The characterization of different heroes and villains in Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is surprisingly great, with some figures feeling more authentic to their comic book versions than ever before. Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls Turns Deadpool Into A Walking Pile Of Fighting Game ReferencesCourtesy of Arc System WorksAccording to in-game lore, Deadpool found a fighting game magazine outside the fourth wall, studying iconic titles from the genre to imitate for his own moves. This has turned the character’s entire play style into a pile of fighting game references from across subgenres and series, no matter how unrelated they are separate from Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls. Dio in particular is important for Marvel Tōkon, as both he and Deadpool share a super where they stop time in fighting games. This is a huge testament to Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls‘ creativity, turning an otherwise annoying Deadpool into a love letter for the types of games that allowed this 4v4 title to even exist.
