 Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter features a roster of 17 playable fighters , with nine characters from the Street Fighter universe and eight characters from the Marvel Universe . All of the X @-@ Men characters featured in X @-@ Men vs. Street Fighter , with the exception of Cyclops and Wolverine , are replaced with characters from other Marvel Comics properties , such as Captain America , Spider @-@ Man , and the Hulk . Most of the Street Fighter characters from the previous game also return , with the exception of Cammy and Charlie ( although Charlie is actually still in the game as a palette swapped secret character named " Shadow " ) , who are replaced by Dan and Sakura . The Japanese arcade and console versions of Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter include an exclusive character named Norimaro ( 憲磨呂 ( ノリマロ ) ) . Norimaro is an original character created and owned by Japanese comedian Noritake Kinashi , who represents neither Marvel nor Capcom . Due to licensing issues involving the character , Norimaro is not available in international releases of the game . In addition to the 17 immediately playable characters , the roster also contains six secret characters . The secret characters are palette swaps of existing fighters with different moveset properties , such as " Dark Sakura " and " Mecha @-@ Zangief " , as well as recreations of U.S. Agent and Mephisto , based on Captain America 's and Blackheart 's sprites and moves , respectively .
