SVC's greatest failure is how depressing it is

Yeah, as if 39 random sword-wielding characters are more deserving.

Heck, they missed the mark on *that* category, too. How the heck is Adol Christin not in a Smash game?
Or Ryu Hayabusa and Dante?

But at least I'm not Stonepa.

Oh man, Ryu would be an awesome addition, especially given how important the first NES Ninja Gaiden was to that console's legacy, let alone cinematic platformers.

And going back to Adol, the Oath in Felghana *pre-order* Refined Edition is the best-selling Switch game on Amazon. Just nabbed mine.

Imagine a successful company like NIntendo caring what a faggot like Stonepa thinks.

Imagine.
The dude thinks nobody gives a shit about SNK characters these days. Most likely is his thinking cap limiting oxygen to his head XD.

Regarding the game, i did played it a few times via emulation and it's entertaining but nowhere near the level of CVS. At least we got Match of the Millennium and the Card Fighter Clash games from the SNK and Capcom collab.

One improvement that could be made is take out mars people and replace it with the Magician Lord guy (does he have a name?) And square him off against Tessa.

To touch up on that wild and crazy Kyo tangent, I am grateful for Kyo.

Because without the straight man, how can you have the bad man. One of the greatest video game character designs of all history. IORI.

Here is your chance to relive it for better or for worse. Let's hope a modern Capcom vs SNK collection is on the way
I'd buy it for that baller new piece of art! And...that's about it. lol. Thank god it's Ryu Vs. Terry front and center now and not Kyo. And my boy Firebrand got a feature spot up front too!

At least they got Code Mystics to do the job, I've been pretty impressed with their work over the last five years or so.

I would never have expected SNK to cancel Kyo like this. Pretty silly too, since in game the intro is all about Kyo vs Ryu and char selection screen puts p1 on Kyo and p2 on Ryu as the default picks. I only hope their Terry obsession will stop after releasing Garou Densetsu City of the wolves.

I like how Mai and Chun are basically BFFs in that art.

I hope it never stops because only fags like Kyo more than Terry.

It's gonna fool people with that artwork too. Make them forget how sad, desolate, and muted color the game truly is.
I said it in this thread, but I think the game is incredibly flawed, yet also fun in a quirky and busted kind of way.

Having said that, re-releasing this makes it seem like it's a game worthy of getting re-released and putting new eyes on it and it mostly definitely isn't.
