A few loading screens from the PS1 version of Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes. Every character in the game (except Lilith-style Morrigan, Mega War Machine, Hyper Venom and Orange Hulk) has one!

The PS1 port of MvC is, needless to say, very compromised, but they tried their best. Performing a Duo Team Attack, for instance... Brings in a ~clone of your opponent~. Don't need to load a partner into memory if they're already there!

It also has some exclusive features, like an art gallery, ending viewer... And a very silly 'Dynamic Mode' where when you land an Air Combo / Aerial Rave, the camera will zoom in closer and closer until the combo ends.

It... Does not look very good.

(Incidentally, taking shots from these PS1 Capcom arcade ports posed a slight problem.

Because of the 368 x 224 rez that CPS1 and 2 games were made in (but not displayed in), these PS1 ports keep that rez... But emulators can't handle it, so parts of the image are cut off!)

(There's a video explaining this choice of resolution here, if you're interested.)
