'''''Marvel vs. Capcom''''' '''series''': A series of tag team crossovers where, as the name indicates, pits superheroes and villains from Marvel Comics against characters from Capcom's sizable library of games. Its roots can be traced back to the 1994 title ''X-Men: Children of the Atom'', a Capcom-developed fighting game which also featured Akuma as a secret guest character, and its successor ''Marvel Super Heroes'' the following year, which reused some assets from the ''X-Men'' game. The first proper crossover was 1996's ''X-Men vs. Street Fighter'', followed by ''Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter'' the following year, then in 1998 followed by ''Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes''. These crossover games revolve around tag battles, where each player chooses two characters to fight in tandem, the winner being the first to defeat both of the opponent's characters. ''Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes'', in 2000, expanded the concept to teams of three characters, which was followed in 2011's ''Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds'', but scaled back to two teams and Infinity Stones for 2017's ''Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite''. | '''''Marvel vs. Capcom''''' '''series''': A series of tag team crossovers where, as the name indicates, pits superheroes and villains from Marvel Comics against characters from Capcom's sizable library of games.

'''Other ''Versus'' games and crossovers''': As one of Capcom's flagship franchises, the ''Street Fighter'' series has taken part in other crossovers, either by itself or as part of a whole shared universe with other Capcom franchises. These include the ''Capcom vs. [[SNK]]'' series, which has a variety of selectable playing systems as a nod to both publishers' history of fighting games; ''Tatsunoko vs. Capcom'', similar to ''Marvel vs. Capcom'' but with characters from the Japanese animation studio Tatsunoko Production such as Casshern and Hurricane Polymar; ''[[Namco]] x Capcom'', which would later originate the ''Project X Zone'' series | '''Other ''Versus'' games and crossovers''': As one of Capcom's flagship franchises, the ''Street Fighter'' series has taken part in other crossovers, either by itself or as part of a whole shared universe with other Capcom franchises.

A ''Tekken''-style game in the same breadth, aptly titled ''Tekken x Street Fighter'', was announced to be in development before it was frozen. | ||
