    Love how Demetri got a complete re-draw and not just pasted from Darkstalkers. What makes this game awesome is how the Capcom characters got the SNK touch - and we know, snk has a way of making their characters look menacing

  • @Stroggoii
    @Stroggoii 4 роки тому +87

    SNK's death and rebirth clearly shows that sometimes, maybe a lot of the time, the employees and owners aren't the reason companies crumble. But the high management who're more worried about filling their pockets by selling the company than making the company work as they were hired to.

  • @javierortiz82

    SNK was very respectful with the way they treated Capcom's IP, the sprites are beautiful, specially Chun Li's, who is very stylish in this game. This was the last time we had a Ryu that looked like a proportionate human instead of a giantism patient made of 400 kg of muscle and a head the size of a pea.
    Funny enough, the worst sprites in the game are Athena's, who looks as if she came from an atari 2600 game, with no shades at all, just plain white color and yellow eyes. The scenarios were very bland, boring and lifeless, which is a shame coming from the same people that made the scenarios of the fantastic Garou Mark Of The Wolves.
    The gameplay however was a bit stiff, just as in Capcom Vs SNK, which is a result, I think, of the difficulty of balancing the signature gameplay quirks of each company. The frantic and pressure focused style of KOF would've destroyed the Capcom characters that are designed for a more deliberate ground control, so SNK had to tone down the agility of the combat to please the Street Fighter fans while preserving their identity.
    It's a comendable effort and hopefully we will see a new Capcom vs SNK in the near future, considering both companies are currently on a great roll.

      I disagree with the stiff gameplay part. It is not due balance, cause the Alpha series(mainly the third installment of the series) being as much or even more complex and pressure based as any KOF game.
      This masterpiece would've been the pinnacle of fighting game, if it was made by 96~98 SNK...

      Luis Debnath it would have been interesting if Ryu and Ken and their Street Fighter ilk could roll, run, and hop, hyper hop, and super jump as a real ADV KOF’98 gameplay speed. Capcom vs SNK 2 did an okay job with giving SNK characters, Capcom type Street Fighter gameplay, but the medium attacks of SNK characters (strong, forward) lacked a lot of combo ability. They were just pokes.

    Serious Mr. Karate is actually canon. The first time Takuma used the Mr. Karate alias was when he was being blackmailed by Geese Howard and forced to work as his enforcer. He did so using the Mr. Karate alias, and was the last boss of the first Art of Fighting. The persona became more of a joke after he was defeated and freed from Geese. So the (regular) final boss for SNK's side of SVC Chaos was basically AoF1's final boss (who was NOTORIOUSLY hard).

      "Ahead of it's time" is so misused and over used. This game used pretty much the same fight system from KOF 2002 but in 2003. How is that ahead of its time? SVC Chaos looked and felt outdated when it was released. It was stiff, sluggish and slow. It was poorly received because of it. Compared to Capcom Vs SNK 2 which was released in 2001 with a fight system that feels smooth, fast and crisp and it still feels that way now. SVC Chaos gets worse with age.

Getting your foot in the door as a content creator in an ocean full of content creators, it's next to impossible to garner an audience.

      @@andrewortiz9226 Because the NeoGeo was a much more sensible purchasing investment when you consider that one machine outlasted the CPS-1, CPS2, CPS-3, and NAOMI and just required an update to the marquee and a new cartridge to swap between games from as far back as 1990 to as late as 2003, making it far more appealing to the arcades of lower income areas in Latin America compared to the bigger budget Capcom and Acclaim dominating US arcades. Paying the equivalent of a few hundred US dollars for a brand new game makes a lot more sense than a few thousand if you can get away with it.
      To be honest though, even as an American who grew up with Street Fighter Alpha, 3, Darkstalkers, and MvC2, I honestly nowadays just find SNK's fighters to be more fun. Real Bout 2, Garou, and KoF 2002 are really something special.

    Sf2 will always be my favourite fighting game, it's so iconic and playable throughout the years from the arcade, to the 16 bit consoles right up to the collections on modern machines. However I always thought that snk's fighters and character designs were a bit more cooler, alternative and maybe baddass for want of a better term. A bit like comparing pop music of the 90's to grunge and alternative rock.

    Actually the Grand Front Step, Gaurd Blowback and Hard Knockdown Throw don't consume a full bar of meter. Its actually something like 1/8th of meter.
    Also the game has a Cancel mechanic as well, but it can only be done when the power meter reaches "Maximum". You can cancel specials into other specials or specials into supers.
    HK+LP or forward+forward on block is the Grand Front Step
    LP+LK or HP+HK are the Hard Knockdown Throw
    LP+LK when normal thrown before you hit the ground is air recovery
    HP+HK on block is the Gaurd Blowback and works like a CD attack in KOF but doesn't do any damage

    The art and roster of SVC Chaos were outstanding. I thought the sprites looked WAY better than the CVS titles. A shame the game wasn't more popular, but that's probably heavily influenced by the actual mechanics not being fantastic. I was personally especially fond of Serious Mr. Karate, and I loved the inclusion of Dimitri, Tessa, and Zero.

    I enjoy playing SVC Chaos for the novelty value but it def feels rushed, even compared to early KoF games. Athena is great though, and mega OP :)
    Cool to know it’s quite an achievement this game was ever made.

  • @etrotm12thebluewolf15
    @etrotm12thebluewolf15 4 роки тому +1

    To me this game is awesome! I actually like this more than Capcom VS SNK 1 and 2 mainly due to the graphics style reminiscing that of the KOF games (Particularly like you said, KOF 2002) And honestly, i like the roster choices in here as well. Although its still mainly SNK VS Street Fighter 2 (Like all the other basically), we at least got too see more Capcom characters, like Dimitri, Tessa/Tsubasa, Red Arremer/Firebrand (By the way, the BEST design for Firebrand I have ever seen to this day), Andre the Giant (Hugo of course), and most importantly, MegaMan/Rockman Zero (Also called Alpha in Japan). Better to have at least one Rockman rep in the SNK VS Capcom series than none because i feel Rockman should have been included somewhere somehow.
    And I also like it because of how the game feels and plays in contrast to Capcom VS SNK. It just plays like a KOF game and me liking the KOF series it was a great time playing this. I just play SVC Chaos like i play KOF (only without the dodging, rolling, running, and blow backs) just like i play Capcom VS SNK 1 and 2 like I play Street Fighter. I feel those who dont like this or prefer this may not only be due to graphical comparison, but also just subjective preference in gameplay. I dont think the game is perfect by any means especially given that characters in the SVC Chaos roster arent balanced well (Goenitz in example), but this is a solid fighter worth playing especially for those who like the KOF series.
    I just feel this game is kinda unfairly looked down and wasnt given a more fair chance by the general audience just because it was a new and anticipated crossover on older hardware. Yes theres no denying the Naomi and Dreamcast have more graphical power so they can produce more advanced visuals, but i dont think graphics alone is what make a game good or better, but the aesthetics or content, the feeling of the game, execution (which could have been better but given SNK's financial situation of course), mechanics, and replay value is what makes a game good or better. Especially when it comes to fighting games. Then worry about the graphics. You just dont wanna game to go through another Marvel VS Capcom Infinite situation where the game had a focus on the graphics (and online but thats irrelevant in this case) and then it wounds up flopping due to lack of things i mentioned before. Other than that take what i say with a grain of salt for this is just an opinion of mine.

    Not everyone who plays fighting games is hardcore. Some of us just enjoy the lore and artwork. While the gameplay in CVS2 is excellent. The cookie cutter sprites and stupid backgrounds are unsightly today. You could take any screenshot of SVC Chaos even today and still be impressed at its timeless beauty. To each their own, but the games are equally matched. The same can be said of CVS1 against the NGPC version. That pocket fighter is a masterpiece.

  • @Rei_Tatekei
    @Rei_Tatekei 4 роки тому +3

    It def has an interesting roster choice with the SamSho characters, Demitri, and Zero but it's a step down from CvS and even Neo Geo Pocket game. Gameplay should have straight up been KOF style, with multiple jumps, run instead of dash, close HP/HK for throw instead of LP+LK (and whiffing throws drains meter dafaq), and max mode should have been more KOF 2002 style instead of it automatically activating when you get a full bar. They were trying to appeal to SF players with those gameplay mechanics plus the 1-on-1 fighting but they were already turned off by the 4 buttons.
