Too often, we forget where we came from. We’re always grabbing the newest, shiniest thing we can find with no regard for what came before it. We play our sequels, prequels, and spinoffs and don’t worry about their humble beginnings. To understand what we play, we need to learn more about where our favorite series were born. That’s what Marvel vs. Capcom Origins sets out to do by way of faithful reproductions of both 1995’s Marvel Super Heroes and 1998’s Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes.
As a way of representing exactly what fighting games were like in the mid-to-late '90s, Marvel vs. Capcom Origins is one hell of an experience. Brawlers were looking to break away from their highly technical and inaccessible past by trying all sorts of new things. That’s where Marvel Super Heroes’ Infinity Gems, which give fighters abilities like health regeneration or extra armor, and Marvel vs. Capcom’s completely absurd tag-team style special attacks came from. They’re flashy, fun to watch, and a downright blast to tool around with.This era of experimentation wasn’t without its problems, however. Particularly bad are the balance issues in Marvel vs. Capcom. Secret characters like Red Venom and Gold War Machine are simply better than most characters, while the rest of the cast is stuck in regimented tiers that would likely have been smoothed out in a more contemporary game.
Having been released 14 and 17 years ago, respectively, the two titles included in Origins are decidedly from a bygone era. Originally designed as quarter-munching arcade games, their single-player experiences are decidedly more difficult than you’re likely to see in modern fighters. In some cases, they’re downright unfair. If you have vague recollections of shoving quarter after quarter into the MvC machine as final boss Onslaught beats your ass over and over again, you’d be remembering it exactly right.
However, if you’re thinking that the lack of balance will make MvC or MSH any less fun, you’d be mistaken. You’re just going to have to expect a lot of Wolverine, Spider-Man, Red Venom, and Gold War Machine when you play online. Just remember: This isn’t a rebalancing of the original games. Marvel vs. Capcom Origins is designed to present them in their original, unaltered states.Sure, the multiplayer modes may not be more than a 1v1 matchmaking system, but it more than gets the job done. And really, do you need much else for a pair of games released in the 90s? If I can’t get the sensation of plunking down a quarter on the machine to claim next game, I don’t want anyone messing with my simple, yet brutal matchups. Though, if you know what you’re doing, you may want to mess around with some of the technical options available to you, like establishing ping thresholds or your GGPO delay (translation: you can set exactly how much lag you’re willing to put up with).
As a history lesson, Marvel vs. Capcom Origins is a great experience. Both Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes and Marvel Super Heroes hold up surprisingly well. The love put into the collection is clear in the attention to faithfully reproducing exactly what made players fall in love with these games in the first place. Neither title is perfe...
