SF quickly tumbles to the bottom of Capcom's PlayStation brawl barrel. Right off the bat, the game suffers a major setback in this translation: Unlike in the Saturn import, you can't change fighters at will during a match. Instead, your partner can only briefly enter the fray during a Team-Up Move or Counter. This reduces the game to a one-on-one fighter and removes the diversity that made the arcade version so much fun to play.
Even as a straight one-on-one fighting game, though, X-Men vs. SF has huge problems. The biggest villains are the flagging animation and torturously slow gameplay. The fighters suffer from jerky animation, and some of the screen-filling super moves bring the action to a grinding halt--which ruins your timing.
Even the highest turbo setting doesn't hasten the game's pace. If you're dying to pit the super heroes against the Street Fighters, X-Men vs. Street Fighter is worth a cautionary rental at best. Otherwise, steer clear of this unheroic home translation. The hand-drawn fighters look great, but only when they're at a standstill.
Moving characters display jerky animation, and the gameplay is riddled with slowdown. All the super moves and special moves are easy to execute, but the slow gameplay ruins your timing--especially when you're trying to execute a high-hitting combo or a precision air juggle.
The music is excellent, but some audio effects, like punches and kicks, are muted and sound like they were recorded through a pillow. Street Fighter belly-flops onto the PlayStation with a resounding thud. Fans of both X-Men and SF will find nothing but slow gameplay, choppy graphics, and extreme disappointment.
Take one group of well-known comic book superheroes and mix in characters from the hottest fighting game titles ail you have an epic clash of good vs. Based on the arcade original. Street Fighter is expected to grab home players' attention as much as its premiere form did this past year in the arcade. This year. Capcom seems to be putting more than the usual emphasis on games that involve superheroes. Against a human opponent, it's a level playing-field; against the incredibly cheap computer A.
Street Fighter still delivers enough fighting fun to make it worth the average gamer's time. Rabid Capcom fighting fans, however, should be satisfied with a weekend rental.
The next edition in Capcom's popular Vs. Street Fighter improves upon its predecessor X-Men vs. Street Fighter , and provides a great stop-gap before we move on to Marvel vs. Capcom confused yet? Bison, Dhalsim, Sakura and Dan. In this PlayStation version, you pick one primary fighter with a back-up teammate who only comes in during Variable Counters where your partner knocks the opponent back while you're blocking , Variable Combinations team super combos and the new Variable Assists you can call in your teammate for a quick attack, which you can use in conjunction with your own combos.
Unfortunately, these are the only circumstances where the teammate comes into play. You still can't freely switch between fighters during battle, because the PlayStation only has enough video memory to store two sets of characters' moves per loading session.
To help make up for this, MSH vs. SF has a Crossover Mode, which will let you tag team. The catch? Your opponent has to use the same two characters as you. This game will have its limitations. Slowdown, no tag teaming and other drawbacks wilt keep MSH vs. SF from being a perfect arcade experience that it should be. SF, rest assured, you will enjoy this game. Well, it had to happen. The sun V has finally set on Saturn.
With the recent announcement by Sega of Japan that support for its Bit system will cease in Sad as that may be, one third-party developer has decided to end their Saturn career with an explosive bang: Capcom, with the Oct. Street Fighter, has delivered their best arcade-to-home conversion yet. Featuring all the animation of the arcade favorite including the kaleidoscopic specials and eye-flaying background transformations with none of the slowdown, Marvel Super Heroes vs.
Street Fighter comes to the Saturn with every graphic element intact, unmarred by visible load times. Although the graphics suffer from dithering a fault of the aging CPS2 arcade hardware from which the game was ported, not the Saturn , the game is so intensely hyperkinetic that you'll never notice.
In fact, the over-the-top sunbursts and full-screen splash effects make it easy to lose track of your character in the heat of battle, lending credence to the belief that the game is "spazzy. The character roster is quite impressive, with 18 marquee characters and five secret ones. Notables include the fan favorites Dan and Sakura, Marvel bad boys Shuma-Gorath and Blackheart, as well as the Capcom-ized rendition of a popular Japanese comedian, dubbed Norimaro. As with the arcade version, some character animation has been toned down when compared to previous Marvel titles, presumably to allow for the flashier background and splash effects.
The same combo-driven play you've come to expect from the Versus series appears in full force for this title, save for some much-needed timing changes to the air combo engine and juggles. These changes effectively prevent the infamous "infinite" combos that made X-Men vs. Street Fighter so notorious and allow for more technical play.
Fans of the series generally agree that of the three Versus titles, MSH vs. SF is probably the most balanced, play-wise. Note that all this arcade excellence comes with a price--you'll need the 4-Meg RAM Expansion or a 4-in-i cart if you hope to play this title.
Still, if you're fan of Capcom arcade titles and have the ability to play imports, you owe it to yourself to pick up MSH vs. The Saturn is dead; long live the Saturn! There are different ways to bring the other character in; such as the "Variable Counter", which replaces the Infinity Counter from Marvel Super Heroes, breaks the opponents guard to then bring the teammate in with a counter attack while using some of the super meter. There is also the "Variable Combination", which is a two-character Hyper Combo the super moves in the game which drains two levels of the super meter, and will then switch the player's current character as long as neither character gets hit during their Hyper Combos.
The Street Fighter characters use their forms from Street Fighter Alpha 2 with their special moves getting upgrades to match the over-the-top Marvel games example being, Ken's Shoryuken makes him flame up and hit his opponent very high.
Street Fighter includes 17 playable characters eight from X-Men side and nine from the Street Fighter side. The game also includes an unplayable boss, Apocalypse, who takes up much of the screen and does not have a tag partner.
All characters are from Street Fighter Alpha 2 , with the exception of Cammy. Street Fighter. PlayStation Saturn Arcade. Gameplay X-Men vs.
