Happy Marvel TÅkon: Fighting Souls day to all who celebrate. Arc System Worksâ new superhero anime fighter launches on PC and PS5 later today (at 11 a.m. Eastern, to be specific), and soon fighting game fans will be pitting Marvelâs many heroes against each other in fast-paced 4v4 combat. One of the heroes in that roster is Deadpool, and the merc with a mouth has a reputation for his fourth-wall-breaking antics. Arc System Works has woven that into his kit by making him an amalgamation of fighting game history.

Arc System Works has released a lengthy character breakdown trailer that runs through all of Deadpoolâs moves. If you have even a passing knowledge of fighting games, youâll probably recognize some of his moves from games like Street Fighter, Virtua Fighter, Marvel vs. Capcom, and also several of Arc System Worksâ own games like Blazblue and Dragon Ball FighterZ. There are so many nods to fighting game history that itâs hard to catch them all, but thankfully Twitter user Whisp90 made a video compiling them all, complete with visual references to each.

En los trailer de Tokon estaban entretenidos ver las referencias de Deadpool, asà que hice una compilación de estas.

Pensaba hacerlo más rápido pero terminé demorando harto ð Diganme si olvidé algo.

Aunque mañana cuando salga el juego probablemente habrán muchas más rofl pic.twitter.com/2JHqpIgUCa— Whisp (@Whisp90) August 6, 2026

Deadpool wasnât playable in the Marvel TÅkon beta, so most folks will get their first hands-on time with him later today. Iâm still getting used to the 4v4 tag elements of the game as someone who typically plays fighting games as a one trick, but Deadpool is definitely going on my team alongside Star-Lord, Black Panther, and either Captain America or Spider-Man. Still figuring that fourth slot out. Though maybe Iâm just in a Spidey mood after seeing Spider-Man: Brand New Day last week.
