Great port of the arcade

I have to say that this game is a pretty good game, after playing the arcade version of the game this version really falls why? cuz of the tag feature it's missing it and the characters dont have all the frames like the arcade version, also another thing i notice is that your health bar decreases alot when your opponent even hits you with light punches specially when they hit you with a hyper combo you will die instantly.Then there is the damn loading times good thing is that they dont take too long and you can skip them by pressing start after you finish the fight in single player, So what made this game really great (in my opinion) was really the tag feature becuase it added alot of stradegy but here in the playstation version it lacks it, however there is a crossover mode which does bring the tag feature in this mode but the problem is that your opponents are going to have to be mirrior to your characters,why is that? becuase the playstation does not have enough RAM so capcom instead put this crossover mode and you can play tag in this mode just that only mirrior characters of the ones you picked.The music in the game is very true to the arcade but the sound effect sound so tinny at times very low quality compare to the crystal clear crisp sounds of the arcade.Controls work great with the game because psx controllers always work great in 2D fighters so i have no problem with the controls.Graphics look great they look like they did in the arcade version but they are characters are missing frames like some of the fire effects look somewhat pixalated and dont look as good like in the arcade.Overall i think this game it's still fun to play on it's own even without tag feature but if you like the arcade soo much it will dissapoint i give this game a 8.0

Classic, collectilble, and Fun!!

I pumped quarters like a gaming fool into this game at the arcade. With this game I got all my money back and then some. Still fun with bonus hidden characters!

A Quality Playstation port of the arcade

Don't listen to most bashing this game,most are only doing so because they are trying to compare this title Nose-to-nose with the perfect arcade and dreamcast versions.Indeed this version cannot compete with those but its still a decent conversion and a TRUE feat of the Playstation hardware,considering its limited abilities due to lack of RAM.

Flashback to around 98' with the release of X-Men Vs StreetFighter for the PSOne,indeed it was'ent too great.Nevermind the lack of tag team the characters also had a limited amount of animation and there was slowdown.The title was still very playable but they could've done much better.

Since then Capcom learned their lesson and fine-tuned the PSOne to run such games smoothly.Marvel SuperHeroes Vs StreetFighter was an especially nice port and so is MvC.

The graphics are colorful and flashy with most of the backgrounds and effects during supermoves retaining much of their animation.The characters themselves look great and are also given a nice amount of animation.The gameplay is Fast and fun with little to no slowdown of any kind,even during screen filling supermoves.

Had the game retained true tag-team play this title would definitly be a winner as the graphics and action are all Excellent.But unfortunitly even the best game developers can only do so much with the systems limited RAM.As in Previous Vs games the main battle mode only allows 1-on-1 fighting.Though its still very fun for those who can look past the tagteam gameplay.

However there is crossover mode-Which allows Tagteam gameplay with the only difference being that you have to choose the same two characters as the CPU.It can get old fighting mirror versions of your two fighters but the mode otherwise replicates the Arcade versions gameplay very well.

While its no substitute,this version actually contains features not found in the otherwise Perfect dreamcast version.The PSX port allows you to play as Onslaught in both normal and giant forms! Very cool. The game also lets you save and view character endings for later and there is a section that allows you to view and get a good look at each of the special partner characters like Authur and Unknown Soldier.

Overall Marvel Vs Capcom for the PSOne,is a polished,Nice-Quality port retaining about 85% of the Arcade version.If you have a dreamcast you obviously won't want to bother with this port but if you don't have a DC and own a Playstation/PS2,this game is still a fine substitute.

Awesome

If you've played any of Capcom's 2D fighter CPS2-to-PlayStation conversions lately, then you already know what to expect from the PlayStation version of Marvel vs. Capcom. While the arcade (and, subsequently, the arcade-perfect Dreamcast conversion) supplied a four-fighter tag-team battle, the PlayStation's RAM limitation limits the battle to two fighters. Also, many frames of animation have been chopped out, particularly those for larger characters. Marvel vs. Capcom is the latest incarnation of Capcom's Street Fighter vs. series. But here, instead of limiting the characters to X-Men or Street Fighters, Capcom has taken characters from all over the Marvel and Capcom universes. Marvel is represented by new additions like Venom and Onslaught, as well as fighting-game veterans like Spider-Man, Captain America, and Wolverine. Capcom's lineup includes Street Fighters Ryu, Chun Li, and Zangief, but also nonfighting characters like Captain Commando, Strider Hiryu, and Mega Man. The result is an ultimate (albeit a bit condensed) lineup of fighters from all over the place. This cross section of comic-book heroes and video-game characters gives the game a truly new and diverse feel, even if the gameplay hasn't changed too much since the last Capcom vs. fighting game, Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter.
Some remnants of the tag battle remain. You still select a second character, but that character's only influence on the battle is in the form of short, special attacks. The arcade game actually had you select three fighters, one of whom served as a helper character that you could call on at any time for a quick attack. Now, you select your main fighter and then choose if you want one of these helpers, or a second normal fighter that will join up with you and perform team super combos, should you issue the command to do so. To make up for the loss of the tag action, the ability to link multiple super combos has been added. This lets you really rack up the multihit combos and do a lot of damage to your opponent, to boot. Graphically, the game really doesn't look too bad, taking into consideration the limitations of the hardware. The game is colorful, and the backgrounds are nice. New to the PlayStation version is a quick zoom that occurs during throws. This is a little disorienting, and the characters get pretty pixelated up close as well. The audio portion of the game is troublesome. Everything sounds extremely tinny, and the trebley sound and music will get on your nerves almost immediately.If you're looking for the arcade version, you really need to go to an arcade or pick up the Dreamcast version. The PlayStation version may have the same moves as the original game, but the shell surrounding those moves is completely different. Rent this one first.

Old, but awesome

If you're going to waste your life playing 2-d fighting games, and can't find Marvel vs Capcom 2, waste your life on this game. It rocks.

Good ,but I think CapCom only considered PSX for the $$!

Summery - Ok, there is no Tag feature, this is still a truly awsome game(Although TAGGING was the whole point of the game) but heck, I love it, besides their is Cross Over mode right(Not my mode of choice, but it's there, right). It is a Great game to play with the kids since their is absolutly NO blood, and they can actualy get away with smashing buttons, even though I don't let anyone do it unless they bring thier own controller(NO way I spend my own 20 bucks to get my controllers screwd up). It is a great way to show off you'r skillz(*I misspell alot of things for fun that doesn't mean I don't know how to spell*), cream you'r friends like corn, and beat them like a drum. Plus, it is a great way to kill time whilst having alot of fun!

I'm now going to go into a brief discription followed by a score from 1.0 to 5.0 on each part of the game!

Gameplay: Pretty good, just a little slow down when more than 3 characters are on the screen at one time, otherwize plays farely well, not as good as the DC or Arcade versionds but very close! 4.7

Graphics: To me, ALMOST flawless with good anamation, had it not been for variouse cut out frames. Better than X-Men Vs. Street Fighter and Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter but still nothing special! 4.3

Sound: Wonderfull! Music is cool and voices match perfectly, people say that Mega Man sounds like a girl from Sailer Moon or Tenchi Muyo, but I think the voice is perfectly matched! 5.0

Overall Translation to the PSX: ALMOST arcade perfected had it not have been for no Tagging abbilities, bad graphics, slowdown, and long loading time, but please realise that The Sony Playstation has limited capabilaty due to the 2MB of RAM that it has, if it had 3 or 4 it might have been able to have Tekken Tag on it(Hey, it was worth a try, right)
The only thing that bugs me is the INSANE loading time, and the slowdown when their are more than 2 characters on the screen, but they are not too noticeable, not much to care about at all! 4.5

All in All having TWENTY-TWO characters, and having an 78% out of 100% arcade perfect translation(Getting pretty "Technical" now!(HaHa)), Their are only 2 things for me to say: 1-This Game Rules, and 2-It Is Fun To Play, With A Fun Factor Of 9.2 Out Of 10 Marvel Vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes is alright if you don't have a DreamCast, but if you do, don't bother with the PSX version, and see my DC review for a 5 rating! If not get the PSX
version, take my word for it, I have the PSX version and I love it!

pretty tight

I'm a big time 2D fighting veteran and I can tell which fighter is worth playing all over and which is worth ditching. Marvel VS Capcom for the PlayStation is an example of one of those 2D fighters that needs to be ditched. But don't get me wrong ! I actually liked the game...on the Dreamcast and arcade. The PlayStation version of Marvel VS Capcom is just swarming with a whole lot of flaws. Trust me ! This is not arcade perfect ! Most of the times, arcade translations that go to the PlayStation come out imperfect like this one. The graphics are just horrible ! Sure the characters and stages look colorful, but if you pay attention to the framerates of the animations, you'll notice that the characters don't move smoothly or move faster. The audio, sounds great. Music tracks and sound effects are brilliant, but nothing special at all. And as for the gameplay, just horrible. And the lack of a tag feature ? Now this is really going overboard ! Just like in Marvel Super Heroes VS Street Fighter for the PlayStation, you have to call up your character to do a one-hit special move. If you want the tag feature, you'll have use the cross over mode, but this feature doesn't emulate the tag features on the superior arcade and Dreamcast versions. The controls could've been slicker, but instead, it ended up choppy. It seems that the PlayStation controller was not meant for great games like this. All in all, the PSX version of Marvel VS Capcom is a big letdown. Choppy animation, choppy controls, lack of a tag feature, and long loading times during the beginning of each fight really makes this game look like a zero. If you want the real Marvel VS Capcom experience, I'd say buy the Dreamcast version of Marvel VS Capcom or spare a few quarters or tokens to play the arcade version. The DC version of Marvel VS Capcom featured flawless animations, awesome graphics, hyper fast controls, no loading times, and a tag feature. Now that's an arcade perfect translation of one of the best 2D arcade fighters of all time ! The DC version is definently worth the money and worth your time ! Please ! Whatever you do, avoid the PSX version ! This version of Marvel VS Capcom is a disgrace to Capcom's ever expanding lineup of 2D fighters ! Not really something to use your money on !
