Way back when people couldn’t look up a moves list or faq in two seconds on their phone (less than 10 years ago), people used to play a fighting game they liked for hours — discovering combos and special attacks mostly on their own. A self-proclaimed Japanese combo master named Joo took that concept a million steps further by completely dismantling Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, making combo videos, and taking the arcade hit in directions most people wouldn’t even consider possible [via Capcom Unity]:

Helping Joo make this compilation video was an actual MvC2 tester named Magnetro. This masterwork of arcade strategy will be available to watch starting February 22nd on Magnetro’s site, and it will even give detailed instructions on how they performed some of the amazing feats of gameplay. Die hard game fans and testers are usually dedicated to the extreme, but is there a point where love of a fighting game can be unhealthy? Just asking…
