X-Men vs. Street Fighter

X-Men vs. Street Fighter is a fighting game published and developed by Capcom that was released for the Arcades in 1996 followed by Sega Saturn and PlayStation releases in 1997 and 1998 respectively.

It is the first game in the Marvel vs. Capcom series, and it also kickstarted the Vs. franchise that allowed Capcom to collab with other companies in terms of crossover fighting games.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The action and gameplay are fast-pasted and addicting, giving the game tons of replay value.
 * 2) This game contains some of the most memorable characters from the Street Fighter and X-Men franchises, and some of them have even appeared in later entries in the Marvel vs. Capcom series.
 * 3) There is a two-on-two tag-team system where you can choose two of your favorite characters to play as.
 * 4) The music is very memorable and fits the game's atmosphere very well.
 * 5) The Sega Saturn version is the perfect home port of the game, and it adds additional features like two new alternate colors for each character.
 * 6) The intro where Cyclops and Ryu handshake before the title appears is extremely memorable to this day.
 * 7) Though extremely unfair, Apocalypse is a very thrilling boss fight and you even get you fight your own partner after defeating him.
 * 8) The endings after you beat your own partner are very fun to watch and give a very cool take on what it would be like if characters from X-Men were to interact with the ones from Street Fighter.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The character roster and single-player content may be barebones compared to the later entries in the series, though not as bad as Street Fighter V.
 * 2) The PlayStation port is an inferior version of the game due to no tag-team system and constant loading times.
 * 3) Apocalypse is a very cheap and unfair final boss.
 * 4) The Sega Saturn version, despite being a superior home version, was never released outside of Japan for unknown reasons.
