X-Men vs. Street Fighter [Arcade] - Apocalypse (playthrough)

This is a play-through using Apocalypse in the Arcade version of X-Men vs. Street Fighter. Read on below for more information...

Apocalypse is the one and only boss in this game. He is a non-selectable character in this version of it.

===== About Apocalypse =====
Famous Marvel cartoon villain who can change into a giant. Wonders around the world pretending to be a God because he can.

Gameplay-wise, he is a very slow, clunky and static character. All of his moves will leave him in a vulnerable position, which is understandable because he is a giant boss who cannot block. The satellite lasers (which are CPU-controlled) are his best moves. The Drill is excellent as well - providing that you catch the opponent with it.

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

---- He has a Forcefield which appears to be an unfinished and unused move where he transforms his background arm and produces a small forcefield that lasts briefly. It does not affect the opponent in any way, even if there is "contact".

---- If you complete the game with Apocalypse, you'll get Ryu's ending.

---- If you select Apocalypse with a normal character as his partner, the round will start early meaning his partner/opponent will be able to move even when Apocalypse hasn't finished his intro (where he rises from below). If Apocalypse gets stunned when he is rising, he'll be stuck in an infinite loop of his stun state. From here not even defeating him will progress the game, you need the Time Over to progress.

---- If you select Apocalypse with a normal character as his partner, get to the end of the game and defeat CPU Apocalypse WITH Apocalypse, you'll obviously face your partner as the last stage. In this scenario, the round will start early meaning his partner/opponent will be able to move even when Apocalypse hasn't finished his intro (where he rises from below). If Apocalypse gets heavily hit when he is rising, the game will lock and reset.

---- You must select Apocalypse as both your characters in order to play as him as a proper lone character (like the CPU boss version).

---- If you play an Apocalypse vs Apocalypse game, both will not have their main 'body' sprite.

===== About X-Men vs. Street Fighter =====
This is the very first game of the Marvel versus franchise from Capcom, and what a great game it is. The combo possibilities are crazy in this game, and in the earlier revisions it was littered with infinite combos.

The game features mainly recycled sprites/characters from COTA, MSH and SFA, but also introduces a few completely new characters.
