Capcom's sprites aren't necessarily bad, but IMO, they look horrible when compared to SNK's sprites. The look much flatter and are very choppily animated (compare Rock's CvS2 and MOTW sprites for proof), even compared to the more Capcomish style Real Bout sprites, look quite generic, and for some reason they all have huge feet.

If they were done in 3rd Strike Style, then I'd appreciate it more, but otherwise, pffft.

STK: It's not that Geese doesn't look good, it's just that he no longer fits perfectly with the other characters... That's what bothers me.

Fygee: I understand your point, but comparing CvS 2 Rock to MotW Rock is just like comparing SvC Chaos Ryu with SF3 Ryu... Not really fair, I think.

I don't really see what's unfair about it. You stated that you thought Capcom's sprites were better than SNK's in terms of their interpretations, and I was just giving a good example of why I think SNK's are better in comparison.

Once companies set a new standard, they shouldn't just regress into previous quality standards. Likewise, the SNK renditions of the Capcom characters, which looked might stellar IMO, still should've all had the same 3rd Strike, MOTW animation quality. Oh well, at least Dhalsim got some loving in that regard.

He's talking about the amount of char. Not enough ram for great sprites in cvs2. sf3 less chars great sprites just like mark of the wolves.

I think it is unfair because...

-MotW is a game that concentrates mainly on quality, not quantity, when it comes to characters. "Only" 14 characters.
-CvS 2 has shit loads of characters, so of course, they're not going to look nearly as good as in MotW... (however, MotW sprites are smaller)

That's why I brought up SvC Chaos and SF3. Because you could do the exact same comparison in this case... SF3 sprites are bigger, animate much better, etc. than SvC Chaos sprites.
Both games don't try to achieve the same thing, quite simply...

What would be more "fair" would be to compare CvS1/2 to SvC Chaos, and SF3 to MotW.
I hope you get my point now.

Edit: Yes, that's exactly what I meant, materia.

Fygee may also have been talking about the "look" of Rock, as in he looks like he has '80's soccer mom' shoulder pads in his jacket in CVS2. Actually, I thought he looked pretty stupid in MotW, but he looks marginally worse in CVS2.

I don't like the look of a few of the SNK characters in CVS2 (Terry, Ryo, and Rock, mostly...the rest are fine), but that has nothing to do with me not enjoying the game. What keeps me away from it is mostly A Groove (when playing with others) and the manic circus music.

Crazilly enough though, after this thread, I feel like giving CVS2 another chance. If I can turn the music all the way down in the options, but keep the SFX, maybe I'll stick with it for a while. Or maybe like SFEX3, I'll play it for a couple days and decide I really do hate it after all.

HELLO?

Good lord, shut up about this crap already. :angry:

This thread started as "Neo Geo Battle Coliseum" and turned into "SpritesX versus SpritesY", "Capcom vs SNK" and "King of the Fanboys 2004".

Sheesh.

Let's PLEASE get back on topic? :mad:

I was being serious!
The game has so much potential, so much that could be discussed about it, and here we are ranting about sprites that look good or bad, and how capcom did this or SNK did that.

I am eager to know how the Tag Team feature will work: Kizuna-Style? Xmen vs SF-Style? Something new?

Try to picture the possibilities! Perhaps even dual supers!

No offence to you, but that's why people are talking about the different sprites. They're talking about what they would like to see vs. styles they would not like to see, and why.

What's going to happen when people start talking about how they "love the tagging in KOF '03", or "the tagging in MVC sucks"? You going to tell them to get on topic again? All we have until Sept. 2 is speculation, and right now people are speculating on character sprites. In a week and a half or so, we'll probably start to see screenshots, and we'll go from there.

I'm just glad people aren't saying "it's going to suck" without even seeing it, yet.

this game is gonna SUCK!!!! :mr_t:

It sounds cool. But it also kinda sounds like KOF. But SNKP will probably stick in some characters that KOF cant have (time line wise). Like Last blade and SS fighters. That would be kinda neat. Plus the 2 on 2 fighting sounds interesting.

Ryo and Robert were my favorite duo to play in that game. The AoF characters coming back for another fight is always a welcome sight.
