Anyways, here's a bit of trivia:
It really cannot be stated enough just how massive X-Men were in the 90s. They were basically THE marvel characters next to Spider-Man. They were absurdly popular.
And early on when you mention the tag system around the 16 minute mark, if you ever get around to King of Fighters that system might be more what you thought it was going to be. KoF's system is essentially each of your characters on a team of 3 is one round, so it's a best of 3 with each round being a new character.
I had the Japanese import Saturn version. I love the X-Men roster. I thought it was great that they had juggernaut and magneto as playable characters and brought in gambit and rogue. Though as a Colossus player, I missed his inclusion a bit.
But I really couldโve done without Dalsim and Charlie on the streetfighter side. I wouldโve preferred two of the other four kings besides bison or one more king and blanka
