Capcom is taking over SNK's fighting heritage and its future

I had ignored the Cap V SNK series after the first one on DC was so poor.

NOw I find out from reading the reviews for Capcom V SNK 2 that capcom V snk 2 put right a lot of moves and gameplay faults, whilst adding SNK characters like haoumaru,Rock,eagle and Todo and last blade characters, to create a whole new level of dreammatches.

I also see that there are several big threads devoted to new character line ups in cap v snk 3.And that once again people are calling for neglected snk characters to be included in a new game.

If most these characters are put in over time, it will be pretty amazing to behold, all in contrast to KOF which has had a pretty strict line up for the last 5 years

So this makes me think, while Capcom are being innovative in including these neglected SNK characters into Capcom V SNK games......maybe this series will now outlive KOF in interest, imagination and popularity amongst hardcore 2d beat em up fans??

This isnt neccasarily what I beleive, but its a point worth discussing right???


Personally I have always thought that at some point SNK should have created a B list KOF, 1998 would have been a perfect time...where a completely new roster, redrawn was put in.With teams from World heroes,,Kizuna encounter, and Last blade, burning fight, and samurai shodown.With a few cameos from karnov revenge and ADK

Such a game would have been sensational to those who liked other SNK characters, and this series should have been allowed to grow and be hyped seperatly to the "real" KOF........that way, we might not face capcom potentially "raping" SNK's previous fighter heritage in its Cap V SNK series.

move this to the capcom vs snk forum.

Youve been here 2 months and already your a self appointed mod??

I think if there is a CvS 3, they should put in the old school characters like Cheng Sinzan, Tung Fu Rue,
Laurence Blood,Wolfgang Krauser etc.

Well I am all for SNK vs Capcom to rock the world in a few months. I really hope the MVS version, well being graphically inferior, will play so well that it becomes the champ. If SNK vs Capcom MVS is anything like the Pocket version... we are going to see a major shift in the waters against CvsS. My only question, what will Playmore do to help keep confusion down between the game. I mean, if SNK vs Capcom is in the same arcade as Capcom vs SNK 2, what is going to keep people from thinking SvC isn't the first game and just play CvsS2?

my only concern is that snk vs capcom will be KOF with capcom characters..which i absolutly do not want..i would like to see an original engine..original sprites (at least 75% of them)

i think players of cvs2 are smart enuf to know that svc is not the first in the series..if not..they shouldent be playing

I wouldnt be suprised if any day now Bob wilson appears in a capcom v snk game

Hmm... if SNK took the time and effort to do up SvC NGPC to perfection (which they did, IMO, BTW), then wouldn't it stand to reason that Playmore (same company, diff. name, most of the same talent) would take the extra time and effort to do up SvC MVS the same way?

Maybe that's why it's taken so long. Either way, I'll not count it out just yet.

And as for WH charas appearing, I say hells yeah! Thay've been FAR too long in retirement, really. Oh, the hell with it- just so long as Fuuma's in there, what do I care? Whee!- Fire Ball Slug Trick, cheesy-ass double-jump into EnRyuHa... ah, the memories... bring it on...!
