Video summary
The video centers on a competitive match featuring the Marvel Token character Hulk, highlighting his immense power and the specific technical skills required to master him. Although Hulk is known for his ability to deal massive damage with single hits and execute unblockable setups, the narrator emphasizes that he is also a main character for them who demands respect from opponents. The gameplay showcases advanced techniques recently discovered or refined, such as precise re-jumps, strategic assist calls involving teammates like Miss Marvel and Ms. Marvel, and the effective use of overhead attacks to counter armored defenses. Despite Hulk's terrifying potential to wipe out health bars instantly, the match demonstrates that success relies heavily on timing these complex inputs correctly rather than relying solely on raw strength.
Throughout the intense series, the narrator struggles with the pressure of high-level play, often admitting to fear and panic when facing aggressive opponents who utilize mix-ups from characters like Spider-Man, Blade, and Loki. The transcript reveals a back-and-forth battle where the team frequently loses rounds due to mistimed counters or failed assist calls, leading to situations where they are forced to scramble for survival against overwhelming offense. A significant portion of the commentary focuses on the mechanics of blocking overheads, managing the green bar meter to prevent being cornered, and executing "magic" assists to maintain momentum. The narrator frequently reflects on their own mistakes, noting that while they possess powerful combos, hesitation and emotional reactions often lead to costly errors that allow opponents to capitalize on openings.
The match ultimately serves as a lesson in the evolution of playstyle, transitioning from reckless aggression to a more patient, defensive approach when necessary. The team faces a difficult opponent who excels at creating pressure with characters like Spider-Man, forcing the Hulk player to adapt their strategy and avoid over-correcting into panic-induced mistakes. Even though the team manages to secure a narrow victory in a sweaty, high-stakes tournament setting, the narrator acknowledges that they did not fully live up to the potential of the new techniques demonstrated earlier in the video. The experience underscores the reality that while Hulk is a character capable of one-shotting enemies, mastering him requires consistent practice with specific combos, wall splats, and tag pressure tactics to overcome top-tier opponents who refuse to play passively.

Oh, wow. So lucky.
>> [screaming]
>> That's the rock.
Hulk, everyone knows this character is
strong, but Marvel token players know it
a little bit better than most. With the
ability to take entire health bars away
off of one hit, insane unblockable
setups, this is a character you have to
be very afraid of whenever he's on a
team. He's also my main, which is why
today I want to go into ranked and show
off even more Hulk tech that's been
discovered recently. While hopefully
using all of this to get some easy
ranked wins. But if we want to get to
that master rank, we need to win right
here and right now. That's all we need
to do, man. I'm just scared. I'm just
scared going into it. We just need to
show off the new stuff we've learned
with Hulk. Not like this.
We even got the crazy map. All right,
we're going to get our instantaneous
counter that did cost us our only green
bar, though.
No green bar means no assist. Oh, it
doesn't matter. Do the rejump. Hey. Hey.
Hey. Hey. Hey. I should have done the
different rejump, but I was scared. I
was scared. I didn't have my right
my right assist call. So I had to fall
down and actually like clap with it.
Woo, double grab with Miss Marvel. Hold
and now I just got caught. I thought
worst I thought I would get 2H.
A lot of combo time left on this one.
Assist gauge as well, but going to drop
it. We're just going to counter out.
Counter out, but we got to watch the
stretchy limbs.
Beautiful.
No, we let it drop. All right, we need
some assist calls ourselves.
Hey, be careful. They
Oh, no. Oh, but they tried to counter
me. They don't know that I'm worse than
they thought.
Ah, I got shot by Deadpool. I was really
looking for any chance to land a medium
punch there. We just let one too many
opportunities go by and didn't Nobody
really utilize the wall. It was kind of
a
Oh, what are we talking about?
Hold on, let's see if we can hit it.
Hey, that's called re-jumps. That's
called I dropped it, guys.
But we get the perfect. You got to
respect this now.
And a grab is the perfect answer to my
armor. That was actually genius.
I can't even be mad. They're just
applying pressure with an overhead.
Oh, but the perfect counter. Still
disassembles, so no time.
Guys, we're too tall. It's like it's
like Dragon Ball FighterZ, early Dragon
Ball FighterZ. We're too tall. I'm just
getting assaulted with overheads. 2H.
There is even
Okay, we could have definitely done
that.
Oh, no. This is going to suck.
We have to just Oh, I didn't have the
level 100. No.
Get up.
Oh my god, that could have been bad. We
do not want to drop two rounds for this.
Wait, I'm going to TRY SOMETHING.
OH, NO. [screaming]
THE CLUB DOESN'T pick up the kill. Are
we
All right, we we have messed around for
two We are getting beaten by a one
assist.
We got to talk to him.
I'm sorry, but at this point you need to
get a talking to. No fancy, we're just
playing Hulk.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for this.
I'm sorry for nothing.
I'm sorry for nothing. I'm doing all of
this damage.
We're going to start with a logo instant
overhead. Oh god.
That's called magic. Oh, we could have
easily gotten a perfect. No. We're down
two rounds. We can't afford to lose
anything else. Ideally, we also make
sure that they just Yeah, you die.
Ideally, we make sure they get no wall
splat, so they just have to build up
their team through losses,
but it's not going to be pretty either
way.
All right, we want to spam our magic
assist. Magic is
Okay, not good.
Just block the overhead, man. It's one
overhead. We need to block one overhead.
If we don't block one overhead, we
deserve to lose.
Magic assist fishing for something. Oh,
we hit Deadpool.
Oh, we're still not blocking it. We're
only landing a counter.
Are we Are we serious? That's how we
lose?
We hit that.
I'm countering nothing. Oh, we're just
spamming counters. I think we all know
the end is near, but for who? For me, it
was It was always for me. But, um not a
great first set. What are we at in rank
point?
This is such an easy game set to win,
not game. We lost the game. Except that
we lost the game, we did show off some
new Hulk stuff. So, it's not over. We
all could We also could swap a little
more.
Uh Oh, that's not That's not the rejump,
man.
We almost had the rejump, though.
That's not the assist I wanted.
We don't get the mash. Good timing on my
opponent. We're not going to mash again.
We just block overhead.
That's not the overhead. You got to You
got to end with heavy if you want the
overhead.
I mean, rejump. Sorry, overhead. What am
I talking about?
A lot of combo time, but I don't know if
they have the Oh, wall splat. Nice.
You didn't do a wall splat all last set.
I kind of forgot you had that option.
I kind of forgot my opponent could wall
splat. They chose not to.
Terrible start again for us. But, we we
Look, if we're If you're working on new
things, then work on the new things,
right?
Block the overhead.
Play some classic defense.
All-American defense here. Nothing
crazy.
All right. All right. We took a chance
with the EX rock. We didn't need to EX
it.
We We finally blocked an overhead.
Not negative. It is EX, so we just have
to keep blocking afterwards.
What's the damage looking like?
Man, we could also get some swaps in
here.
God damn. Like, we did not need to get
beaten over the head that much.
Oh, wow.
Not the goal, but we bait out Oh, let's
go. Uh uh uh
Oh, that could have been so much better.
Oh, we'll take the medium rock overhead.
Wasn't my plan? No, but we'll take it.
Sometimes I hate that we're turning to
scrambles to win the game.
I I really want Hulk to be able to just
Let's go.
This should be beautiful.
Nice and easy, guys. Nice and easy.
Okay, we'll take it. Now we medium clap
for Okie.
The medium clap Okie did go according to
plan, we just dropped it.
Perfect? Not perfect.
Oh we get the overhead and now we can
continue the combo. We'll play it safe.
We're going to do just
Oh, we didn't have any OH, WE JUST GOT
ENOUGH. WE JUST got enough, baby. That's
what I love to see.
I went for a I went for a Hulk.
I went for a high difficulty Hulk combo.
I could have just punched and and just
won like that, but no, I got to get
fancy, bro. Of course.
What's the Again, what's the point of
winning if you're not using what you
learned in training mode?
Oh, no.
Oh god, I I'm having severe regrets.
This is how you lose tournaments.
>> [screaming]
>> Full combo in the corner.
We could also switch a little more.
There's no
All right. Oh, wow, we had Oh, I didn't
even know we had the bar. Okay, my bad.
I should have been less panicked. That
can kill.
Hey, beautiful two-round lead here.
Don't get caught.
I didn't do that right.
Overhead, nice. Countered by my
opponent.
Magic assist just to keep the pace.
Perfect! Hold him down. Magic assist.
Make sure he
He was not honest.
Oh, you are just running away now. You
don't want to Uh-oh.
Oh god, it was so delayed. It was so
delayed.
Black Panther assist and he converts off
that?
We do not need to take this game three.
I think we're going to game three.
Sometimes you just need to actually hit
it.
Sometimes you just need to hit the
re-jump in the clutch.
Okay, back up, medium fist.
Oh.
I was going to say.
We should be totally fine off that.
Oh, yes! I had to lock it. I had to lock
it. That was not how I expected it to
go, but that should be totally fine.
Beautiful. Now we just need to win the
set, though. We I'm glad we did the
re-jump in the clutch. Again, learning
these re-jumps, we're going to have to
do them.
Oh, nice air grab. There's so much I'm
not thinking about right now. Crossover,
we should have been punished for that.
Nice counter. I don't I can't blame you.
I do that a lot.
We'll take the wall splat.
All right, we'll just take an easy
super. Make sure we're ending it with
nice and good.
Oh god.
Oh, you just want to get out of this
corner, though.
Oh!
>> [laughter]
>> Not that two H from Hulk. You got to sit
down when I'm talking to you. I'm in the
corner mashing it. This is why this is a
beautiful thing.
Oh, nice.
I do need to be a bit more patient.
My defense in the tournament actually
was good. It's the least believable
sentence you'll ever hear from me.
All right, we can use a guy for this.
All right, we'll go into EX here. This
should buy us some time.
I was going to say, that should work.
Guys, was that not like
I promise you my Hulk is learning.
It might not seem very Hulk to do, but I
am learning as I evolve. I haven't even
switched. I might just go back to just
playing Hulk. Low key like get Carnage
out of here. Let's just play some
goddamn Hulk solo, no tags. I I'm
allowed to do it. It's Tokon. You can
play it however you want. Boss flat.
Very bad situation here.
Let's do the re-jump.
Hey. Hey. Hey. Oh no. That was poorly
timed.
Oh, but he just does it again. I'll
re-jump in the corner. I don't I don't
care.
Okay, we we messed it up.
Messed it up. We'll just do a different
variation of the combo. Medium one.
Okay, that that could have been way
worse. No perfect counter?
I try to just do a random super.
Overhead drops the combo for the reset.
We do block another overhead. One of
these days I will block it. You you have
to realize that.
There's only so much you can get by with
this.
Um one of those things is the round.
We'll we'll give the round to our
opponent, but that I'm getting caught by
Ms. Marvel's overhead. A lot of people
do seem to think And And you know, I
haven't been super tapped into the uh
the overall like um oh no way.
I can't believe I dropped that. I
haven't been super tapped into the tier
list for Marvel Tokon, but what I have
seen is a lot of people say that Ms.
Marvel's the worst, which is a little
surprising to me.
I thought in the beta she was good, but
I guess we didn't really know the game
in the betas.
Yeah, I'll take a re-jump every day.
All right, nice and easy.
Medium clap here.
Why did I do a second rock? Why did I
Oh, that kind of perfectly timed. I
wonder if that was okay. Like I mean,
why would you ever do that? They would
have to block overhead, I guess, but
like what what other trick is there in
that? Nice air grab. My opponent landing
a lot of air grabs.
Penny Parker assist. We could
Bossy overhead. Yeah, we're not
impressed by
Two overheads is even less impressive.
Oh, I got scared.
I actually got scared. Okay, good
defense to close it out.
And then I just mash.
Any assist doesn't quite get it.
It's just an assist game at this point.
Yeah, see it's about assist. Honestly, a
lot of times in this game at the very
end, it's about who has the better
assist and can call them and spam them
better. Now, there is Oh, that's the
set. There is deep [music] punishments.
I actually lost out of the tournament
because I got hit with a full team happy
birthday. That ruined my whole day, man.
But anyway, let's [clears throat] get
into the next game. Okay, going into set
two, not that it was necessarily my plan
in set one, but I would like to do a
little more um
you know, tagging. Spider-Man on my
opponent's team is a little scary, not
going to lie.
Loki does have easier mix-ups on great
pressure, man. Goes immediately into
Spider-Man.
That If that isn't the most Tokun thing
ever, bro. I I am very confident in
saying that I think Spider-Man might be
number one in the game, bro. Like, for
ease of access, for what you get out of
the character Can I get this rejump
though?
For what you get out of the character,
he is just insane, bro.
It is insane. [screaming]
Oh, I had no assist.
Oh, I have no I have no gauge.
Like, look at that. Overhead I I should
have just blocked overhead. If he has
any green meter, I think it's safe to
block overhead. But, when
Oh,
you should have never done that. Oh god.
No, run, Hulk.
Oh, you got to block.
You got to block. I love that. I love
See, he might be Spider-Man, he might
have the high-low instantaneous you got
to guess addition mix, but I got rock
mix.
That's even better. Wow, what a
conversion by this guy. Holy.
I have I do play some Loki, so I have a
a loose idea of what he's going for, but
he's already showing me that he's better
than me at Loki.
Already showing me in big ways, big time
damage.
Actually use the unique gauge.
That is real. Okay, I did not think that
was real. I didn't I didn't respect you.
I didn't respect that at all.
I die for that. Wow, that that was
That was impressive. No, that was that
was the most real perfect I've ever seen
in my life. That Yeah, no, you deserved.
Oh, and he he's got he's got blade on
the back.
Absolutely nuts, bro.
Blade on the back is just aggressive.
No.
Okay, I'm not really sure what Wait, am
I getting two for one here?
Okay, we'll take just the level one.
Just the level one.
Ah, nice counter. Just the level one
though, so we're still in a great
position to actually win this game.
We're going to block over it. Oh god.
He thought I would mash.
Oh god, I did not block that.
So, Blade is just pressure.
So, it doesn't matter where Blade is.
Let's see if I can't get that. No.
Magic assist.
Oh, he's got to block every which way.
Oh, he's got to block.
Crossover, he does let us get through
with it.
Do we just magic assist? And I got him.
I knew he didn't see that. I knew That's
why I called it out for you guys cuz you
would have thought it was luck if I
didn't say the magic assist right when I
did.
We'll take a two-one lead.
Okay, nice.
Blade assist, bro. Blade back assist is
nutty.
Gets the perfect, so our our years of
not getting punished for that is over.
He doesn't want to play.
How do we play against somebody that
doesn't want to play?
He didn't want to take advantage.
So, this is where I would love to be up
close and personal so I could
Oh, no. Yeah, we just have to call a
normal ass assist here.
Oh, no.
Oh, wow.
What the hell was he doing?
Oh, wow. So lucky.
I don't care about your assist. LET'S
THE ROCK.
>> [laughter]
>> THE ROCK is overhead. So, I went
instantly for it cuz he would thought I
was going to go low pressure.
Sorry, I was not commentating at the
end. I just I I was locked in, man. Like
he he tried to hit me with some fake
Loki [ __ ] bro. Puny god. Nice. But, can
you
Yeah, what do you do if I I'm just
literally how did I not confirm off of
that?
No.
I I'm just letting the easiest things
get by.
Nice air to air. He's finally starting
to click some buttons.
Yeah, I was I'm I'm clicking too much in
the air. We're just jumping and hitting
medium punch. It was working for a long
time. It's time to mix up the uh
We still have an at No.
What?
How does he control where it spawns in
from? I don't even know how you do that.
Good good [ __ ] Good [ __ ]
I would have loved for that to hit.
All right. This is where we're going to
put pressure on.
There it is. Beautiful.
So, Hulk does have good tag pressure.
Like if you can get your boys in here,
you can use that light rock and really
create a lot of pressure. I'm talking
about it now cuz obviously just because
Carnage's offense failed. Like that
doesn't mean that Hulk didn't set him
up.
I set him up for success.
And we we do have a bit of a carnage,
all right? I'm not going to lie and
pretend like my carnage isn't here.
We just got a guard now.
He's going out in the Okay, so the combo
hits, so he's not going into Spider-Man,
but I feel like if we if we did block
that, he was going into Spider-Man.
Barely enough meter.
Crossover, that was so risky.
Crossover again, we need to stop that.
I like that.
I like I like this. I think we kill off
this.
I dropped it.
Overhead, you did not mean to hit that
button. Let's be honest. Can we be
honest for 1 second? You did not mean to
hit that button. Why would you hit
armored overhead?
It combo drops. Get up and grab him. I
knew HE WOULD HAVE BLOCKED.
WELL, ACTUALLY he did block, but I knew
he wouldn't be ready for the grab is
what I meant to say. Holy route, let's
get let's get Hulk back out. We play
Hulk.
We do need one like another
We'll get the light rock.
Nice. Ah, we just failed at pressure.
I'm confident in our Penny, though, so
I'm confident in Penny. Penny won't let
us down here. Oh, except for when I have
to block.
That's something that, you know, that's
not even Penny's fault.
Don't just jump. Jump and hit a button.
I'm traumatized by the 1 2 H.
I said I was confident in our Penny, but
my Penny not looking too good right now.
Damn, big super. I think this might
kill.
Still had some time in the combo as
well, but at this point I think we're
cooked.
Yeah, at this point I think we're
cooked. So, what we're going to do is
we're going to very quickly try to put
the team back in order. So, let's go
Carnage and then Hulk. Nice.
We'll put the pressure on.
I can't believe it. I can't believe it.
I can't believe I can't believe he got
out. We just let him hit that?
That combos?
Combo's still going.
Not no wall splat though.
Are we not able to roll here? We are.
Love that. Oh, we don't get the combo
off of it though.
It was It was worth it, I think.
Magic.
Okay, that's fine.
Oh, we missed the oki. I'm so focused. I
just want to win this set.
Can I Can I Like, let me focus it.
Ah, I was I I I was not focused.
It's over. Unless
No, it was over. It was over. All right,
we're going 1-1.
We're going 1-1 here. That really sucks.
I just need to get the promos, man. I
know we would lock in in promos, but can
we lock in to get there? We're not even
seeing the Spider-Man. That's how we
know we're in a good Wait.
We're not going to We're not going to
get a rematch?
Oh, we get the rematch. He He was He was
taking a brief moment to collect
himself. I don't like that at all.
Okay, keep him at Keep him at bay with
these medium punches.
Oh, that clap would have been nutty.
Okay, why did Carnage abate I swear we
had so much more time than he gave us.
Spider-Man confirmed from afar.
Is that the tech? That looked practiced.
He's going to get a little more wall
time
and just an instant over.
I hate just Spider-Man. I actually hate
Spider-Man.
>> [laughter]
>> I actually hate this character, dog.
He's so good.
Meanwhile, I'm playing a character that
can like one-shot you from any health.
But still, bro, like Spider-Man is
crazy.
Nice.
We'll get a beginner's combo here.
Just in a wall splat.
Plenty of time.
Nice. Back up.
We just mistimed it.
Okay, we don't get anything there.
Aw, that sucks.
Oh!
Nice.
The
Oh, the double assist call. We took care
of Blade, so I loosened up my I loosened
up on my reactions. I thought Blade was
a
Oh, no.
Boss over, he wasn't ready.
Aw!
We were cooking We were cooking up
something, but not not much.
We locked the overhead.
The standard offense, standard offense
protocol.
We're giving him too much respect in
[music] the mind, like
we're really letting him just run the
offensive game and and face no mashing,
like
Oh, there's the armor.
He's not letting that rock He's not
letting that rock fly anymore.
If the rock's a question, he's going to
let it fly.
So, now we know.
We're not scrambling We're not
scrambling as good as he is. Like
actually, we need to up our scramble
ability. No!
Oh, I don't I hate losing that round
there.
I hate losing that round. They're going
down 2-0 is just not a good feeling.
Wow, he lose the mash, too?
That's never good.
That's never good. We let our emotions
do the talking and now we're getting
cooked for it.
Damn, hard.
Okay, we're in the corner.
Just don't mash. Like let's look for
some openings. Like I I say that, but
then I get mad at myself for not being
there in the scramble.
Love that. Love that patience.
I really do love the patience. We can
probably kill here.
Okay, we could have done so much more
than that.
We could have killed. If I just did a
super.
All right, that's death.
That's death. We didn't even have to EX
clap. I was just tired of being afraid.
Okay, win win one more. Win one more.
[music] This is definitely the sweaty
match of the day, hopefully.
Did not need to do that.
We did not need to do most
most of those assist calls. I feel like
we over over corrected, but if we can I
mean we got him half.
That's fine. He gets pushed out.
Block double overhead.
>> [screaming]
>> That's fine. He can't combo off that.
He can't combo off that.
That's fine. What does he get off that?
Nothing.
I'm blocking that. I'm blocking that.
I'm blocking that all god damn day. I
didn't even need the super.
I am I am a patient gamer, bro. I'm not
trying to get in there and win. We'll
take it to two rounds.
I always I lose that mash off every time
and yet I show up to the mash off
contest with a smile on my face. With a
smile on my face I show up to that same
contest every day. That drops. That
combo drops right there.
That exists.
We saw the penny performance earlier.
[music] Why were we so confident? Wait.
That was risky.
No way. No way we lose we lose we lose
we lose. We are out we are out.
>> No, not magic. I don't know how to play
magic.
And then we get hit with OVERHEAD
SPIDER-MAN TACTICS. OH, I SWITCHED into
magic. I have not learned magic yet. No,
everybody else on the game has but me.
Oh, why?
Damn, that was the sweaty match of the
day, man. I couldn't bring it home. But,
hopefully you guys enjoyed this video.
It's still, you know, I feel like we
showed off what we learned. I just I
didn't live up to it. 2-1, we'll take
it. I lost a lot of tournament sets like
that. Leave a like down below. Let me
know who else you want to see me play.
