This is the first game in the Marvel vs. Capcom series. It features characters from the X-Men franchise and characters from the Street Fighter series.
It was the first game to blend a tag team style of combat with the well-known Street Fighter gameplay, as well as incorporating elements from Capcom's previous fighting games in the Marvel Comics franchise, X-Men: Children of the Atom and Marvel Super Heroes.
X-Men vs. Street Fighter uses a system similar to the style developed in Marvel Super Heroes, and adds the tag team gameplay feature. Instead of the usual best-two-out-of-three round format, the game's matches consist of two-on-two battles between tag teams. The player controls one character at a time, while the other awaits off-screen.
The X-Men characters come largely unchanged from X-Men: Children of the Atom and Marvel Super Heroes, with some exceptions. The Street Fighter characters uses their Street Fighter Alpha 2 forms and their moves.
