Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes PS1

Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes is the third installment of the popular crossover series initiated by X-Men vs. Street Fighter. Like the earlier installments of the series of fighting games, the game launched on arcade machines and later appeared, among others, on PS1.

Mechanics

Unlike the previous installments of the series, in Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes the players can play not only as the fighters known from the Street Fighter series and the superheroes of the Marvel universe but also characters from other games released by Capcom. On one side of the barricade we can find Captain America, The Hulk, Spider-Man, and Wolverine, while on the other side, for example, Mega Man, Ryu, Chun-Li and Captain Commando.

The core of the game are once again duels in two-dimensional arenas, in which success is ensured first of all by the mastering of the extensive system of combos. Before the duel we choose two heroes, but unlike in the edition designed for arcade machines and Sega Dreamcast console, on PS1, the second warrior acts as an assistant, entering the battlefield only in order to launch special attacks.

Game modes

Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes can be played alone or in the company of another person in a competitive multiplayer mode. The basic variant of the game is the Arcade mode, where we fight a series of duels before we can fight against Onslaught as the final boss. In addition, the devs provide us with a Training mode, as well as a Survival mode, in which we repel the attacks of successive waves of enemies. The list of modes available on PS1 is closed by Cross Over, which is the only mode of play in which we can switch between two fighters in a duel; however, the second character chosen by the first player must be the same as the basic warrior of his opponent.

Technical aspects

Just like the previous installments of the series, Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes features two-dimensional visuals maintained in a comic book-like style.
