    announcement came out this past Monday
  • 00:00:58
    from John D who used a word at arcade
  • 00:01:00
    oneop announcing his new business
  • 00:01:03
    venture media oneop and a lot of
  • 00:01:05
    speculation started to happen on exactly
  • 00:01:07
    what this company is are they coming out
  • 00:01:09
    with cabinets like arcade oneup are they
  • 00:01:12
    going to work with other companies to
  • 00:01:13
    make cabinets only time would tell well
  • 00:01:16
    we had a big stream on Monday talking
  • 00:01:19
    about the information that was given to
  • 00:01:21
    us from John D directly about his new
  • 00:01:24
    company and what he planned to do there
  • 00:01:26
    were some teasers thrown out in that
  • 00:01:28
    show as well including some teasers in
  • 00:01:31
    the video that I just showed for cabs or
  • 00:01:34
    potential products that John D could be
  • 00:01:36
    working on through media oneup as well
  • 00:01:39
    as there were some teasers given out
  • 00:01:40
    during the show from different things
  • 00:01:42
    John said such as I'm going to take you
  • 00:01:44
    for a ride so earlier today I got a
  • 00:01:47
    message from my buddy 19k Fox who was
  • 00:01:50
    actually on that video with me uh
  • 00:01:52
    telling me that another YouTuber had
  • 00:01:55
    made a video indicating he had a leaked
  • 00:01:58
    image of the first two products possibly
  • 00:02:00
    coming out from this company media oneup
  • 00:02:03
    and here you can see it on screen it
  • 00:02:05
    says are you ready go prepare to strike
  • 00:02:08
    now available quarter 3 2025 Marvel
  • 00:02:11
    versus Capcom 2 and as you can see it
  • 00:02:14
    it's a pretty plain design one thing
  • 00:02:17
    that sticks out immediately is if you
  • 00:02:20
    take a look at this cabinet that's a
  • 00:02:22
    widescreen monitor in there that's not
  • 00:02:23
    your typical 4x3 that looks like it's
  • 00:02:26
    more of a widescreen monitor I could be
  • 00:02:29
    wrong but that kind of throws me off a
  • 00:02:32
    little bit on the monitor side looks
  • 00:02:34
    very similar to the arcade one up Deluxe
  • 00:02:37
    Cab it says it's going to have X-Men
  • 00:02:38
    Children of the atom Marvel Superheroes
  • 00:02:41
    X-Men versus Street Fighter Marvel
  • 00:02:44
    Superheroes versus Street Fighter Marvel
  • 00:02:47
    versus Capcom and Marvel versus Capcom 2
  • 00:02:50
    then on the other side it looks like
  • 00:02:52
    we're getting a Street Fighter 3 cabinet
  • 00:02:54
    again the monitor kind of gives me a
  • 00:02:56
    little bit of pause on this it's kind of
  • 00:02:59
    long looks like it's going to have
  • 00:03:00
    Street Fighter 3 Street Fighter third
  • 00:03:03
    strike second uh three Street Fighter
  • 00:03:06
    third strike and then red Earth on the
  • 00:03:08
    cabinet that's what's being proposed
  • 00:03:11
    then if you go down it says special
  • 00:03:13
    features light up Marquee 19in HD
  • 00:03:16
    monitor half style joysticks and buttons
  • 00:03:19
    and then on the bottom you can see media
  • 00:03:21
    one up now I I don't know if I can read
  • 00:03:24
    this all products you know just a
  • 00:03:27
    disclaimer saying this is not the final
  • 00:03:29
    product
  • 00:03:30
    so anyways this is the flyer that went
  • 00:03:32
    out let's talk about it a little in
  • 00:03:35
    terms of the products that they're
  • 00:03:37
    advertising here yeah this is very on
  • 00:03:41
    brand with John D like uh I would say
  • 00:03:44
    that this is potentially something John
  • 00:03:46
    would Champion these are definitely
  • 00:03:48
    games he's interested I know he was very
  • 00:03:51
    interested in bringing Marvel versus
  • 00:03:52
    Capcom 2 to Arcade one up I know third
  • 00:03:55
    strike is a game that he's very
  • 00:03:57
    passionate about so in terms a
  • 00:04:00
    probability these absolutely could be
  • 00:04:02
    products that John's working on um yeah
  • 00:04:05
    so I mean it seems probable um and the
  • 00:04:09
    design I mean yeah it looks good it
  • 00:04:12
    doesn't really say how big the cabinets
  • 00:04:14
    are it looks like 19in screens so I mean
  • 00:04:17
    I guess you could assume they're XL but
  • 00:04:20
    does it say how big the cabinets
  • 00:04:22
    are uh it's a little hard to read the
  • 00:04:25
    image is a little bit blurry so I don't
  • 00:04:27
    know how big the cabinets are but I
  • 00:04:29
    can't tell if they're 3/4 or XL but yeah
  • 00:04:32
    like I don't have much to comment on
  • 00:04:35
    other than 19 in and yeah there they are
  • 00:04:39
    one thing I will say what I find a
  • 00:04:41
    little bit strange about this is the
  • 00:04:45
    quality of the pamphlet this is not
  • 00:04:48
    exactly a very professional job um like
  • 00:04:52
    the pamphlet itself looks like something
  • 00:04:55
    you would someone just printed off on
  • 00:04:57
    their printer at home like it's not very
  • 00:05:00
    professional if you've ever seen like
  • 00:05:01
    the pictures arcade one up have put out
  • 00:05:04
    to try to sell their products like you
  • 00:05:05
    go back to that leaked image of the
  • 00:05:07
    Alien versus Predator cab usually
  • 00:05:10
    there's a lot more art going on and it's
  • 00:05:12
    a lot more well-placed so that gives me
  • 00:05:15
    a little bit of pause on it as well
  • 00:05:17
    there but I mean technically uh who
  • 00:05:21
    knows I I don't know everything but I
  • 00:05:23
    would assume that it would be more
  • 00:05:24
    polished if this is real John you should
  • 00:05:27
    probably hire a graphic design or to
  • 00:05:30
    help you with your Flyers that you're
  • 00:05:31
    going to hand out at media conventions
  • 00:05:33
    or you know in emails to do advertising
  • 00:05:36
    because this this looks like the
  • 00:05:38
    other thing is the
  • 00:05:42
    cabinets they look exactly like the
  • 00:05:44
    arcade one up Dynamo cab that they put
  • 00:05:47
    out uh which you know is not bad looking
  • 00:05:50
    uh I I like the fact that you know
  • 00:05:53
    they're not doing anything that isn't
  • 00:05:55
    arcade accurate like obviously they just
  • 00:05:57
    put the Marvel versus Capcom 2 sticker
  • 00:05:59
    around there they just put the third
  • 00:06:00
    fight fight strick stick around there as
  • 00:06:03
    you know arcade one up go above and
  • 00:06:04
    beyond and sometimes do more than they
  • 00:06:06
    need to do like when they did the Marvel
  • 00:06:08
    versus Capcom 2 side art they took the
  • 00:06:11
    PlayStation 2 graphic and stuck that on
  • 00:06:13
    the side so yeah I mean so far like even
  • 00:06:17
    the coind door is like pretty much an
  • 00:06:20
    exact ripoff of the arcade oneup coind
  • 00:06:23
    door so uh it's either um John's company
  • 00:06:27
    is not trying to do anything new or
  • 00:06:30
    someone basically just modified these
  • 00:06:32
    this is a fake using like an arcade
  • 00:06:35
    oneup build to base it off that's that
  • 00:06:37
    would be my guess um but yeah uh anyways
  • 00:06:41
    that's the images uh are they real are
  • 00:06:44
    they not I mean it's absolutely probable
  • 00:06:48
    especially if you go back to the video
  • 00:06:51
    that we did and the comments Johan was
  • 00:06:53
    making he said we're going to take you
  • 00:06:54
    for a ride in the video we talked about
  • 00:06:57
    John doing something Street Fighter
  • 00:06:59
    related so I mean it's on par with
  • 00:07:02
    everything we've heard so it could be
  • 00:07:04
    possible it's just it looks so
  • 00:07:08
    hamfisted um yeah it's it's questionable
  • 00:07:12
    so I figured I could sit here and
  • 00:07:14
    speculate or since I have access I could
  • 00:07:17
    ask the man himself and I did reach out
  • 00:07:19
    to John D and said John is this real and
  • 00:07:22
    John unequivocally said nah that's hella
  • 00:07:25
    fake that's exactly what he said he said
  • 00:07:28
    those cabinets are ugly do you really
  • 00:07:30
    think I'd make something that would look
  • 00:07:32
    like that so that's Jon's response
  • 00:07:35
    whether or not you want to believe him
  • 00:07:36
    that's entirely up to you but I keep
  • 00:07:39
    going back to these images it just it
  • 00:07:43
    seems really really poor quality um in
  • 00:07:46
    my opinion specifically the ad the other
  • 00:07:49
    thing too is these are very unbrand with
  • 00:07:52
    John but there's a couple things that if
  • 00:07:55
    they are real it kind of concerns me I
  • 00:07:57
    mean third strike is new that's
  • 00:07:59
    something the community hasn't seen
  • 00:08:00
    before but I mean we've all seen Marvel
  • 00:08:02
    versus Capcom before I I I mean that's
  • 00:08:06
    that's nothing new um the arcade oneop
  • 00:08:08
    has done it multiple times so if they're
  • 00:08:11
    going to do it they would have to do
  • 00:08:12
    something special and you know have net
  • 00:08:15
    code roll back in there make sure the
  • 00:08:17
    online is done right compared to Arc one
  • 00:08:20
    up and what they produced plus I mean
  • 00:08:24
    with the recent announcement of the
  • 00:08:26
    Marvel vs Capcom fighting collection you
  • 00:08:28
    would assume that this isn't necessarily
  • 00:08:31
    A smart business move to come right out
  • 00:08:34
    of the gate and base your first cabinet
  • 00:08:37
    that you're going to charge x amount of
  • 00:08:38
    dollars
  • 00:08:39
    on in competition really with the
  • 00:08:43
    console Port of the Marvel versus Capcom
  • 00:08:45
    fighting collection so the timing just
  • 00:08:47
    seems off I'm not saying John wouldn't
  • 00:08:50
    do it I just I I wouldn't understand it
  • 00:08:52
    it seems like a bad business maneuver
  • 00:08:55
    when this is going to be coming out in
  • 00:08:57
    the next couple months and readily
  • 00:08:59
    available for so many people there we've
  • 00:09:01
    already done a video questioning whether
  • 00:09:02
    or not arcade One op lost their
  • 00:09:04
    competitive Advantage with Marvel versus
  • 00:09:07
    Capcom fighting collection coming to
  • 00:09:09
    consoles it definitely isn't just arcade
  • 00:09:11
    one up any arcade company making a
  • 00:09:13
    Marvel versus Capcom cabinet right now
  • 00:09:16
    have lost that competitive Advantage I
  • 00:09:18
    mean sure you want to play it on a
  • 00:09:19
    cabinet but uh fighting game fans are
  • 00:09:22
    different I don't know so a couple other
  • 00:09:24
    things here one it says available
  • 00:09:27
    quarter 3 2025 so if this is
  • 00:09:31
    real that's a long wait time man like I
  • 00:09:35
    really I don't know I don't want to be
  • 00:09:38
    waiting a long that long for new
  • 00:09:40
    products to be coming out I mean it's
  • 00:09:41
    been a lean couple of years in the home
  • 00:09:43
    arcade space and I mean if you're going
  • 00:09:45
    to make people wait that long interest
  • 00:09:49
    is probably going to be dried up by then
  • 00:09:51
    so I I mean I find the timing um you
  • 00:09:55
    know concerning for me as an Enthusiast
  • 00:09:57
    and I think the community it it's too
  • 00:09:59
    far out like we need something
  • 00:10:02
    relatively soon we understand 2025 but
  • 00:10:05
    quarter 3 is a long way off um on top of
  • 00:10:09
    that the only other thing I really
  • 00:10:11
    wanted to mention there is also I'm not
  • 00:10:14
    the biggest fighting game fan so I mean
  • 00:10:18
    there's one title we've already seen
  • 00:10:20
    before albeit not in an XL and if this
  • 00:10:22
    is an XEL which the 19in screen implies
  • 00:10:26
    that could be exciting um third strike
  • 00:10:29
    is is a game I'm not familiar with at
  • 00:10:31
    all I'm excited for something new I'm
  • 00:10:33
    excited for the fans of that but I mean
  • 00:10:36
    I'm more hoping that somebody's going to
  • 00:10:38
    come out and make Recreations of arcade
  • 00:10:40
    cabinets and do more like 80s
  • 00:10:43
    Recreations do some really cool
  • 00:10:46
    beautiful looking cabinets and uh this
  • 00:10:49
    this doesn't hit the mark for me I mean
  • 00:10:51
    this isn't my cup of tea at all but some
  • 00:10:53
    people might be excited for it so yeah
  • 00:10:56
    th that's everything I can take from
  • 00:10:58
    this supposed image is it real or not
  • 00:11:01
    John D says it isn't it is very on brand
  • 00:11:04
    with John D I mean this is the shitty
  • 00:11:06
    likes so it could be probable I don't
  • 00:11:08
    know the man himself says no but you
  • 00:11:11
    know there there is a lot of things
  • 00:11:13
    pointing to it could be something very
  • 00:11:16
    similar to this if it's not this
  • 00:11:18
    directly so you make up your mind for
  • 00:11:20
    yourself right guys so anyways guys
  • 00:11:23
    that's my thoughts on this leaked flyer
  • 00:11:26
    for Media oneup or supposed leaked flyer
  • 00:11:30
    I mean it it is very on par with John D
  • 00:11:34
    it makes a lot of sense these are
  • 00:11:36
    definitely the type of games he would
  • 00:11:38
    like to make a lot of the things he's
  • 00:11:40
    talked about including the 19inch screen
  • 00:11:43
    uh bringing a new Street Fighter game to
  • 00:11:45
    the market is something we've talked
  • 00:11:47
    about before that John has always been
  • 00:11:49
    interested in doing even back with
  • 00:11:50
    arcade one up in that leak list from
  • 00:11:52
    last year that he put out there he did
  • 00:11:54
    mention on our stream I'm going to take
  • 00:11:56
    you for a rbe which led to speculation
  • 00:11:59
    about Marvel versus Capcom so you know
  • 00:12:02
    this is very probable these are very
  • 00:12:04
    easy cues um that could lead you to
  • 00:12:07
    think yes this is something John D is
  • 00:12:09
    doing but there's also a lot of
  • 00:12:11
    negatives about it I mean the quality of
  • 00:12:14
    the actual pamplet being put out there
  • 00:12:16
    is very Bush League It's So Below the
  • 00:12:19
    standards of arcade one up I can't
  • 00:12:21
    imagine John who does graphic design
  • 00:12:24
    himself would have put something out
  • 00:12:25
    like this the cabinets themselves uh do
  • 00:12:28
    look a little bit fake because I mean
  • 00:12:31
    they have the exact same uh coin door as
  • 00:12:34
    the arcade one up like it's pretty much
  • 00:12:36
    point for Point that's an arcade oneup
  • 00:12:38
    coin door uh it looks very much like an
  • 00:12:41
    hs5 and then on top of that the screens
  • 00:12:44
    look more widescreen than they do uh 4x3
  • 00:12:48
    so I I've got some questions about that
  • 00:12:51
    too uh yeah I don't know guys I I got to
  • 00:12:55
    leave this one up to you I mean it makes
  • 00:12:57
    sense but it also doesn't make sense so
  • 00:13:01

  • 00:13:03

  • 00:13:05
