Appearances

Playable Characters:

Secret Playable Characters:

  • Gold War Machine - An alternate form of War Machine (typically Mega War Machine by fans) that cannot be either stunned or dizzied. Hw the second highest defense in the game, behind Onslaught. This version seems to be based off Iron Man's Model 1 Mark III Armor (Gold version). (First appearance)
  • Hyper Venom - A sped-up form of Venom with afterimages, which also takes almost twice normal damage. It is often called Red Venom by fans. It seems to be based off the incident from the comics where the Venom symbiote was infected with the mercurial virus and as an homage to Carnage. (First appearance)
  • Orange Hulk - A quicker version of Hulk with his normal moveset from Marvel Super Heroes. It is weaker than regular Hulk in some ways. This particular character seems to be created as an homage to The Thing. (First appearance)
  • Lilith Aensland/Lilith-Mode Morrigan - A form of Morrigan with Lilith's palette and moves. The result of Morrigan and Lilith smashing their heads together and swapping bodies. (First appearance)
  • Shadow Lady - an alternate, cyborg version of Chun-Li created by Shadaloo, similar to Shadow, and possibly a clone. In her ending, she and Shadow save Jin's life after Bison attacks him, making him a shadow just like them. (First appearance)
  • Roll - Mega Man's female counterpart, who enters the contest to prove that she's just as good as his. There are two versions of her background music (and like Mega Man, she has her own personalized victory music) (First appearance)

Assist Characters:

  • Onslaught - The game's final boss. He can be selected once the player completes the game once with any team of characters in the Playstation version. In the Dreamcast version he can be selected after unlocking all secret characters. (First appearance)

Synopsis

The telepathic mutant Professor X sends out a subconscious plea to heroes across both his universe and the Capcom universe to prevent his consciousness from merging with that of Magneto's and creating the evil psychic entity Onslaught. Meanwhile, the megalomaniacal villain M. Bison plans to absorb the power of Onslaught for himself.

Notes

Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes (called MvC1 by Street Fighter fans to differentiate it from Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes) is the third game in the Marvel vs. Capcom series of fighting games. It re-imagined many classic Capcom characters as fighting game sprites, while being the first game to feature real-time two-on-two fighting.

It was a popular tournament game at the height of its popularity having monthly tournaments at various locations.

  • Input: 8-way Joystick, 6 Buttons
  • Cabinet: Upright
  • Arcade system: CPS-2
  • Display: Raster, 384 x 224 (Horizontal), 4096 colors

Trivia

  • Ryu has the ability to switch between his own movesets and that of Ken Masters and Akuma in this game. (one of the PS1 version's loading screens dubbed him "'Complete Change' Ryu")
  • Mega Man appears slightly more immature in this game than in his own series; his ending is merely an animated picture reading "You Got Magnetic Shockwave". However, on the Playstation version, this ending is more than just a joke at the expense of the Mega Man series: beating the game with him allows you to use another version of Mega Man with Onslaught's "Magnetic Shockwave" available as a Hyper Combo.
  • Ryu's theme in the game is a remix of the opening title screen music of the CPS-1 incarnations of Street Fighter II.
  • Mega Man's theme is a remix of the opening title screen music of Mega Man 2. He also has his own unique victory music when he wins a match, which is the same victory fanfare heard when a robot master is defeated in a few Megaman titles, such as Mega Man 2 and Mega Man 7. Roll shares the same victory theme.
  • Roll, Shadow Lady, and Lilith-Mode Morrigan are the only secret characters to have their own endings.
  • The home versions of the game had an additional two palettes for each character with the exception of Onslaught, who only has one set of colors.
  • Mecha Zangief returns as a mode Zangief can turn into.
  • Although "created" especially for Marvel vs. Capcom, Orange Hulk later appeared in 2011's Uncanny X-Force #12.
  • Hulk's ending references Onslaught: Marvel #1, in which Onslaught is similarly turned into a psionic form and the Avengers and Fantastic Four entered the energy form to stop it. However, in the Marvel vs Capcom version, only Captain America enters the energy form.
