* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: For [[CombatTentacles some]] strange reason, Shuma-Gorath is popular in Japan.
* HarsherInHindsight: [[VideoGame/FinalFight Cody and Jessica]] cameo in the Mall stage, with the former wanting to fight so badly, and Jessica being horrified. Come ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha 3'', they broke up due to Cody being addicted to fighting, which then puts Cody in jail.
* HilariousInHindsight:
** This winquote from Cap sums it all:
---> ''"[[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 M.O.D.O.K. is next on my list.]]"''
** Similarly, one of Zangief's winquotes:
---> ''"No one can compare to me. Not even [[VideoGame/FinalFight a mayor!]]"''
** As is par for the course, Dan's ending is a hilarious but clearly non-canonical spoof of ''VideoGame/ArtOfFighting''. (Cyber-Akuma as Dan's ''[[LukeIAmYourFather father]]''?!) [[VideoGame/StreetFighterV About twenty years later]], it became a little less out there than originally portrayed thanks to Capcom [[CanonImmigrant canonizing]] his younger sister introduced in that scene. At this point, all that's left is for Capcom to hint at a ''legitimate'' connection between Akuma and Dan.
* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: Though not hated, the game is usually criticized for being a thinly-veiled reskin of its predecessor, right down to reusing the same stages and even Apocalypse as a boss character (though now a sub-boss rather than the final one). This, coupled with the lack of new sprites (as with the exception of Norimaro, all of the newcomers like Sakura, Omega Red and Dan just reused their sprites from the ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha'' series or ''VideoGame/XMenChildrenOfTheAtom'') and the fact that the game's "secret characters" like Comicbook/USAgent and Comicbook/{{Mephisto}} were all just simple {{Palette Swap}}s, has given rise to the perception that ''Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter'' was a lazy rush job.
* MemeticMutation:
** Some of Webhead's lines, such as, "One for J.J.!" and "Do your job!" (or alternatively, "'''DO YOUR [[PrecisionFStrike GODDAMN]] JOB!'''") are minor memes in the community.
** [[DifficultySpike And]] [[SNKBoss then]], [[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere suddenly]], [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul CYBER-AKUMA]]!
* PortingDisaster: The [=PS1=] port omitted the tag team gameplay due to the system's limitations. Nothing new as ''VideoGame/XMenVsStreetFighter'' did so too. The faster gameplay and extra color schemes more than made up for it and there's a somewhat limited version of the tag team included.
* SophomoreSlump: Most serious players find the game to be [[SoOkayItsAverage stale and boring]] due to all the nerfs and balancing done to the game in reaction to [[YMMV/XMenVsStreetFighter the sheer insanity]] of the previous game. Also, despite all this, Wolverine is still broken. That said, the game maintains a respectable following overall. It wasn't until [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomClashOfSuperHeroes the sequel]] that said sheer insanity returned.
* {{Squick}}: One of Norimaro's [[http://tcrf.net/Marvel_Super_Heroes_vs._Street_Fighter_(Arcade) planned attacks]] for the Japanese version had him fantasizing about a certain Capcom character and spouting a nosebleed. Two of these characters were Anita from ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' (a young girl) and... Zangief.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The beginning piano notes of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luv-qdGEPps Wolverine's theme]] have been remarked on for their similarity to the opening section of Music/MichaelJackson's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi_XLOBDo_Y "Billie Jean."]]
* UnexpectedCharacter: Shuma-Gorath [[VideoGame/MarvelSuperHeroes once again]]. Omega Red as well, as he hadn't been featured since ''VideoGame/XMenChildrenOfTheAtom.''
%% By definition, Cyber-Akuma can't be That One Boss because he's the final boss and, more importantly, he's an SNK Boss, meaning he's deliberately overpowered as opposed to difficult but fair.
