Capcom's crossover series first took the Marvel vs. Capcom name with this 1998 CPS-2 arcade game, which reached the Dreamcast in 1999. It pairs two-character tag teams in fast air combos, mixing Marvel heroes such as Spider-Man, Wolverine, Captain America, Hulk and Venom with Capcom fighters including Ryu, Chun-Li, Strider Hiryu, Morrigan, Captain Commando, Jin from Cyberbots and Mega Man in his first fighting game role.
Beyond tag teams, each team also gets a randomly chosen Special Partner, a character who appears only briefly to perform an assist attack, from Juggernaut and Storm to the Unknown Soldier and Arthur from Ghosts 'n Goblins. Duo Team Attacks let both team members perform supers together. The Dreamcast port added a mode called Cross Fever that let four players control both characters on each team at once. The 2000 sequel moved to three-character teams, but this game set up its style.
Tips for Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes
Select a Special Partner manually by learning their position in the random select order, or simply favor characters that cover weak areas.
Tag out characters with low health before they're knocked out; red health partially recovers while resting.
Launch an opponent upward and follow with a super jump to start air combos.
