Capcom's Versus series pits characters from Street Fighter and other Capcom properties against comic book and anime characters, as well as fighters from other companies.

And most recently,
- Tatsunoko
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All StarsThere has also been another Capcom crossover game - Namco × Capcom, which is a lesser known RPG which was done in conjunction with Namco.
Marvel vs. Capcom Series
Marvel vs. Capcom is a series of fighting games created by Capcom in which characters created by Marvel Comics and Capcom in which both
companies’ own characters appear together. It was the first in the vs. series involving Capcom
The Marvel characters depicted in these games were mostly based upon their incarnations in several early 90s cartoons (predominantly X-Men), and were often voiced by the same voice actors as in the animated series.
Many of the characters and game mechanics used in these games were initially developed and polished in two other fighting games Capcom had previously made. These games (X-Men: Children of the Atom, and Marvel Super Heroes) can be seen as precursors to the main series.
Although the tag-team fighting model wasn’t an original concept, it was refined with this series (although fans would debate whether this was for better or for worse). New fighting game terminology, such as "Aerial Rave" (the act of performing a combo on an opponent while the opponent remains airborne) and "Variable Combination" (the act of having two or more characters on the same team to perform their hyper combos at the same time) were added to the fighting game vernacular with this series.
SNK vs. Capcom Series
The SNK vs. Capcom (or alternately Capcom vs. SNK) series is a collection of video games by either Capcom or SNK featuring characters that appear in games created by both of these two companies.
As a rule, if the game is either titled SNK vs. Capcom or Capcom vs. SNK, the first company named is denoting the company behind the game's development.
Origins
The supposed origin behind this series was an issue of magazine in which there were articles covering both The King of Fighters '98 and Street Fighter Alpha 3, both of which were released at around the same time. Readers had misread the cover, which said KOF vs. SF, to mean that there was a fighting game that would pit characters from Street Fighter and The King of Fighters. Because of this uproar, Capcom and SNK supposedly signed a deal that would allow them to produce only two fighting games concerning both franchises in 1999 (the Card Fighters series were not fighting games and therefore were exempt from the rule).
It is highly suggested that SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos was only made in order to fulfill the contract obligations that SNK made prior to the company filing bankruptcy and their eventual closing in 2000.
If one company was the main creator of one game, the distributing company would gain the profits and not the company that licensed the characters for use (although SNK gave the rights to use the SNK characters to Capcom for the first Capcom vs. SNK game, SNK didn't profit from the game, which didn't help their financial problems). There were interviews with SNK that it would be possible to renew their contract with Capcom to make new SNK vs. Capcom games, but in another interview, both companies stated that they would not do any further collaboration with each other.
