X-Men vs. Street Fighter is a classic 1996 crossover fighting game developed by Capcom for arcades. The title broke new ground in the 2D fighting genre by introducing a fast-paced tag-team combat system, allowing players to seamlessly swap between iconic Marvel mutants and legendary Street Fighter martial artists mid-battle.
How to Play
Select a team of two characters and face off against opposing duos in tag-team matches. To win, you must deplete the health bars of both opposing fighters. The arcade cabinet controls map easily to your keyboard: use the arrow keys to move, jump, and block, while the standard six-button arcade layout (traditionally mapped to Z, X, C, A, S, D) handles your light, medium, and heavy punches and kicks.
Tips
- Tag to heal: Swapping out a battered character allows them to recover a portion of their health while resting in the background.
- Variable Cross: You can perform massive dual-character hyper combos by consuming two levels of your hyper combo gauge when tagging, unleashing both fighters’ special moves simultaneously.
