I've got this.
I didn't do the back. A I always mess up
the low, man. If anything, my lesson
today is like I got to work on just
doing the low. Like I need to go to
train just do it against the guy
blocking cuz I I don't even think about
the low. Drop it somehow.
>> Losing that game should not have
happened.
>> I should have just gone low and won.
Okay. All right. All right. More grabs,
too. More grabs, too. We have the full
team now, so I'm not worried. I'm not
alone anymore.
>> Beautiful.
There you are.
>> Beautiful.
>> I'm fine.
>> Yeah, [ __ ]
>> I'll let you guess if that's what I
wanted to do. If I wanted TO DO
SPIDERMAN, WHY WHY WOULD I do a DP right
there?
>> How is it I struggle with quarter circle
forwards? That's the one I don't
understand.
>> That's all I did on fighters. Straight
quarter circles all day.
Love it.
>> I didn't mean to do that. Oh, but they
can't roll.
>> You're perfected.
>> I'm here.
>> All right. I'm I'm ass.
>> Give me that.
>> Okay then.
>> I dropped it again. [laughter]
I dropped it again. No. If I lose this
one, I'm I'm going to have a mental
break.
>> As predicted,
>> is the mental break inbound?
>> Here I go.
Please don't. Please don't.
>> I was going to say the combo has to
break eventually. Oh no. [laughter]
Spidey sense move is so bad.
>> Uh yeah, you really don't use it all too
often. I don't know what they can do to
make it better, obviously, but
[groaning and screaming]
I've got this.
>> I wish I could use it more cuz I love
counters.
>> Okay,
>> my goat is
down here.
>> Nice.
>> Little cross up.
>> I'm here.
I need to use more EX moves, too. No.
Quarter circle forward.
>> Why?
>> Oh my god,
>> you guys. I'm so ass.
>> I'm so ass right now. What happened? We
were We were on fire for a little bit
and now my mechanics are betraying me.
Or did I just never have them to begin
with?
>> But yeah, respect that.
>> Give me the gra. Ah, I was too obvious.
I was too obvious. I showed my hand. I
showed my hand.
>> We are not calling for a Spider-Man
buff. Why not?
>> What the [ __ ] was that move? What?
[laughter and gasps]
I've never seen that [ __ ] in my entire
Tokon career. My illustrious three-day
tokon career.
>> Let's go.
>> Oh, no.
>> I Yeah, it was it was a grab that I
wanted.
>> I've got this.
>> Take this. Get that.
>> Okay, take this.
I did not need the level two, bro.
>> See what happened there is called like
accepting that I'm a loser, bro. I was
like, I'm going to drop the combo, so
I'm just going to do a super. And then I
held forward before I just clicked the
simple input. So, I got the level two.
All right. Well, we've worked our way
back into the game. Let's see if we can
win it. [screaming]
>> I2 H. Oh, just enough time.
>> Let's go. Ah.
If you can't stop that,
>> I'm not going to respect you if you
can't stop that.
>> Why did that not work?
>> All right. Nice. Nice. I got greedy. I
got greedy. I wanted the cross up.
>> Oh, you thought I was going to tech out.
I'm not afraid.
>> You can't. I hate that you can't H that
one. Obviously, she should probably have
that, but man,
>> don't don't assemble on me.
>> Okay, it's not the assembly.
>> I've never seen this super though. Look
pretty sick.
>> What if I
>> WHAT A GRAB. OH, I can't even be mad.
>> Player one.
>> That's fine. We're going to tear up
right here. Can you do Spidey's counter
midair? No, I don't think you can.
Honestly, not much of his of the stuff
he can do is is very midair accessible.
You can web zip midair, though.
>> How do we clash there?
>> Nice.
>> I've got you,
>> Iron Man.
All right, I'm I'm being way too slow
now. Now I'm like thinking way too hard
about what I want to do.
>> See, I'm Wow, why did that grab hurt so
much? That [ __ ] did like a million
damage.
>> Love the grab. Can't roll out. Wow.
Unfortunate. I should have called the
assist.
>> Okay then.
What? I can't believe the heavy didn't
stop that. All right, it's fine.
>> Fine. Heavy doesn't stop it. We're okay
with that. Why? Because we love a
challenge.
>> Here I go.
>> We love a challenge. I'm not going to
roll out. Oh, I can't roll out,
honestly. [screaming]
>> Ah, wait.
>> Not you.
Let it me.
[screaming]
>> Gotcha. Hey, I saw that two H, buddy. I
saw that two H. It's a matchmaking bug.
Oh [ __ ] I didn't even know about that.
I'm glad I haven't been. Uh,
>> I'm here.
>> No. Yeah, I that was really poor Iron
Man timing.
>> I think that's why I'm I'm not spamming
my assist enough in neutral, to be
honest.
>> I've got this.
I'm here.
>> Come on.
>> No.
>> Delivery
>> bomb.
You can't be serious. Embarrassing.
[screaming]
No biggy.
>> Ah, low. I'm not blocking that.
>> I'm on it.
>> Okay then.
>> Leave it to me.
>> I'm here.
>> Really? You knew I was not going to
pressure you anymore after one light?
Oh, let's go.
Blade, you shot me. Okay, that's two.
All right, let's fight. Let's fight. I
did not win last set, unfortunately. And
I I hate that I have to admit it, but
maybe that's the first step to getting
better.
>> Spider boot.
>> I've got
no
[groaning]
>> Let's go. Perfect.
>> I'm here.
>> Let's go. Come on.
Play it to me.
>> Let's go.
[screaming and groaning]
>> Come on. I'm not losing this set. I'm
not losing this set. Let's go. Let's go.
Let's go. Let's go.
>> How did that medium hit not hit? I'm
losing this set. No. No. No. Confidence
is still real.
>> That's got to be a drop. I was wrong.
Why do I Why?
>> Let's go. Because I knew it would reset.
>> Shoot.
>> There you are.
>> I've got this.
>> I'm
chase down. Good chase down. I can't
lie.
>> One more chance. I need one more chance.
>> As long as this doesn't kill me. Excuse
me. No. No.
[screaming]
>> No. Overcommitted to the heavy with no
assist meter.
It's a very mean mistake to make. I
can't be that upset. I can be very upset
at myself. That sucked, man. I
overcommitted on the heavy. Way
overplayed my hand.
Heat. Heat.
