History YMMV / MarvelVsCapcomClashOfSuperHeroes

* DesignatedHero: The game's subtitle is "Clash of Super Heroes", but it includes Venom who is an AntiHero.

** Likewise for Jin's ending [[spoiler:where he dies and Ryu expresses hope he'll be back]], considering he only appeared in two more games after this (and the second game was a cameo in ''Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3'''s ComicBook/DaysOfFuturePast stage on a wanted poster).

* PortingDisaster: The Platform/PlayStation version, while considered to be an improvement in comparison to the [=PS1=] ports of [[VideoGame/XMenVsStreetFighter its]] [[VideoGame/MarvelSuperHeroesVsStreetFighter predecessors]], is an enigma. Damningly, it lacks the tag team combat (bar a special mode where it is allowed, but players must use the exact same team) and suffers from cut animation frames and [[LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading fairly gratuitous loading times]][[labelnote:*]]generally lasting from four to ten seconds, which is admittedly quicker than some of the other [=PS1=] Capcom ports like ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha Street Fighter Alpha 3]]'' and the aforementioned ''[=XvSF=]''[[/labelnote]], features that largely make it not a straight port of the arcade version. That said, it ''does'' [[ReformulatedGame make a valiant attempt to compensate for this]], such as the ability to play as Onslaught and the version of Mega Man with the Magnetic Shockwave from Mega Man's ending, extra colors, being able to start the match in alternate forms (i.e. having Ryu start as Ken or Akuma), the presence of an art gallery and ending viewer, and the very unique ability to [[LagCancel cancel special moves and even Hyper Combos into Hyper Combos]]. In spite of all these neat features, many of which are unavailable in any other version, most players tend to completely ignore it for the arcade, Dreamcast. and ''Origins'' versions due to the dealbreakers that are the main changes.

** The Dreamcast version is more or less [[ArcadePerfectPort arcade-perfect]]. It also lets you unlock the {{secret character}}s for permanent use, plus Onslaught.

%%* TierInducedScrappy: Roll. A somewhat strange example considering [[JokeCharacter she was intentionally designed to be a rather poor combatant]].

** The FinalBoss of ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomClashOfSuperHeroes'' is ComicBook/{{Onslaught}}, one of the most dangerous villains in Marvel's pantheon. After defeating his first form, all goes quiet for a moment before the ground starts to quake, and you're greeted with [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/marvelvscapcom/images/3/3a/Mvsc_onslaught2.gif/revision/latest?cb=20101121213920 this]]!

* ReformulatedGame: ''Marvel vs. Capcom EX Edition'' is probably the best UsefulNotes/PlayStation port of an ''[=MvC=]'' title - less by it being arcade-accurate and more by how much it tried to work around the console's severe RAM limitations. The game's flagship feature, 2-on-2 tag battles, has been replaced with a 1-on-1, round-based system similar to ''[[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Darkstalkers 3]]'' - even though you still have to select two characters either from the playable roster or from a number of assists. The game's other flagship feature, Variable Cross, is available with either of them, though with the former, you'll fight alongside a clone of your enemy, and with the latter, you'll have automatic ''and'' unlimited assists for a few seconds. Aside from a few nifty extras, such as being able to transform Ryu and Zangief before the match even begins (without it costing any meter!) or use Onslaught's Magnetic Shockwave as Mega Man, there are also special-to-super cancels and [=DHC's=][[note]]Delayed Hyper Combos, cancelling an ongoing Hyper Combo into another, different Hyper Combo[[/note]] - mechanics that wouldn't be present in the series proper until '''only a few weeks later''' in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom2''. If you ever need an immediate reference to how different ''EX Edition'' is to the arcade experience, it comes with the [[MirrorMatch Cross Over]] mode that brings all of the 2-on-2 tag teams back, while leaving out most, if not all, of the new features.

** Hulk's ending, [[spoiler:where Cap sacrifices himself to save the world, with the rest of the X-Men eulogizing him.]] Though this is sad enough, it's the frakking music that makes it worse.

* CondemnedByHistory: As time went on, the game slowly became unliked by many competitive players due to limited playstyles that work at high end gameplay (basically throws, chipping and infinities were all that worked) and were dominated by only a handful of playable characters and assists.
