Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now: Video Game Boy- XMen vs Street Fighter

I love Marvel vs. Capcom, the Marvel Superheroes fight game and even Xmen Children of the Atom.

However the one I played the most when I was still a little shit of a boy was Xmen vs Street Fighter, one of the first crossover games between two super popular franchises. Okay fine I still play it as often as I can, there are at least two Xmen vs. Streetfighter arcade machines in my city.

what is an emulator?

There are many reasons why I would kick a walrus in its teeth to play this game. I will list them in no obvious order.

The Juggernaut

Im'ma punch yo dick

Look at this Bastard. Although not as powerful as in previous games he appeared in, he’s still UNSTOPPABLE. He takes up half the screen when performing even a simple low punch. The Juggernaut should be in every video game. His fist is the size of a small island and cools the planet with each swipe. When he does his supermove- the Juggernaut head butt, butterflies in other countries are swayed off course and slam into flower petals, pregnant spiders explode and male models turn left instead of right.

Playing with the juggernaut is useful for first time players, because of his long reach high impact, and all round bigness.

Puny man go flying

The Juggernaut is bloody cool. Not the Vinnie Jones version though.

Tag Team Play

Xmen vs Street Fighter added tag team play instead of the two round one-on-one combat as found in Marvel Super Heroes. So even if you picked the Juggernaut all the time, you still had to select a decent partner to pick up the slack if you were the boastful kid in the arcade who challenged all comers, but another gamer knew how to block like a hot girl’s friends in a nightclub.

That’s fine because in the roster were cool peeps like Magneto (also powered down in this game), Wolverine, Ryu, Ken, Sabretooth, Cyclops and Zangief.

Go team go!

Dhalsim

Dhalsim is one of the most stereotypical characters in gaming. Look at this bullshit:

He’s meant to be a yoga master or some nonsense, but honestly, was there a need to add pseudo-hindi babbling to his victory dance in this game?And talking about the victory dance:

Not stereotypical at all

But still hes cool because: Yoga fire, Yoga fire, Yoga Flaaaaame

Mmm baby turn up the heat, my arms and legs aren't the only things that stretch

The Final Boss: Apocalypse

Apocalypse is big, blue and can turn his hands into huge drills. Although he won’t mess up your shit as bad as Onslaught in Marvel Super Heroes vs, Capcom, Cyber Akuma in Marvel Super Heroes vs Streetfighter or even Galactus in Marvel Combat vs Capcom 3, he was terrifying to little children. And when you defeat him the just lies in a melted puddle of goo while you wipe your sweaty palms and slurp up slushie.

Good Morning, do you have some time to hear about our lord and savior, Shuma-Gorath?

you ain't shit

Xmen Animated Series Rogue.

My favourite incarnation of Rogue as a playable character. Is able to kiss opponents and steal one of their special moves. Rogue is my special friend in my mind. Aah the Red Hair.
