X-Men: Children of the Atom - Cyclops

X-Men: Children of the Atom - Cyclops

Played by Xavier. This play-through uses Cyclops, who is typically seen as an upper-middle tier level character in comparison to the rest of the cast. However, despite agreeing with the general consensus that Wolverine is likely the best character in the game, Xavier believes that Cyclops is very close to his level, but is simply much more difficult to pick up and learn than Wolverine. Even with the context of attempting to complete arcade mode at maximum difficulty without taking damage, most players may find completing such a feat more difficult with Cyclops than with Wolverine, as knowing what button should be hit to continue his infinite combos is far more situational, requires more precise timing, and knowledge on the opposing character's weight. He gets some leeway in a few regards with projectiles, but the AI will often react to it immediately, so they must be used wisely against specific characters. Of course, as the description in the video for the Wolverine play-through states, this game is very "broken", and as such every character in this game is capable of using "broken" tactics and infinite combos of some sort, and therefore are all very much viable. This uses different capture hardware from the previous X-Men: Children of the Atom video, and uses the same method as the Marvel Super Heroes video uploaded several months ago. Most CPS1/2/3 boards (and possibly other arcade games we'll have access to) will likely continue using this method as it allows for 60 FPS capture and slightly better quality. Happy EVO 2018 weekend!
