Snk and Capcom Trade Franchise

Knatty Dreadnok · May 8, 2004

Anybody think it would be cool if companies like SNK and CAPCOM got together and made deals like in sports to SALE/TRADE the rights to some of their players/fighters. Might as well since Capcom has virtually abandoned the 2D genre and SNK doesn't use 85 to 90% of it's overall fighters anyway.

Maybe it will be MORE incentive to use new/different talent on the farm.

Example:

1) SNK paid an undisclosed amount of money for the rights to Guy.

2) Capcom wanted to trade somebody like Guile or Ken for another SNK fighter???

3) Or either company bought out the others franchise fighter.

4) Or several key or quality players for a franchise player.

Various Roster Choices

Kyo for Ryu
Takuma for Gouki
Ken for Joe
Andy for Guile
Marco Rodriguez, Andy Bogard, Krauser for Ryu.

P.S.
I'm not saying I agree to these trades they're just an EXAMPLE! I know alot of DIE-HARD fans may dis-approve but I'd welcome a much needed change. Anyway, it's just an idea.

No more Capcom characters stinking up SNK's fighters. Capcom guys all suck. Sounds so noobish but Capcom has like 1 guy and they turned him into like 10 guys.

Too many new topics in a short period of time from a newer member often gets the old timers mad at you... seen it happen a bunch of times even in the short time I've been here. It's been so slow here the last couple of weeks though, maybe a couple of people will attack out of habbit, but you should be fine.

About trading franchises, I don't think it's such a hot idea in general, but I'd love to see SNK's take on the rest of the Darkstalkers characters. Their Demitri was completely different than Capcom's.

Yeah, the SNK Demitri did kick the Capcom versions ass. Maybe they could actually do something with Morrigan. She looks horrible in CvS. That was probably what they were going for, the retro look.

Look at Heavy D! on that sig. He would kick M. Bison's ass so hard!

Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. I thought SNK's Demitri waws cool, but no way did it "kick the Capcom version's ass". The Vampire series are some of the most beautiful 2D fighters ever made. I'd love to see what SNK could do with the rest of the characters, but no way could they ever replace the originals. In general, I prefer many of SNK's fighters to Capcom's, but that doesn't mean Capcom doesn't have some great games. Why the hate?

Because they poisoned me with 10+ version of Street Fighter 2.

You are retarded.

No, he has a point. Ken and Ryu started it all. Fine. Then you've got Gouki, Dan, Sean, Evil Ryu, and Sakura.

Hello? I mean, wtf is going on here. Sure, Sakura is different, as are most of them... but just barely. Think about Guile, and make him into a ton of different guys. It gets pretty gay. We've got Guile and Charlie (which is fine, because before they even made him, Charlie was in the story line... so it makes sense that they're somewhat close). If we kept making charging backflipping fireball characters, it gets gay. Thank god that Ash was SNK, otherwise there'd be another thing to yell at Capcom about... speaking of gay. heh

But, on the flip side, I guess fireball uppercutters are popular. The noobs choice, as it were. Hell, lord knows we've got a lot of that style on SNK's side, too.

At the end of the day, I do agree. Capcom needs to make more original ideas and characters, and not the same ones over and over. Do you think that Capcom would ever be able to come up with characters like the New Face team (97), Seth, Ramon, Vanessa, or the Kim bros? Hell no. If they don't shoot fireballs and uppercut, then that's just too advanced for Capcom's people to make.

wow, I really rambled there.

He might have a point, but he's still a retard.

There's been plenty of new characters by Capcom (well not new, but you know..). You make it seem like all they do is make shotos. What about every new character except Sean in SF3. Well, Remy plays like Guile, but that's because the game doesn't have Guile or Charlie.

The 4 new characters in SSF2 were all pretty badass too, especially Cammy.

i'd like to see a Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari fighitng made by SNK instead... Kunio would rock as a KOF-ish char...

Capcom charecters usually suck but not guile he is the coolest capcom character ever

rsnd · May 15, 2004

I disagree with in some points. Like Sean, Akuma and Sakura are a copy & paste job of Ryu & Ken. Those characters like the same moves, that it! Sean, Akuma and Saruka each with there own personally and persona. That makes them their own characters. I'm not saying that there weren't influence by Ryu & Ken but their different enough to be new characters.

Also, Out of all the companys out there, Capcom has more original characters (as far as fighting games go). Anyway, nothing is original anymore. The best thing Capcom can do is take something that's already there and make it better than the rest.

Chemmy? Chim Cheminey Chim Cheminey Chim Chim Charoo?

Well, while we're on copy/paste characters, I'm gonna' run with this and say you meant Cammy. You also have Juni and Julie....not quite the same as comparing Ryu to Sakura. But, it is the same principle. ...just that Juni and Julie didn't really have personalities on their own.

I just thank gooness that the Alpha 3 stories can't be cannon.
