Better animation: There are clearly better animations to the characters in this later and more advanced game.This leads to a more finishing move-heavy game (see issues below), but it makes them less frustrating to use than ones in Marvel Super Heroes, or Children of the Atom. there is some lead in time to it, but it is not active time (IE: the player cannot react in the time you wind up, the screen goes dark). Less lead in time to special moves: It is easier to get finishing moves (supers) off more quickly.In XVSF, you can now do special moves ( hadoken, and supers) During that time previously, all special moves where turned off. You can super after a round was over: There is a well-known trick whereby pressing the start button will allow you to "kick someone while they are down".Now, the max is three for all characters. Constant levels of super-move energy: In Marvel Super Heroes, people could max out their energy at different levels (number of times through the bar).You can also do a tag-team special, which does quite a lot of damage. This leads to an in interesting new set of strategies based on healing, when to tag, and matching up the right opponent. Tag: Of course, the main point of the game is to be able to tag another team mate in, so that the other one can heal, while one is fighting.
You could do special moves in the air, but not supers.

It came out for the CPS-2 arcade system towards the end of 1996. Street Fighter was the first game in the VS.
