I think SVC is terrible, save your 100 quid for a better fighting game. Graphically it's fine but the gameplay is awful. So many glitches, broken inputs and collisions.

You can't charge :downb: with guile. Ruins the entire game for me.

There's plenty of cool stuff in there if you dig for it though.

I'd say so. I can see the long term fun in MOTW. SVC is fun for a day with 8 drunken slobs. Hang me for it - but I've always said MOTW felt like SNK made a Capcom fighter (to my uneducated arse). If that's what you're after MOTW is the way to go. There's a character in there for everyone.

Yes you can, you just have to go from :downb: to :back: before the :forw:+:A:.

I like to have SVC Chaos around for when I have visitors that only know Capcom and won't touch anything else. Other than that, I don't play it much.

I have it on MVS and in spite of its shortcomings, I really like the game. I've heard all the reasons to hate it (so anyone out to convince me otherwise can spare me the rehash). I think you can still have a lot of fun with it and at least they were trying (Capcom Fighting Evolution, I'm looking at you).

I like its visual style and its straight forward system (kind of refreshing after the triple tag insanity of MvC2, love it as I do). Bottom line is I don't play at a high enough level to be bothered by most of the technical problems with the gameplay and, unlike most people it seems, I liked the look and feel of the game. Those SFII sprites are great. And I'd personally be waiting years for Earthquake to show up again.

However, I would encourage you to try it out (via emulation or its many ports) before spending any significant money on a Neo Geo copy. You might just hate it.

MOTW is a wonderfull game, to make a choice between that and SVC would be preposterous as they are entirely different in the sense of fighting games.

SvC is not for everyone that's for sure, but I'm not gonna bash on those that dislike it or make ignorant comments about it (this time), but keep in mind that SvC is about heated matches with the pletora of the later school fighting game engines in an old school setting.

Collisions are a problem mostly with Hugo and Geese, but once you find the rythim of the game you'll begin to understand why, the challenge is larger and to be profficient you need to be more accute with space, footsies and contorl of the fight. SvC is not about the selfconfidence that couples mainstream fighting games or better yet fluent games like MOTW, 3rdS and so on. SvC is about self reliance, you cannot depend on the engine at all, you make a mistake you will pay for it in spades and there's no such thing as safe play, because SvC is extremely unpredictable.

Those who know what I'm talking about play the game and any other game in the same manner, those who don't grasp the concept now unfortunately never will. SvC is for the folks who love the game for the intensity of the fight, not the ease of use, input forgiveness or flexible block (hit) detection. I mean think of it this way; Supercancels Galore at a cost is a high that needs to be explored in more ways than one. Not many games offer this and the ones that do are missunderstood as well.

MOTW is a superb game for veterans and newbies alike and so is SvC, the thing is how far out of the line are you willing to go?

It grows on you the more you play it. Some characters play better than others, so I have my select few I rotate through. It's technically a broken game, but you just have to learn how to work around it. It also kind of works like 3rd Strike, you have to get in close and personal before working out combos and specials.

To tell you truth mate it is sh*t, have you ever played Capcom Fighting Jam? its just the same crap only with watered down SNK Characters. I reckon save your money on a better game. You should download Winkawaks and download the SVC rom to try it out so you know if you like it or not.

If I had no other carts to buy and I really had to get it to finish off a collection, I'd then buy it but not if its too expensive.

The only good thing about that game is Goenitz and Violent Ken.

If they would have made it like the Neo Geo Pocket version.Man,Match of the Millenium is one of my fav fighters.SvC Chaos could have been way better.Most of the Capcom fighters have awesome animation(like Hugo) while some of them have horrible animation like Guile and M.Bison

Like some others have said I recommend trying out the rom before buying it.

However 100 quid sounds a bit much?

this is horse shit. i hate it when people bash good games:blow_top::hammer::very_ang::shame:. svc is the best game playmore has made ever. it may not stand in comparison to motw but, i haven't spent this much time on a snk game since kof98. it takes me back to the days. i would say it's a neo classic and a must have in your collection as a A class game.

what is it with evry one?.according to most on the webbsite, if the game is not kof 98,ffspecial,ss2,mslug 1,2,x it's not worth playing. 95% of the people here would even tell you motw is shit.then why even bother comming on the webb site?. if your a neo fan , i think it's your duty to be more optimistic about it and keep it alive.

It may very well be. Their track record hasn't exactly been stellar, but I still play and enjoy their games.

I like SVC Chaos a lot, especially because I rock my friends with Dhalsim. It's a fun game to play. However, it's not a great fighting game; when my homies and I really want to get serious we break out Alpha 2 or something. As has already been mentioned, various technical elements of SVC's game mechanic "break" the game (the collision detection and tier in particular) for any kind of "serious" (read: high-level) play -- which is why you don't see people playing it in tournaments. Just because the game can be enjoyed by somebody doesn't mean that it's "good" in terms of a balanced mechanic.

Fighting games are all about domination with skill, and any elements that disturb that ethos inherently weaken a game.

95% of the people here would even tell you motw is shit.

:lolz:

Deluding yourself about the playability of mediocre games has no bearing on whether or not you're a true "neo fan".

You seem to have confused simple facts about a video game you play as a personal attack against your tastes.

one reason i like svc chaos is that has akuma and shin akuma. but gameplay-wise i haven't played it enough to judge it.

I got to admit tho i don't mind playing with evil ken. but with any of capcom fighting games i still prefer the sf alpha series and SF 3rd strike.

my biggest gripe with SvC is probably punching through your opponents.Whats up with that?

Not sure where you got that number. There are members on here that don't go nuts for Garou, but it isn't 95 percent.

Goenads is an absolute dick. I can beat him easier with Geese, but I still think he's a cheap shit.

Playing against a friend isn't bad, because you're both at a disadvantage, it's when the computer gets all the technicalities that I get pissed.

Comparing SVC to Garou, Garou is a much better rounded game even with a few glitches here and there.

100 pounds is not a bad price? what are you fucking crazy?

Why pay that much when www.excellentcom.net in Hong Kong sells it for MUCH less under $100 USD which even if it was $100 usd you would be paying half that in pounds anyway.

You seriously ripped yourself off. It better be a fucking BRAND NEW kit.
