Capcom releases a new update for Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics, bringing back the fan favorite Juggernaut Glitch move which was originally removed from Marvel vs Capcom 2. For most fighting game fans, one of the biggest surprises in 2024 was Capcom’s announcement of Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics, a compilation of all 6 classic titles which, until this point, had been nearly impossible to find outside of extremely pricey third party resellers or an Arcade1Up cabinet.
As of now, Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics launched digitally, with the physical version still to come in November. Fans have been heading online with each of the titles, experiencing the classic team-based battles in experiences like Marvel vs Capcom 2. For longtime fans, they put the games to the test to see what was still in the game, including certain infamous infinite combos or glitches. One in particular, the Juggernaut Glitch in Marvel vs Capcom 2, allows players to use his power up move, tag him out, and then when called back in, the powerup is still active instead of being removed on tag out.
While the missing glitch may have disappointed some, its exclusion made sense as it wasn’t intended behavior. It’s because of that which made the most recent update for Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics all the more surprising. While also fixing recent online issues with Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics, the update also had a surprising inclusion regarding Juggernaut, one that left longtime fans very excited and surprised that Capcom would use one of its updates to essentially restore a known glitch as a feature setting.
For Marvel vs Capcom 2, players now have the option to renable the famed Juggernaut Glitch in the EX Settings menu under Options. Known as the Cyttorak Power-Up, players should select “Keep effects on tag” to restore the glitch, otherwise the Juggernaut power-up ability will reset once he is tagged out. Better yet, this can also be enabled for online play as well, potentially giving players a new option to select outside of meta characters like Magneto, Storm, and Psylocke. While Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics has already been well received, details like this will continue to keep the games held in high regard for players.
While the initial announcement of these Capcom Fighting Collections were only for PC, PlayStation, and Switch, Xbox fans were notably disappointed that the games would be skipping Microsoft’s platform. Eventually, it was revealed that a technical issue was the core reason for the omission, though with Capcom and Microsoft working together, a solution was found. Although fans will have to wait a bit longer, Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics will be launching on Xbox in 2025.
