Retro fridays and xmen vs street fighter

Just like the title says, xmen vs street fighter is a fighting game made by capcom in 1996. It features characters from the xmen such as cyclops,wolverine,rogue,storm,sabretooth and others competing against ryu,ken,zangief,m.bison and sf vets.

It's main innovation is the tag team gameplay. You pick 2 characters and you can tag in any time just like in a wwe match. To win the battle you have to kill both opponent characters and vice versa.

Everything in this game is exaggerated such as the 15 hit combos and the giant fireballs and the super jumps and the screen filling super moves. I actually like this gameplay compared to the one in street fighter 2.

My favorite characters are wolverine and cyclops simply because of how dominant both can be and how easy it is to do multi hit combos.

The final boss is apocalypse who does a mmpr monster and grows and grows, he fills the whole screen but luckily he has 2 weak spots. His head and his arm so he isn't too hard. However he has one deadly weapon in his arm. He can turn it into a drill that can easily kill you even if your at full health and you block all of it.

The gameplay is tight and the game is worth playing or at least the arcade version is as the ps1 version get's rid of the tag team concept.
