Marvel Tōkon Character Guides Video Roundup, Deadpool, Carnage, Loki, Hulk Now Available

  

The official Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls character guide videos by Arc System Works have arrived and are the perfect tool to get into the game before the upcoming PC/PS5 Open Beta happening later this month and the game's highly-anticipated August 6th launch. Each 5-minute character guide runs through normal attacks, unique skills, and core tools. So far, we have guides for Captain America, Iron Man, Ms. Marvel, Dr. Doom, Storm, Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, Star-Lord, Peni Parker, Magik, Wolverine, Magneto, Danger, Black Panther, Blade, Green Goblin, Hulk, Loki, Deadpool, and Carnage. They're all here!
 

 
[UPDATE #2] All of the movesets look intriguing... but Deadpool's moveset is simply "a love letter to fighting games" with countless godlike references. We don't deserve Arc System Works. According to the official storyline, Deadpool found a strategy guide where he learned a plethora of techniques from other fighting game characters. He has one of the largest movelists in the game and is one of the most intricate characters to learn, which makes sense!
 
 

Deadpool's guide reveals the sheer multitude of brilliant and hilarious "breaking-the-fourth-wall" moves and animation references, specifically aimed to please the fighting game community by going deep into the genre's history. These include but are not limited to: Kazuya's Electric Wind God Fist (EWGF) from TEKKEN, Sol's anti-air and air dist, Sawada's infamous seppuku special, Hotaru's infamous super move from Garou: MOTW, Yoshimitsu's double suicide stab and health regeneration sitting stance, Scorpion's "Get Over Here!" / Fatality sequence, Johnny Cage's nut punch, General's victory pose from Kaiser Knuckle, "Dream" super move sequence inspired by Skullomania / Shadowgeist which has even more references including Raiden's superman attack, Sofia's spinning kick from Battle Arena Toshinden, and even a shoutout to Ryo from Art of Fighting.
 
 

We're not done yet... Cell's intro and Vegeta's assist from DBFZ, Akira's shoulder attack, May's dolphin attack + Falcon Punch version, Galford's "Hey Poppie!" assist, Jack-O's crouching pose, Shiki's Anti-Air, Yashiro's light kick low crush from KOF '97, a Guilty Gear Roman Cancel, two JoJo references, many references to Street Fighter... and many more. Indeed, Deadpool has the most references of any fighting game character. YOU WIN, DEADPOOL. YOU WIN. WE ALL WIN. Without further ado, enjoy the rest of the guides.
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
Arc System Works really cooked with Deadpool. It's official, Deadpool has the most references of any fighting game character. They did it... they really did it. Deadpool in Tōkon is a walking FGC meme. What else needs to be said besides "this game looks amazing" and "I can't wait to learn this game". We are very excited for the future of Marvel Tōkon and the fighting game community. Stay tuned for more Marvel Tōkon news and content!
