The game takes place within the Marvel comic continuity, as
Professor Charles Xavier calls out for heroes to stop him before he merges with the consciousness of
Magneto and becomes the being known as
Onslaught, the final boss. In the meantime,
M. Bison is planning to absorb the power of Onslaught for himself.
*Ryu has the ability to switch between his own movesets and that of
Ken Masters and
Akuma in this game.
*Mega Man appears much younger and immature in this game than in his own series; his ending is merely an animated picture reading "You Got Magnetic Shockwave". However, on the home versions, this ending is more than just a joke at the expense of the Mega Man series: beating the game with him allows you to use another version of Mega Man with
Magneto's "Magnetic Shockwave" available as a Hyper Combo.
