This template is only for Capcom-owned entries in their Vs. (Versus) video game series. Due to the similarity of titles of other crossover fighting games involving Capcom properties, it is easy for the uninitiated to confuse them as part of this series. This should be treated with common sense and the occasional exception. For example, compilations of previous Capcom Vs. games belong here.
Capcom's Vs. series consists of eight installments as of 2011 if the Capcom vs. SNK games are included. These games does not include the SNK-developed (SNK vs. Capcom) games. It is highly recommended to source games in the following section for the sake of verifiability and placement on the template. X-Men: Children of the Atom (1994) and Marvel Super Heroes (1995) are regarded as games that lay the foundation for the start of the series.[1][2]
This template's initial visibility currently defaults to autocollapse, meaning that if there is another collapsible item on the page (anavbox, sidebar, or table with the collapsible attribute), it is hidden apart from its title bar; if not, it is fully visible.
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used:
{{Capcom's VS. series|state=collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.{{Capcom's VS. series|state=expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible....the crossovers that make up Capcoms VS series is what makes its already good fighting games great. First taking root in the 1994 release of the Marvel Comics licensed game X-Men: Children of the Atom which had Street Fighter's Akuma as a hidden playable character, the series really took off two years later when the arcade game X-Men vs. Street Figher was released.
Seth Killian: So the history of the Versus series technically starts with X-Men vs. Street Fighter, but many fighting aficionados including myself really date some of the origins back to games called X-Men: Children of the Atom and Marvel Super Heroes which introduced things like chain combo and aerial rave [...] all of that lead us eventually into X-Men vs. Street Fighter...
Previous titles in Capcom's Vs. series (such as arcade hits X-Men vs. Street Fighter and Marvel vs. Capcom)...
The Capcom "Vs" series has been going for quite some time now, and has so far imbibed Marvel superheroes and SNK's distinctive arrangement of fighters, but this is the first time - some months after SNK's unfortunate demise - that the firm's characters have appeared on PlayStation.
'I would love to do more versus series, more types of games like Marvel Vs. Capcom 2,' Niitsuma said.
The seventh installment in Capcom's versus series...
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is the seventh game in Capcom's Vs. series...
The system hasn't changed much; it's more of a natural evolution from MvC2 or Tatsunoko vs. Capcom [...] Another editor agreed that there isn't a great deal novel here, but the game builds upon the Vs. series to make an overall great fighting package.
