Episode Notes:
1. Captured on real hardware.
2. Arcade footage uses MAME.
3. I still consider this the best home version of this game.
4. Opening monologue music is from Marvel Super Heroes. Closing monologue music is from Street Fighter Zero 3.
5. Bernie Stolar did not kill the Saturn, but he definitely fucked over the people that supported it.
6. I always felt the Saturn could have done a great version of Marvel vs. Capcom.

[@user-dv2hc8zt3o]

This was the Saturn game that literally everyone imported 😆

[@besotoxicomusic]

My third import after FirePro 6 Man Scramble and AJPW feat Virtua.

[@Leoj305]

My first import was DBZ Legends. Boy, did it take me a while to figure out how to play that game.

[@jeremygregorio7472]

To this day it's still fairly common, even with the crazy retro price is I think it's topped out at around $100 with card and I've seen it sold for a 60 to 80

[@OreoChimp]

FACTS!!!!!!

[@guyzero32k4]

So true.

[@XxDevilXNeverXCryxX]

This game was one of the reasons why I loved my Sega Saturn when it came out. I remember everyone would come over to my place after school to play since I was the only kid in my neighborhood to have a Saturn and this game with a 4MB Action Replay. So much nostalgia with this game and so many memories. Thanks for bringing up how broken this game is which is on another level of fun for those who know how to do those type of inputs.

[@user-dv2hc8zt3o]

You must've been really spoiled if you owned an import of this back in the day.

[@XxDevilXNeverXCryxX]

@@user-dv2hc8zt3o Not really, my father was big into fighting games back then and we had a spot that would import it for us. Nothing crazy but was blessed to be the few to play this version so early.

[@tonberrymasta]

I remember getting my Saturn modded way back when just so I can play this game. It was so incredible, like owning the arcade game at home. It was a lot of money at the time, but Marvel Super Heroes vs. SF, Pocket Fighter, and Vampire Savior after that made it totally worth it. The Saturn was THE system for Capcom fighting games late in its life.

[@Hektols]

And then Capcom continued with the Dreamcast, both 2D and 3D fighters and other genres.

[@greyfox1127]

It was this game for me too that got me to get my machine modded - never looked back!

[@briantaylorcloe7725]

Saturn is THEE system . On period.

[@StormsparkPegasus]

I already had a modded Saturn for other games (particularly Shining Force), because almost none of the good games came to the US. This is one of the ones I imported though. I still have my fairly sizeable stack of Saturn imports. I don't have any real way to hook the system up right now (without further mods) because my A/V setup is digital-only now, HDMI/Displayport only, doesn't even support analog audio. I know I could use a converter box, but that introduces analog noise and generally makes it look like garbage on a 1080p monitor. The only really coveted Saturn game that I was never able to import (due to cost) was Radiant Silvergun. Fortunately these days it's super easy to emulate. I wish Treasure would just go ahead and release it on the Switch, they've re-released Ikaruga about 100 times, how hard can it be?

[@AVENTUS03]

It’s amazing that Pocket Fighter didn’t also get a Dreamcast port. I think Pocket Fighter had so much more potential as a series than Capcom imagined.

[@krono5el]

This game is still god tier to me, absolutely unforgettable gaming times.

[@R0n1n760]

I remember seeing these at game stores back in the day in the 90s. I still remember buying this game, Marvel vs Capcom, and Marvel vs Street Fighter. All for the PS1 then but being all I knew, deff still enjoyed them :)

[@krono5el]

@@R0n1n760 all amazing games : D

[@nicholasadamson2103]

Same.

[@MidnyteBlaze]

I remember walking into a mall arcade and my jaw DROPPED. I already an X-Men fan, but seeing them bomb-ass air fighting and giant anime beams blew me away and every since i became fascinated by Fighting games and have been playing them ever since!

[@tgonzalez1983]

I remember going to Waldens software and seeing this with the conversion cart. I didn’t hesitate to buy it and give it a go. My friends jaws dropped when they saw how arcade accurate it was. The port on my Saturn got beaten up so much by how many times this game got played. Such a fantastic time to be a gamer. The controls, sound, & graphics were unmatched. Loved it & still have it

[@Ashura96]

X-Men vs. Street Fighter is one of those games you just vividly remember seeing and experiencing for the first time ever. Man if I had known how easy it was to play import games on a Saturn in the late 90's AND that some retailers actually sold the game domestically (never knew this until now) I would have easily spent my saved up allowance money on a Saturn instead of a PlayStation.

[@visionop8]

It's so funny because it was a two-edged sword. I grew up with a Saturn and I was aware of the import games, Blockbuster Games carried a lot of them and you can barely find info on Google about those game stores anymore. I had things like this game and Marvel Super Heroes VS Street Fighter, Groove on Fight and lots of others but I missed out on games like Crash Bandicoot, Tomb Raider 2 and 3, Resident Evil 2 and 3 (didn't play those until the Dreamcast) Metal Gear, Gran Turismo, Tekken, Parasite Eve and countless others that are either still being made or are considered classics. It was a really weird console exclusive era for sure.

[@greenkoopa]

I had Mvc2 on the Dreamcast, never owned a Saturn

[@Hektols]

@@visionop8 However at the end it became easier to play the PSX exclusives later due to retrocompatibility and easier emulation than with Saturn exclusives.

[@visionop8]

@@Hektols No doubt. The Saturn is pretty tough for emulation. I play all my original games on my Saturn that I've had since I was 15.

Facts

[@TheTOShow1]

I bought a Saturn earlier this year specifically so I could play this game. I was playing X-Men vs SF this morning and I just stumbled across this video. Amazing game that brings back memories of my time in the arcades when I was a kid. Thanks for the video!

[@xylsky1300]

I remember going to a restaurant literally a minute walking distance to play xmen vs street fighter. One day i was trying to decide who i should use since my favorites were cyclops and ken. My hand went too high to click on magneto and the akuma character was hidden by just hitting up past the top row. I remember it because a high school kid that worked there usually played it on his break and he was like "hey, how did you do that!?" And i told him i accidentally scrolled too high and after i was done he plopped a quarter in and started to play away. Lol that is a memory as a kid i always remember when i hear this game

[@ButterfingerBB]

Now thats awesome

[@Hektols]

At that times lots of people used to point that 2D games were outdated and less advanced that 3D ones, it was fun to see how they couldn't explain why the PSX had such a ba port of this game while the Saturn had a perfect one after getting an upgrade.

[@LobsterPuncher]

I was a hardcore X Men and Street Fighter fan, so when I saw this in arcades I lost it. I was so excited when I finally bought it and could play it at home... On the PlayStation. I still remember the disappointed when I realized how neutered it was.

[@NewportBox100s]

One of the greatest games of all time. Never gets old.

[@darianflewellen2449]

I'll never forget playing this in the arcade. I wasn't fortunate enough to own a Saturn back in the day but I've got one now and this game. It's just how I remembered it all those years ago, arcade perfect as well. The memories man

[@brianc6196]

Thanks Sega Lord X for another informative, in depth video, reviewing my favorite 2D fighter on the Saturn and one of the reasons I got the system. I recall fondly the excitement when UPS delivered the game & 4M RAM card; I played it all day and called off work the next day to play it with a friend non-stop! The 1st "arcade perfect" or better than(IMHO) home conversion I remember, Fun fact: in the settings, after beating the game, you could increase or decrease the speed, improve the sound (clearer effects) and even have 4 Juggernauts duking it out! What an amazing upgrade the extra 4 mb of RAM made! I can't help but wonder how it could've help Sega if it could've been used to improve 3D games as well (improve framerates, eliminate slowdown, loading, etc.) and came out earlier, in the US too! Oh what could have been and if Sega hadn't focused time, effort and money on the Sega CD and 32X, but that's a whole other topic.

[@gc3k]

A 4x Juggernaut match was a 2d showpiece for the Saturn in the 90s, other consoles at the time would have melted down trying to pull that off

[@BrotherBatch]

X-Men vs. Street Fighter, everybody......one of the reasons to own a Sega Saturn! Even up to now, the game still holds up...the graphics, the look, the presentation, 'the nod to the animated series' with the voiceovers....*nostalgia flashback to the good times* dammit, I need to have a go at it now! Good review, SLX!

[@Throbingkcoc]

I recently bought the Arcade1up version of XMen vs Street Fighter. Such an addicting game.

[@brandonfarfan1978]

Dude, this game is da boss! Anytime I hear saturn, I immediately remember this game and VF. I played X-men vs. Street Fighter, alot in the arcades when I was small. People who had this game, and Marvel Superheroes vs. Street Fighter on saturn, were really blessed. Both were heavily imported in the Caribbean. Saturn and dreamcast, were always the competitive fighting gamers consoles. Out of all the marvel and capcom crossover games, X-men vs. Street Fighter was interestingly, always the preferred top tier game.👍😄

[@TheCodeAlwaysWins]

Yes! This game was the best console experience for any 2D fighting game for years on Saturn. For anyone who doesn't know, there is really good online play in the US with the new Arcade1Up X-Men vs Street Fighter machines. Hope to catch some of you there 🥋

[@tech-ryze]

Good! Marvellous!

[@wg8561]

Got mine hooked up to a D20 bvm. It looks incredible. I love the saturn and dreamcast for fighters. Also got the arcade 1up just because it looks so cool.

[@Aragorn7884]

Blew my mind with the 'attract mode' in the Arcade growing up 🤯

[@constantinelheman]

Back then I could not stop playing this game. It was so incredible to play this game on the Saturn because it is arcade perfect port. Little to no loading time if I recall correctly - which blew my mind at that time.

[@IsaacKuo]

Our anime club had access to a humongous movie theater video projector room, and we hooked up a modded Saturn (to deal with region lock). We had so much fun with X-Men vs Streetfighter, Marvel vs Streetfighter, Vampire Savior, D&D, and such ...

[@HoroJoga]

I had the EX version on the PS1 back in the day. My family couldn't afford much for me, but they've managed to give me a PS1 with a handful of (pirate, of course) games, and this was the one I used to play most of the time. I know that version wasn't good, but for a 8 year old kid like me, it was a blast. I still think to this day that this game right here has the best soundtrack of all games ever. No joke. It's so nostalgic to me that I found myself listening to it while working or in the gym. Thanks for this review. Now I need to plug my recent bought Saturn to play it again =)

[@abramwalker882]

Finally another person who had the PSX version growing up. I grew up in rural Ohio and NC, no arcades to speak of. When I got older and found out this was an arcade game that also had TAG TEAM BATTLES, to say I was shocked is an understatement lol.

[@CouncilEstatePopMusic]

Beautiful. Thanks for your time and uploads SLX Always a joy to watch. 👍🇬🇧👍

[@TiGerSushX]

Quality content 🙏 with SF Alpha 3 in ending credits 👌🔥

[@pokepress]

It’s interesting that crossovers work so well in video games, despite their reputation in other media as severely corny.

[@ralph4lyf]

Omg!! This takes me back. my older brother in the mid 90s order the st key and X-Men vs Street Fighter import that came with the 4 meg ram card. It was hard to boot it up very tricky but man oh man when I saw this on my tv I thought I was in the arcades ..amazing.

[@kakamesh]

Loved this game! Played this so much and still play it on my own arcade. Love that you can continue to beat up the loser if you press start after the victory.....

[@briantaylorcloe7725]

Great memories!! I saw my uncle do that in the arcade playing this - When we got home, I fiddled around with X-Men CotA to try to figure out how to do that. I was able to do that, and would anger my brother & friends who were quite surprised that I was doing that to them after matches! ( Was able to keep it to myself for a while til eventually shared with them ) Then that of course led to Psylocke's taunt & Storm's Hail Storm

[@J1R629]

The home port of X-Men vs Street Fighter is low key one of the most important home console games of the 90’s. On the surface, it seems like it’s just another great fighting game on the Saturn, but it’s actually more than that. It was the first instance of a arcade port matching the arcade feel in every way. It was an absolute achievement as it was a 100% replica of almost having the arcade machine in your home and the first sign that the home consoles would overtake the arcade. As someone who lived during that period, this was one of the most desired games as it was covered in every game magazine.

[@esmooth919]

1:11 I agree. That was the main reason I got a Saturn. I was visiting my cousins in Florida, and they were playing Street Fighter Alpha on their PlayStation, but the controller was just like the SNES controller, and I didn't like it for fighting games at the time. I eventually got used to it when I had no choice, but the Saturn ports of my favorite Street Fighter series were nigh pixel perfect, save for the loading times. Alpha 2 unfortunately suffered from sound compression, making some sound effects sound muffled. When I heard about X-Men vs Street Fighter for the Saturn, I wanted very badly to get my hands on it, but the price to import that game, plus the ram cart, was _astronomical_ for a middle-schooler like me! It probably costs even more now!

[@coryrabbit]

Please don't stop doing what you're doing. I always love seeing your videos in my notifications.

[@joshuah5542]

Been waiting for this vid for some time. You nailed it per usual!

[@OldtradesReviews]

I still play this on my Saturn from time to time.

[@mattb6522]

This game was so incredible! Capcom proved the Saturn was a 2D powerhouse with this near-perfect arcade conversion. I remember back in the late 90's, a local game store had imported copies of this game with the 4 MB cart and had set up at little kiosks for people to try it out. I was blown away by how fast and colorful this game was and couldn't believe it was running on a home console! Unfortunately, I didn't have a Saturn at the time, so I just had to drool over it at the store. 😓

[@curtiswilson4737]

Play it on the original PlayStation, and you'll shoot yourself on how horrible and slow it played!

[@mattb6522]

@@curtiswilson4737 Yeah, I heard the Playstation version was really a botched port of the game. That really is a shame, too! Oh well. I'm guessing Capcom ran into hardware or memory issues when trying to port the game to the Playstation.

[@ravagingwolverine]

@@mattb6522 Definitely memory issues for the PS1. It already had a tad less memory than the Saturn, and memory was the biggest limiting factor for both machines in their time. Tag fighters, especially were tough for PS1. Traditional one-on-one fighters PS1 could do pretty well. As for Saturn, I wonder how much memory they would have needed to port Street Fighter 3. The Saturn is more powerful than the CPS3 hardware, so it would come down to memory unless I'm missing something. Oh well.

[@chuchin420]

@@ravagingwolverine I’m sure that if sega would’ve wanted to released this game in the US along with the other great capcom and snk games and saw that they were a comercial success, there’s no doubt that street fighter 3 would’ve found its way to the Saturn.

[@rayfincham1595]

I loved this game along with all of the other capcom fighters that graced the Saturn. I still have them all with the action replay card. If there was one thing that Sega did right with the Saturn it was letting capcom do these wonderful ports.

[@Launchpad05]

Adding the 'Street Fighter Alpha 3' end credits music was a nice touch. Also, I noticed that the character pictured near the health bars are positioned differently on the Saturn version compared to the arcade version due to the Saturn ports aspect ratio.

[@lukasmusil8714]

2D fighters were my main reason for buying Saturn. I'm mainly a "Nintendo guy," but Saturn is a great console. It's now in my top 3 fav consoles (together with SNES/SFC and GameCube). Saturn has a good build quality and robust design, like quickly replacing the battery for RTC(and memory)... GameCube in next-generation has battery soldered to the board, which is poor. Great companion for mostly 3D games on N64 :) If you do marketing for Saturn in the 90s, I believe Sega outsold Nintendo in the entire world. :D

[@UsTheMusicTVOfficial]

Well done, this is one of my favorite games on the Saturn. These types of games clearly show cased what the Saturn was REALLY capable of. Too bad they weren't all as good quality as this one.

[@Aaron_Somers]

I am currently massively obsessed with all the 90s 2D sprite based fighters, especially CAPCOM. Living through this at the time we didn't realise how timeless these games would become. Thanks for the video 👍

[@TheJoeDavis]

This and Saturn Bomberman are the two games that my buddies and i will still play after 25+yrs. Simply amazing how arcade perfect xmen vs sf was. Long live the saturn!

[@terranceoliver8935]

Ahhh Saturn Bomberman, I would love to play that now days with a glass of whiskey since I'm an adult now lol

[@blackishjustin]

This brought back some swell memories. I remember my brother getting this game with the 4MB RAM and adapter to play, and it just totally blew my mind to play an import game like that. I previously tried to play it on the PlayStation, but it was just total garbage compared to the arcade. Awesome video, SLX!

[@hanner18ify]

Love the reviews, keep them coming. Thank you

[@Rei_Tatekei]

Saturn OWNS PlayStation in fighters and yes that includes Tekken!

[@PN_Guinn]

I graduated catholic school in 1998 and got more money than ever before. A lot of it was dumped into buying this game, a 4-in-1 cart and Dragon Ball Z: The Great Dragon Ball Legend from EB in the mall. Zero regrets - this game is still an all-time favorite.

[@MasaCheez]

Awesome vid. Thanks SLX!

[@Ashfold_Eberesche]

Honestly, I don't even like fighting games very much but I'm watching this because I just love listening to you talk about Sega and retro gaming. Hearing someone who was an active gamer and Sega supporter back during that era is fascinating. I was just a kid during the early days of the Saturn and while I had my trusty Mega Drive growing up and access to my cousin's SNES occasionally, the 5th Generation was this mysterious thing that I only got to see snippets of. I remember reading the very few video game magazines that I had access to over and over and looking at the screenshots from Saturn and PlayStation games in awe. I wanted a Mega-CD, since a Saturn was definitely out of reach, but never got one. I'm glad now since it wasn't anywhere close to what I'd built up in my head. Eventually I got to play several PlayStation games at various friends houses and even a Nintendo 64 at a family friend's. I had my own save on Mario 64 and quickly got more Stars during my sporadic visits than they had while living with the thing. Eventually got my own N64 in 2000, although I wanted a Dreamcast more than ANYTHING but they were much more expensive. I thought the Dreamcast was the coolest thing ever but I never actually saw one in real life until much later when I started collecting Sega consoles. Anyway, I could ramble for ages about my own history with old video games but I won't cos no one cares. But I thought I'd let you know that I just really enjoy your content - even the stuff that I'm not normally interested in, getting your perspective on it is fascinating.

I remember playing this in the Arcade part of a local comic shop with my dad and my friends. Eventually I spotted the Saturn import at the Used game store I was working at and I immediately bought it. Never regretted the decision. I never saw Import Saturn games in major stores. Man I wish that I had.

[@virgoboi24]

The game is still one of my all time favorite games; I played this religiously backintheday and when I wasnt playing it, I was listening to music in my cdplayer (which Im surprised I didn't ruin it doing that) Also, I didnt know stores in the US sold Japanese import games. I had to buy the 4ram cartridge, the import reader cartridge and this game (as well as marvel vs streetfighter, pocket fighters and vampire saviour) from Japan - CDJapan to be exact. In fact I believe xmen vs streetfighter was the first imoprt game I bought from them

[@Bloodreign1]

I own the Saturn version of the game, the only issue I had with it is the CPU never mixes up the teams each time you play. Certain characters will always be paired up with the same characters, time and time again.

The 4MB Ram cart is still the slickest looking piece of hardware around! Love it, and the game!

[@DragonSlayerKyo]

The Saturn port is based off of Rev 3 (the last release of the arcade game)- which made tons of adjustments to games, including making infinites more difficult to do.

[@jesseslack2089]

That 4MB cart for the Saturn had all the power just imagine if it was 8 or even 12!

[@wrena79]

Been playing both this and MSHVSSF on the Saturn recently and still to this day both these games rock! The epitome of arcade action in my eyes. Loud, flashy, accessible and imminently re-playable.

[@RevengerPhoenix]

Can’t believe this game hasn’t been released officially, outside of the perfect Saturn port and the bad ps1 version. I don’t own a Saturn, so I always have to boot up an emulator for the arcade rom of this. Hopefully one day, Disney gives the blessing. The animated X-Men sequel is coming up in 2023. Might be the perfect time to release this officially on new consoles and pc.

[@rockhyde7775]

If they made a MvC collection featuring X-Men COTA to MvC 2 that would be awesome.

Isn’t there an arcade 1 up release of this? I think they have a Capcom Marvel collection including this game

[@RevengerPhoenix]

@@sloppynyuszi oh yeah, they put a bunch of the mvc games in those machines. They’re a bit expensive and I don’t have space in my house for those. But the fact that they had some kind of release lately, gives me hope that a collection of sorts for consoles/pc is a possibility.

Never go any arcade after that. In my country Sega saturn not a popular console, if I know something like this existed that time.. Man such a shame.

My first and favorite of the CAPCOM vs games, my nostalgia is strong for this one. I snagged the Arcade1up cabinet that represents this game-it’s a beautiful cab, BTW-and it was also one of the first games I added to my SFII CE MAME cabinet. As others have stated: it’s insanity that the PS1 port was the last time we’d ever see this great fighter land on a home console.

Once in 2002 while the Dreamcast was still out from my Grandparrents neighbore over a few ciggerettes and a few dollars with an accompanying Japanese white model 2 Saturn and marvel vs street fighter. But since it did not come with the 4mb ram or console wires and I was 13 with no car , I sold it a year later to a kid in school for a nickel bag , 2 ciggerettes an a few dollars. Then in 2016 I got the Sega Saturn that I got to hold onto and get me full fledge into Sega Saturn collecting . It was a black North American model 2 with wires to console , action replay cartridge , 3 model 2 black Saturn pads , x men vs street fighter , marvel vs street fighter , virtual fighter , virtual fighter kids , virtual fighter remix , vampire savior , vampire chronicles, cyber bots , street fighter collection , street fighter zero , street fighter zero 2. No regrets and forever grateful .

Oh yeah! My first arcade cabinet as well. Bought it from my local arcade baby!!!

Ah yes, the only good port of xmen VS street fighter.

I imported Dracula X: Nocturne in the Moonlight. For all the flaws of that port, it was something that should've been localized.

I, too, bought this from EB back in the days. Had to get the action reply to make it work...

I remember seeing this in the arcade as a 12 year old and I went crazy!!!! I couldn't wait for it to be released for home consoles (and I had a Saturn then as well)
