I loved this game back in the 90s and I still play it from time to time to this day. Working your team is key, you can change any time you want so be sure to let a heavily beaten character rest before they are fully defeated! You have a super meter that fills and you can use these to unleash devastating attacks. In all, it is just so much flashier and more exciting than anything we had before. The game has super exaggerated attacks and these awesome air combos that you can do. The game actually has far more in common with Marvel Super Heroes than it does Street Fighter.
If you have played any Street Fighter or even one of the previous Marvel games, you know what to expect here. The game is a six-button fighting game as you would expect from Capcom. Once you have picked your two characters, you then start to fight. You have your standard arcade mode, the ability to fight a friend, and a training mode and that is all that is on offer here. Now, the Sega Saturn version has this feature and it is awesome, but the PlayStation was not able to handle it so they stripped this feature away! This was very annoying, but the game is still a lot of fun.By today's standards, I must admit that the game is very lacking in terms of game modes.
You pick two characters, any two that you want that X-Men vs Street Fighter offers you and you need to defeat a series of teams before facing off against Apocalypse. The big gameplay gimmick here is the tag feature. The character roster is awesome, but it is interesting how the Street Fighter characters appear to be more based on their Alpha version. You have characters such as Ryu, Ken, and Chun-Li on the Street Fighter side and Wolverine, Cyclops and Gambit on the X-Men side.
There are 16 characters (well 17, but Akuma is a secret one) you have eight from Street Fighter and eight from X-Men. This one has Apocalypse the villain from X-Men as the main villain and it is up to our heroes to stop him. What some people forget is that X-Men vs Street Fighter is actually the third in another series! You see before this we had X-Men Children of the Atom and Marvel Super Heroes, both of which are great games. While it is easy to talk about this game as the first in the Vs series. While it may not be as “crazy” and over the top as the games that would follow, this is still an excellent fighting game that is not to be missed. I played the hell out of this on the PlayStation back in the day, but it is the Sega Saturn version I am talking about today as that is the better version. Before we had the Marvel vs Capcom series this is what we had. X-Men vs Street Fighter is where the whole Capcom cross over craze started.
