X-Men vs. Street Fighter

The game uses a side-view 2D fighting format where each player controls a team of two characters and can switch between them during battle. Core systems include partner assists, air combos, super moves, and Variable Cross sequences that enable long, damaging strings. Progression follows arcade-mode stages against CPU opponents, while match strategy revolves around life management, timing swaps, and confirming hits into high-damage follow-ups.

Ryu

Street Fighter’s iconic martial artist, a balanced fighter with Hadoken, Shoryuken, and Tatsumaki Senpukyaku.

Ken

Ryu’s rival and friend, built for fast pressure and fiery combo extensions.

Chun-Li

A speed-oriented fighter with strong kicks, mobility, and close-range pressure.

Cyclops

An X-Men member who uses optic blasts for mid-range control and combo setup.

Wolverine

An aggressive close-range fighter with rapid attacks and strong rushdown potential.

Storm

An X-Men member focused on aerial movement and elemental spacing tools.

Build your team around one zoning or control character and one close-range damage dealer. Use assists to interrupt pressure and convert stray hits into full combos whenever possible. Against strong aerial opponents, keep anti-air options ready and avoid unsafe swaps unless you have a clear advantage.

Tips and tricks

• Watch the opponent’s opening movement to decide whether to play defensively or rush in immediately.
• Turn assist hits into follow-up combos quickly so you do not waste momentum.
• If one character is low on health, switch carefully and preserve a healthy backup for later rounds.
