I've heard a lot of people say that this game gives Capcom characters an edge over SNK characters. But here's something that I haven't seen anyone mention. What about using only four buttons for punhes and kicks?
This is the setup that KoF has used since the beginning, but Street Fighter has *never* used until MvC2. I think this is more important than it was in MvC2 anyway, as CvS is a more skill-oriented game, while MvC2 relies more on flash.
Street Fighter vets have to learn a whole new set of combos, using a very different system. Any combo that previously included a mid punh or kick has to be redesigned, or (in most cases) forgotten.
On the other hand, KoF vets are using the system they are familiar with. Sure you can argue that the SNK characters aren't exactly the same as they were in KoF. Still, KoF vets have the upper hand when it comes to dealing out the combos simply because they are already familiar with the four-button layout.
By the way, I realize that I may have a Capcom bias. But that's no reason to dismiss my arguments, and it sure as hell isn't a reason to start flaming me. I am a fan of both comanies and I do own a Neo Geo.
Curious as to what you think of this.
