Guest Renegade Report post Posted May 15, 2003 I know Cavi posted a link in the E3 thread but I thought I'd give the game its own thread (I couldn't find Ceds). For the best quality video go to http://www.snk-capcom.com/. One full good quality video. First off, the game looks fast, very fast thanks to the dash system. The intro was just superb and much much better than the C vs SNK intros. From what I saw Kyo's sprite looked the best. Ryu, Quake and Tabasa looked fine but Ken's sprite looked too pale and innacurate and Ryo didnt really look any different to his Aof or even kof sprite. Sadly still no Terry footage though. And what was Mr. Karate (Takuma) doing in the intro? More characters to be announced? On the whole my hopes are very high after seeing that footage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Renegade Report post Posted May 15, 2003 Roster update: SNK: Mr Karate (Aof) Kasumi Todo (Aof) Capcom: Vega (SF) Balrog (SF) Check the updated list Kasumi and Vega are good additions (always liked Kasumi for some reason) but Blarog instead of Dudley? Thats just pure madness. As suspected Mr. Karate is in the game, and I hope he will stand out as the game is starting to look like a shoto megamix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest CED Ordonez Report post Posted May 15, 2003 Sagat's in the game, Sandman. Just haven't seen him in-game in all of his deep uppercutting glory yet. I can dig Mr. Karate if he stays in a form where he's slightly different from the other members of Team Shoto. I'm also digging the Earthquake and Tabasa redraws and hope everyone can at least come out to that caliber. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2003 I think Sagat has been in all of the Capcom vs. SNK games so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rendclaw 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2003 I think he has too, although the last game I played was the millenium battle or whatever it was back when I lived in Orlando, when i took him, Ryu and Chun-Li all the way.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2003 Last one I played was Capcom vs. SNK: EO for the Gamecube. Pretty sweet game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sandman9000 Report post Posted May 16, 2003 I don't see Sagat on the list, so I'm going to assume no until I see him. And he was in the other SVC games, but no love for him in the Marvel Crossover series. Good lord, do you know how much ass a uber-juiced Sagat would have done? I'd cream my fucking pants!

Guest CED Ordonez Report post Posted May 16, 2003 Dammit, I hate retracting one of my statements. Sagat's not there (as of yet), but I could've sworn he was one of the locks already announced. I can't help but laugh at Balrog's face. EDIT: OMG! Pouty lips! Red, white and blue attire! HE'S Mr. America!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Cavi Report post Posted May 29, 2003 I felt this news was topping thread worthy. Arcadia mag revealed four new characters today: Kim Sagat Vega (i.e. Bison here in the US) and... wait for it... GENJURO!! New pics and scans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Renegade Report post Posted May 29, 2003 GENJURO~! SAGAT~! KIM~! Fuck yeah. I'm impartial to Bison...but still very fine additions. Full page scans: Sagat and Bison Kim and Genjuro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Cavi Report post Posted May 29, 2003 So the classic four Capcom bosses are in, yet no sign of Geese or Rugal yet...hmm, they have to be in there. Well, at least one of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Renegade Report post Posted May 29, 2003 Geese has to be in the game as a boss or something, he's SNK original boss. Either way the SNK side of this game looks great (besides earthquake), but the Capcom side is way too SF2. No Alex, Ibuki or Jedah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EricMM Report post Posted May 29, 2003 How do you all anticipate this game comparing to Guilty Gear XX? If the graphics are still as sprite-tastic as they've been for years, with ryu, ken, akuma, sagat, and them all being the SAME people, how can it compare? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Cavi Report post Posted May 29, 2003 To tell you the truth, I have barely played much of the GG series. It has never really interested me, despite those high res graphics (which really should be the standard by now, yet they probably never will be). I'm a big SNK fan, and I certainly enjoy Capcom's fighters, so that is why I'm quite looking forward to this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the corner of those scans that were posted there's pics of the characters in action, but Genjuro's had a pic from one of the old Samurai Showdown games so I don't think those are SNK vs. Capcom 2 pics in the corners. The artwork is for SNK vs. Capcom 2 though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Renegade Report post Posted May 29, 2003 (edited) How do you all anticipate this game comparing to Guilty Gear XX? If the graphics are still as sprite-tastic as they've been for years, with ryu, ken, akuma, sagat, and them all being the SAME people, how can it compare? I'm not the biggest GG fan, I got a copy of GGX a while back and while it was impressive but it didnt really do much for me. High res does not mean high frame rate, not matter how lush the graphics might be. The GG games also felt quite slow to me (in control rather than visually) so I havent really touched the game since the first month of owning it, although I will borrow GGXX to see if I like it.

Either way the SNK side of this game looks great (besides earthquake), but the Capcom side is way too SF2. No Alex, Ibuki or Jedah. Why why WHY does Earthquake look like an evil clown? Hopefully he at least still has his weapon and the Fart Throw. Although at this rate, I'd have preferred Gen-an. They could have used the samn damn face and just coloured it green. It would have looked shitty, but better than this. Looks like I'm going to have to keep representing on Samurai Shodown 2 instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CED Ordonez Report post Posted May 30, 2003 Good list of names added to the roster this time around. Sagat AND Genjuro in the same game makes for a happy Ced. Personally I wish the graphic detail of GGXX was the standard of 2D fighters and the kind of pixelated graphics seen in the Capcom vs. series since CvM 2 still annoys me.

Guest Cavi Report post Posted May 30, 2003 Yeah, stuff like CvS2 and MvC2 looks horrid. I don't even want to touch those games since they look like pure crap on my Wega. Capcom is so damn lazy. I could care less about some 3D backgrounds (which aren't even that cool in the first place), since the only thing they do is make the nasty sprites even more noticeable.

Guest Renegade Report post Posted May 30, 2003 Which CvS2 are you talking about? The Dreamcast version is much less pixelated than the PS2 port. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Cavi Report post Posted May 30, 2003 The PS2 one. I think for whatever the next major title is from either Capcom or Playmore (sans SVC and maybe KOF 2003, though we are not totally sure about the SVC ones yet), all the sprites need to be redrawn.
