aznpikachu215 (Me) playing X-Men vs. Street Fighter

X-Men vs. Street Fighter (known as XSF to Street Fighter fans) is an arcade game released by Capcom in 1996 and is the first game in the Marvel vs. Capcom series of fighting games. It features characters from the X-Men franchise and characters from the Street Fighter game series.

It was the first game to blend a tag team style of combat with the well-known Street Fighter gameplay, as well as incorporating elements from Capcom's previous fighting games in the Marvel Comics franchise, X-Men: Children of the Atom and Marvel Super Heroes. It was also ported to the Sega Saturn in 1997 and PlayStation in 1998. However, the tag team system was omitted from the Playstation port due to memory limitations.

Due to insufficient beta testing, every character in this game has at least one infinite combo; ironically, it is nevertheless praised by some Street Fighter fans as being the most "fun" entry of the four Marvel vs. Capcom games for precisely this reason.

==========================================

X-Men vs. Street Fighter uses a system similar to the style developed in Marvel Super Heroes, and adds the tag team gameplay feature. Instead of picking one character, a player picks two. The starting character can then tag the waiting one in at any time by hitting the Fierce and Roundhouse buttons, which activates the "Variable Attack"; the incoming player will jump in with an attack and taunt briefly. During their taunt, they are vulnerable to counter attack.

There are other ways to bring your other character in; the "Variable Counter", which replaces the Infinity Counter of Marvel Super Heroes, breaks your block to bring your teammate in with a counter attack at the cost of a level of super meter. Also, the "Variable Combination" is a two-character super attack which costs two levels, and will switch your character as long as neither character gets hit during their super moves.

Unlike some other tag-team games such as Tekken Tag Tournament, X-Men vs. Street Fighter requires both characters to be defeated in order to win the match.

The X-Men characters come largely unchanged from X-Men: Children of the Atom and Marvel Super Heroes, with the exception of Rogue, Gambit and Sabretooth, who were new to the series. The Street Fighter characters used their Street Fighter Alpha forms and their moves were given upgrades to match the larger-than-life atmosphere of the Marvel games (for example, Ryu's Hadouken is much larger than it is in other games).

Apocalypse is the final boss of the game. After defeating him, the character that defeated Apocalypse is forced to fight his or her teammate. (The game will not accept new challengers at this time, even in the arcade version). If you can defeat your CPU-controlled teammate, you will get an ending, usually a character-oriented joke.

Chun-Li
Charlie (Nash in the Japanese version)

Just a quick question here...

How do you do moves that require the quarter/half turn stuff if you're playing it in MAME on your computer?

[aznpikachu215]

Quarter/Half turn just means up/down for keyboard.

Shinkuu Hadouken = Down, Forward, Three punches.

[aznpikachu215]

@SSJPotatoChip now that's just hyperbole and you know it. Venom wasn't cheap at all. In fact far from it. And spiral wasn't either, see?

[Neutral1]

@kandiman1224 agreed. Gambit was one of the most blatantly cheap characters ever.

[ppgdblossom13]

Gambit and Cammy are my team players. They work great together for me :)

[kandiman1224]

i always hated gambit on this game along with cammy.....regular fighting rules just didn't apply with those fucktards

[Shiro420]

@LucPFT

I tried the PS version of this game and I liked it because I played Street Fighter series 4 so long.

[TehRamen]

[jug031]

[LucPFT]

Man, this brings back memories. I used to play it in the arcade as a kid when it first came out. Then I remember when the uber slow version came out for the first PlayStation.
