History VideoGame / CapcomVs

* ''Taisen Net Gimmick: Capcom vs. Psikyo All Stars'', a TabletopGame/{{Mahjong}} game for UsefulNotes/SegaDreamcast starring various characters from Capcom and Creator/{{Psikyo}} companies, with Ryu and [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Morrigan Aensland]] playing against [[VideoGame/SengokuAce Tengai and Koyori]], as other characters from different franchises of both comapnies.

** ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom2''

* The ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone'' series, which added two more companies (Sega and Nintendo) to the mix.

* FakeCrossover: There is no continuity between the games, and the storylines are not referenced anywhere else. However, there's a surprising aversion during the ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse storyline'', where the villain Morlun drops in on Spider-Man of Earth-30847, who is explicitly shown to be the ''Marvel vs. Capcom'' version of the character, up to and including having a confused player standing at the arcade machine, [[http://media1.gameinformer.com/filestorage/CommunityServer.Components.SiteFiles/imagefeed/featured/gamer-culture/marvelSpidey/SpiderVerseMVC.jpg watching the scene unfold.]]

** ''VideoGame/SNKVsCapcomMatchOfTheMillennium''

** To a much lesser extent you also have [[VideoGame/StreetFighterI Ken Masters]] (who usually only appears in crossovers that are specifically focused on fighting game characters and/or exclusively have the ''Street Fighter'' roster on the capcom side; he was absent in ''Marvel vs. Capcom 1'', ''3'', ''Infinite'', and ''Tatsunoko vs. Capcom''), [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Zangief]] (who was replaced by [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII Alex]] in ''Tatsunoko vs. Capcom'', by [[VideoGame/FinalFight Hu]][[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII go]] in ''SVC Chaos'', [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Akuma]] (who missed ''Tatsunoko'' and ''Infinite'') and [[VideoGame/FinalFight Haggar]] in ''Marvel vs. Capcom 3'' and ''Infinite'') and [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Morrigan]] (who was replaced by [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Demitri]] in ''SVC Chaos'', a game which, unsurprisingly, was developed by SNK and not Capcom, and does not appear in any ''Street Fighter'' specific games).

* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU'' features Mega Man and Ryu being able to face off against the heroes and villains of Creator/{{Nintendo}} ([[GuestFighter as well as]] Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog, VideoGame/PacMan, [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cloud Strife]], and VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}). ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' sees the two return with Ken Masters in tow to battle all of the previously mentioned characters, [[VideoGame/MetalGear along]] [[VideoGame/{{Castlevania}} with]] [[VideoGame/Persona5 some]] [[VideoGame/DragonQuest new]] [[VideoGame/BanjoKazooie faces]] [[VideoGame/{{Minecraft}} thrown]] [[Franchise/KingdomHearts in]], including [[VideoGame/FatalFury the Hungry Wolf, Terry Bogard]] & [[VideoGame/{{Tekken}} Chucking People of Cliffs, Kazuya Mishima]] fighting game characters who the ''Street Fighter'' cast has faced off with in the past, with additional content from ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'', ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil'', ''VideoGame/GhostsNGoblins'', and ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' also being present.

* ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'' pretty much only features those two series, despite also being a fighting game.

* SpotlightStealingCrossover: ''X-Men'' and ''Street Fighter'' characters usually tend to dominate the cast, with ''Marvel vs. Capcom 2'' being especially infamous in this regard (with over half the roster being more ''Street Fighter'' and ''X-Men'' than anything else), though ''Marvel vs. Capcom 3'' and its ''Ultimate'' update toned things down a bit (only four ''Street Fighter'' characters, and while there were still a considerable amount of ''X-Men'', there were plenty of other characters as well), and ''Infinite'' keeps Ryu and Chun-Li as the only ''Street Fighter'' representatives with the ''X-Men'' characters getting removed due to [[ExecutiveMeddling Marvel's corporate pettiness]] over their film rights then being owned by Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox.

** To a much lesser extent you also have [[VideoGame/StreetFighterI Ken Masters]] (who was absent in ''Marvel vs. Capcom 1'', ''3'', ''Infinite'', and ''Tatsunoko vs. Capcom''), [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Zangief]] (who was replaced by [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII Alex]] in ''Tatsunoko vs. Capcom'', by [[VideoGame/FinalFight Hu]][[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII go]] in ''SVC Chaos'', and [[VideoGame/FinalFight Haggar]] in ''Marvel vs. Capcom 3'' and ''Infinite'') and [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Morrigan]] (who was replaced by [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Demitri]] in ''SVC Chaos'', a game which, unsurprisingly, was developed by SNK and not Capcom).
** Let's not get started on the non-Capcom examples, ''especially'' the {{Trope Namer|s}}. He is the only Marvel character who has appeared in every single ''Marvel vs. Capcom'' entry from ''X-Men: Children of the Atom'' all the way up to ''Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3''. He even has '''TWO''' versions of himself in ''[=MvC2=]''. The only Marvel characters to come close to meeting his near-perfect attendance record would be Spider-Man, Captain America and the Hulk, who have appeared in nearly every installment of the series sans ''Children of the Atom'' and ''X-Men vs. Street Fighter''.

* FakeCrossover: Averted. This universe is known as Earth-30847, which is acknowledged in the ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse'' storyline when the villain Morlun runs into the Spider-Man of this universe.

* AdaptationalDyeJob:
** Venom is portrayed as having a primarily light-blue color scheme as his default skin.
** Spider-Man's default color scheme is portrayed as orange and blue, rather than red and blue. He does have a more typical red and blue color scheme as an alternative skin.
** War Machine has some cyan in his default skin, as opposed to a light gray in usual portrayals of this armor. Granted, he is also a PaletteSwap and a stand-in for Iron Man.
