Team battles are epic struggles, as Capcom and Marvel really do clash head on. I've had Ryu, Doctor Doom and Mega Man battling Venom, Strider and Spider Man. The sensation of seeing all of these pop culture icons in one place smacking the living crap out of one another is truly amazing. As far as play goes, combining three completely different fighting styles can really throw off your opponent. Of course, picking three characters who are almost exactly alike can give you a seriously powerful edge as you don't have to remember a whole string of super moves or whose special attack does what.
Controls are simplistic, but that is a good thing.
Gone are the medium powered attack buttons of Capcom's past. Now there are Light and Heavy punches and kicks with the 5th and 6th buttons on the controller being used to either switch fighters in battle, or activate super combos. All in all, this is the first 2D fighting game I have encountered on the Dreamcast in which the basic controller was not a complete hindrance. The animation is, of course, top notch. While not nearly as detailed as that seen in Street Fighter III , the characters do still feature a decent amount of animation.
