X-Men vs. Street Fighter is a legendary 1996 crossover fighting game developed by Capcom for the Arcade. As the first entry in what would become the Marvel vs. Capcom series, it introduced the revolutionary 2-on-2 tag-team battle system, allowing players to instantly swap between mutants like Wolverine and Magneto, and world warriors like Ryu and Chun-Li during combat.
How to play: Choose a team of two fighters and battle until both opposing characters are defeated. Arcade default web controls generally map the joystick to the arrow keys, with attacks mapped to Z, X, C, A, S, and D (representing light, medium, and heavy punches and kicks). Press Enter (Start) to begin, and Shift (Select/Coin) to insert credits.
Tips: Learn to use the tag system defensively; switching out a damaged character allows them to slowly recover a portion of their red health while off-screen. You can also call your partner in for a quick assist attack or perform massive dual-character Variable Combinations.
