SvC Chaos (SNK, bring forth the stinker!) ..

SNK is finally releasing a new fighting game that has been two years in the making. This time it's SNK's approach at the "CAPCOM v. SNK" battle, and from what I've seen so far ... It seems kinda' crappy.

I can already hear people screaming at me for saying such a disgraceful thing, but have you actually seen the God-forsaken cast they managed to piece together? It looks like SNK took a few main-stays from each side, and then just started picking out of the barrel, or choosing who was the most obscure.

So lets take a look at the characters they've released so far. We have the main people from both sides .. Terry, Ryu, Kyo, Mai, Chun-Li and Ken. Okay, so we're keeping with the Shoto's that's fine, but now they also have Ryo and Gouki? Were more needed? Then we have people like Earthquake, Hugo, Tabasa, Shiki, Genjuro, etc. All plucked out of obscurity. Don't get me wrong, I like seeing a few of those names in the game, but where the Hell did they come from?

I've seen a few blurry screenshots of the game, and apparently Morrigan and Demitri are in it as well. Morrigan's sprite looks the same, but SNK did what CAPCOM never has .. Shaded it. Let us hope the screenshot was not a fake. Also, Demitri is supposed to be a CAPCOM mid-boss, but I find that hard to believe with Bison, Vega, Balrog and Sagat already in it. It seems more like SNK v. Street Fighter, to tell you the truth.

I despise the character cast, and the production art is horrible. The game seems to run smoothly in beta-testing, and I am excited about it's release. It's seems like nothing to shout home about though. It looks like just another tossed together fighter that every MUGEN fan has done 20 times over.

I certainly hope this game turns out well, and that there are a couple of Darkstalkers characters included. If not, then we'll just have another stinker on our hands. Nothing so far has really changed my opinion of the game, and I suppose we shall see what happens once I get my hands on it.

Down, Down-Forward, Forward .. PUNCH!!,
