History

Historical Context

Capcom’s Marvel-vs-Capcom series started with 1994’s X-Men: Children of the Atom and the 1996 arcade X-Men vs. Street Fighter, which introduced tag-team combat later refined in Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes (1998, 1.5 million copies sold). Arc System Works—founded 1988 and credited with over 2,000 fighting titles—provides its engine for 2024’s Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, a 4v4 tag game for PlayStation 5 and PC.
