Strider Hiryu in MSHvsSF

Strider Hiryu from Marvel vs. Capcom, playable in arcade Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, in the select-screen square that only showed a logo: his MvC code, sprites, effects, voice and sounds, his three hypers, tag, Variable Combination and Variable Counter, his name on every screen, his MvC win quotes and his MvC ending. The installer reads all of that from your own clean mvsc.zip and builds the patched set from your own clean MSHvsSF zip: mshvsf (Euro 970625, the set Fightcade plays) or mshvsfu (USA 970827).

Strider Hiryu in MSHvsSF v1 · Sep 28, 2026

Windows one-file installer. Put your clean MSHvsSF zip (mshvsf.zip or mshvsfu.zip) and your clean mvsc.zip in one folder with it, then drag both zips onto it, or double-click it. It checks every file of both zips, writes <set>_strider_v1.zip and a .receipt.json next to your MSHvsSF zip, and prints the new file's SHA-256. Your zips are not changed. Fightcade: back up Fightcade\emulator\fbneo\ROMs\mshvsf.zip, then put mshvsf_strider_v1.zip there as mshvsf.zip. On macOS or Linux, use the Python patcher in the patch package.

Put your clean mshvsf.zip (or mshvsfu.zip), your clean mvsc.zip and strider-mshvsf-v1-preview.cmd in one folder.
Drag both zips onto strider-mshvsf-v1-preview.cmd. It writes mshvsf_strider_v1.zip (named after your set) and prints its SHA-256.
Fightcade: back up emulator/fbneo/ROMs/mshvsf.zip, then put mshvsf_strider_v1.zip there as mshvsf.zip. MAME: copy it into a new folder as mshvsf.zip, add qsound_hle.zip and start it from a command prompt.

Patch-only and hash-gated: it checks every file of both zips (size, CRC32, SHA-1) and every output file (SHA-1) before it writes, refuses patched, foreign and incomplete sets, and never changes your zips. No ROM file of either game is included: Strider's sprites, sounds and code are read from your own mvsc.zip. The only Marvel vs. Capcom art in the download is two pictures the installer can't rebuild from your zip, the select-screen icon and his three ending pictures, about 24 KB. The output is stored, not deflated, so every correct output has the same SHA-256 on every machine. Checks, all diagnostic runs in cloud MAME 0.264 (unpinned): 46 of 47 input sequences act as in Marvel vs. Capcom and P2 reacts the same in all 47; blocking, tag, Variable Combination, Variable Counter, his name on every screen and his ending. In a headless build of Fightcade's FBNeo core, on both sets: fresh boot and savestates made on the original game, Strider selectable and playable. Not tested: Windows PowerShell 5.1, real Windows, Fightcade's own front end and online play, real hardware.

What changed in v1

First release. Strider Hiryu from Marvel vs. Capcom in the bottom middle square of MSHvsSF's select screen, the square that only showed a logo.
His MvC code, sprites, effects, voice and sounds, read from your own mvsc.zip; his three hypers (Ouroboros, Legion, Ragnarok); tag, Variable Combination and Variable Counter; his name on every screen, his MvC win quotes and his MvC ending.
The square is unlocked by the select-screen code itself, so a saved EEPROM or a start-up savestate can't lock it again.
Stated plainly: every gameplay check is a diagnostic run, in cloud MAME 0.264 (unpinned) or in a headless build of Fightcade's FBNeo core. Windows PowerShell 5.1, real Windows, Fightcade online play and real hardware are untested, and his audio is verified statically only.
