Video summary

The video explores why Spider-Man has become an overwhelmingly popular choice for high-level players in Marvel's new fighting game, Tokon, immediately upon its release. The creator dives into a deep analysis of this character by facing off against top-tier opponents like Lefty and Blade Goldie to understand the mechanics that make him so dominant. Through these intense matches, it becomes clear that Spider-Man excels due to his versatile toolkit which blends simple fundamental strategies with complex execution options for advanced players. His ability to control space through web zipping combined with high-damage overhead attacks creates a formidable presence in neutral game situations, allowing skilled users to dictate the pace of the fight effectively. A significant portion of the gameplay revolves around managing Spider-Man's unique assist system and understanding when to commit resources versus holding back for defensive opportunities. The creator notes that while his basic moveset is straightforward—focusing on high-low mix-ups with overheads—he can also incorporate advanced techniques like crossovers if mastered correctly. However, a recurring theme in the matches is the danger of over-reliance on specific tools such as the crossover mechanic or Savage Instinct super move; opponents who adapt by baiting these moves and punishing them relentlessly demonstrate that Spider-Man requires constant adaptation rather than static playstyles. The video highlights how even experienced players struggle against his range and grab game, often finding themselves unable to land hits when forced into defensive scrambles where their momentum is disrupted. Despite the initial struggles faced during early rounds, particularly in matches ending with narrow losses or comebacks involving healing factors like Wolverine's Savage Instinct, the overall conclusion emphasizes that Spider-Man remains a highly fun and viable character for all skill levels. The creator advises players to avoid getting too aggressive too quickly by breaking walls prematurely or overusing meter-heavy supers without proper setup, as this leaves them vulnerable to counter-attacks from confident opponents. Ultimately, mastering Spider-Man involves balancing aggression with patience, utilizing his web-based mobility to create openings while respecting the punishing nature of his opponent's defensive options and ensuring that one does not fall into predictable patterns that can be easily exploited in high-stakes environments like Vibranium rank.

Everybody loves Spider-Man, and that includes the highest ranked players on Marvel's newest fighting game, Tokon. He is so popular, in fact, that on day one of the game's release, he was the most played character amongst Vibranium and higher ranks. And now that I've made it to that rank myself, I've decided to add my Spider-Man into the pile just to see what makes this character so good. If you like Tokon and want to see other characters featured on the channel, make sure to leave a like and let me know what characters you want to see down below in the comment section. But with that said, let's get into the games. Oh no. And for my first match, I'm going up against a a player I've seen a ton. It's Lefty the Wolverine. Also in vibranium now. Whoa. He even has Hulk on his team. That's kind of crazy. Before he did not have that, but now I got to cook because we all know why did I not have my assist overhead. Come on now, Lefty. You can't be getting caught by the classics. Now, what we're not going to do is web swing in to start the round. >> I did not get the perfect timing. Oh, we will land the counter though. That's going to take us off. We're just going to go for it. >> Okay, right now he's not he's not blocking overhead too much. I'm going to drop Hulk. Hey, big time grab to get the wall splat up against the corner and he's going to drill out. Not really too worried about it. We was looking for any option that wouldn't involve me getting too close for a two. Webs just happened to make Don't Don't run at me. Okay, you can run at me if you want. >> Perfect. You're going to sit this one out. We have magic assist covering. >> Overhead. >> All right, he blocks it. >> All right, we'll take it. >> Oh, I dropped it. >> Whoa. >> And I happen to drop it though. Ah, and then he lands a counter. Okay, so what the basic game with Spider-Man is just you have the high low with your overhead and then the ex command dash. Obviously, your >> your overhead is 10 times easier to land. So, you just always want to kind of go for that. >> I'm just going to super. I could have I could have kept the combo going a little bit longer, but let's land the super and drop a TAXI ON THIS GUY. TEAO. Don't need to keep it too complex. When you're Spider-Man, you play a simple web zipping game. But if you want, you can add in a little more to the neutral like this. >> Nice. See, he's not ready. Okay. >> All right. We'll break wall here. I I really wanted to avoid breaking the wall as long as possible, but it's fine. >> No. Oh, he just ruined himself. >> We zip. Ah, give me some more WEBS THEN. RADIOACTIVE SPIDER. Thank goodness I decided to go with my Spider-Man after Hulk because in vibranium rank you need all the cheese you can get. Ah, and then I just did a raw two H and got blocked. Yep, that's vibranium rank stuff right there. That's how you play the game. >> We'll sit this one out. Wolverine Savage Instinct about to go crazy. >> This does so much damage. I I feel like every alult does good damage, but Wolverine for some reason like why does that do 50%. >> Is that really necessary? Okay, maybe we go webs. >> Okay, we don't want to we don't want to overcommit here. >> Low. See, that's the low game where we condition him to want to stand up to block the overhead. And when you condition that, you're free to go in for the low. That's when you want to take that prize. Obviously, you can combo after as well. Uh it's just, you know, it's a little harder, you guys. Okay. You don't want to play the game. >> God, Spider-Man's medium is so good. Watch the overhead. That's going to be neutral to plus that. Then we just block. Oh, the assist call was genius. >> But I got assist, too. >> He went low. Now it's our turn. >> Now we can just play our game. We can just play our game. Oh. Oh, the counter hits the grab. Kind of a tough match right here. Overhead. No. My turn. >> There's the overhead. >> Okay, then. >> If you guys notice, we are playing very slow because we are both struggling. >> That was bad. >> This is just the struggle. F. No way you could combo off that. Your assistant 4 hours ago. He doesn't get the wall break. Ah, no grabs allowed. This is the slowest match of Tokon of all time. >> Got this. I've got this. Oh, nice. >> Nice. And I was mashing. I didn't think he'd be ready for it. Wow, that was a extremely slow match. Nobody broke a single wall. That's not how I want to play the game. No wonder he's going to win when I'm playing like that. >> Come on. Iron Man to lock him down. But he just does a beautiful dive with the the Iron Man aerial assist. That was kind of insane. Good conversion by my opponent. And now, okay, now now I'm just falling into claws. Nice grab. That's going to get the wall break. Is that his full team? No, that's his third member. He didn't lose like I did. >> Okay, get out. We got to use some some of this movement stuff. >> He's got the perfect That's going to break our team. Watch the grab. >> Oh my god. I can't land a hit. I actually can't land a hit. We're playing decent on defense, but then when we have to scramble, I can't find my feet. 150 meter. There we go. Now we can play. >> Now we can play the game a little bit. >> We love to play this game. >> Okay, we did decent damage. We could have thrown a super in there. >> Perfect crossover. Now he's got to play the game. Oh, we had no more assist. We had no more assist calls. >> We get to counter. >> Okay, then. >> Magic. >> Ah, that's the problem with Spider-Man. They're going to be looking for that two H. And he finds it there. Can you break the wall? Can you just break the wall so we can get this over with? Oh, he's not going to break the wall. He wants to do a super instead. And he gets the overhead after. We have one green bar, so we can counter or do anything if we live. We have to live the adamantium rave, which we do. >> We get the counter. He doesn't He doesn't stop us. >> There we go. We get the low. Close game, but he couldn't put us away. We use some of his bar up. 125 m for us, though. If he jumps, we grab. AERIAL GRAB. WELL, what about that? He wasn't even up. >> Okay, I'll cross over. He's not ready. >> Love that. Oh no. >> Okay then. >> I'm really trying to make this Spider-Man stuff work. >> Okay then. >> I'm looking for anything. He's not. >> Oh, don't try to. You can't hit Spider-Man, man. >> I backed up. We'll take a counter. >> No way. The fact that he's able to hit there is crazy. Perfect. He's locked up. >> That was bad. >> That's good. That's really good. >> That's really good. It's 22. A chance to put away the set in this next match. I'm basically I'm just trying to shut up and play some defense now. Crossover. He doesn't get the perfect though. If he does, we are probably dead. though. >> I'm trying to mix up the web zip timing with Spider-Man. Honestly, the your ability to change up your approach is everything. And you can see there, I did not have the ability to do it very well. I had a chance to get some overheads in there. Savage Instinct. We all know this move does 40 million damage. No reason to. >> It just hurts. 150 on the board. Toon assemble is >> is live. Oh my god. >> I've got this. >> I'm on it. >> I'm here. >> He doesn't get it. >> Don't mess with me. >> No. How do you do took on not R1 plus? Oh my god. >> There you are. >> Leave it to me. I'm here. >> I've got this. >> Oh my god. >> We don't have the meter for it, though. We don't have the meter for it. >> We get the counter. >> Oh, it's another wall break. We're not We're thought we were at the corner. I'm on it. >> Oh, radioactive spider. That's called a comeback. Wolie, write that one down for me. I hope that healing factor kicks in soon. >> Me, too, man. I'll see you in the next game. That That was kind of a robbery. We got away with a crime on that one. Ah, well, I guess that healing factor did in fact kick in and really fast cuz we are right back. >> Oh, now he's mad, bro. Of course he's going to be mad, bro. Like, what did I What did I I I didn't block the overhead. That's what I did. What did I do, Lefty? Like, what did I do other than winning the match? Was it a Was it a comeback? Yeah. Like, did you deserve to win? Maybe, but get off me, man. Get off me. >> Oh, what's the matter? Don't like Don't like playing defense against range projectiles. Oh my god. >> Good blocks. >> Oh, web zip. >> I've got this. Okay, nice hit. >> Can't really counter that. >> Okay, he's going crazy. >> Oh my gosh. >> Oh no. >> Come on. That's too obvious. >> Iron Man. >> Oh, if I could have if I could have just gotten up. >> Too obvious. Not obvious enough. Not obvious enough. I hate that he could just do that whenever. That is insane. Just walk up and hit me with a classic fighter 6M. Another jump grab. He's getting He's getting confident now. >> He's getting Oh, except for when I'm in the air. What's the matter? You're not confident when I'm in the air, huh? >> Finally. I I I was mashing too many hits on him. >> I blocked the other way. I thought he was going for a cross up. Oh, no. from having a chance to get our final teammate to getting destroyed. >> Crossover gets by. >> He does not like when I do that. >> He doesn't like it at all when I do that. >> That should have been a two H in my opinion. Break the wall. Drop it. Break the wall. Drop it. We're not getting either of those. Yeah, Adamant team rave. That's going to be two to zero. Two to zero. But they've been close and we've had too many impactful drops. Our first game with our full team. You never want to say that in round three, bro. Like that should be our That's the round one thing. >> What's wrong? >> Okay. >> Magic always has a way. >> What's wrong? I've got this. That was bad. >> Oh my god. The fact that I just have to sit there. I got to cancel out into something. Maybe ex slide. >> Every two H I go for is getting blown up by blocks. >> It's a good It's a It's a strong round for him. I'm I'm not going to lie and say it's not >> bad. >> Perfect. He's got to sit there. >> No, not a grab. I wanted a jab grab. Oh, the oki. Okay, we're back in the midcreen. >> I'm here. >> I'm on it. What's wrong? That was bad. >> What's wrong? >> I've got this. >> Oh no. >> Oh no. I I wanted the grab. >> Nice grab. Oh. Oh, of course I died to another whiff 2 H is that if that's not the story of the match, I don't know what is. I should have taken a super like I thought he dropped it. I genuinely thought he dropped it. There was a lot of times in the corner where I should have either just broken the wall and accepted it or, you know, just gotten a uh just done a super. Just done a super is what I should have done looking back, but it is what it is. Okay, nice. We'll just break the wall. Break the wall nice and early. Now we iron man webs it now. >> I'm here. >> There it is. That's what I want to see. One, two. Uh uh uh uh. Break the wall again. This is what I mean when I said when I said it was a one turn thing, I meant it. >> Like I want to get my team up on round. >> There we go. >> Talk to me. Talk to me now, Wolie. That's my game. That's what I want to see. Run that round every time. Perfect round to start it off. >> Counter. We knew he was going to get aggressive. Just not that aggressive. >> I'm here. >> Love that. >> Okay, >> that kind of sucked. >> Oh, we just back up. I've got this. >> Oh, he doesn't know what to do. When I start being Spider-Man, he really has no clue. >> I've got this. Okay, then >> here we go. >> Again, we got to take a super. You just got to do a super, man. Like, what am I actually doing? >> No. Early counter. And he's going to get through it. But he drops the combo. We're out. >> Overhead. I wasn't paying attention to the defense. I was not watching the defense. I was watching Hulk and praying he would come through for me. Big time Wolverine combo. >> Big time Wolverine combo. Savage Instinct. Is it going to kill any other super? I would never believe you if it if you told me yes. But this one move. >> Look at that man. >> Like is that is that legal? >> We've we've done one comeback. We can do two. The >> chase down grab from halfway across the map. 2. A chance to get a 3 0 crossover. He does get the perfect though. Time to get random. >> Sorry buddy, but when you take away the team, you're left with the spider. Actually, not that strong. Oh my god. It's time to stall. Oh, I mean, if my team's gone, I'm not playing Tokon, bro. He's mad. He's mad as hell. >> Perfect. Now you're the one with no team, buddy. >> Oh god. And here I am whiffing two H's again. Story of my life. Story of my life in this game, man. >> That was bad. >> Perfect. Now you're without a team again. >> Was it worth it? You can't take it. >> Do you like not having a team? Are you more of a lone wolf? >> He Okay, he is getting quite nice at that. >> We'll take the wall break cuz again, we might as well get the meter. >> Okay, then. >> I love you, Magic. >> Watch this. >> I love you, Magic. I love you, Magic. That clip was crazy. We'll take the 3 0 reverse. Three 0 reverse set. Now we're 1-1. God, this game is intense. >> I'm here. All right. >> What's wrong, Spider? >> I've got this. Okay, then. >> He's having a bad day in the corner right now. A lot of drops, but he's panicking. >> Okay, then I'm here. And a counter. >> Nice counter. I wish we would have baited that. >> If we can keep him at one teammate for this long, I'll be very happy. >> Oh no. No. I thought Hulk would had me at a good angle. But I was wrong. And now he's unlocked just as many teammates as I have. >> Whoa. That should not have hit. >> Perfect. He's teammateless. Okay. All right. All right. You're You're nice. You're nice. Is that what Is that what you want to hear? >> I was mashing. I didn't think I didn't think you had the gumption to do it. Savage Instinct. Yeah, we just lost the round. >> Yeah, we just lost the round. It hurts. >> Yep. You know, I'm staring at the screen like maybe not, but I I knew it. I knew as soon as Savage Instinct came out that it was cooked. All right. Can we keep from getting that second one? >> I'm here. I'm here. Oh, how did you hit the Hulk? >> Oh, no. >> Too obvious. >> Time to cook. Time to cook. Spider-Man. Oh no. >> Perfect. He's He's He's locked in. >> Oh my god, that was lucky. >> I did not need to use a 100 meter for this. I could have I could have just done the normal super. That's bad economics. But I'm glad we'll I'm glad to get the kill. Let's say that. I'm glad to get the kill. We could have easily continued the combo into a normal super, but 50 has >> I'm Ash. Well, he's up against this wall. If he takes the wall break, then we Oh, >> I love to see this. >> We'll take the wall break. I don't need the wall anymore. >> I'm here for you. Okay. >> Damn. >> Okay. >> Oh my gosh. >> I love this, bro. He's getting thrown around the screen right now. Chase downs, magic assist. He can't escape. >> Perfect. You can't go anywhere. You actually Nice counter, actually. Holy [ __ ] >> Okay, then. You can't go anywhere. If you're on the screen, my Spider-Man is next to you. >> I'm actually going crazy. >> I've got this. >> Oh, I got hit with the overhead. I was trying to do a raw super just to be fancy. I really did. Savage Instinct this early, man. Come on. I hate fighting with less than 50% health. I I wanted a raw super just to try to establish dominance there. But we were pushing it with like what we had. >> Oh wow. The runup bait is crazy. The run up. Embarrassing. I was afraid, you know. I'll admit it. >> You want to He dropped the combo. No, baby. Too bad. >> He dropped the combo and thought he would kill me with the grab. No more. No more. >> Oh my god, it has armor. Oh my god, it has armor against supers. >> Perfect. >> Let's go. >> We'll break the wall. Try to get a green bar back as well as some meter. Ah, was it too obvious? Usually I have an assist backing me up. I thought he wouldn't think I would do it alone. >> I I actually thought that was the mixup. Like why would I do that alone? That would be stupid. But now I just look stupid down on my look. Adam, man claws on Assemble. He's got >> Oh no. Oh no. I spent the meter for that. >> I spent meter for that, man. Here's my >> He doesn't have the 100. >> Oh my god. To assemble. I need all of my favorite guys, man. I need the neighborhood geniuses. Can we get the kill? I got to web him up for the set win to take Lefty out of the game. That That feels good, man. That feels good. making some big time moves. All right, post lefty era. We're now going up against a blade goldie. Roger. Bro is waiting for that. I'll go in. I was going to say I have to go in. Why not? So early on again, I like breaking the walls. I'll say it every time during the early toon period. Like >> getting that full team up is so important. Let me get that wall splat. That's the full team, baby. That's the full team. Now we can just drop magic off wherever we want. All right, it's your turn. It's your turn. It's genuinely your turn. Oh, look at that block. Oh, you thought I WOULDN'T SEE. AH, I did not see the grab. Come on. >> You thought I would see the grab, too. Like, the grab is like another layer that we did not need wall splat combos. I didn't really get to to do my wall splats. >> I feel good about having the team, though. Oh, wait. >> Oh, Hulk. No, Hulk got caught in it, too. Thankfully, we're out. Time to do some Spider-Man stuff. Like jumping into bullets. Classic Spider-Man. You would think the spider sense would help him avoid it. No, it's actually the opposite. It tells him where the bullets is so he can get there faster. >> Oh my god. Putting myself in the corner. Classic. >> All right, it might be time to start like seeing if he >> counter. Nice. >> We want to start going low on this guy, by the way. He's blocked the overhead enough. We've shown him a million times. Now it's time to go low. It's time to go low and get get to work right after we stand up and play some defense. >> He actually perfected that. Holy [ __ ] Get your hands off me. >> Nice. Break the wall again. We're back on the wall stage. We need to get him over there. >> He's got magic in that first slot. Oh my god, he scared me. Why would he do that? >> Magic is going to be everywhere. >> Oh god, I just can't track him down. I can't get him to sit still. >> Overhead. Nice. We can combo. >> I dropped it. No. Oh, that's mash city. Oh, wow. He had an assist down there waiting to make it. Plus, he had an assist to keep him safe. I didn't even see it. Big time super from my opponent. I have so much meter cuz I have yet to actually do anything. >> Damn, you did not need to do the full meter. He's He's looking for a grab. >> He's looking for the grab. It's the most obvious thing in the world. >> I know you want the grab, man. I know you wanted the Did you see him try to grab? We all know what you were going for, man. You ran the scam earlier in the game, bro. You can't do the same scam twice. >> Oh, wow. That fireball, it just goes through everybody. It went through Iron Man, so I was like, "Bet, let me get my let me get my web swing out." No, he was It went through him, made me block, and then I'm cooked. >> All right, Hulk. No gra. You did that scam once. The scam won't work twice. Give me that. >> Okay, he he is actually killing me on that. Stop. Did you just hit a button? Well, bam. Uh uh uh. This is your punishment for actually having clicked a button. Comes a great beat. >> Oh wow. Another button comes flying out >> and it clips me just right. Oh, you got the combo. Hold on, hold on, hold on. I didn't know about you, you know. I I really didn't. I'm watching out for grabs. Wow. >> Okay then. >> I can't believe that combo. >> Oh my gosh. >> It's the most frustrating thing in in in the world when you just know that you're letting yourself down. >> No grabs. planet. >> Okay, then. >> OKAY, you >> no more grabs, dude. I'm going to take every single grab you try. It's It's just not going to He's on a seven win streak right now, actually. Holy [ __ ] Oh my god. With that range, it's no wonder. >> Ah, and he's also just being quite nice at the counters. He's not letting me get anything for free. Nothing for free here. All right, we just got to play defense then. I mean, we know we know what we're capable of. >> Yeah, I didn't think my No more grabs. >> All right, big time super. >> Big time super. Let's get some damage back. I know we look like we're low off in this game. Maybe we should just let it go to the next round. And you're thinking, "No, >> I've got this." >> I'm on. I'm on. >> Okay, then. >> Oh, how did he get the mash out in time? Oh, no. That is so disappointing, miss. Oh, how did he get the mash there? It was It was so unfortunate. It's like I had it right in front of me and he took it from me. That was today. >> Now he did it again. Got to stop doing that, I guess. >> Okay. Waiting patiently. >> Oh my god. Stop doing that me. Like actually just stop. Like there's no reason to do that anymore. >> Okay, I'll take a punishment. I I went for a high low. I deserve it. >> Nice combo, man. Can you drop it, please? I'm in the corner. >> Wow, that range is insane. >> But he just he wanted me to win. >> He wants me to win. Okay. I'm not I'm not the kind of guy to turn that offer down, man. You You're looking for someone with more pride. Yeah, I lost the round, but now let me get my rank points. >> Big time drop. >> He's got to play the game. >> Oh, okay then. >> Ball break. >> NO. NO. I THOUGHT YOU WERE A MAN of pride. Why would you wake up soon? Am I live? No, I'm not. Great. I'm glad the damage comes after the end. Well, that was only game one. Look, I can't I can't get upset. I did a raw super to you two, okay? So, like we we both know that we're never we're never going to do that again cuz now we have respect for each other. Is that right? Like I just hope we can agree on that. Spider shoot will break the wall. That'll give us a refresh on Iron Man. Oh, I was watching, man. I was watching. Damn. Oh my god. I can't believe I let him extend his win streak to eight wins. >> Nice. >> Oh, who am I fighting? >> Oh, Hulk Yes. You want to call in those anti-air assists, but usually they even if they do hit, you're not able to just like so beautifully capture them. >> All right, we get the wall splat. Now we just get to be Spider-Man. Got you. >> Now we get to be Spider-Man, guys. Oh, wait. We had a >> love it. >> Love it, man. I love Spider-Man. I love the game. I love the game, man. >> Hey, remember when you do a wake up? I was going to super Never mind. Yeah, I don't know what to say, man. Spider-Man is just really fun in this game. Very strong and it honestly you can play him super complex, but really he doesn't It's not like it's hurting to play like a basic Spider-Man. >> It really doesn't hurt, you know, like just to go in get a bit aggressive. I just did a spider bomb. I never use that move. Nice grab. I've tacked every grab except for the ones that actually matter. And then I two H nothing. Classic. I genuinely just need to unbind my two H. It It doesn't work. It It's It's great for everybody else, you know, important in the Spider-Man match up, but but for a guy like me, I just can't use it. I always miss. It gets blocked. It gets me punished. >> I got I got to let go. We are We are deep in this next match and I'm still thinking about it. >> Whoa, whoa, whoa. Lag. A lot of lag there. >> Okay, we'll take it. >> Spider shoot. >> Okay, then. >> Spider shoot. >> Oh no. Why did I think that was going to hit? That's I said Hulk. That is my bad, man. Like what did I think was going to happen? >> Yep. I I tried to hit a button. I tried to hit a button. >> All right, we're down again. And if we lose one more round, we lose. Not a fun spot to be. I feel like we should there. There's something deceptive about this match. I feel like I'm confidently winning. And then I look up and I've lost. And then again, I know exactly what's costing us. It's the crossovers. I keep trying to cross over. I'm getting punished. I'm losing my team. And it's it's it's stagnating the offense. Oh my god. Actually, I know what it is. He's better than me. Like I I did figure it out now. I finally put two and two together, man. Like, now I see it. >> Run up. Play it safe. And then I get I'm just I'm being impatient now. This is not the way I want to lose. >> I'm here. >> I'm on it. I'm on it. >> I've got this. >> Okay then. >> All right. Nice grab. Got to give myself compliments sometimes. >> There it is, man. The same mistake at a different language. A same mistake again. Don't cross over. It's not worth the risk. >> What a set. I got humbled. I got humbled. GG's. And you know what? I'm going to leave it off there, too. Oh my goodness, I'm upset. If you like these videos and want to see more of them, though, make sure to hit like and subscribe and take it as a lesson. Crossover mechanic is powerful, but use it, you know, use it loosely, bro. You don't want to over rely on it. But with that said, I have been Dadoya and I will see you in the next
