Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter [Arcade] - Norimaro in US version

This is a play-through using Norimaro in the USA Arcade version of Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter. Read on below for more information...

Norimaro is a non-selectable character in the International versions of the game.

===== About Norimaro =====
His design is based on a Japanese comedy TV show host named Noritake Kinashi. In true comedic fashion and to match the atmosphere of this game, Capcom certainly made sure to exaggerate the characteristics of this person.

Gameplay-wise, he can actually combo very well and has some good moves which can definitely annoy the opponent. A bit of a "joke" character, but one that is capable of challenging the other characters when played in the right way.

I believe the reason he was removed from the Western versions of the game was due to copyright/licensing issues regarding Noritake Kinashi. I've also read somewhere before that another reason was because Marvel did not want to see their characters getting defeated by Norimaro... and then there's also the story of Norimaro's controversial throw in a prototype screenshot of the game which Marvel highly disapproved of. This throw was of course, removed from the final version.

===== Additional Information =====

---- If you complete the game with Norimaro, you get an actual ending image for him, in English text. The dialogue is from Dan's ending.

---- There are some hit property flaws that occur when choosing both characters as Norimaro. When the 2nd Norimaro faces left, his hits will make the opponent stun to the right.

===== About MSHvSF =====
MSHvSF was created with too much "hype" and "company fanboyism". The roster is questionable, because aside from Cyber-Akuma and Norimaro (the latter being only available in the Japanese version), the rest of the roster are recycled from other games. The Capcom roster I think has too many shotos. The soundtrack however is new and is well-composed.

Nevertheless, it's a fun game all the same. Wolverine is a problem in this game though... it's ridiculous on just how utterly overpowered he is, lol.
