Doc is waiting for us again with the brand new DeLorean, this time it will take us to the year 1998 to the arcade rooms, where they dominated the fighting games in a great way, but in this case we are going to focus on a videogame that marked an important point because thanks to him they left to the market an endless number of similar games, here it puts to test your maximum capacities in reaction against your adversary, the great Marvel Vs. Capcom.

It is worth noting that this is the third installment of Crossover between characters of Capcom and the great marvel, however, it was the most remembered and served as the starting point to its different games which have reached the last consoles of the current generation, in the Arcades of that time was one of the most used machines, the tail to be able to experience a gameplay in it was simply long, at the same time that it was also complicated because if you played an experienced player he would not let you do anything, so you had to learn the hard way.

Months later they released editions for consoles, although the most remembered is the Playstation version, the sega Dreamcast was simply the closest to the Arcade, however, in this post we will speak at a general level, giving my general point of view on the different aspects.

The level of detail that Capcom presented us with this masterful game was just perfect, all the sprites of each of the characters have a very high level of detail, so it is a pleasure to contemplate each of the movements that each one of them executes. They, like their special powers, are simply a spectacle.

We have a total of 21 eligible characters throughout the game, 6 of them are hidden, each has totally different characteristics and movements, we can find both Capcom classics and the great Marvel, one of my mains at that time was Strider, his great sword had an excellent range apart from doing quite attractive aerial combos, taking a great life to the rival, but, as well as Strider all had their defects and virtues.

The scenarios are simply fantastic, the animations contained in them are one of the things that I liked most about this video game, apart from being created with motifs that identify each character, an aspect that characterizes the Capcom games in its great majority of deliveries in video games of this style.

The gameplay is an improvement of their predecessor games, we have 6 main hits, three of fists and three of kicks, we can make various combinations that by executing them properly we can make combos both on land and in the air, also pressing the three buttons hit at the same time or the three kick buttons we will make a special movement that is unique for each character, which are called Super Combos, if we get right from the start any of them can cause great damage to our opponent.

When we play a single played our mission is simple, we must defeat all the enemies in phases, the difficulty is escalating as we move, so the last battles become really difficult, the last fight will be with the only boss of the game , which at the beginning can be quite complicated, but after several battles and spend a lot of coins, we can easily eliminate it.

Simply the musical composers created one of the best soundtracks, they composed a unique song for each character, this gives a customization to the awesome game, all their songs are perfectly consistent with the type of game, apart from that they perfectly fit the hero, the sounds apart from being the characteristic of Capcom in the fighting games are perfect, in the Arcade room you could hear clearly when playing Marvel vs Capcom since their sounds were totally unmistakable.

Currently Marvel Vs Capcom is one of the most played games in the competitive field in its current version, however, its first release impel many video players to get involved with these crossovers over the years, represented in time a great moment where gamers users could appreciate one of the best fighting games created in this style, personally I played all its versions since it was and still is one of my favorite games.
