I am not talking about side scrollers and beat them ups.
I am talking about Marvel v Capcom style, head to head fighting games.
Except in MvC, the only times you get 2 characters to use at once is during supers.
Are there any games that has two playable characters on the screen at the same time, on a permanate basis? Like a 2 on 2 fight, or even 3 or 3? And for the boss round, 2 gang up on the boss?
It would be hard for one person to control the 2 characters, so maybe it would be a 2-4 player thing, where 2 players on the same side control each their own characters?
I have a 2player 3v3 game called Troika where none of the characters have to ever tag out.
The reason there is a serious lack of these games is that its too hard to play like that.
6 characters on the screen = mayhem
The normal version let one have two teammates you could switch out (as long as you were in the designated “area”) and do other stuff like tag team attacks. The moniker spoke for itself; “Super Tag Battle”.
Edit: Actually, I see what you mean; yeah the game doesn’t allow you to have two players playing at once, but the two players’ characters are technically on the screen simultaneously.
