Outraged with how much better the Saturn version was, and how it only released in Japan. The Saturn was *the* Capcom 2D fighting system. It simply ran all of them better and most were arcade perfect. It also had *the* best fighting game pad of all time when the second version (or default Japanese) controller released. This was the second most played game I had on the system, only right behind Alpha 2.

I don't know... this is the first time I've heard any controversy or anger in regards to the series... and I'm pretty much the same age as Top Hat. Still watching the video to find out (read your comment in a commercial break, lol). Hoping its not just a clickbait headline (overuse of capslock is a typical warning though). I thought most people didnt even know about it at the time. I didn't know about Capcom collaborating with Marvel until I found Marvel vs Capcom on the PS1, which I instantly loved, but I didnt like the gameplay as much as other Capcom fighters. The only anger I ever found towards the entire series is, after the popularity of MvC2, is that its popularity in the arcades seemed undeserved by some people because it was apparently very unbalanced because of all the characters, plus Capcom "cheaped out" by still reusing so many old sprites from 5+ year old games. 15 min into the vid and still nothing about this so-called "outrage" in regards to XvsSF... OK, 20 minutes in - finally, it turns out its just a few magazine reviews that wrote exageratedly negative but well deserved reviewed for the PS1 port of the game. Outrageous...

That Teddy Long joke just made you my favorite man who ever wore a top hat while talking about games.

Awesome video. As a hardcore Sega Saturn fan, it was my favorite system of the 90s due to imports, I have to chime in. I’ve played the arcade version religiously as I was fortunate to have a few arcade units near me. Immediately upon playing this game in late 1996 in NYC, I knew with absolute certainty that an accurate port on the PlayStation was a technical impossibility. Two minor corrections: you called Sabretooth, Sabrewulf. Also, I vividly remember buying the King of Fighters 95 port in early 1996. It was the first Sega Saturn game ever to promise a near arcade perfect port, due to the use of the Sega Saturn cartridge slot. However, this was a 1MB ROM cart, not the familiar 1MB RAM cart. This cart was only used for King of Fighters 95 to store sprites, frames, etc. We did get a 1MB RAM cart that allowed for near arcade perfect 2D ports on the Sega Saturn (Japan only), that could be used with multiple games like Metal Slug, Marvel Superheroes, etc. However, it wasn’t until the release of the 4MB RAM cart with this game that we got arcade perfect ports on the Sega Saturn. Trust me, I used to have this game and X-Men vs Street Fighter in my own personal arcade cabinet (CPS 2 versions) and the Sega Saturn versions running in native RGB on a Sony PVM 2030, and they were absolutely pixel perfect to my eyes. There’s no wonder that the amazing Capcom swan song to the Sega Saturn, Street Fighter Zero 3, is the most coveted port available. That 4MB cart was a true revelation. Awesome videos. They give this 38 year old gamer nostalgia. 👍

Xmen vs Street Fighter was not just good because of the cross over but also because of how great it looked with huge sprites and special effects. If Capcom would have ported SFA2 characters directly without upgrades then the Xmen charachters would have totally killed the SF charachters so I guess it was part of their balancing. That aside one of the comments my friend said when I asked if he had played the game in Sega world was that it's amazing and he talked about how the SF characters had upgrades to their moves and looked great. I couldn't wait to play it and when I did it did not disappoint it was better than I had hoped based on the hype and what I had seen in magazines and as a Saturn fan I was very smug having a near Arcade perfect port :P

All Street Fighter Zero games are part of the same series. Same thing goes with my all the Darkstalkers.

If you never noticed the difference between the PS1 version and the arcade when it came out then clearly you didn't play the arcade much if at all. They are night and day. Hence why I sold my PS1 version immediately after seeing how watered down it was and I bought the import for my Saturn instead.

I applaud the high level of research and enthusiasm seen in this video. Thank you for putting so much thought and effort in producing this video. We go through life with so many questions and so few answers. This video is one of those rare times we get an answer like wtf happened to SF vs X-Men on PlayStation.

Glad You did this vid I’ve been playing more of the games again lately and remember what it was like when these hit the public.

Wow really. This is one of my favorite games of all time. Loving the street fighter videos. Got me watching your channel

For the people asking "why the outrage/what outrage" or that they've "never heard anyone hating this game," the hate/outrage is apparently from those that played the arcade version, and they're unhappy with the PS port of this game, There is NO HATE for the original arcade version (or the Sega Saturn port for that matter). But the OP however, points out that he himself doesn't think that the PS port was all that bad either.

A sequel without marvel characters wouldn't be an x-men vs street fighter sequel since x-men are marvel. Am I misunderstanding something?

@@abumpers7834 after X-Men vs. Street fighter every other sequel has been marvel vs street fighter or Capcom. the reason I would want a true sequel is it would only include X-Men characters and only include Street fighter characters which means you would have a higher number of characters represented from both series, but with HD graphics. You ever notice how the marvel versus Capcom games only have a few Street fighter characters. I'd like to see all the most popular ones. I'd even be happy with a marvel versus Street fighter if they actually included the most popular X-Men this time.

@@MentalDeviant that was what I hoped you meant, but had to make sure since I know people that think x-men and marvel are separate. I do agree on that. Everything marvel doesn't always need to be lumped together forcing us to settle for the same x-men all the time.

@Genexolev Ashtiani i also agree with you that it needs a story. There's a lot of epicness that could come out of franchise.

I was in to both series as a kid. More for Street Fighter for games. More into X-Men for cartoons and other media.

They were just doing the best they could with what was available. You can't slam them for that.

That Teddy Long reference got me.

This game in arcade used to have people lined up for hours waiting to play. My neighbor used to be the one of if not thee best in our arcade plaza. This was 23-24 years ago. He hardly ever lost and was always on top with his combinations and power moves. Good memories here in Los Angeles.

You mention Rogue, Gambit, and Sabertooth as being the only newly added characters to this game. Cammy was also new, as this appearance precedes her appearance in the Alpha series.

The only time i disliked X-men vs Street Fighter was the PS ports...Arcade and Saturn port...amazing

Great content, I've always enjoyed the analytical aspect of your site with the exception of that phony cringey thing you do where you make faces while showing a product. I finally subscribed cause I didn't see any of that in this video.

They were 4 new characters for this game. Aside from the ones you listed, Cammy's SFA design debuted here. She'll join the SFA games 'till Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold about a year later. :)

The look on someone's face when you beat a VS game in 1 credit. Priceless.

This is one of the first imported games I ordered for the Saturn.

Back in the day, I bought the Saturn XM vs SF that included that ram cart. It was $100 well spent. My friends and I spent months playing the vs mode. Same with the MSH vs SF the next year. But yeah, I rented the PSX version one time just to see the difference. Yikes. No tag team really crippled it & the load times were miserable. The Saturn ram cart eliminated load times. But if you had nothing to compare it to, i guess it was playable.

You can still tag team in the PSX version. Granted its worthless and shallow compared to the Saturn, but it can still be done. Its like how in the PSX version of Marvel vs Capcom, you can't tag team, but you can have Mega Man use Onslaught's EM Wave.

I personally was fucking in love with this game.

X-men vs. Street Fighter will always bring back nostalgic memories for me.

"This is X-Men vs Street Fighter!". Damn. When I hit that start button in the arcade. Great times!

I remember when these 90s magazine reviewers reviewed Castlevania: Dracula X for Super Nintendo, all reviews were like: "ZOMG, this is nowhere near as good as Rondo of Blood". No shit, but who even has TurboGrafx-16?

If I ever make my way to England I want to buy you a beer. Maybe we can go to the Wenchester lol.

It was no secret that the 2D fighters of the time were better on Saturn, some of the reviewer comments are quite harsh though, i'd be happy to play the psx version over nothing at all. look at the home ports of mortal kombat, alot further from the arcade version compared to the quality of the psx xmen vs sf. good video.

Great video, lots of fun to watch. it would be nice if showed the actuall in game mechanics that your describing at the moment instead of random game play
