The game, along with SSFII Turbo, is considered one of the first fighting games to popularize the now often-used ideas of super jumps, super combos, and Tech. Hit, which meant that an attempted grab or throw had been negated by the opponent. However, a player must have at least a Level 2 Gauge (about half the total bar), and while some characters simply land on their feet or recover in mid-air (like Wolverine or Omega Red), other characters escape the throw entirely and a select few can even reverse the grapple (like Iceman). Furthermore, the game was the precursor to the [[Marvel vs. Capcom]] series, with elements and characters from this game having been combined with [[Street Fighter Alpha]] to create [[X-Men vs. Street Fighter]]. Ports of Children of the Atom were later released to [[Sega Saturn]] in 1995, [[PC]] in 1997, and [[PlayStation]] in 1998.
