SNK vs Capcom Ofcl.Thread (Udt.10/02/03) AES re-delayed until November 13th.

You're about on the same track as I am, but I would have used Hyo instead of Kurow

Yeah, I waffled between the two, actually. I could go either way.

Glad my list was well-recieved.

[Roufuss]

I'd use a toned down J. Talbain instead of Donovan, though.

Uh, what chance would there be of this title not being popular?

Being that it's on Neo hardware, I'm guessing only arcade goers and SNK fans will care. Unless they port...but even then, since when has an SNK port sold well?

[FX]

Have the PS2 and X-box ports been officially confirmed yet?

It's their ( SNK's ) own fault. Staying on the Neo was a bad decision. They seem to cater more towards their small fan base ( who can afford the games ), rather than gaining exposure by using updated CD-based hardware.

Well, it seems like they're at least trying to make everyone in the lineup human, and Talbain'd look a tad out of place... Donovan's basically all you could use from Vampire in that respect, aside from Buletta. Also, I think Donovan would be better in that he has a unique move list and would be more of a challenge to play as, which I also took into account when making my picks. I didn't want the list bogged down with characters who are all quarter-circle/half-circle move heavy.

Not that I'd be tremendously heartbroken if such a substitution occurred.

PS2 port coming by December (though unclear if this is to Japan or US), according to the new head of SNK USA. No word on an xbox port.

They've put the "popular" characters in these games with such unerring regularity that anyone who plays these vs. games is sick and tired of them. If they keep putting the usual suspects in, that makes them not only unpopular, but maligned. Give them a rest.

As to who I would put, given 30 spots to fill, 15 on each side:
Capcom:
Ryu, Ken, and Chun-li are givens. They won't budge and you're a fool if you think otherwise.
Warzard: Tabasa
Rival Schools: Akira, Daigo, Kurow
SFA: Karin, Sodom
SF3: Ibuki, Hugo, Yang
SF2: Vega/Balrog
Vampire: Donovan
Star Gladiator: June

SNK:
Kyo, Iori and Mai are the same as Ryu, Ken, & Chun-li.
KOF: Takuma, K', Yashiro, Vanessa
LB: Setsuna
SS: Genjuro, Cham Cham
Garou: Terry, B. Jenet, Freeman, Grant
FF: Duck King

edit: whoops, Grant's from Garou, not LB. I'm a moron.

I would do things a tad differently (Makoto instead of Hugo and Clark instead of Takuma) but that's a solid roster. Certainly more interesting than SF2 vs KOF94

I'm quite pleased with the character roster at the moment. The Capcom side could be stronger though.

Heres my dream list of characters, which is sure to piss people off, as I basically threw in my faves:

Capcom:
Ryu - SF
Ken - SF
Akuma - SF
Chunli - SF
Karin - SFA3
Rolento - SFA
Hsien-ko - Dark Stalkers
Dan - SFA
Bison - SF
Scullomania - SF ex
Akira - Rival Schools
Venom - MvC2 (well MvC2 IS a capcom game)
Zangief - SF
Wang Tang - Power Stone
Batsu - Rival Schools

SNK:
Kyo - KOF
Iori - KOF
Mai - KOF
Ralph - KOF
Leona - KOF
Clark - KOF
Vanessa - KOF
Gato - Garou
Setsuna - Last Blade 2
Kagami - Last Blade
Tizoc - Garou
B Jenet - Garou
Kazuki - Samurai Shodown 4
Sonya - Rage of the Dragons

The Capcom side is a little weak, as I don't really like many Capcom characters.

[Adrian]

Ah another Karin fan. I'm so upset she's only in SFZ3, easily my favourite Capcom character. It's so much fun roughing up shoto scrubs with her.

[arjue]

yeah, she is great. I'd love to see SNK's take on her.
