And a new boss? We ARE talking about SNK, give me a break. It'll be Rugal, and Bison. And if it's not Rugal, then Geese.

I thought the Boss in this game was Mr. Karate (Takuma)? He's not really powerful enough to be a Boss, but the opening trailer gives the impression that he's a Boss..

I'd love to see someone like Orochi, but it'll never happen. SNK has only used Rugal as a boss, what, 4 times now in KoF's 8 years? That, and they can just reuse an old sprite of him.

So sad, but so true..

I'm holding out for Vanessa, Yamazaki, Billy Kane, Duck King, Leona, Kensou, K', Kula... the list goes on and on. Well I see any of them? Probably not.

Definitely not. I myself was holding out for Ralf, Vanessa, Bob Wilson, Gato, Jubei Yamada, Chin Gentsai, Cham Cham and Angel, among some of the others on your list..

This thread just shows SNK can shovel any sort of rehashed, crap lineup, and people will STILL eat it up. No offense, but I don't see why anybody could really be overjoyed playing as the same SF 2 and KoF cast of the last few years.

SNK has the chance to pull out all the stops, bring back a ton of old characters and fan favorites, but it's just the same old thing. Hell, had this game been diverse and awesome enough, I would have put down the money for the MVS cart and Neo Geo ASAP.

You know, I used to be one to carry SNK's banner high over Capcom HQ because I was so enamored with their unique characters and personalities. But you're right, Playmore is dropping the ball here. SNK has such a wonderful cast of characters to draw from, especially in a game called SNK vs. Capcom, which should be making use of several diverse characters from several genres. Street Fighter vs. King of Fighters I did not want.

Where are the Top Hunters? Mordred from Metal Slug, complete w/Boss mech? Lee (AOF2)? Rosa (Kizuna Encounter)? The Twinkle Star Sprites cast?? Where are the Vampire series cast?? Devilotte? Arthur or Maximo??

One of the reasons Match of the Millenium on the NGPC was so great is because it used more than just KOF/SF characters. The mini-games put it over the top as one of the best fighting games ever, never mind that is portable.

I am rather disappointed with the current roster. I, like most, hope for some more diverse characters (unlockable), but I don't think I'm going to get that. Of course, I'll still buy this game when it comes to console, but I would've purchased an MVS kit 'n kaboodle if this had been done properly. As it stands, MotM stands to be the better game.

We shall see..

I just think it'd be nice to see one Garou character... but this game is definitely looking to be incredible.

Interesting rumor...

A gent on the Neo Geo boards says SNKvsCap will use a new encoding chip that eliminates the memory limits on a Neo cart. Would be great if it's true. *-neo

Good ol' reliable TNL!

or how about the fact that this has to be viable in the arcade and while the "hardcore" at TNL here may love some of the more obscure characters they need to use people who are Popular and are going to attract people in an arcade

I can't get the SNK Vs Capcom movies to work. I'm on 98' with MP7, but all I get is the "visualizations" graphics and sound. Can anyone help please?

So far it seems to me CvS2 has the better character selection than SvC.

At least CvS2 has Haohmaru, Nakoruru, Eagle, King, Yuri, Geese, Hibiki, Todo, Chang, etc.

It's the fact, that sometimes, companies do take a chance but axing alot of the cast, and you get real gems like Garou and SF 3.

I understand the need to use popular characters, but when the entire roster is JUST popular characters except for about 3 or 4, that kind of sucks.

Like I said, I've played with the entire SF 2 cast since the game hit the arcade. Seeing Ryu, Ken, and Guile isn't exciting anymore in the least. I see the need to add them, but Balrog instead of Dudley? Three shotos?

You can bitch about CvS 2 all you want, but it was damn diverse. Every character added was either one we haven't seen in a LONG time (Haohmaru and Eagle), some of the newer blood (like Rock), and some real gems nobody excepted (Maki, and the chick from LB 2 who I'm forgetting).

At this point, SNK has forgotten it has games past KoF 98 and Samurai Shodown 1 and 64, and seems Capcom is only worth SF 2 and 3 and Tabasa (I think she's from Warzard).

If the other characters are hella cool, then yea, I'm all for it. But this is just another example that a company like SNK can pump out generic stuff, and their fans will still buy it. I'm pretty sure the game could just be Ryu and Ken vs Kyo and Iori and some of the fans would still spend 250 on it.

You know, one thing that I haven't heard anyone ask is whether there will be a "story mode" like the KOF games. What I mean is individual storylines and endings for each character...unlike the craptastic generic endings in the CvS games.
