Introduction

Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter (also called simply Marvel vs. Street Fighter, abbr. MVS/MSHvsSF/MSHVSF) is the sequel to X-Men vs. Street Fighter and the second game in the Marvel and Capcom crossover saga. It is the fourth fighting video game licensed from Marvel Comics by Capcom. Replaces most of the X-Men characters with characters from the video game Marvel Super Heroes (1995). In an attempt to balance the problems of previous video games, its graphics engine was altered, although the same visual aesthetic was maintained. It first appeared in arcades in 1997, and was converted to Saturn in 1998, and finally to PlayStation in 1999, with quite a few changes to its gameplay.

MSHvsSF is included in Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection Arcade Classics, making it the first console release in over 20 years since the PlayStation 1 release.

Why play Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter?

For the longest time, Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter was always overshadowed by its predecessor and successor, XMvsSF and MVC1, while also being considered the black sheep of the series.

Time has been very nice to this game though, and over the years has been reevaluated by players who now see how great this game actually is. This game was the stepping stone that led to the legendary MVC series.

While this game is a bit more restrained than XMvsSF and MVC1, it has its own unique elements and gameplay that helps it stand out from the rest. Not to mention that it has its own unique art style, unique music tracks only to this game, and an announcer that has been deemed the best in the entire franchise.

If you want a game that has elements of both MVC1 and XMvsSF (such as the introduction of assists), definitely consider giving this game a shot, you may be surprised!

-Variable Counter: Block,hca + fp+fk (level 1)
-Variable Combo: hct + fp+fk (level 2
-== Tier List ==
-Top Tier
-Wolverine (Spamming MP + Drill Claws + Berserker Rage Infinite = WHEEEEE!)
-Omega Red (Coils have good distance, combos do a lot of damage, ducks extremely low to the groud, retractable Omega Strike is advantage.)
-High-Mid Tier
-Cyclops -(Double Jumps, decent keep away game with FP and FK)
-Spiderman -( Stance is low to the ground, and has some decent combo damage)
-Captain America/U.S. Agent- (a simple LP, D.LK, D.FP, Shield Slash combo can do some heavy damage. Also, double jumps combined with jumping FP is pain.)
-Dhalsim - (I'd only say so because his Yoga Fire + FK has some potential to keep an opponent boxed in. Too bad his Supers are crap, though.)
-Mid Tier
-Akuma/Ryu/Ken - (Hmm.....tough call for me. They don't have the overwhelming advantage that the higher tiers have, but they can handle things on their own. Grouped together in that order.)
-Chun-Li
-Hulk - (Fairly quick, normals do some good damage. No Gamma Quake in this game makes him a tad more vulnerable on the ground, though)
-Armored Spiderman - (You know...he may be Spiderman with armor, but he does far less damage than the original. What's the point? He can still play pretty decently, but Spiderman is capable of inflicting damage after a couple of combos that would put a person into trouble very quickly. Armored Spiderman has to work harder to achieve that.)
-Sakura - (Sakura can do some damage, but you'd have to learn to capitalise on mistakes if you want to catch anybody off guard with her Supers.)
-Dark Sakura - (Sure, she's more like Akuma with longer range fireballs, but, basically, still a Sakura who dishes and takes more damage. I placed her lower for that last reason.)
-Shadow - (DAMN that twinkle. Makes his supers slower)
-Shuma Gorath
-Blackheart/Mephisto - (longest range pokes in the game, but can't chain Inferno => Heart of Darkness like in the later game. Poke and spam demons is all I can think of.)
-Mecha Zangief - (Higher up than regular Zangief because you can't knock him down that easily. However, still low down this list because most people can just stay away and blast him for free.)
-Low Tier
-Zangief - Capable of causing trouble with a jumping U + FP, but the faster characters can easily overwhelm him.
-M. Bison - (I find him hard to pull off effectively. His combos from XSF were basically nerfed, and his Psycho Crusher doesn't pull off well in an Aerial Rave as it used to. His normals are rather slow, and God FORBID you crouch and try to quickly Super Jump with an attack, because he might do that stupid Fly move instead. He'll get creamed by Wolverine and Omega for sure.)
-Dan - (No real ground combos, Crappy Supers, takes damage like a sissy girl. And that's the Dan we all know and love. Too bad the rest of the cast doesn't feel the same way.)
