Capcom vs. SNK 2

Two fighting dynasties, one ring — Capcom vs. SNK 2 is the dream bout in which the icons of Street Fighter and King of Fighters finally clash in a grand crossover that fans of the genre long awaited. Here Capcom joined the best of both worlds into one exceptionally rich fighter.

At the heart of the game is the system of choosing fighting styles, the so-called „grooves". Before a match you pick a mode that determines how your energy, defense and attack options work — one matches the rules of Capcom games, another the SNK style. Thanks to this, every player can assemble a match exactly according to their play philosophy and the game offers enormous tactical depth.

The roster is a feast for fans of both camps. Characters from the Street Fighter and SNK universes meet side by side here, each with its own style and distinctive signature. Building a team, finding the ideal „groove" and tuning strategy against a specific opponent turns every duel into a little chess game at full speed.

Visually the game benefits from the precision of 2D animation that Capcom was expert at, and from a readable, dynamic presentation. The fights are fast yet deep — they reward knowledge of both systems and the ability to combine them cleverly.

Among connoisseurs, Capcom vs. SNK 2 has a reputation as one of the deepest and most balanced crossover titles, one the competitive community has returned to for many years. For anyone who loves technical 2D fighters and dreams of a clash between the two giants, it is a wish come true.

Why play: A dream crossover of Capcom and SNK with a deep system of fighting styles and a huge roster — one of the most technical and balanced fighters ever.
