Write your reply.

assistant: Just let me correct you for a second here.  It's Xmen vs Street Fighter.  If
 it's Street Fighter vs Xmen don't you think the game will play more like SF
rather than Xmen?  NEways, to play double characters, everyone can use
double except Cammy, Rogue and Storm.  I'll explain how to do them for the
characters except the ones above.
 Magneto:  goto him and hold left, random will start.  Pick him WHILE in
random mode and when you pick him, notice how the cursor stays on him?  well
pick him again!
 Ken:  goto him and hold right, and repeat above procedure.
 Wolverine: goto him and hold left, repeat.
 Bison: goto him and hold right, repeat.
 Akuma: goto him and hold left or right, repeat.
 Ryu: goto him and hold the direction. (ex, your cursor is at the left of
Ryu,  so you move right and hold it there and random will start), repeat.
 Cyclops: goto him and hold direction, repeat.
 Juggernaut: goto him and hold direction, repeat.
 Dhalsim: goto him and hold direction, repeat.
 Chun-Li: the first Chun-Li is manually picked so go pick her.  The second
one  start random select anywhere and pick the second Chun-Li by random
select.

these characters!!!! One cool thing Ive heard is that Playstation owners will
get Marvel Super Heroes VS SF that has all the MSH characters and the same
ones from SFVSXMEN with maybe one or 2 added on. SF3 may come out at the end
of this year with more character on the N64.. Ill post if I hear anything

Write your reply.

assistant: first
I didn't say it was the first, only that it was the first I could remember.
My memory, however, is faulty as to the name.  While there was a colour
horizontal-scroller prior to Pacman whose name apparently eludes me, Scramble
(according to the KLOV) actually came out in 1981.  Sorry about that =)
To anyone who thinks Pacman was the first, you're wrong, Galaxian beat it by
a year.  After I played one game of Galaxian I decided I would never play a
monochrome game again!

I think that's what's so good about EX, the smoothness and the graphics.  I

Write your reply.

assistant: Yes, everyone except Rogue, Storm and Cammy.  Basically, the 1st character
of  your double character has to be picked by random select.  To do random
select, you just goto the character you want double and hold to a direction
(but the  cursor still at the character you want double!) about 3 seconds
later, random  will start.  But for the characters at the middle top and
middle bottom of  the select screen (Ryu, Cyclops, Dhalsim, Juggernaut) you
have to move the     cursor to them and HOLD that direction. Example, let's
say you want double     Cyclops :)  The cursor is at Ryu, so you push left on
the joystick and hold    it there until random select.

sing to the sailors and the feel like going to them and jumping of the
ship..you feel like that. so emotionally attracting. anyway, i cant
