Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter (マーヴル・スーパーヒーローズVS.ストリートファイター) is a versus fighting game developed and published by Capcom. It was released for the Sega Saturn in 1998, exclusively in Japan. It is the second in Capcom's crossover series, and can be seen as a sequel to X-Men vs. Street Fighter. It features characters from Street Fighter Alpha 2 and Marvel Super Heroes, two other fighting games by Capcom.

Story

An evil mutant, believing in the survival of the fittest, wants to kill off the weak and force humanity to evolve stronger. As he considers himself the end of modern man, he calls himself Apocalypse. It is up to Earth's greatest heroes to stop him from annihilating humanity.

Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter is the second installment in the Marvel vs. Capcom series of 2D fighting games. It utilizes the same tag team format previously employed in X-Men vs. Street Fighter. Each player selects two characters to compete in two-on-two battles. Instead of the typical best-of-three round format, matches consist of a single round. At the start of the match, the first selected character is controlled by the player, while the second character remains off-screen and acts as support. Characters have separate vitality bars, and the dormant character slowly recovers the red portion of their vitality bar while the other character is fighting. If one character loses all of their vitality, then the tag partner automatically replaces them in play. The match continues until both characters on either team are defeated. If the timer runs out before either team is knocked out, then the player with the most combined remaining health is declared the winner.

The most notable gameplay change in Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter is the addition of the Variable Assist, which allows the player can summon their off-screen partner to perform a special move without changing their currently-controlled character, opening new possibilities for combos during battle and greatly expanding the role of the secondary character. The ability to use assists would later become a signature gameplay element used in future installments.

Characters move with Left and Right and dash with Left Left and Right Right (or X+Y+Z). They jump upward with Up and jump behind and ahead with Up-left and Up-right. Characters can Super Jump high into the air with Down Up (or A+B+C). They crouch with Down. Punches are done with X (light), Y (medium), and Z (strong) and kicks are done with A (light), B (medium), and C (strong). Light attacks are faster and hard attacks deal more damage. Special moves for each character are done by pairing specific directional combinations with an attack button. Blocking is done by holding the D-Pad away from the opponent, which can also be done in the air. While blocking, characters can repel the attacker by pushing all three punch buttons simultaneously. Characters can perform a taunt with R, which is a short animation during which the character is vulnerable to attack.

Throws and grabs are done by holding Left or Right when next to an opponent and pressing a medium or hard punch or kick button. Characters can perform throws in the air as well. Throws cannot be blocked, but characters can land safely out of a throw by pressing the same motion as a throw, which greatly reduces the damage taken. It is also possible to roll on the ground after falling from a throw or other attack by pressing Down Down-left Left P (or Down Down-right Right P if facing left).

Characters can initiate an Aerial Rave by pressing the light punch and kick buttons simultaneously (A+X by default) when next to an opponent. This launches the opponent high into the air, and the character can pursue the opponent with Up and follow-up with a midair combo.

At any time during the match, the player can execute the Variable Attack by pressing the strong punch and strong kick buttons simultaneously (C+Z or L by default). This causes the other character to jump into battle with an aerial attack, followed by a taunt (during which they are vulnerable to attack), replacing the current character. The player can also execute a Variable Assist by pressing the medium punch and medium kick buttons simultaneously (B+Y by default). This causes the other character to quickly jump into battle, perform an assist attack, and jump back out, without switching characters. The character under control is briefly vulnerable while this happens.

Characters share a Hyper Combo gauge with three levels. When the gauge is at level 1 or higher, a character can perform a Hyper Combo with a special button combination (typically a directional motion with two punch or kick buttons). These moves do high damage if they successfully connect with an opponent (and often do additional damage if the player presses the attack buttons rapidly while they are being performed). This costs one level of the gauge. If the gauge is at level 2 or higher and neither team member has been defeated, the player can perform a Variable Combination, where both characters perform a Hyper Combo simultaneously, by pressing Down Down-right Right (or Down Down-left Left if facing left), then the strong punch and strong kick buttons simultaneously (C+Z by default). This switches the characters and costs two levels of the gauge. Finally, players can perform a special counterattacking technique called a Variable Counter after blocking an opponent's attack with Left Down-left Down P (or Right Down-right Down P if facing left), which summons the other team member to jump in and attack the opponent. This switches the characters and costs one level of the gauge.

After selecting a character, the player can choose between Normal or Easy mode and Normal or Turbo game speed. Easy mode automatically performs combos with repeated presses of light attack buttons and special moves with repeated presses of medium and hard attack buttons.

Modes

In Arcade Mode, the player fights several computer-controlled teams before fighting Apocalypse, an antagonist from the X-Men series. After defeating Apocalypse, the player must win a two-on-one final battle against Mech-Gouki (Cyber-Akuma). There are eight different difficulty levels for computer-controlled opponents.

In Versus Mode, two players can fight against each other, with the ability to choose handicaps and the stage.

There is also a Survival Mode, where one player fights every character in the game (including the hidden characters and the bosses), with the difficulty level increasing with each battle. Any vitality lost in the last match is red at the start of the next match, so that it recovers when the fighter is not active (and red vitality from the previous match is fully restored). The player only has one chance to succeed; losing both characters in one match ends the game. The game saves records such as high scores and wins/losses to the console's internal memory.

History

Legacy

The game was followed by Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes, released in arcades in 1998 and ported to the Sega Dreamcast in 1999.

Versions

The Saturn port, which requires the 4MB Extended RAM Cartridge, was praised for accurately reproducing the arcade game. The PlayStation port, like X-Men vs. Street Fighter, suffered numerous cutbacks due to the system's lack of RAM, such as reduced animations, long load times, and most significantly, replacing the tag team format with a more traditional round format.
