Adding to the glut of recent polls...
Capcom: Street Fighter 2, Street Fighter Alpha, Street Fighter 3, Darkstalkers, MvsC, CvsSnk, and Rival Schools among many others.
Snk: KOF, Samurai Showdown, Last Blade, Match of the Millenium, and Mark of the Wolves among many others.
Whats your pick?
Capcom.
i voted Capcom...
although i love Last Blade 2, Garou, and KoF...i find myself enjoying the play style of Third Strike, CvS, Vampire, and MvC2 more...
this was really really hard and i had to go with Capcom simply because ill play my capcom fighters more than i will my SNK ones
and that was the only way i could decided
Capcom vs Snk series is my favorite fighting series because it's the best of both worlds. I'll have to go with Capcom just because I'm use to their fighting style. I'm not a fighter guru, but I know if I was, I'd choose SNK because it requires more skill to pull off the moves.
i like SNK fighters more. although i do love Capcom fighters, and i do think they make better fighters (just because of Third Strike).
haven't spent much time with Garou though, so i guess that could change.
still, love them both, but have more fun with SNK fighters.
I've always been a bit more of an SNK person myself, though I'm the first to admit that I am not a super hardcore fighting game fan and that I love Capcom a lot as well. I own plenty and enjoy them a lot, but I've only started playing fighters regularly w/ the DC and have had to play catch up to my friends who are figter pros. For years, I played everything else under the sun, but only dabbled in fighters. However, KOF 96 and I clicked for some reason. I've dug SNK ever since (Last Blade 2 is my new fighter obsession.) Still I love capcom fighters and even I fondly remember the first time playing SF 2 at an arcade when it first came out.
That's one thing I still haven't decided.
Even though I sided with Capcom, I do have to admit that SNK is a better fighter company than Capcom. They have better character designs and better stories. One of my favorite SNK characters is Rock just because he's Geese's son, but raised by Terry. That by itself is much cooler than any Capcom character background .
If not for Match of the Millenium, this would've been a tough choice. SNK.
I've always liked Capcom fighters more. I've owned many SNK fighters, and for whatever reason, there's something about them that doesn't make them as good as Capcom's. Dunno what, though.
While I can't knock Capcom' design skills, I've gotta vote for SNK. They've always taken whatever Capcom's done, then made it one better. their games are also alot faster (with the exception of the vs series) I also like their characters ALOT more. I just wish they'd give up on the Neo Geo. If Arc can make GGX look that good on Naomi, can you imagine what Eolith could do with Naomi 2?
Although I really like Capcom's characters, and they basically created 2D fighters as we know them today, I gotta vote for SNK. SNK has more style and better stories (not that they really matter too much in fighters) than Capcom ever has, I think...
Edit - But on a whole, Capcom > SNK.
yeah, I'm throwing my vote in with SNK as well, or I planned to, but apparently, I already voted in this poll, so I have no idea what the hell is going on.
I tend to think Street Fighter is Capcom's main competition with. . .SNK, but there is much more variety to me on SNK's side, and the fact that I spent most of my time playing SNK fighters because of the lines for street fighter didn't help. If we're going the "best series" route, it'd be a tougher choice, but as it is.
plus, I actually enjoy using SNK characters. seems to be bit more variety in play styles.
SNK.
For instance, when SNK made a SNK vs capcom title on the little NGPC, it was great. With the power of an arcade board(cp32?), Capcom couldn't even match SNK's efforts with capcom vs snk. Just an example of why I prefer SNK.
I'd have to give my vote to Capcom. I'm not a fighting game fanatic, like some of you, but some of my favorite fighting games of all time, are from Capcom. Personnal favorites include Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Night Warriors, Vampire Savior: The Lord of Vampire, Street Fighter Alpha series, X-Men: Children of the Atom, Marvel Super Heroes, Street Fighter III: Double Impact and Cyberbots.
The only SNK fighters I own are:
Mark of the Wolves, Last Blade 2, and King of Fighters: Evolution.
Well, I love both Capcom and SNK, and enjoy games done by both companies, I would have to go with Capcom here. I just love their games little bit more.
Hmm..a very hard choice. Although I like Rival Schools and the Pre-MvC VS.s and VS. style games(MSH,XMCotA), this is pretty much the SF series vs. SNK....still a hard choice...
This again?
...still Capcom.
Capcom. I haven't liked actually playing any of KoF until 2001 (the game, not the year), though enjoy the story and character designs, it's always seemed to me like SNK never really bothered to actually change the underlying gameplay until Capcom did (in terms of Street Fighter and King of Fighters). Whatever Capcom did, SNK copied, and that showed to me which was the better game in their main series. Well, that and actually playing them.
SNK: I was never big into Samurai Showdown, but have never played it for more then a few matches, so I really can't comment on it. I highly enjoyed what I played of Last Blade 2, but don't own it and haven't really delved into it. G:MotW was a great step forward, but again felt like they waited to see what Capcom would do and ripped off ideas to incorperate. They need a little gumption of their own, I would guess.
Capcom: Rival Schools and Project Justice are friggin' awesome, I love their style, the story, the hysterical oddities and sheer randomness of the whole situation (it's like a combination of SNK story-writing, Capcom gameplay, and over-the-top mechanics) that I can't help but love. And they've made the best mech fighting games ever, CyberBots and Tech Romancer. Not to mention the greatest fighting game ever, SFIII:TS. And when you toss in Vampire to the pot, which has the most charisma in any fighting game and some of the best Supers ever, I can't help but pick Capcom.
Of course, my choice here is admittedly lop-sided due to my fairly low knowledge of SNK fighters in comparision, so take that as you will.
The first Guilty Gear was credited to "Team Neo Blood". I assume that these same fellows worked on GGX and GGXX but integrated under the Arc name instead.Quote:

Back On Topic, though:
Capcom makes better PLAYING fighters. SNK fighters have better STYLE.
I love 'em both to death.
But I choose Capcom.
Capcom by a smidge.
If you really get into the SF series, and the KoF series, you'll find that they both have there own little quirks that make both of the series fun.
Overall I think Capcom puts out a more polished package, with slighty tighter feeling gameplay.
Capcom all the way, is all about perfection (3rd Strike)
I'm hardly a connesuer of the genre, but I favor SNK. I never got into King of Fighters, but Garou is nothing less than a masterpeice, and I also really love Last Blade and SamSho.
