The phrase Versus Screen refers to the screen that appears before a 2 player battle in the Mortal Kombat games. Typically this will show a standard backdrop, a portrait of each character, some text such as "VS" and in some games the level about to be played. A code system was introduced with Mortal Kombat 3. 6 symbols across the bottom that change when certain buttons are pressed. Player 1 controls the left 3 symbols, Player 2 controls the right 3 symbols.
