Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes
Marvel vs. Capcom: New Age of Heroes (called MvC1 by Street Fighter fans to differentiate it from MvC2) 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 the first major tournament game of the Street Fighter scene, at the height of its popularity having monthly tournaments at the legendary Southern Hills Golfland, but due to the inherent flaws in the revamped game engine, it was eventually dropped in favor of the newer and more exciting Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

- Rockman appears much younger and immature in this game than in his own series; his ending is merely an animated picture reading "You Got Magnetic Shockwave".
