I’m positive most everybody has a story about this recreation, and right here’s mine: my household couldn’t afford a babysitter, even if my mother and father labored from dawn to properly past the sundown. My older brother was typically positioned in command of me rising up, however when he wasn’t obtainable (as a result of he had his personal life) I’d accompany my people to the laundry they operated. All through the 90s and early-to-mid aughts, their enterprise continuously featured one or two arcade cupboards. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 was the one which I occupied most, and it grew to become every little thing to me. To my information, it was the primary recreation I ever tried to grasp. I need to’ve hopped on the sticks twenty occasions a day each time I discovered myself at that laundry, and in flip MvC2 has by no means fairly left me. All over the place I am going, I hear that tune nonetheless, and each combating recreation I play, I merely yearn for the nice ol’ days. – Moises Taveras Learn Extra
