General: The first ever big cross-over fighting game, and it sure made a bang at the arcades... Fans of Street Fighter and fans of Marvel united in battle with their favorite characters... A beautiful sight it was. X-men VS Street Fighter used the same gameplay style as Marvel Super Heroes, giving characters the ability to "Super Jump" and also unleash amazingly big and stylishly flashy super moves. This game was the first game to feature tag-team feature, as you can switch your first character with your second at any time. Fighting game fans had certainly never seen anything like this before, and a new hit series was born... The VS series. There were 3 more installments of the VS series: Marvel Super Heroes VS Street Fighter, Marvel VS Capcom, and Marvel VS Capcom 2.
.
The best home port of X-men VS Street Fighter was on the Sega Saturn, as it contained nearly no slow down and the same tag team gameplay from the arcade version. The Playstation version was unfortunately lacking the tag team gameplay, as your partner could only come in during a team super move; and also suffered from slowdown. So if you've only played the Playstation version, you haven't played the real X-men VS Street Fighter.

Closing Comment: Definitely one of my favorite games at the time... A dream come true for a nerd like me. It's really a pretty game, still to this day. Awesome backgrounds, great character animations; and the music and sound effects are memorable. The gameplay is still fun as hell, but there are of course "Infinites," where you simply cannot escape from a combo. Some may say that this game turned into a sloppy mess of who can get their infinites off first... But even though it is broken, it can still be fun. ~F.Yagami, Webmaster of TFG
