Marvel vs. Capcom series

Marvel vs. Capcom is a series of fighting games created by Capcom in which characters created by Marvel Comics and Capcom's own characters appear together. The "vs. series" originates from the fact that every game in this series is a fighting game, and although it was the first vs. series involving Capcom, the name Marvel exists to distinguish it from Capcom's other vs. series with SNK (see Capcom vs. SNK) and Namco's upcoming crossover RPG with Capcom (Namco x Capcom ).

The Marvel vs. Capcom series is perhaps considered to be the most popular among American fans of the Street Fighter series, in part because it allows their comic book heroes to fight alongside or against their favorite World Warriors.

The Marvel characters depicted in these games were often based on their incarnations in various early 1990s television series (particularly the X-Men animated series), and were often voiced by the same voice actors.

Many of the characters and fighting mechanics used in these games were first developed and refined in two other fighting games Capcom had developed earlier, serving as pre-cursors to the series: X-Men: Children of the Atom, which featured characters strictly from the X-Men universe, and Marvel Super Heroes, which gleaned characters from Marvel's entire roster (X-Men included).

Although the tag-team fighting concept was not new, it was refined with this series (although fans would argue whether this was for better or for worse). New fighting game terminology, such as "Aerial Rave" (the act of performing a combo on an opponent while the opponent remains airbone) and "Variable Combination" (the act of having two or more characters on the same team to perform their super combos at the same time) were added to the fighting game vernacular with this series.

Although Capcom has stated that the series is finished, with new versions of various Marvel (and Capcom) characters replacing the versions depicted in the games, there are persistent, if unsupported, rumors that the series would continue (fueled by jokes and outright lies from many Capcom of America representatives and PR personel), but future games in the series would involve other game and comic book companies such as DC Comics (Marvel vs. DC) and possibly SNK (Marvel vs. DC vs. Capcom vs. SNK).
