I loved this video! Great work!
NEVER SEEN BEFORE: Playing "Resident evil 2 remake and Resident evil Original" at the SAME TIME https://youtu.be/QN2Ec06wWmM
Def gonna get hate for this but I prefer PlayStation all stars to super smash. I just preferred the fighting mechanic of using normal attacks to charge up a super over knocking someone off the map
The Bruce Lee UFC crossover makes a lot of sense because he’s one of the most decorated martial artists of all time. Bad take on that one.
this video is fun but the chapters really dont do much. not lined up that well and didnt catch every game
Love this guy, always great stuff
This was great lol. One thing is I think the tier list thumbnail seemed a bit generic, I didn’t notice it was a polygon video I missed until today since I see a lot of YouTube videos with tier lists and ignore them pretty much categorically. Not sure if that happens to other people but happened to me
i can imagine becoming a nigel thornberry main
Am I the only one that played and loved Mario and Sonic at the Vancouver Olympics Winter games? Like not only did it had great mini-games like the previous game, but it had a story mode I really enjoyed.
I dont consider games where a singular unit is in it a crossover.
I dont consider smash a crossover game because it has no story.
i consider kingdom hearts a crossover game, aswell as most games that add items, or an event story to experience crossover gsames
but i do not consider naruto storm 3 a crossover game because lars from tekken is in it.
i think fighting games deserve to be removed from this conversation, unless the fighting game has items or a world, something grander to experience, withen the theme.
Good to see "what? Hell yeah! What?" is still alive
criminal of you to show plvspwaa and not talk about it
My man’s music taste is IMMACULATE.
I love kingdom hearts but it ain’t simple or clean. It’s convoluted and messy and I wouldn’t have it any other way
why do you have the Nord VPN logo on your arm? Is this more brand crossover?
Monster Hunter and FFXIV was great on both ends in both games! If I can add, the FFXIV and NieR Automata crossover was also so so much better than it had any right to be. Absolutely stellar.
Death Stranding x Half-Life/Portal crossover is probably B-Tier but it will always be S-Tier in my heart.
This video came out before the mega man doggo was added to monster hunter, which should have gotten “what hell yeah what” points
By saying “what, hell yeah, what” you yourself have conducted a crossover. Well done
I was hoping that MHW x FFXIV would make an appearance! That crossover felt so natural but also surprising
Smash. The answer is Smash.
Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright is the best crossover ever.
WHYW moment !
There are many potential crossovers like *DC vs Capcom, Transformers vs Gundam,* heck even a *SEGA Smash Bros style game* would be awesome as well, the possibilities are obviously ENDLESS to think about!!!!
I’m gonna have nightmares with that ending
where is payday 2’s millions of crossovers
Ratatat!
Happy to see you on the tube!
If only you made this a few weeks later…what do we call the cross-over of two S-tier crossovers now that Sora’s in Smash?!?
I really hope Negan in Tekken 7 is in this S- tier. Its not, weak.
No mention of everything Super Robot Wars have ever done? For Shame.
i havent watched yet but if mario and sonic at the olympic winter games (vancouver) isnt #1 i will riot
Look it’s definitely a lil bit fucked up and exploitative but… Bruce Lee fighting in the UFC is still dope. As a Chinese person I really respect him as a person: he did so much for Asian representation on screen and was really ahead of his time. But also as an MMA fan like,,, that’s just so sick sorry. They fs did it for money but not just for money; he’s j such an inspiration for both fighting games and MMA that the crossover seems kinda inevitable.
Oh and here’s a video from *this channel* abt how fighting games have always used Bruce Lee characters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpwVYXRi4SY
Obligatory comment that Cyclops doesn’t shoot laser beams. His eyes are a portal to another dimension that release Concussive Blasts.
There was an X-Men character that DID have lasers and they had to put a lot of effort into reminding us that Cyclops is different.
Project x Zone series is an S-tier for me, because it is basically Smash but tactical RPG. The game has crossovers of various JRPGs from Bandai Namco, Capcom, Sega and Nintendo, both known and unknown. All of the characters have moves pulled from their home series, beautifully animated in anime style. Not only that, the game has a very good plot that keeps me wanting to watch more and more as it goes.
Mortal kombat, need I say more?
old spice making a "gentleman" class for pathfinder rpg will forever top my "surprise" list
10:57 beautiful. What a masterpiece of music
One of the most interesting crossover I saw was in a mobile game. Arknights crossing over with Rainbow 6. It was something I never expected, but they pulled it off well.
I’m actually trying to make a crossover card game that features a few games I’m interested in. Childish? Kinda. Fun? yes
Not even a mention of the most surprising and most corporate crossover ever: Mario Kart 8 x Mercedes.
No project x zone?!
on first glance, I fully thought your Aquabats poster was for Fiddler on the Roof
Where does Pirates of the Caribbean in Sea of Thieves stand? I think A Tier if not S
you didn’t have dante in smt3 so the list is bad
In fairness to Bruce Lee in a UFC game, he is not only an inspiration to many martial artists, but his Tao of Jeet Kune Do still influences combat sports today and cross trained different disciplines, which few had attempted before.
Still feels like a suit’s idea to play as Bruce Lee though.
Absolutely splendid.
you forgot the cheeto chomper and the cheeto scientist from plants vs zombies: garden warfare 1
haven’t watched yet but if Darth Vader, Yoda, and the Apprentice in Soul Calibur IV aren’t the top 1-2 I will fight you,. Their inclusion slapped so hard
5/1 risk/reward ratio allows you to have a hit rate of 20%. I can actually be a complete imbecile. I can be wrong 80% of the time and still not lose.
