The hype is real

Update []:
The raw Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls footage is still below, but we’ve dropped in a fresh Maximilian Dood commentary stream as well that’s packed with high-level action and insights.
Original Story: And at last we have it—pure, uncut Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls gameplay without any cuts.
The video spotlights pros Shinkensou and Justin Wong; the latter is a household name thanks to his Marvel vs. Capcom pedigree.
Both competitors are clearly still learning the ropes—after all, the game just hit—but the ceiling already looks sky-high, especially once full squads hit the field in the final rounds.
Can’t gloss over the presentation either: the visuals are stunning, and the soundtrack absolutely slaps. Arc System Works rarely misses, and the vibrant colors with fluid animations here are pure eye-candy.
If you’re not caught up on mechanics, circle back to Sony’s recent deep dive.
Early notes from these top-tier players have been nothing but positive, so signs point to Marvel Tokon winning over the FGC.
Here’s hoping Sunday brings some major roster reveals at Evo.
