Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collectionwas only released on September 12, but the legend of a player called the “Wazzler” is already spreading.
According to Steam reviews, this guy is like Thanos; running into him on ranked is inevitable. The unholy beatdowns he delivers are, too. It all makes perfect sense, though, because the Wazzler is none other than Justin Wong, 9-time EVO champion and the greatestMarvel vs Capcomplayer of all time.
Getting bulled in a fighting game by Wong is nothing new. For example, a clip of himshowing an eight-year-old the ropesin Mortal Kombat X has made its rounds on the internet for years. But Marvel vs Capcom is Justin’s specialty, and this time, it’s adults quitting the game in frustration.
The first mention of the Wazzler comes from Steam user “TongOfDmg,” who claimed that their run-in not only ruined his night but drove him to refund the game. Meanwhile, several other users have left reviews warning of the impending danger of Wazzler and the dire consequences of his wrath.

But maybe they’ve got Justin all wrong. Maybe, in a twisted way, his reign of terror is for the benefit of mankind. I mean, Steam user “formerly” said they made their entire family dinner while locked in an Iron Man combo. And anyone who brings family together like that is alright in my book.
Justin himself seems to be having fun with the situation and acknowledged it on his Twitter. But what he said next might shake Marvel players to their core. After reaching the number one rank on the Steam and PlayStation 4 ladders, he announced the Nintendo Switch would be next.
It appears no platform is safe from his expanding empire, and I worry for myself and other Xbox players when theMvCcollection comes to Xbox One next year. The only certainty is that if you dare go online with theMarvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection, you must beware Wazzler.
