How to Play Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes

Select two characters from both Marvel and Capcom franchises to create your ultimate multiverse team, then battle against another two-character team until both opponents are K.O.’d. The movesets are straightforward as the main attack for this game is simply punch and kick, with a button for each degree: Light, Medium, and Heavy. If time runs out before a team is knocked out, the team with the most health, or Vitality Points, wins the match.

In single-player mode, your team fights through 7 random teams before facing the final boss, Onslaught, in a two-round battle. The character who lands the final hit on Onslaught earns their respective ending.

Tips, Tricks & Strategies

Adjust the Controls

Click on ā€œControls Settingsā€, then press the keyboard controls. Press in the keyboard the control you would like to swap the default with, and then press ā€œUpdateā€ when done.

Switch Characters

You have two characters in your team for a reason, so make sure to utilize them both. Swap between your two characters strategically to conserve energy or use specific moves.

Utilize Special Partners

You can call upon your Special Partner for assist attacks, as long as they have an Assist stock available. Each partner has unique abilities and can only be summoned a limited number of times.

Activate Combos

Thanks to Easy Mode, it’s easier to execute powerful combos. Experiment with different attacks and combos to maximize damage, but make sure to time them carefully as opponents can dodge them.

Save Energy

Each character in Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes has special moves that allow them to build up certain combo energies over time. Use your Hyper Combo Gauge, shared between both teammates, to store up to 3 blocks of energy. You can see the amount of Hyper Combo Energy you have in the lower corners of your screen. The amount of energy you have depends on the amount and type of attacks you use. Hyper Combos or Cross-Over Counters require at least one block, with some powerful moves using all 3 blocks!
