The character select screen shows the X-Matching counterpartings from the top four Good guys and top foru bad dudes at the Northeast, Southwest, Northwest, and Southeeast part of the screem

CharSelectOptrions.jpg

on the NW:

Ryu, Ken, Guile, Sagat (ooh no longer ranks with the bosses)

opposite the SE side:
M.Bison, AKUMA (Shrunk below Bison), Eagle (I think because it's not vega...No mask), Balrog.

And their Rivals
Geese, Rugal, Yamazaki, )I don't know who is that fourth character (I DID wish Krauser owned the sopt though)

so it makes

Ryu vs Kyo
Iori vs Ken
Ryo vs Guile
Terry vs Sagat (Huh?)

and for the bad dudes..

M.Bison vs Geese
RUGAL VS AKUMA!! (MUHAHAHA THE RIGHTFUL RIVAL!)
Yamazaki vs Eagle (?)
??? vs Balrog.

Kyo, Iori, Ryo, and Terry

on the SW we have:

Rugal 3:16: The man who's between Akuma and Barlog is Vega without his mask.

Eagle has a mustache, Vega doesn't

So Eagle's one of the hidden shadows

Kim's the guy between Sagat and Yamazaki. And Terry and Ryu have a new intro. I think..

That last guy, next to Yamazaki, is actually Kim. <IMG SRC="smilies/confused.gif" border="0">

Odd choice to put there...

Hmmm...Kyo's still Ryu's counterpart?! While it doesn't bother me who rivals Ryu, I'm sure all the Terry fans are going to be pissed. Did Terry and Ryu at least get a special intro together this time?

Why would they they have NO intrest in each other at all.

Ryu is the CAP side mascot.
Kyo is the SNK side mascot.

It should be:

Ryu vs Terry
Ken vs Kyo

Cardfighters Clash went for this angle, and I preferred it.

I see Leona and Deejay Just by making out the shadows.

Deejay is next to E. Honda. Hibiki is next to Athena(I can tell by what looks like a hairpiece). Eagle is betwwen Zangief and Yun next toAnd that looks like Leona next to Todoh. I know Joe and Dan might be two of the shadows too. I noticed that Chang and Rock are missing so in general it looks like the shadows are

SNK:
Joe
Leona
Chang
Rock
Hibiki
maybe Andy

Capcom
Deejay
Dan
looks like Elena

I'm guessing that's her between Morrigan and Maki. Not immedietly obvious, but it's her.

Wonder if they'll finally include Gill and Orochi as hidden bosses? But I guess it's fair to say that Dan and Joe are sure bets since they were the additions in CvS Pro... other than them, let's just see what other surprises CvS 2 has in store.

BTW, if ever Evil Ryu and Orochi Iori are still in the roster, will they still be the rivals like in CvS 1? I dunno...

To be totally honest, I don't think that Geese and Bison are that well matched. Bison is a dictator/Terrorist and Geese is just trying to take over all of South Town..... Bison's rival should be Rugal and Geese's rival should be...... damn Capcom only making 3 boss characters!

I think Geese/Sagat makes sense. Both are bosses of older games, both had their asses seriously kicked already, and both are scared.

Terry and Ryu are somewhat same storywise...
cept Terry actually learns more moves =P

Kyo wouldnt be one to fight Ryu... Kyo likes to show off, be lazy, which is why him fighting Ken would be more appropraite.

the character selection screen has nothing to do with a characer's counterparts. Going by selection screen logic, Zangief's counterpart would be Benimaru and Dhalsim's would be King.

Ryu is Capcoms flagship character, but Terry is the flag ship character for SNK. Even though Kyo is the main character in KOF...Terry is SNK's Ryu...And Kyo's personality and such fits more to Ken's, besides Ken has flames to more of his moves, it could be interesting...

besides i dont think the screen has anything to do with who is rivals...just some people threw it together...as you could find from selecting Iori in the first one...only capcom character to have any type of rivalary with Iori was Bison(Vega)...Iori didn't match up with anyone, i think he was where he was just to be next to kyo....
