The State of Capcom Today

[Anthony]

Compare SNK and Capcom's resumes since CvS2 (2001):

SNK*:
KoF2002 - one of the best games ever
SvC Chaos - garbage
KoF2003 - excellent
KoF Max Impact - terrible
KoF '94 Rebout - great
KoF Max Impact Regulation A - good
NGBC - mediocre
KoFXI - masterpiece
KoF '98 UM - genius
KoF2002 UM - brilliant
KoF XII - not good, but better than its reputation
KoFXIII - one of the best games ever

Four of SNK's last five games destroy anything Capcom has released since CvS2.


Capcom:
Capcom Fighting Jam - lol
SSF2T:HDR - no
SFIV - eh
SSFIV - nah
MvC3 - nuh-uh
SSFIV AE - gtfo
UMvC3 - not bad
SFxT - u srs?



* No idea what's been going on with Samurai Shodown

Which KOF introduced duolon? Because that game was hot ass.

Anything above mediocre on your SNK list besides KOFXIII I disagree with (and even that game is more like "really good"), so I'll side with the "fluke" statement.

[Anthony]

2k2 was really good

[MechDeus]

They all kind of blur together to me, to be honest. Once I started playing with some tournament players back in the days of the DC and SNK fighters still bored the hell out of me (outside of brief loves with MOTW and LB2), I just accepted that their games will never do it for me. But KOFXIII sure comes close.

I didn't realize ARBM was Mexican.

Did everyone forget that CVS, CVS Pro, and CVS2 are POS? SVC was released in an unfinished beta state because that's all old SNK had developed and the new team weren't up the task of completing it.

I bought Remember Me for retail PC but it's flawed, feels like Assassin's Creed 1 in a way.

I only take issue with '94 Rebout. The 3D stages look like shit, the arranged BGM sucks, and there's almost nothing else added to the game. I still like KoF XII, even though XIII makes it completely redundant. "Serect you membah. Serect the odor."

CvS2 had its flaws, but I would hardly call it pos. At high high level yes, but at anything under that it was really fun. Plus it had the most fun version of rock Howard!

I didn't realize ARBM was Mexican.

I wasn't always, but Capcom's last decade of output pushed me to the lado oscuro.
