Encyclopedia : M : MA : MAR : Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter
Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter (called MSHvSF or MSHSF by Street Fighter fans) is the second game in the Marvel vs. Capcom series of fighting games. In an attempt to balance the previous games' problems, the game engine was altered, although it remained aesthetically the same. The game was released for the Sega Saturn, Sony PlayStation and arcade in 1997.
Characters
Marvel characters
Street Fighter characters
- U.S. Agent
- Mephisto
- a grey version of Spider-Man that has limited armor, based on a metallic suit he wore in the comics (Armored Spider-Man);
- a version of Zangief that can neither block nor be put into hit stun (commonly called Iron Body Zangief or Metal Zangief, Mech Zangief);
- A sunburned Sakura who throws fireballs horizontally instead of diagonally, and also has Akuma's Ashura Warp and can perform the Shun Goku Satsu (sometimes mistakenly called Evil Sakura; see Satsui No Hadou);
- "Shadow", a darkened version of Charlie with powerful moves that have incredible start-up lag
- Norimaro (he is in the center space in the Japanese version; it is replaced by an unselectable logo in the American version)
Story
Apocalypse re-appears in the game as a sub-boss; after defeating him, your team will face a mechanized, super powered form of Akuma called Cyber Akuma (Mech Gouki in the Japanese version). Although the fight is two against one, he makes up for it by having overpowered strength and speed. The character that can beat Cyber Akuma will have his or her ending viewed upon completion.
Trivia
- Due to RAM limitations, U.S. Agent and Mephisto are palette swaps of Captain America and Blackheart, respectively.
- This is the only VS X Men/Marvel game where the Capcom characters have original character theme tunes that aren't just remixes from older games.
