This tag-team fighter unleashed a chaotic energy that few games have matched. X-Men vs. Street Fighter established the fundamentals of the "versus" formula, with its accessible controls and bombastic special moves. The ability to swap between characters mid-combo, extending strings into absurd lengths, was revolutionary at the time and remains a thrilling aspect of the gameplay, delivering an unrivaled sense of momentum.
