Steam Reviews for Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection Show Everyone's Main Problem Is Losing to Justin Wong

Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection launched last week and — matchmaking issues aside — players have been enjoying its nostalgia-fueled combat. But there’s one problem: fighting game legend Justin Wong.

Wong, one of the greatest fighting game players of all time and one half of Evo Moment #37, has returned to his old stomping ground with the release of Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection and, predictably, is destroying his opponents.

Wazzler, the online name Wong is using to play Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection, and in particular the long-awaited modernized Marvel vs.Capcom 2, was trending across social media as the fighting game pro began his relentless evisceration of all challengers.

Some reports indicated Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection players were refunding the game because of the online tyranny of Wazzler, but that’s mostly a joke that has now become a meme.

Still, players are having their fun with Wong’s return, and have taken to Steam user reviews to joke about the one problem they have with Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Wazzler himself.

“Was really excited to finally play Marvel vs Capcom 2,” reads the “most helpful” Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection review. “Work on decent combos and a team for about an hour. Get matched against Wazzler. I don't even get to play the game. Think I'll stick to playing The Punisher.”

“Be wary of Wazzler,” reads another. “That is three-time winner EVO champion, Justin Wong (not saying to quit him, by all means take on the EVO champ and show him what you got ) but if you're a casual? I'm sorry LMAO!”

“This compilation is really cool,” said another Steam reviewer. “Good filters. Good netcode. Good museum. Good music. The only bad thing is that there is this player named Wazzler who I believe has hacked the game and he is using probably an assist cheat system or maybe a TAS. I hope Capcom can provide a solution for this problem.”

At one point, Wong moved on to the Nintendo Switch version of Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection, forcing Switch users to brace themselves for the carnage to come.

Started playing PS4 Marvel 2 this morning.

Didn’t touch grass but yall thought rank was safe on PSN?

I’m coming for you soon Switch pic.twitter.com/2FNI9NIAAN— Justin Wong (@JWonggg) September 14, 2024

Memes aside, Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection does appear to be having some serious matchmaking problems, despite plenty of people playing the game. Capcom has apologized and said it’s working on it.

As for Wong's next goal: ranking number one across all three platforms MvC2 is currently playable.

We did it everyone! First in ranking on Switch. Version as well for Marvel 2

Gonna see if we can have number one rank on all 3 platforms at the same time in the near future pic.twitter.com/TdLXBIvbFa— Justin Wong (@JWonggg) September 16, 2024
