SNK redesigned all the CAPCOM characters, thus giving them more personality. Let's look at some characters:

1. Guile- His hair is bigger making look better.

2. Dhalsim- They made his hand stretching look like a rubber band. Definitely a good idea. He should have always been like this.

3. Ryu & Ken- Made them look like their SF2 selves again. Another great idea.

4. Hugo- Making him look extremely big, thus ensuring that he will always be recognized.

5. Sagat- They gave him a more manacing hunch back looking style of Muay Thai.

As you guys can see little things that SNK did to CAPCOM characters really add more dimension to them. It is like your playing these characters for the first time. Anyone else agree with me on this?

I agree! Im loving the old school ken and ryu look and guile=awesome.

edit: now if only they could do the same with the snk character's

plus It's playmore that's redisgning the characters not (dead)snk.

Yeah they rock.

Not like Capcom did to the SNK characters.
They completely fucked up Kyo, Iori and Raiden.
Not only they look worse but also they're slow as shit. :mad:

When I see Raiden...Let's just put it this way...
I have never and will never play CvsS2..
The way Raiden was depicted makes me wish he was never included in the game. He looks like some masked,dumpy clown! The voice is horrible too!! Very disappointed in the Raiden incarnation!

I'm glad many of you agree. Playmore did a great job on the CAPCOM characters, too bad the same can't be said with the SNK characters. frown

I like the design on the SNK side, I mean look at Shiki for pete's sake and look a Bison/Balrog, leave it to Playmore to bring something new to the boxer Capcom refuses to "touch-up"

Cool renditions of the Capcom characters... I can understand with the grievances some of the SNK characters received in CvS1&2 but I think they never looked better!!! (I hope it's not only me!)... Ryu and Ken looked good in CvS1&2 as well... They're taller and not midgety like in SFA1-3... Can't complain much with their Capcom and SNK renditions... I'm just glad Demitri's there and Chun-li's sprite is like the SF3 version!!!... Tabasa/Tessa looks kinda huge too, no?

Being a Capcom kid at heart (one can love both can't they?) I was a bit hesitant about Ryu & Ken's designs, but they came out good. Guile...well, I never play as him anyway so I couldn't care less about the coffee table hair. Dhalsim looks great, as does Chun-Li. Hugo may be a bit too huge, but I guess they had to have a clash of the titans with him and Earthquake. The new SNK stuff looks awesome also, and I can't complain about the KOF vets since we've been using them all these years anyway so what's new.
Overall I don't really have a bad thing to say about this game as I'm looking forward to it like no other. Any complaint about characters from me is simply shallow nit-picking.

All of the Capcom characters look fantastic, big kudos to Playmore for that aspect of the game.

As long as Chun-Li doesn't have those obscenely muscular legs that Capcom always seems to want to give her, I'm sold!

I got chewed out on another board for this, but I really like the more classic-looking sprites. They're more detailed and alot less bulky.

And one of the first Balrog/Vega sprites I see is.... Hugo stomping on his head.

NOT COOL. very_ang

And they have given Takuma back his Tengu mask.#

Hell can´t wait for the stunning Mr.Karate/Gouki matches.

What? SNK's turn to weaken Capcom characters??? What'cha talkin' about???... Everybody in CvS2 are weak as pussies (as in pussy cats)... Sakura couldn't suck more in CvS2... hmmm... That didn't sound as good as I thought it would be...

Sakura A groove is considered top tier. Who's Sakura you be playing?

Edit: Groove, not Ism - too much Alpha 3 for me.

I play Sakura in C or N groove.... But prefer C most only because of the air block... Except for Kyo, Chun-li, and Maki, I gotta have air block for most other fighters... I really hate Sakura's fireball in CvS2... Yeah it connects, yeah it's powerful, but I love her Alpha fireball!!!... Iori and Geese were harder for me to play in CvS2... Rock vs. Kyosuke... Classic!
