I just got the french issue of arcadia with a 4 pages test of SVC chaos (this mag is made mainly by NEO fans).
Here is a fast translation and summary of the review:
Thecs. aspects:
- Power meter gets to max very fast, with two levels and a third level max mode (max mode is automatic).
- The first level gives you acces to a special move (usaly the same in KOF and Streets) with two quater circlesand P or K
- The second level gives you access to stronger special moves pressing P and K together.
- More interesting the last level: you can break ALL youre moves (normal and special), and you can create youre own combos ending them with a special move. After perfomming your super move your power meter gets to level 2!!!
- The guard Cancel Dash GCD is very simple but too strong...You can use in two ways: when blocking simply push LK and HP, it uses 50% of the power meter, or when blocking pushing twice foward ( uses less power meter) you're then invicible and can follow wiyh a combo.
- LP and Lk to catch a player.
Conter moves , recovery moves...
Negative aspects:
- SNk and CAP players aren't well balanced.
- Boss are too stong, and since you can choose them....
- Some caracters are useless.
- Only two back-grounds are realy beautiful.
- Music is horrible, sounds-effects are from the worst the Neo ever had.
- TH GCD system is cool, but too stong.
- BALANCE problemes...
- Infinite combos (a lot and easy to perform)
Positive Aspects:
- Good gameplay, responsive , fast, moves are easly made.
- A lot of combos
- Very good work making the CAP caracters in SNK style.
- FUN
Overall they give SVC the following rate:
Graph: 79%
Sound: 68%
Animation: 86%
Gameplay: 84%
Replay value: 79%
Overall: 80%
