It was originally released on hardware in. As in the original, players select a team of fighters from various and games then fight other teams, winning each battle by defeating all the opponents from the other team.Aspects of the first game were tweaked, including the Ratio system. In contrast to the fixed system of the original, players can now freely select characters and assign each of them a number from one to four (or 'Ratio') determining their relative strength, adding up to a maximum team ratio of four. Teams can now consist of a maximum of three characters, as opposed to four in the first game. Additional characters were added, including more characters from Capcom and SNK titles outside of the and series, for a total of 48. The Groove system from Millennium Fight 2000 has been augmented to include four new systems of play based on various Capcom and SNK fighting games. In addition, the number of buttons has been increased from the standard of four to the six button system first seen in Capcom's.The game was initially to the, followed by a version for the.
The and received an updated version titled, with the 'EO' referring to 'Easy Operation', a game option intended for novices to the game. The PS2 version was later released on in July 2013. See also:Capcom vs.
SNK 2 combines and elements from various and fighting games, mainly the and series. Other elements, most noticeably different fighting styles, incorporated elements from other games as well, such as, and the series.In contrast to the original Capcom vs. SNK, characters no longer have a specific 'Ratio.' Instead the player can select up to three characters in a team and give an amount or ratio (up to four) to each as desired. Strength are altered accordingly based on the number of players. For example, a team of three fighters will be weaker and have less individual health than a one-man team.
Rounds are fought one against one, with the winner being the first to defeat his opponent's team. In console versions of the game, players in Arcade Mode can also choose a 3-on-3 game or a 1-on-1 game with the Ratio System removed.Unlike the first game, which was based on a King of Fighters-style two-strength, four-button system of punches and kicks, Capcom vs. SNK 2 is based on the three-strength, six-button system of punches and kicks native to the Street Fighter series, and the SNK characters have been tweaked to fit the six-button style.
The overall system is derivative of Street Fighter Alpha. However, a number of different fighting styles called 'Grooves', which mimic other Capcom and SNK games, are included in the engine. These dictate both the character's Super Gauge system, and special techniques, such as dashes, running, and guard cancels, called 'Subsystems.' There are six in total, each designated with a letter, along with custom grooves that can be programmed in home versions of the game. Each player designates prior to the match which groove his or her team will use.Development and release Because Capcom vs. SNK 2 features a roster composed of characters from numerous games and hardware eras, the appearances of several of Capcom's characters have been considered substandard in comparison to the newly drawn SNK characters. Instead of choosing to redraw its characters, Capcom took the approach of reusing old character sprites from previous games and inserting them in among the other characters.
The result created a significant disparity, particularly in the case of characters like, whose sprite from the games appears lacking in detail when compared to Capcom's newly drawn characters, such as Maki, Eagle, Ryu, Ken, and M. This has led to criticism of Capcom's art department. Just like the first game, the Dreamcast release of Capcom Vs. SNK 2 also links up to the and using the Neo Geo Pocket Color link cable. Doing so will enable the player to unlock all the secrets on the Dreamcast game. Capcom vs.
SNK 2 EO Capcom vs. SNK 2 EO is the same game but with minor changes in gameplay and the inclusion of an EO ('Easy Operation') system that allows the player to perform specific attacks by simply moving the right analog stick in a certain direction. Like all other home versions of the game, CvS2: EO also contains four bonus characters: Evil Ryu, Orochi Iori, Shin Akuma (Shin Gouki in Japan), and Ultimate Rugal (God Rugal in Japan), powered-up versions of four regular characters.Before selecting a team, the game offers a selection of 'Grooves', which change the way the game is played, as well as 'AC-ism' or 'GC-ism' Grooves; GC-ism simplifies the control scheme, originally designed for the GameCube gamepad. In the Xbox version it is called EO-ism. SNK 2 EO also removed the Roll Cancel glitch that was in the original versions.
In addition, the Xbox version of CvS2: EO also included online play for up to two players on as well as (480p) support, which was noticeably absent in the version.Reception ReceptionReview scoresPublicationScoreN/A3/107/10N/AN/AN/A8.17/108/10N/AN/A7/108/1035/4031/4035/40N/AN/A7.5/107.75/106.25/10N/AC+BB−N/A7.9/105.4/108.1/108.7/10N/AGameZoneN/A6.6/108.5/108.9/10N/A6.6/108.4/108.6/10N/A3.6/5N/AN/AN/AN/AN/AN/AN/AN/A8/10Aggregate scoreN/A68/0/100The PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions of Capcom vs. SNK 2 received 'favorable' reviews, while the GameCube version received 'average' reviews, according to the website.

This game is something special. Despite the deluge of Street Fighter-related software Capcom has released up until now. Marvel vs Capcom 2 stands out as state-of-the-art in fighting games. Combining a simpler control scheme, gorgeous hi-res 2D/3D backgrounds and super-fast gameplay, MvC2 takes Capcom's 'versus' series to a new level. Going for a four-button control setup was a great idea as it doesn't penalize Dreamcast owners because of the funky DC pad. The action can get kind of hectic though, making this a thumb-cruncher. The graphics really benefit from the move to the Dreamcast (and NAOMI) hardware.
While the characters are still 2D sprites, comparable in animation quality to Capcom's CPS-II stuff, just about everything else, from background graphics to explosive effects are rendered in VGA box-worthy hi-resolutions, running at 60fps, all while showing off sexy transparencies with no slowdown. Whereas the first MvC pit you 2 vs. 2, the sequel triples the madness by making it a 3-on-3. Marvel vs Capcom 2 also nearly triples the roster of the previous version with characters like Jill Valentine (Resident Evil), Tron Bonne (Mega Man Legends), Captain Commando, Hayato (from Star Gladiator/ Plasma Sword), Cable and Marrow making their virgin appearances in a 2D fighting game. If you dig on a fighters, this is the cream of the crop. A must-buy for 2D fighting fans.
The first MvC on the Dreamcast was well-done, make no mistake. But it's safe to say that the sequel blows it out of the water in just about every respect. This game is to 2D fighters what Soul Calibur is to the 3D genre. The fact that you 'buy' new characters and backgrounds through points earned during gameplay is a welcome addition. The 3D backgrounds are so well-done they look hand-drawn, and as you'd expect, the 2D characters animate flawlessly. The biggest improvement is the four-button control scheme, which makes for a perfect match with the DC controller. Fighting fans need look no further for their 2D fix.
Although I have never been a big fan of the series for some very basic reasons that don't change in MvC2 - the gameplay is just too frantic and unpredictable for my tastes-1 must say this is by far my favorite of Capcom's 'versus' games. So what makes this one better? The new control scheme works great-especially for a more casual fighting game fan like myself-and the graphics (awesome backgrounds), animation and characters (especially Jill from Resident Evil and the Servbots from Tron Bonne) are topnotch.
If you like your fighting fast and furious, with big number combos and screen-filling mayhem, look no further. Being a huge fan of its original release, I expected to be tired of it after a few matches as I played the original until there was little challenge left. A couple of hours later however I found that the game's qualities that hooked me the first time still worked years later. Being able to create multiple combos and unlocking numerous features including a large amount of characters still gives the game significant replay value. Even the graphics hold their own with the characters having respectable detail and 3D backgrounds that improved dramatically over the old 2D backgrounds. Although more recent 2D fighters have been smoother, it's smooth enough and isn't distracting. Putting everything else aside, Marvel vs.
Capcom 2 is almost the exact same on the PS2 as it was on the Dreamcast. Those that played it on the Dreamcast will definitely want to take that into consideration before buying, but otherwise, it has aged well and is still competitive with newer 2D fighters. The inclusion of online play would have increased its value significantly but in spite of that, Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is still a decent 2D fighter and those who haven't played it before won't be disappointed. That aside, I really enjoyed playing. I'm a big fan of the cross over games, and I'm an even bigger fan of the original Marvel Vs. Capcom, so seeing this one show up was mighty cool.
There's plenty to unlock, with something like 52 different characters in all, with galleries and extra costumes available for each of them. The moves are just the same as always, and they haven't changed the basic gameplay that keeps this title good.While there are a few fighters that are rather obvious clones of one another, there's a good mix of different fighting types. Several of my favorite Marvel characters are featured, like, Marrow, and Captain America.
On the Capcom side, you've got a good choice of characters, some from, others from Street Fighter, and yet even more waiting to be unlocked. When it comes to 2D Capcom fighters, fans prefer either the methodical, slower-paced battles of Street Fighter III or the twitchy superhero spaz-a-thon that is the Marvel vs. Capcom series. Even though I'm more of a strategic fighting fan myself, I like the way MMC2 brings out my relentless offensive side.
Its frenetic pace demands that you bust out moves with impunity, and with a roster of 50-plus heroes, it's easy to find a combatant who suits your style. Plus, among Capcom's off-the-leash Street Fighter offspring, MVC2 has the best characters. Love or loathe the loony airborne sparring, you gotta admit that Jill Valentine siccing roadkill on Spidey is awesome.
Yet, a lot of us have been here already. Admittedly, some Xbox owners haven't played it, so I can't dock this relic for its age, but it is fair to compare MVC2 to the less pixilated, more balanced, online-enabled, and just plain superior Capcom vs. Against that heavyweight, this codger has no chance.
Street Fighters of the less insane variety, but MVC2 is still an enjoyable, silly fighter. It offers a ton of vastly different playable characters-some easily exploitable. A few are relatively harmless, while others (like a kung-fu-fighting Dr. Doom) are simply laughable on a conceptual level. Embarrassing characters aside, MVC2 is still a 2D visual tour-de-force, bursting with vivacious color, stylish humor, and fluid animations.
Ultimately, though, the mysterious lack of Xbox Live support (Capcom vs. SNK 2 has it) makes this antiquated fighter feel irrelevant on Xbox. Been there, done that.
