Yo everything about CvS is amazing. Stage intros are spectacular, and character pre-fight interactions? DID Y'ALL SEE KEN PICK UP TERRY'S HAT, TOSS IT TO HIM, AND TERRY PUT IT ON!? WE NEED BOTH OF THESE IN FUTURE CAPCOM GAMES
It's funny, Capcom vs SNK started out as a huge misunderstanding from a magazine titled "Street Fighter vs King of Fighters" in terms of both releases of SFA3 and KF98. Now it's one of the best Fighting game crossovers in gaming history.
@@jayjay-cl1eo Cause they're Umbalanced and that's not funny at all - only like 5 competitve chars among over 30... yeah, that's awesome....... Not - SNK vs CAP games have balance among many of the chars and that's quite delicious. Also watching JustLawyer vs ObjectivellyBrokenBadassWeapon X char, OR, JustJapaneseSchoolGirl char vs BrokenMutantLeaderMasterOfMagnetism, and the School Girl wins, just kill the effect of Inmersion for me, and turns into a videogame for teens and fanboys, not for adults who still love gaming culture
I like CvS1 alot it was the first game i got on my Dreamcast. It took me for ever to unlock all the Ex versions of the characters the 2 hidde bosses and all the levels.
@@orlanzo2621 i found a secret if you put it on two player and leave it for a few hrs you get 999 points lol. But yeah it still took for ever that memory card is very well taken care of.
Man I love this game, it had the coolest ost, stages, power moves with the coolest effects, and most stylish menus. I would love to see an HD remake of it.
I love how the SNK roster of this game (and the sequel to this one) is actually really diverse and put a lot of different franchises, meanwhile Capcom just put SF all over the place.... featuring Morrgian from the Darkstalkers series. They need to bring back Eagle tho
Well, the SNK side is represented by the King of Fighters series, which features characters from different series. So, it's basically Street Fighter vs. King of Fighters.
@@Langas_Konoe They may come from other series but they're still part of the KOF series. It wouldn't have existed without them. Plus, it's a much larger franchise.
@@gr8gmr so we can agree that KOF is a big franchise that compilates at least 4 smaller franchises, and in Street Fighter case, SF and some Final Fight characters, so still being more variety from SNK, besides, Samurai Showdown characters are in SvC 2 as well
Edge Yamada from Rival Schools is one of the construction workers eating lunch in the background @10:38 I also like how the construction site is right across the street from the SonSon convenience store from SFA1
king of fighters is in fact a crossover of many franchises in snk. mostly of them are fatal fury and art o fighting characters, but also characters from other games like psycho soldiers and lately samurai showdown. originally , kof was going to have samurai showdown characters but in the first game , they were more realistic with the characters despite the crossover, so many characters lore,ages and design were changed to match the kof timeline , an example were the art of fighting characters are younger (since they are way before than fatal fury and geese was younger in those games) and geese isn´t dead in the kof story ,however , samurai showdown was too old to put them in the game. nowadays , looks like they don´t care anymore.
I always like the special events like when Ken pick up Terry's hat and throws at him and Terry wears it.It's a little detail that make the games back then unique in a way.
Son Goku but KOF is already a crossover, they have several franchises that make up the series. Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, Samurai Shodown, and King of Fighters.
When is Capcom and SNK going to do a compilation of Capcom vs. SNK Pro and Capcom vs. SNK 2 on the PlayStation 4 and then bring us Capcom vs. SNK 3? I guess Xbox One and Switch too?
Don't know if you guys have noticed, but you can hear classic arcade themes in the background (SF II Sagat theme, Metro City Slums, Ryuhaku Todoh stage and Geese Ni Kissu)
Being that I hadn't grown up with the original PlayStation (but I had a PS2), this is one of the few PSX games I own (and thus one of the few reasons why I have a PSX memory card). Haven't played either this or the sequel in ages, so I might have to pop 'em after this. ♥
God damn that was one of the most satisfying Geese beat downs I have ever witnessed. Gave him bucket fulls of falling leg drops and chased him down for more assaults. Good shit Max! Keep it up
@@Clos93 No problem man, the reason i know is because i've been playing the heck outta Alpha 2 since 1996, lol. Still my favorite SF game all these years later.
@@orlanzo2621,used to have alpha 2 on snes back in the day. I remember playing it on the PS2 alpha anthology for the 1st time, and was like "holy shit!! This is WAAAAY better than the shitty snes version!!" as I never got a chance to play the arcade version growing up. I hacked it on to my snes classic anyways for memories sake.
I really like stumbling across your channel every few months and having a chill start to the weekend catching up on a few vids. I went to Japan 10 years ago almost to the day. I would have been back about a week ago. Was in Tokyo for 2 weeks. Anyway. Playing Street Fighter 4 over there in the arcade(s) was a dream. I came back with a few of the cards. They were not registered. But I got a roster card and a Ryu card. Chin Li for the Mrs (now Ex) and I think Ken for my brother. You didn't get to pick, it was a blind selection out of a machine, but that worked for me as I just got more to keep for myself. They are tucked away some where but when I next come across one I'll try and get an image or two online.
3:30 It's Ken vs. Bootleg Ken! Also, it's a damn shame Ken didn't keep the flop kick...It's a neat looking karate-style move that seems to work for him. I guess he had to pass a signature move to Sean!
The whole presentation of this game is probably the best capcom has ever done. To beat geese perfect everytime with Ken or ryu just back into a corner and jump kick everytime he jumps at you. At least for arcade and dreamcast versions.
CvS series is proof of how talented Kinu Kishimura (also Shinkiro) is. CvS1 is one of the hottest,sexiest,beautiful games ever. The art design,The music,The UI,The Stages,The character select screen, the dinamic/Special intros between fighters. I just love this game so much i´ll marry a disc of CvS. Imo CvS1 got better look and presentation and CvS2 got the better gameplay I JUST WANT FIGHTING GAMES TO BRING BACK THE SPECIAL INTROS. That shit make every fight so hype!.. GIVE ME BACK CAPCOM VS SNK 3!
If 2 have these stages, it would’ve been the greatest fighting game of all time. These stages were the best I’ve ever seen in any Capcom fighting game and it’s not even close.
The stages are incredibly beautiful in this game. Would love to see remakes of some of them in SFV. Especially that first stage with the shadows on the brick wall.
Max probably won’t. UA-cam is starting to send a lot of youtubets copyright shit now a days I think that is why he left it private so he won’t get in too a lot of trouble. Like more than half the boss rages are private even the asura’s wrath one which is hype as hell.
Interesting fact: In this crossover, the SNK artists were responsible for drawing the Capcom characters and vice-versa. That's why all of them look a little "off" compared to their main franchises.
Collections I would love for Capcom to make: Marvel vs Capcom Collection (from X-Men Children of the Atom to Marvel Vs. Capcom 2) Capcom vs SNK Bundle (Capcom vs SNK 1 and 2) Darkstalkers collection Onimusha HD Collection
I like that the two sides were distinct in this one. In CvS2 both of the main Capcom grooves had rolling, which made no sense and gave the grooves mobility they didn't need or deserve. The ratio system was a good idea that didn't pan out in execution. The R3 characters didn't feel appreciably more powerful than the R2s, and the ratios created a weird caste system that drove people away from large parts of the roster.
The over all atmosphere of the game was better thought rather than the wanna be mvc2. 3D animated backgrounds we saw in cvs2. The gameplay it’s good in 2 but the hit detection to me feels weird, specially playing the 3rd strike groove. I can go for hours. Thanks for letting me know what you guys think. Love geeking about this.
Daaaamn! Those background shadows are gorgeous.
Best stage I’ve ever seen in a Capcom fighting game and I’m not joking
Yo everything about CvS is amazing. Stage intros are spectacular, and character pre-fight interactions? DID Y'ALL SEE KEN PICK UP TERRY'S HAT, TOSS IT TO HIM, AND TERRY PUT IT ON!?
WE NEED BOTH OF THESE IN FUTURE CAPCOM GAMES
Your wish is granted!
Yes, the cinematic intros lack the magic of these special ones.
Can't wait for the Ken/Ken/Ken episode of MvC2
Billie Joe the Hedgehog me too.
Ken's gonna take you for a ride!
Billie Joe the Hedgehog TRIPLE KEN!! And MVC2 is a great game!😊
You think? He already did SFA which uses that same Ken sprite, and there are more games to cover which look different.
Billie Joe the Hedgehog MvC2 and CVS(The series) are great games
CVS 1 HAD ONE OF THE MOST SEXIEST CHARACTER SELECT SCREEN EVER.
Wonder if it's where Blazblue Cross Tag Battle got inspiration for it's character select screen lol
Are you serious? I think the character select is terrible, the floating portraits with no canvas weirdly lined up, feels amateur
hella serious
Best character select period, 3S a close 2nd
Better music and interface than CvS 2, even if the latter was better overall
It's funny, Capcom vs SNK started out as a huge misunderstanding from a magazine titled "Street Fighter vs King of Fighters" in terms of both releases of SFA3 and KF98. Now it's one of the best Fighting game crossovers in gaming history.
Easily Better than MvsC.... there i said it XD
While I agree with you, I think Marvel vs Capcom made a bigger splash than CVS
@@VixXstazosJOB I don't agree with you but I can understand why not everybody likes the hyper play style of unbalanced characters

The shadows in the background😫😫😫👌👌👌
Ken throw's Terry his cap before they fight.... DAMN i miss the old unique interactions characters used to have in fighting games.

Yes indeee, save for Nakoruru

Um.. KOF is a crossover game in itself lol
Featuring Morrigan from the Darkstalkers series
UltraZeroX7 TERRY, JOE & GEESE originated from FATAL FURY; RYO & YURI originated from ART OF FIGHTING.
I always like the special events like when Ken pick up Terry's hat and throws at him and Terry wears it.It's a little detail that make the games back then unique in a way.
Recovery frames? Geese Howard knows not of such things.
This game looks so good. I love how there was even shadows of the characters behind them on the first stage.
Gotta love how Ken tosses Terry's hat to him
Should've gone Ken & Terry.
It wouldn't work. This is a tribute to Ken in Street Fighter and in this game, he and Ryu are the only ones in Smash minus Guile who's an assisy.
Nah, its CvS legacy, man. Ken and Terry are hella bros.
Max was only waiting for me to interact with Terry as an opponent.
Team Murica!!
@@dnmstarsi Well, well, how things have changed.
Man, CVS 1 and 2 are still fantastic to look at.
That game was beautiful. And even if this is Ken's legacy it was enjoyable to see you struggle vs Geese. Predictabo!!!
This game should have been called Street Fighter vs King of Fighters.
Son Goku but KOF is already a crossover, they have several franchises that make up the series. Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, Samurai Shodown, and King of Fighters.
*The King of Street Fighters
Finally some CvS 2000 with the classic BGMs
So cool now that Terry is now is Smash!
This game is legendary
MegaTomPlays Capcom vs SNK is a MASTERPIECE.
When is Capcom and SNK going to do a compilation of Capcom vs. SNK Pro and Capcom vs. SNK 2 on the PlayStation 4 and then bring us Capcom vs. SNK 3?
I guess Xbox One and Switch too?
When SNK believes they are ready to go big again.
SNK doesn't have alot of money right now
since both fighting game series now have 3D visuals i think it would be a good fit. whenever it happens.
@@o_oro-q1k Hope we see it too
Cap on vs Snk 3 in essence is svc chaos. I doubt they do another vs game since snk kinda dropped the ball.
I wish there was a Legacy Collection of the CapcomVsSNK series
Love that dusty, sultry sky in the Thailand stage. So simple, yet so evocative.
Love how the stages are introduced, really nice decision Makin there 👌
They should make a crossover compilation game. If it comes out on the switch I would get it in a heartbeat. No bullshit
You cannot escape from Geese!!
12:50 - Extra COOL 5000 points due to Ken shouting " _Morata!_ " as he took her out.
We need this game back some way...

Along his challenging journey,Ken has gone blow for blow with a couple of universes such as Marvel,Tusunoko,and even SNK!
He shouldve been in Tatsunoko, but he wasn't. :-(
+A Game's top5 There was a Ken in that game.
That's right I forgot, "Ken The Eagle",and his signature color was red.
N now Nintendo
When he gets to 4, I hope he does ultra.
Whatever one may say about SNK, one can't deny that their soundtracks are among the coolest.
The SNK groove is so damn good, I love the art style of the characters
*S H I N P U K E N*
That over head kick that Ken had in these games was the best.
Hypest thing about this playthrough was the Ken custom intro.
Geese theme song is so fucking good
I never realized this game has so detail for being an old-school game. I also love the robotic announcer voice.

Its a miracle product from kyokushin lmao
The shadow silhouettes as they fight is a nice touch.
Shippu Jinrai Kyaku was introduced in Street Fighter 3 and also Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter which both games came out in 1997.
capcom vs snk 2 is my favorite game of all time, but i used to wake up in the middle of the night to play cvs1, damn those games were so amazing.
the dude from Samurai Shodown is Jubei Yagyu.
Ken channels his inner Sean and flop kicks his way to success
Street fighter never gets old
No seriously, when are they going to release a 'Capcom vs SNK/SNK vs Capcom' collection for the Xbox One, PS4, Switch and PC?!?
The first stage with the Shadows are amazing
I forgot how slick these stage intros were.
I'm calling it: After THIS game, Max is going to play either CVS2, 3RD STRIKE, or MVC2 for a TRIPLE KEN.
Aaaahhh dduuuhhh lol
It was this game that not only character intros were enough, they had to give stages intros as well.

Thank you
My biggest complaint about the Vs SNK series is that most of the Capcom characters are Street Fighter characters
SHAKE WELL BEFORE SERVING
This game is beautiful, and one of my fav Dreamcast games ✌🏻
Interesting fact: In this crossover, the SNK artists were responsible for drawing the Capcom characters and vice-versa. That's why all of them look a little "off" compared to their main franchises.
That "first rematch" with Geese (vs Ryu) was so epic
It’ll be awesome to get HD remakes of cvs1 and 2. And make a third already 😂. No other fighting game is as beautiful as these.
The music the characters this game was amazing...rugul and yamazaki was my favs

Ken got the Shippuu Jinraikyaku as the third of his Super Arts in the Street Fighter III series.
that overhead wheel kick.
I believe it was marvel vs. Street fighter where he first started using the shippu jinrai, then alpha 3
No the first time he used it was in sf3
Oh god I wish the good days of streetfighter games like this come back
Damn I forgot how visually beautiful that game was
MY CHILDHOOD!
This game is better than 2 in my opinion.
As far as presentation goes, yes. Gameplay wise, 2 by far.
Yep, in cvs2, SNK chars feel so weak.
Roughly SKTCH
