Before Marvel vs. Capcom there was this: Capcom's first fighting game built on the Marvel license, released in arcades in 1994. It introduced ideas that shaped the publisher's later crossover games, including huge super jumps, air combos, and a meter that powers flashy super moves. Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, Psylocke, Iceman and Colossus face Sentinel, Omega Red, Spiral and Silver Samurai, with Juggernaut and Magneto waiting as bosses. Akuma from Street Fighter also turns up as a hidden fighter, the first hint of the crossovers that followed.
The Saturn port was widely praised as one of the most faithful home versions of a Capcom arcade game at the time, keeping the large sprites and most of the animation. The Saturn's strength with 2D sprites made it a good fit, and the later PlayStation release is generally regarded as the weaker conversion. Each character's moves map onto Capcom's familiar six-button scheme, so Street Fighter players adapt quickly.
Tips for X-Men: Children of the Atom
Fill the super meter by attacking, then spend it on X-Power moves; Cyclops's Mega Optic Blast and Wolverine's Berserker Barrage both do heavy damage.
Super jumps (down, then up) are essential against Sentinel and Juggernaut, who control the ground with long-range attacks.
Air combos launched from a standing heavy attack deal more damage than most ground strings.
