Justin Wong is a master of the Marvel vs. Capcom series, and this year he has been diving deep into what the franchise currently has to offer — especially with the recent release of the Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection. Moving away from Marvel vs. Capcom 2 for a brief moment, JWong took on a very different challenge a little ways back in the form of a modded version of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3’s boss, Galactus, that essentially makes him as hard as the infamous SNK bosses from back in the day.
Misery loves company, as they say, and in his latest YouTube video Justin Wong throws another MvC legend, IFC Yipes, to the wolves by having him take on that very same challenge.
In Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Galactus is a giant boss in the style of previous Marvel vs. Capcom series bosses like Abyss and Onslaught. He has the ability to call in his own versions of the game’s fighters to aid him in battle, and most times you’re going to be trying to defend against his giant slaps, fists, and lasers.
As Justin Wong explains it, this mod makes Galactus a lot harder to defeat. He is more aggressive, attacks more quickly and frequently, and his clone fighters are smarter and tougher to fight against.
A couple of years back, Justin Wong took on this challenge himself and was able to successfully complete it, though it took him a painful six hours to do so. Now Yipes is in the hot seat and fighting for his own (and the earth’s) survival.
Yipes notices right away that things aren’t quite as they should be with this boss fight. Galactus wastes no time in smacking Yipes’ fighters around, and the clone Dormammu that the boss summons doesn’t make things any easier for our hero.
There are some hilarious moments to behold here, like when Yipes finally makes some progress only to find out that there’s a phase 2 that is even harder to deal with. And if you want to see Yipes play various characters on the Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 roster, you’ll definitely want to watch the whole thing.
Check out Justin Wong’s new video below to find out if Yipes is able to beat this nearly impossible challenge.
