Hey Bahn, do you have to re-register if you're already a member?
The name says it all. Shoryuken.com has launched a sister site dedicated to the online fighting game community which includes one of the most anticipated releases now available by the time you read this - Capcom vs. SNK 2: EO...
Currently there's not much up now, besides an Evolution 2 trailer and a few matchmaking forums, but eventually the site has plans to begin hosting online tournaments (how this will be organized and supervised is beyond me...)
All those who are planning to get immediately into some competition are definitely encouraged to drop over there, register and browse around.
Take me to ShoryukenLive!

On a slightly unrelated note: this was taken from one of IGN's recent articles regarding CvS2's online ranking system:

It seems that the launch of Xbox Live was timely not only for us gamers, but also for Capcom: we get the online fighting we've always yearned for, and Capcom gets to recycle their fighting games, Capcom VS SNK 2 included, for years to come. Who would've thought that the decade-old sprites of yesteryear would be found on today's 681265-bit machines. The world can be a funny place sometimes...
Capcom must've learned a lot from releasing Street Fighter games for the past ten years because when it comes to online options and features, Capcom VS SNK 2 has what counts. There's national and global play (it's about time), the ability to weed out the EO and AC (arcade control) players (thank God), and a great stats system that should be standard in every Xbox Live game. Not only can you see total rankings, but weekly and monthly rankings are also available, just like they should be. Better yet, you can even view rankings for people only on your friends list. In fighting games your number of wins can define your status in the gaming circle, so having a more accurate stats system (not like MechAssault's) is much appreciated. Thanks for thinking of the little guys, Capcom.
Alright, so the real question most of you are asking yourself is, "How does the game play online?" Well, that's a tricky question. Because I've been playing on a developer network and not Xbox Live, my experience will be somewhat misrepresentative of what the game will be like. With that disclaimer out of the way, I'd like to proudly state that the game plays flawlessly. And in a game where a fraction of a second of lag can turn the tides of battle, this is truly a monumental achievement. Well, maybe not, but whatever. It's still the first time we get to play a fighting game against an opponent in Japan as if they were sitting in our laps with the second player controller. That alone makes this game, and an Xbox Live account worth purchasing.
or bust.
Yeah, but did they fix the wackass prioities and buffers? That's what really counts here.

On the message board, there's a post about the tweaks that have gone on in this version. I don't think there was mention of priorities or buffers though, but some of the more buff characters have been toned down.
