X-Men vs. Street Fighter

About

X Men vs Street Fighter is a 1996 2D fighting game that pits Marvel mutants against Street Fighter warriors. Players control two characters at once switching between them mid battle to land combos and counter attacks. The action is fast and flashy with each fighter’s signature moves intact. Single player modes include basic arcade challenges while multiplayer lets you test skills against another person. The tag team format was a fresh twist on the Street Fighter formula though it didn’t stick around long. The roster is a chaotic mix of Wolverine Ryu and other oddball pairings. While it never matched the success of later Marvel vs Capcom games it carved out a niche for wild crossover fun. Fans of both franchises appreciate the early attempt to mash two universes into one punchy fighter.
