So much for the hopes of a high-animation, high-res comeback for SNK. Like most their games, the system should be pretty solid, but it looks like a step-down from SF3, around MotW, and definitely nowhere close to GGX2. I said it in the other thread as well, but they really need to release a polished port of this on a major home system with online play, otherwise, it'll just fade into obscurity like MotW.

I'm still not sure those are reused sprites.

Regardless, I don't know why you'd ever hope for SVC to be high res. It is running on the Neo Geo after all. It's tough to go high-res on a machine with a resolution of 320x224.

I have a feeling we're going to find out. I'm still hoping for some more characters.

I think we're going to get Sagat and either Blanka or E. Honda on the Capcom side.

On the SNK side, I really can't see them making this without K'. After that who knows, maybe Kim.

I know...there was just speculation. But why are games still running on the Neo Geo anyway? It's not like other companies use the same hardware for their arcade games for like, 10 years or something (I don't know too much about Neo Geo).

I'm not sure the sprites are reused either, but, they don't look all that amazing nonetheless. I liked the way SNK characters were rendered in CvS2 better than the way Capcom characters are done in SNK style. Still, it definitely looks better than CvS2, so that's something.

I like the new character choices, especially Mr. Karate and M. Bison / Balrog.

Since Ryu and Ken look a lot more like their SF2 versions than anything else, I wonder if M. Bison / Balrog will look like his skinnier SF2 design. Same goes for Guile, Chun-Li (though I personally hope she looks like her SF3 design), Dhalsim, Balrog / Vega, and Gouki.

Argh, need more screens!

[Bacon McShig]

Feh.

These vs. games have far too many SF characters on the Capcom side. Or, more particularly, too many SFII characters, which I tired of 8 years ago. I'd like to see some more from Alpha, III, or even EX. A good move in that direction with Hugo, but I'd like more. Not to mention some Rival Schools, Star Gladiator, or even Power Stone folks.

[Zerodash]

You'll never see any EX characters outside of the EX series- they are owned by Arika and not Capcom...

[ruhztee]

I agree. I'd love to see some characters like Kairi (SFEX), Zaki (RS), Edge (RS), Wang Tang (PS), etc in there. I like all of the old World Warrior characters, but it seems they're always prerequisites in games like this.

Dissapointed, FighterX?

Yea, a little bit. Kasumi is a good choice, I liked her in KoF and she was underused... plus, she has a pretty rich background, which is nice. I'd rather Mr. Karate actaully BE Takuma, cause I can't stand that mask, but that's a great character.

But wait? What's this? Yes, more SF 2 garbage. I'm sorry, but Dudley is more superior to Balrog (U.S names) in every way, shape, or form, and ESPICALLY character. This is almost the whole damn SF 2 line up, and it's really sad, because Capcom has alot to draw upon, and not just SF 2.

They probably won't update their moves, so it'll be the damn characters I've played in at least 7 or 8 different versions now. AWESOME!

You people can spend your 250 bucks on the neo version, but if I feel the need to play Street Fighter 2 I can just pop my 4 dollar Genesis cartridge in.

Sorry, but SNK dissapointed me big time so far.

I'm not real big on fighters, but I would have liked to see Karin(spelling?) from SFA3 on the roster.

From http://www.snk-capcom.com -

"
S-C.com interviewed both SNK NEOGEO USA's President, Ben Herman and Capcom's VP of Sales, Chris Jelinek at E3 today. Both interviews will be up on our "INTERVIEW" page for viewing.

All we can say is, there is definitely some interesting news from both Capcom and SNK NG USA.

We have also confirmed that there are hidden characters in SVC CHAOS, which we believe there are 4 of them, bringing the current total to 24. This number, however, is not the final total, so there should be more to come.
"

So it looks like there are 4 hidden, plus some more. Hoepfully we'll find out who the non-hidden characters are rather quickly.

The interviews mentioned are not up yet, but they'll be here when they do get posted.
