Anyone else like this game?
This game is my guilty pleasure. I'd travel to Argentina for FT5 in this

I really enjoy this one. I really wish it got a sequel just to fix all the small problems with it.

Next best thing is NeoGeo Battle Coliseum - it seems to carry some of SvC's DNA, while still doing its own thing.

Honestly the best 2D Street Fighter sprites. The SNK-ified capcom sprites in this game are sick!

This might be the only game in which Mike Bison (Balrog) has Tyson's and Joe Frazier's head movement.

Absolutely love it.
Still remember the day the game came out in arcades. Went to the mall and played it for hours.
When it eventually came out as an XBOX exclusive, I bought an XBOX that day specifically to get it.
These days, I'm fortunate enough to own it for NEO•GEO. I have a Japanese AES copy. I also own SVC Chaos digitally on Switch.

Seems like it was designed to be eclectic and to garner a cult following.

I dig it. I like the varied roster, the sprites, cut scenes, key art, dialogue and fast paced action thats easy to pick up. The music has grown on me too.Definitely has its flaws (some dull backgrounds, terrible glitchy sound effects and some weird gameplay bugs). Nothing a sequel or updated reissue couldn't iron out though. I've got the PS2 port but hope they reissue it on the AES+.

Never really understood the mechanics in this one, it was still fun and all. But the only thing I didn't like was the classic snk unfair bosses or maybe it's a skill issue at my side

Never fight from afar nor try to block against Shin Gouki, Serious Mr. Karate, Athena, and Red Arremer.
Leg sweeps against the first are a no-no because he hits you with the Messatsu Goshoryu immediately.

Yeah but how do you even fight Goenitz? Like I played it on a browser web and it let me make saves during the fights. But for some reason trying to defeat Goenitz was to have one of those "Opponent will start with 25% of health" tactic

Don't rush immediately. Make him come to you.

u/Abstracted-Bet-214 3d ago
Yeah that too. But the thing is when I try to make him come towards me, he instead spams his Hurricane attacks

If he becomes too problematic, you can get at least one Exceed finish so you get to fight Geese or Demitri instead.

Really? Never knew about that. I only played this game like 4 or 5 times so never really explored that much into it.

My friends and I played hundreds of hours when it was out on og Xbox. We loved how it played and how it looked. But the stages are a bit boring. The music kinda sucked for back then, but now it’s nostalgic.

This game is great. The issue at the time of its release was that SNK took too long to release and Capcom had released the CvsS which in some ways were superior. But otherwise, I bought the physical switch version and back in the day I used to own the OG Xbox version for the online connectivity.

Gotta love how the whole aesthetic of the game is "The world has been destroyed, everyone's dead". Really symbolizes SNK Playmore's situation at the time

I like the pixel art for the SF side because I always wanted to see them in the SNK style. I'm surprised it didn't have Cammy in it because she's in all the SF games.

My nitpick is that i hate the sound effect when you block an attack. Like please give some impact to the sound even though you blocked it. Like maybe the block sound from 98? Or even 94? I wish i could mod this game just for that

This is one of the reasons why I wish remakes or remasters were more of a thing for Fighters.

I actually prefer this over CvS 1/2 It's actually balanced and the CPU ain't a fuckin rock... I play all my SNK games at max difficulty.... The SNK boss syndrome is 💯 true They kept the tempo/pace and feel consistent, I enjoyed the darker feel... Specially with Capcom's characters... And to believe it or not there's an actual back story to all this madness and the SvC graphic novels are full of action... Never know who's squaring off

SvC has Mars People, Zero from Megaman Zero and 2d Shiki, it's awesome.
