ENTER THE MUTANTS: Ken Legacy -X-Men Vs. Street Fighter '96 PSOne

[@S_Boomer98]

Goodness, the amount of frames Juggernaut does not have is hilarious.

[@johnoneil9188]

Akuma and Wolverine. Just think of those super long emotionally charged conversations those two are not having because they spend most of the time scowling at and fighting things.

[@xxnike0629xx]

The PSone ports of the "vs" games was just trash. But watching this, I don't think I remember the game looking so bad. This is evidence why we need a collection on PS4 with (at least): - X-men vs. Street Fighter - Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter - Marvel vs. Capcom - Marvel vs. Capcom 2 - Capcom vs. SNK Pro - Capcom vs. SNK 2

I love how Shinryuken looks way more badass and destructive in this 2D iteration of the SF series than in SFV.

[@marccaselle8108]

It's all those missing frames of animation. 🤣

[@orlanzo2621]

You talk about a game that disappointed me as a kid, here we go. I was absolutely in love with the arcade version, it was mind blowing at the time to see the X men and Street Fighters go at it and i had never seen a tag team fighter before. I waited a long time for a home port and we finally got one two years later in 1998...and THIS was it, sigh. Tons of frames of animation missing, slowdown, and worst of all NO tag teams.

[@ultimateman55]

Ah the original Vs. game. I absolutely loved this game in the arcades. I have a Saturn now with a burned copy of this game and I still play it often. Good times!

[@Mister_Prime]

There is a tag mode in ps1 version. It's a code you had to put that could only be played in Vs mode and it was a mirror match. For example P1 would pick Ken and Ryu, and P2 would pick Ryu and Ken and that would be the tag match. It wasn't the best, but it made the game a whole lot better when playing with your friends.

I died when cyclops threw his jacket and it didnt even animate loool.. I had the Japanese Saturn version.. you had to boot it up with a Japanese converter cartridge, then during the loading you had like a 2 second window to swap in the RAM cart.. had a ton of fighters on Saturn

[@brandonwilliams6119]

Capcom needs to make another Compilation Game of the Vs series starting with Children of the Atom onward. Preferably the Arcade Versions of each game. And release them on Modern Systems. They did it with the 30th Anniversary Collection the Vs series shouldn’t be a problem.

They just need to add it to the Switch. Instant money maker right there.

These sprites are timeless to me! Despite the hardware limitations, games like this from Capcom will always hold a special place in my heart! ♥️♥️♥️😍

[@alexojideagu]

The PS1 was actually more powerful than the arcade. The problem was the CD storage was too slow and there was not enough Ram to hold the data. (The Saturn runs perfectly with the 4Mb memory add on). If the PS1 was a cartridge system it would have run this perfectly.

[@sankyubi1786]

The psone port of this game makes me extremely angry. Seriously, loading for the victory screen?

[@JaydenPixelsTV]

Yea the ps1 had limited ram data compared to the saturn.

@@dnmstarsi Yeah, Sonic 06 is shit, and I've played it. Just wish this port could've been more optimized. But I'm not a developer for the PS1 so what do I know?

[@dnmstarsi]

@@sankyubi1786 Well blame Sony or whoever thought this was a good idea. Lack of RAM or whatever is what caused this 1v1, long time loading for 1998 standards, and lame temporary 2v2 battle system. Maybe they tried but limitations. Too bad the Saturn versions were Japan exclusive...

I can’t believe I imported Xmen vs Street Fighter EX back in 1998 after I imported Xmen vs Street Fighter for Sega Saturn in late 1997. I just wanted to see how it turned out and I made a big mistake.

[@allens.6085]

it took me by surprise that the character select theme is a remix of Cutsman's theme

[@damiangallo4185]

Something good with this version is that you can actually cancel special moves into hyper combos, and you can even cancel hyper combos into another hyper combos, example, if you had 3 bars with gambit you could perform 3 royal flush hyper in the same combo, 99 hits, and it deal like 90% of damage

[@ProjectDelta1]

The artwork is awesome.

[@DenkyManner]

I imported the Japanese version for Saturn (it came with the cart in the box). It's a very bare bones reproduction of the arcade but that was enough for me back then. Nothing like that had ever been seen at home. Hard to get that across, it was like a miracle seeing it on my TV.

[@michelvanderlinden8363]

That console seems like a hybrid between X-box, Playstation, and a Super Nintendo. The controller as they laid it down is definitely a snes controller, the one they held was a saturn one. Ken owns a mutated Omni-System that can bend the fabric of the universe around it it seems.

[@HippieGang2050]

I agree but on the arcade machine version you could tag out and when one person dies you can still fight until you ko

[@harleyspawn]

What I can't figure out is why the Saturn version of this game was so great and smooth, but Symphony of the Night runs better on the PS1 than on the Saturn. And yes, I had to import those games in the 90's, with a 4MB cartridge.

[@AnthrKira]

i don´t know too much , but , maybe its because the saturn was a console capable of run arcade games better since it was one of his features , having a lot of arcade ports of those games. however , i think also one of his problems was that it was quite difficult for game developers to make games in the saturn due to having multiple processors (or something like that , im sorry if im wrong or talking nonsense , its just what i read while searching for consoles ). ps1 was more easier to create them since had less things but in quality the saturn was superior. it wasn´t until the dreamcast where the consoles were able to handle arcade games or were surpassing them .

[@Darknight0681]

SoTN was a PS1 port where ALL of the graphics were made using the 3D GPU and around its fillrate. Saturn doesn’t work like a PS1, therefore when stuff was brought over nearly 1:1, it brought the thing to its knees. Now if they actually reworked the entire game from the bottom up it would’ve been a lot better of a title. Granted it wouldn’t have probably had any of the fancy 3D effects, especially the gouraud shaded shadows, but it would’ve probably had its own effects work.

[@Chadius]

Saturn is GREAT at 2D, but SUCKS at 3D. SotN is a 3D game with sprites, while X-Men vs Street Fighter is 2D.

[@Darknight0681]

Chad Serrant Technically, SOTN does not use actual sprites. No PS1 game OR Saturn title does. Saturn uses flat quads, PS1 uses flat textured polygons. And it’s really obvious on PS1 when you see how certain character animations on here are just shifted and rotating texture parts in order to get around actually having to hold yet another actual animation frame in memory. Juggernaut was one of the biggest offenders with this. Gambits coat was another.

[@Dre_aka_sleepysandman]
