    Fun fact Viscant was spending hours a day working on online gambling and apparently making pretty good money... until the US essentially banned it in April 2011. 6 hours of gambling turned into 6 hours of Marvel that year and the results speak for themselves
  • @Peratohtori
    I remember how the usual loudmouths in the community used to give Viscant massive amounts of shit for "writing guides for MVC3 without winning anything" and right after that he went and took EVO Must have felt good
  • @mrpinguimninja
    There's a really great quote from Viscant somewhere in which he's saying that he knew that HAD to be his year, 'cause since his execution wasn't as good as most of the other top players, he had to rely in his strategic skill to come up with something before the game was too much 'solved'
  • @BManTheBigHero
    Shoutouts to Viscant, the best Fate of Two Worlds player ever. Miss that dude
  • @Astrael00
    Oh wow didn't know Viscant was that good on MvC3, I know him for his fight against LowTierGod on SFIV, gonna watch it before bed. Great video as always man, love your commentaries on historical fighting matches, hope you have a great day!
  • @fishnewt1331
    Lol, Justin took Dark Phoenix shouting, “RUN” literally. God, it was hilarious seeing people’s reaction to Phoenix.
  • @ubermikesocal
    I went to high school in Claremont California with Viscant. I knew him as Jay, and he would battle with me at the YAC right next to the high school, where there were a couple arcade games there. One of which was Marvel Super Heroes and X men vs Street Fighter. We had some legendary battles back then. He had an extremely good Shuma Gorath, and in xmen vs sf i would play my team of Charlie/juggernaut against Viscant. He was definitely one of to toughest players to compete against even back then. Good times.

    Marvel 3 is like this: Ok ok, I get the strategy. Ok it makes sense. Ok nice picks, nice sinergy. Then the gameplay starts and it's all like: QOIWEQIUYWREKJBGLKCVPSXCLKFVOIEUHDQWDQWPBCKNPISCGHSPODKFNOPIHQWRE a million miles per hour
  • @Hybridhero26
    Viscant's wesker was such a beast. Especially when level 3 xfactored.
  • @outerheaven2k7
    Has me missing MvC3, here's to hoping MvC4 gets released
  • @Blitz0506
    Viscant dominated marvel at its infancy and people later figured out its weaknesses and how to deal with his team. RyanLV is the one i truly believe figured out marvel especially at the height and tailend of its popularity his team had too many win conditions and he had backup plans so his team never felt like it falls apart when he loses any one of his characters
  • @sdstig
    As a San Diego resident, I've been able to run into Viscant in years past at locals and the like. In Ultimate, he eventually switched to Zero/Doom/Vergil but sometimes in casuals, he'd bring out his vanilla Wesker/Haggar/Phoenix team which I always found fun to watch in Ultimate even with Phoenix haha! I remember him sometimes talking about what would be a theoretical optimal Phoenix team in Ultimate, factoring in the usual things but putting an emphasis on meter build. It's hard to remember all that stuff now but one of the teams he theorized I believe was Zero/Doom/Phoenix, which is the team PZPoy used. Peak Marvel 3 days were so much fun.
  • @LegacyOfKaiser
    This and the iheartjustice video analysis are top content right here. Congrats and can't wait to see more!
  • @Malkav
    I will never forget when Viscant banished LowtierGod to the shadow realm.
  • Crazy to me seeing all these comments from people talking about Viscant in all these different eras of FGC. I first remember Viscant from X-Men vs Street Fighter discussion on the AOL GameWiz boards, way back in the days before GameFAQs even existed.
  • @phantasmex
    Pre-SRK, Viscant was a prominent poster on Gouki’s Page of Whatever (GPOW) forums. I remember him posting high level MvC1 tech in the late 90s
  • We used to travel from AZ to Nickle palace in San Diego just to have a chance to bump into anyone from that scene. They were all so good at their respected games. This was well before mvc3.
  • @Roberto-hp1ee
    22:20 This is by far one of my favorite FGC moments. I remember I was just getting into marvel and hated Phoenix so much😂 That Tron's super was sick
