I first played this at the arcade. I was lucky to have a Sega Saturn and a 4mb flash cart so back then I got to play the best console version of this game. It was awesome because the animations were awesome and you had the tag mode. The PS1 version had so many cuts it's pitiful.
I remember playing this one a whole bunch, and then I learned there were hidden playable characters! The next thing I knew, I was blowing away my foes with Star Star as Captain America and U.S. Agent.
There was US Agent, Shadow Charlie, armored zangief, armored spider man, sunburned/dark Sakura, in the Japanese version you had noimaru can't spell his name. Noimaru was a super fan character and was bonkers.
God. Being young in the 90s was really cool. Sure other decades, had there thing, but nothing can touch marvel heroes vs street fighter. Not even smash brothers.
There are so many parts of this game that I'd love back in a marvel game. Especially the super move names showing up after a KO, it's so silly but it's great.
I would play this game for HOURS. I would play the music in the background and try to get all the artwork. I still have Wolverine's theme on my soundcloud Playlist. It's so iconic to me.
I agree. The novelty of playing as Marvel characters, especially in the arcade era, was much stronger. Seeing how they'd translate to the medium of fighting games-- especially for Supers-- was always a treat
The ending is mad interesting in my opinion . They are playing off that fact that at this point in the comics wolverine doesn't remember his past. So for a crossover it makes all the sense in the world to throw in a badass like Akuma and hint that he knows Logan from back in the day. That and like chun li joining the xmen are fun lil endings with a bit of intrigue. Not complete jokes like street fighter 5 endings
There's always like, 2.5 of these characters in every game, just to eat quarters. MSH had Spidey and Juggernaut. XvSF had Cammy and Rogue. This has Cyclops and Cyber. MvC has CapCom and Hiryu. MvC2 has Storm and Rogue.
If you needed any more reason to play this masterpiece, there you go. Ghost Rider in a tube. (I think Guile, Charlie, Elektra, Balrog and Storm are all inside tubes in that stage as well, but I might be mistaken.)
For me this was the defenitive game in the VS series, even when you end the fight with a special the announcer call it ! MVC dont have that kind of vibe
Oh good lord cyber akuma. I tried to erase that from my memory. He was super overpowered. In the Japanese Sega Saturn game I knew him as mech gouki lol
I had no problems beating Cyber Akuma. I used characters like Ryu, Wolverine, Ken, Cyclops, Akuma, Spiderman, Omega Red, Blackheart, Sakura, Captain America & even Bison & Dhalsim
_Welcome to the Adventure!!_ _Look! Spectacular Action!!_ _Behold! Amazing Fantasy!!_ _Feel Sensational Thrills!!_ *10/10 ANNOUNCER.* If only they kept up this format of announcing Hyper Combo Finishers moving forward in the _Marvel vs. Capcom_ series....
Cyber-Akuma was a final boss type that I really wanted to see more of in Capcom's Vs. games: a fast and skilled fighter instead of a giant hitbox tank.
Oh snap, i totally remember this game as a child! I totally suck ass as a newbie, but it was so much fun as spider-Man!!! Plus that intro is beyond HYPE!!!!!!!
I got to say that this is my fav VS of all, best music, great cast, perfect port on Sega Saturn. I think would be better rerelease all VS in one bundle and not just mvc2 alone.
I remember being on vacation in 97 when I was a kid in seaside heights NJ on the boardwalk looking to play marvel super heroes at one of the many arcades I'd stop to and it was gone. Was so let down until I saw the vendor wheel in marvel super heroes vs street fighter. My first time seeing it. And was first to get a game on the cabinet
@@shen-long9082 me liking capcom characters more has nothing to do with me losing alot, of course i lose lol if i go into fightcade right now i'll get my ass beat but i still prefer the capcom side regardless, i just find them way cooler
Well, I guess that explains why the Marvel vs games are always called "Marvel this" and "Marvel that", cause all of y'all Marvel fan boys never acknowledge the Capcom side. And when y'all see a gamer playing the Capcom characters, y'all blow s**t to them calling them "scrubs" and crap. At least those gamers y'all call scrubs to are open minded, and willing to play with the non Marvel characters, at the end of the day.
MSH VS SF! The only game in the series I’ve never truly played. I didn’t even knew it existed till a heard of the Vs. Compilation that came out in the PS3/Xbox360 era!!
You want to know something painful? Playing only the Playstation version, not knowing you were supposed to be able to switch characters. Facing CyberAkuma with only one health bar. And always getting super close but failing. Imagine the frustration as a 5-8 year old.
Too bad there wasn't a Japanese version of what he played. I guess no one will ever know Norimaro's existence. Well, he's there on the left side next to Dan in the video.
8:14. Ha! Chun doing everything but old school air mk pogo kicking off your head not to get hit! 😁 May your Akuma Red boss vibes carry you through to completion Dood!
I never actually saw an arcade of this game until I played it on MAME many years later, I'm not too familiar with it, but it seemed like the red-headed middle child of the VS series; not as memorable as Marvel Super Heroes and not as ground-breaking as X-Men vs Street Fighter, kind of unnecessary, but still pretty cool regardless.
I think the ending hints that akuma sees wolverine as a potencial challenger. It would be nice to see an "Evil Wolverine" engulfed by the satsui no hado.
I think Akuma and Wolverine like fighting each other, there was a game in which both reunite to talk about Wolverine's past, not without a fight first, obviously.
So strange in this game characters land on their feet after throws. Used to haver on the Saturn. Still have the case but sold my stuff LONG ago. If you can and you probably have the Saturn version yourself..PLAY AS NORIMARU!!!! Awesome how the announcer yells out the supers when finishing with them.. SHINKUUTASTUIMAKISENPUUKYAKU!! (I'd like some poundcake to the EXTREME!!) Lastly, love Ryu's "Superheroish theme and Wolverines relaxing theme
Ah yes that awkard period where they had all of Marvel at their fingertips, but were still allergic to any other Capcom franchise not called Street Fighter.
The point with MvsSF is that the combos were not the main thing ...yet. So special moves do a a lot of damage compared to combos, making comboing not really worth the trouble. Everything changes in Marvel vs Capcom.
Word, that's the first time I hear someone say the AI is incredibly cheap in these Marvel vs games. I always thought the AI was decent in the Marvel vs games, except MvC2's AI.
Ever think about how Wolverine is literally using 12 inch long razor sharp blades against mostly unarmed individuals, and using the power of these blades to “knock people unconscious”?
My most played among the Marvel VS games. I main Shuma-Gorath and Omega Red/Spider-Man. I don't go to arcades anymore and I wish they will rerelease this on PC with rollback.
love this game the graphics good the music amazing kuz each character has there own, I wish they would sell it again for the ps5 and Xbox console would definitely buy
I have my modded SFII A1UP play the demo mode for Marvel v Street Fighter for background noise sometimes. Shit is so hype you just have to listen to the announcer pelt out that intro on full blast I get a rush!
Tbh, I prefer this game to X-Men vs Street Fighter mainly because its roster consists of other Marvel characters outside of the X-Men. And I always leap at any chance I get to use Spider-Man! Not to mention I absolutely love how hype the announcer is and the fact that he actually says the names of the supers when you win with them
3:35, No offense, a skilled human player can also give you frustrations in a versus match too. I recall you once complaining about another human player blocking your attacks constantly in MvC2. 😂
I wish more announcers in games sounded like the one in this game. "Choose your alter ego!" Is still one of the best things ever.
Immersion at its finest
MvC and MvC2 were SO hype back then
I first played this at the arcade. I was lucky to have a Sega Saturn and a 4mb flash cart so back then I got to play the best console version of this game. It was awesome because the animations were awesome and you had the tag mode. The PS1 version had so many cuts it's pitiful.
In Guilty Gear X, it sounds like Justice is the announcer. Which is very creepy to me, since... well... she's dead.
Facts this game was so hyped, I loved that it called the Supers and Crossovers
The announcer in this game was epic. I used to repeatedly push button so i can hear that announcer say welcome to the adventure
My favorite one
the fact that the announcer combine and says both supers while doing it with two characters is awesome
I remember playing this one a whole bunch, and then I learned there were hidden playable characters! The next thing I knew, I was blowing away my foes with Star Star as Captain America and U.S. Agent.
There was US Agent, Shadow Charlie, armored zangief, armored spider man, sunburned/dark Sakura, in the Japanese version you had noimaru can't spell his name. Noimaru was a super fan character and was bonkers.
God. Being young in the 90s was really cool. Sure other decades, had there thing, but nothing can touch marvel heroes vs street fighter. Not even smash brothers.
Walking by my neighborhood's arcade and hearing The Marvel super heroes V.s Street fighter cabinet full blast brings so much nostalgia
The remixed intro in this video is absolutely incredible! Especially with the added _very brief_ flash of silhouettes of the secret characters!
There are so many parts of this game that I'd love back in a marvel game. Especially the super move names showing up after a KO, it's so silly but it's great.
I would play this game for HOURS. I would play the music in the background and try to get all the artwork. I still have Wolverine's theme on my soundcloud Playlist. It's so iconic to me.
Wish Marvel and Capcom would bring these classic games back with HD quality and online play. I would buy them again.
It's out now.

I agree. The novelty of playing as Marvel characters, especially in the arcade era, was much stronger. Seeing how they'd translate to the medium of fighting games-- especially for Supers-- was always a treat
I always made it a point to play one marvel character and one SF character. I've always liked played one character from each side.
They tend to be more fun and flashier too
So nostalgic, the small local arcade where I grew up had this cabinet, I put a lot of time into it.

16:37 love Cyber Akuma's Shoryuken
It could do up to an 11 hit combo!
This game introduced the best character ever. MECH FREAKING ZANGIEF GANG RISE UP
Hilariously he can be used as a counter to Wolverine.
Akuma and Wolverine will make such great rivals. Imagine Logan surviving his raging demon is the reason that got Akuma to be his worthy opponent.
I think the devs coded frustration into Cyclop’s character. 😂😂😂 He’s annoying when controlled by the AI.
There's always like, 2.5 of these characters in every game, just to eat quarters.
MSH had Spidey and Juggernaut.
XvSF had Cammy and Rogue.
This has Cyclops and Cyber.
MvC has CapCom and Hiryu.
MvC2 has Storm and Rogue.
@@TonyTheTGR Facts!
@@TonyTheTGR u forgot ken in x-men vs. sf. ken's shoryuken spam by the ai is annoying bas fck
The announcer during the intro of MSH vs SF always reminded me of Dick Vitale.
😂 same!
The spritework and animation in this game is insane. Blackheart looks so badass
Everyone played the Marvel characters? Not in my experience. Everyone wanted to see Sakura's bloomers.
Who wouldn't
"in the versus games everyone picks the Marvel characters". Guess I'm the weirdo that barely chooses the Marvel characters, huh.
I like using the Marvel characters, but I stick with the Capcom characters much more, at the end of the day.
If you needed any more reason to play this masterpiece, there you go. Ghost Rider in a tube.
(I think Guile, Charlie, Elektra, Balrog and Storm are all inside tubes in that stage as well, but I might be mistaken.)
You're correct as to which characters are there. A little detail I noticed is Guile and Charlie are talking to each other on radios.
For me this was the defenitive game in the VS series, even when you end the fight with a special the announcer call it ! MVC dont have that kind of vibe
Personally I agree. This legit is my favorite one of the 2vs2. I even got the soundtrack and it was glorious to listen to day in Day Out
Yep. Tony Daniels really added the additional hype to this game.
@AT Productions Yeah but even the generic announcements still felt cool to hear.

The roster was small, but the game was still fun to play
I love the announcer in this game, it really makes you feel hyped!
This is my favorite of the 2v2 games, even though I like combos on XMvSF more
The fact that he calls out every super KO, and has unique crossover super KO callouts is awesome.

Maximilian / Ender
0:25 maybe add a 'Flashing Lights Alert' message. Just to be safe.
I love wolverine's ending just being further shenanigans about him and akuma's bromance
We seriously need more crossover bosses like Cyber-Akuma. Altering a character with the powers of another universe is such a simple but so cool.
Well CVS2 gave us Orochi powered Shin Akuma & Ultimate Rugal
Cyber Akuma is in Cyberbots
God Rugal
@travis Rm Thanos with the Satsui no Hado has potential too
Only if it makes sense
This and mutant academy 2 were my first fighting games!!! Great memories
This game was and forever will be my favorite out of all the versus games for various reasons but that announcer is undefeated!!!!!!!
Cyber-Akuma was a final boss type that I really wanted to see more of in Capcom's Vs. games: a fast and skilled fighter instead of a giant hitbox tank.
Im waiting for Max to play Norimaro in the Japanese Version, He is very funny to play though.
An uppercut (Gene Splice)
A fireball (optic blast in a variety of flavors)
A Tatsu (that chains into a low kick)
Cyclops is a shoto!!
The uppercut is called Gene splice. But yeah, he a shoto.
@@Rober_2403 Appreciate the info!

Omega Red is so cool. It'd be nice if he showed up in Insomniac's Wolverine.
Love the ost in this game, especially Sakura, Ken, Wolverine and Cap's themes.
Agreed 100 percent
How about the Secret Characters theme? 👀
I must agree though, the one in this game is the best version of Cap's theme
Spiderman's theme in this is absolutely my favorite of his from the Vs series.

Woof, Max wasn't kidding in the last video, the screen flashes are definitely a thing in this one
Dan's ending in this is still the best one.
I remember when I found out about the double shinku hadoken when picking Ken and Ryu. That was so hype back in the day
This was the first Versus game I've seen in the arcades. Too bad the arcade in my local Shopping died and removed all the machines...
Glad I was able to track down the PS1 version... sure it's converted to a one on one fighter... but it was fun as hell to play recently
I think Akuma and Wolverine like fighting each other, there was a game in which both reunite to talk about Wolverine's past, not without a fight first, obviously.
Been waiting for this one!
The announcer for this game was also the VA for Gambit, who was ironically Canadian.

In my local arcade, I always try to beat the game with at least 1 million points!😁
Imagine copying characters between games with barely any changes nowadays. This would be review bombed to hell.
Best game of the versus series right here. My childhood favorite game. And best intro lol.
For me too, I really love this game on arcade and sega saturn.
Ah yes that awkard period where they had all of Marvel at their fingertips, but were still allergic to any other Capcom franchise not called Street Fighter.
I absolutely love this game's soundtrack but specifically omega reds and bisons.
Never realized how much Blackheart and Venom DNA Zato=1 from GG has. I guess its a bit obvious since his symbiote goo buddy is named Eddy...
i don't know if i played like a hacked version when i was a kid, but i remember cyber akuma spamming attacks more often than this
Man I miss this game so much! Played tf out of it when it 1st dropped. Good memories man.
The point with MvsSF is that the combos were not the main thing ...yet. So special moves do a a lot of damage compared to combos, making comboing not really worth the trouble. Everything changes in Marvel vs Capcom.
In Xmen vs Street fighter Akuma has a Wolverine related ending too.. 🤔
Are we missing a Devil Logan form?! Does some universe exist with an Evil Wolverine that can bust out a raging demon?!
7:47 and 8:14 I'VE NEVER SEEN CHUN LI DO THAT BEFORE!😳
The A.I in Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter is the easiest of the series, I don't think it's that cheap.
Word, that's the first time I hear someone say the AI is incredibly cheap in these Marvel vs games. I always thought the AI was decent in the Marvel vs games, except MvC2's AI.
Shuma had the best soundtrack idc idc
Akuma had an ending with Wolverine in X-Men vs Street Fighter, so this basically continued their little beef.
Seeing Rose in the background makes me sad we never got her as a VS. playable :
Also, Cyber-Akuma was the weirdest MegaMan 8 easter egg ever
one of the best games....sound track too...
Cyber-Akuma was much more difficult in the PS1 version, since you only had one lifebar/character.
Ever think about how Wolverine is literally using 12 inch long razor sharp blades against mostly unarmed individuals, and using the power of these blades to “knock people unconscious”?
