/vr/ - Retro Games

>>2433731
I like that stage in which you can wander into an arcade through an automatic door.
That is all I remember about it.

>>2433731

funky soundtrack, fun game, good cast, cool stages, unique pre fight intros. love the game and hope they eventually make a 3rd

>>2433742

OP here. The OST is probably my favorite out of any of the SF games. I also liked how you could customize the colors for the fighters. Most of mine turned out like shit though unless I followed specific pallets.

Yeah I loved that game. Had all my favorite characters from Capcom & SNK games, even Hibiki. If it had strider it would have been perfect.

I liked it, but I couldn't really get into it as much as I got into GGXX (which I happened to be playing at the same time as I was introduced to CvS2), so I just kinda stayed scrub at it.

>>2433731
all of those references to dead series make me rather sad

>>2433731
why the fuck would Capcom make Marvel vs Capcom 2 a gimped 4 button fighter? This is why I load up Capcom vs SNK 2 all the time.

>>2433731
K-Groove Sagat solo ratio match all day every day putas!

>>2433793

>K-Groove Sagat

My man! It's funny since I used all of Shadowloo I always got looks because apparently they're all top tier.

CvS2 is a top 3 /vr/ fighter and a top 5 fighter of all time. It's just that damn good.

Best FG ever.

No love for the first one though?

I can't tolerate the mixed sprites. Ruins the game for me.

It's like my 3rd favorite fighting game ever.

Probably one of the best 2D fighting engines ever made.

>>2433731
It was my first fighter i digested and took seriously.

I was droped into a world of options grove grove to 1,2,3 character teams. plus character ratio.

I loved it. so complex yet so simple.
the groves made it very deep even picking the same team in a different grove ment the player was going to try different shit.

about a year after this 4 came out and i've been hooked on fighters forever.

I remeber seeing this title in the arcade and thinking "i wish i could push the buttons as fast as these guys so i could be good at the game"

god its been so long.

>>2433731
I think it's neat. I'm awful at it though, I try to play it too much like a KOF.

>>2433865
The Capcom fighting game department was on its last legs by this point, and even then the VS games were always made with concept of throwing together previously-made assets to save on production costs.

>>2434294
at least they redrew the snk characters in sf alpha style

>>2434294
How is it on its last legs when it just released another Street Fighter like 48 hours ago?

>>2433797
Only Shadowloos that I use are Sagat and M. Bison. They're pretty cool to play as.

>>2433862
I played a ton of CvSPro on PS1 with the added advantage that it was a 4 button fighter instead of the CvS2 full 6 button set.

>>2433865
but they re-drew the SNK sprites completely. watchu talking 'bout willis?

>>2434315
Compare Morrigan or Haohmaru to the newer cast members.

>>2434302
I can't tell if you're joking or not, but the actual in-house Capcom fighting department that developed all their 90s fighters was essentially dead after the release of CvS2. That's why they released no fighting games from then until Street Fighter 4 in 2008, which wasn't actually developed in-house. It was outsourced because, like I said, their fighting department was dead. Everyone in it had left the company.

>>2434318
haomaru was also redrawn
back then morrigan was only a couple years old

>>2434313

I played the shit out of it on Dreamcast.
I always see people praising SvC2 and ignoring the first completely.

the neo geo pocket game is also pretty good

>>2434315
And then threw in Street Fighter Alpha sprites that were in a completely different style.

>>2434326
Which ones were the Alpha sprites? All of the SF cast? Akuma in CVS2 doesn't really look like any Alpha incarnation of Akuma.

>>2434318
I said SNK sprites!

Although, Morrigan always did look off. The only logical explination that I can think of for Ken and Ryu getting new sprites was because their Street Fighter Alpha sprites looked too cartoonish for the realistic setting of CvS games.

>>2434334
Not all of the SF cast. The shotos, Chun-Li, and M. Bison were redrawn in the same style as the SNK characters. But the rest are all SF Alpha sprites.

>>2434336
Znagief, Honda and Blanka looked far cartoonier. Ideally they probably would have liked to redraw all of the Capcom cast, but they didn't have the budget. So they just redrew a handful of "important" characters.

It's the best Capcom/SNK crossover game there is. Chaos a shit.

>>2434323
the SNK version was pretty fucking awesome because Genjuro was in it. Zero was a nice surprise, totally unexpected.

and yeah, the Neo Geo Pocket one was pretty cool. Never got to play it on the actual hardware but it feels very slow on the emulator.

>>2434336
>Haohmaru isn't SNK

HAAH
WAAW

Also Athena looks fucked up too.

>>2434312
I used Vega and Sagat before I knew they were OP, though in my defense my R2 anchor was Yamazaki.

>>2434420
I've used most of Shadowloo (and mained Sagat) since ST so that's my excuse.

Still the best Capcom Vs game to date. Still, I think CvS1 had the overall better soundtrack but CvS2's soundtrack was still great.

https://youtu.be/t3WoYYLTyEo

SVC Chaos was pretty dull and bland.

>>2433731
Great game, but I'm not keen on some of the sprite re-use. Morrigan looked nice back in 94, but she looks way too dated in CVS2. Then again Capcom was doing that for years so no reason to nitpick.

>>2433783
Had to capitalize on the popularity of Guilty Gear. Marvel is an anime game after all.

Rock's Capcom art always bothered me. What the fuck going on with his face?

RAGIN STOOOOOOOOOOOOOORMMM

>>2436067
But the Capcom side sprites in SVC Chaos look so good.

>>2436081

Avoid this game at all costs, it was shit. This was made at the point in time when SNK had no idea where to go to KOF. The only good thing about the game was "new" fighters that aren't in every fucking SNK or Capcom game like Tessa and Goenitz.

Also the game should have just been called KOF vs Street Fighter because 95% of the characters were from those games.

>>2436096
God Rugal is most SNK games is always cheap as fuck, but Rugal was beyond fucking cheap in SVC2.

>>2436105
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcGPByaWr6U

>>2436087
Only half of them do.

Some of them have like 4 frames of animation for any move.

>>2436121
Awesome track but fucking hell he's cheap as all Hell in that game. There is no true love makin' with him.

>>2436087
Hugo looked great but Demetri and a couple others looked like complete ass. Red Arremer my god, awful looking and awful fighter.

>>2436067
>SVC Chaos was pretty dull and bland.
Everything by SNK at that time kinda fits in that description, they had just been reformed as SNKP.
I did like how the Capcom characters looked though.

>>2436097
>Also the game should have just been called KOF vs Street Fighter because 95% of the characters were from those games.
You're describing the Capcom titles though.
SvC's roster was smaller yet more varied than the Capcom ones.

>>2436142
Being cheap is his defining quality. Sure, Capcom took it too far, but we are talking about Rugal+Shin Akuma here, so it is kind of justified.
>>2436152
At least modern vs. games got a lot better when it comes to cast variety.

>>2436151
>Demitri and a couple others looked like complete ass
>Demitri
Really? I loved how he looked in that game.
He looked much cooler and his animations were much more impressive imo.

>>2436151
>Demetri
You take that back.

>>2436198
>>2436185
>>2436151
SNK took away the cartoony cheese present in the original and made him a more mystique-looking fighting character. Hands down my favorite redesign from SVC Chaos. Heck I like it more than his original Vampire appearance.

>>2436185
>>2436223
Eh, it's cool for what it is, but the campiness and cartooniness is really what makes Darkstalkers what it is. You lose a lot of what made the characters interesting in the first place when you take that away, IMO.

>>2436239
They made every single other character more realistic as well. It's sad that the game tanked because the sprites were great. Demitri never looked so good, and also MARS PEOPLE.

>>2436185
>>2436198
uh, messed it up there, it was supposed to say that some of the cast had great animation, but some others were very bad by comparison.

>>2436096
Why does he look like a fit hawaiian in this?

also, anybody have a pic of Cammy's flat ass from the loading screens in CvSPro?

>>2436272

>Demitri never looked so good

The nigger is swag as all fuck

>>2433731

Not as good as my custom Mortal Kombat vs SNK on Mugen.

>>2436239
overall tone of svc chaos is depressing and post apocalyptic for some reason, so it fits that game better

>>2436335
True. And SNK fighters in general tend to be a bit more grounded and realistic than Capcom's. In that sense, they adapted him well. He fits the game he was put in.

>>2436272
SVC's sprites are amazing. Shame the game's so bad, and feels blatantly unfinished (like everything else they did around that time, like KOF2003)

>>2436347
>like everything else they did around that time

Tell me about it. Metal Slug 5 had half the damn game unimplemented. It only felt great for the first level and a half. After that it was completely boring, and the last boss was just plain stupid and made no sense.

>>2436347
Pretty much this.
I wish somebody hacked some of those sprites in a better game, like KOF 98.
A team of Ryu, Chun and Guile would be pretty cool in that game.

And yes, it is possible, I have a KOF 98 hack that adds the UM characters, NESTS Kyo and Robert (as EX characters) and a shit ton of moves, among other things.
So a hack to port the SvC characters shoud be possible aswell.

>>2436403
Oh man. That sounds awesome. KoF98 is my favorite fighting game. Its a damn shame that SNK died in the 90's.

I'd love to play the game again in a "remaster" but it'd probably be botched like 3rd Strike's port.

>>2436403
name of said hack, please? is it on the mame set?

>>2436441
KOF 98 Anniversary Edition, by EGHT.
It's not on Mame set, it can only be played in a different version of Kawaks, "Kawaks Ultra Plus" or something, iirc.
It also requires doing something with the .dat files, but I don't remember what.

I was going to offer a zip with my folder but I Look it up and try it, if you can't find it or get it to work just ask and I'll try to help.

Also, it's a fun hack, but be aware that some things are kinda broken, like sound effects for the new characters, for example.

>>2436462
I was going to offer a zip with my folder but I can't find it, so I might have deleted it*

>>2433862
I always thought the presentation was a lot more smooth on the 1st one, same with MvC, they just feel more special somehow.

>>2434336
They redrew Ryu and Ken because they looked too young in their Alpha sprites, with a different design.

Chun-Li sprite was only redone in the second game.

>>2434359
>>2436067
>>2436087
>>2436141
SNK did a hackjob with SVC. They didn't even redrew Genjuro sprite to match the KOF style used in the game. They just ripped his SS4 sprite.

>>2436483
Not really, Genjuro's sprites are different from the Smasho games.
Not too much tbh, but they are. It's clear to see when you put them side by side.

Also, here's the link to the hack I mentioned here >>2436462
It comes with the emulator, configured and ready to play.
https://mega.co.nz/#!3EBEmCJL!cps624F5AWolL9MtlFsfR2a9GiUHHN5thGC4HmIHMl0

>>2436529
downloading now, thanks for the link. If it works then I might toss it into my MAME cab, athlough it's too bad Maximus Arcade doesn't let me create profiles so I don't know how I'm going to load that version of Kawaks without breaking immersion.

>>2436334
link

>>2433783
Same reason why MvC3 is a gimped three button fighter. "Accessibility" when the culprit actually is 'Consoles'.

>>2436081
>What the fuck going on with his face?

He doesn't look like George Clooney? You know, like most Shinkiro faces?

what's svc chaos plus? is it worth playing?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wKBGDk6TbI

>>2436879
It's just a hack that unlocks the boss characters from default.
It might have some other stuff but I'm not sure, if it does then it's nothing too different.

>>2436883
I thought they also balanced it? Oh well its really fun though.

>>2436879
come to think of it the best thing about this game were the cheap ass secret bosses

>>2436823
No sprites really killed MvC3 for me, also there is something about the game I can't explain but it didn't have the same feel as the 90's VS games.

>>2437091
This is probably why a lot of people want SNK vs Capcom 2 being made. The want is so bad they even made really well done KoFXIII style sprites for some of the Capcom character. Too bad it was Ono that said he was not going to work on crossovers anymore so the chances are even lower.

Personally, a Capcom vs SNK 3 would be better because I still play CvS2 a ton on my PS3.

>>2437134
I don't mind the SF4 models but the MVC3 ones looks kinda cheap to me. I also feel like sprites helped Marvel games as they are based on comics.

I just bought this for PS2 a couple days ago, was about to give it a try.

Anything I'm missing out on without the DC version?

>>2437152
IIRC no. If anything the PS2 MAY have more features.

You just need true love makin'.

>>2433731
Needs a PC port with GGPO like yesterday.

>>2437152
Capcom Fan Disk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBo44BeuJeY

game art, some replays of pro matches and probably a game save or two.

>>2437176
OH and Dreamcast had a network feature

>>2436161
I find that far reaching neutral jump attacks tend to have the best results against them. Long range zoning in general is pretty effective as long as they aren't in K or P groove.

>>2437174
GGPO has been dead for a while, where have you been? You can play the game right now with Fightcade, that's the best place for any 2D fighters right now.

>>2437176
someone translated that to english

Spot George Clooney!

>>2437649
Shit, they all kind of look like George Clooney.

>>2437342
Never tried that before, how is it?

>>2437649
Polnareff is that you?

>>2437342
IIRC CVS2 isn't compatible with Fightcade yet.

>>2439015
your not the first one to notice

>>2433731
>tell me this game is great to give me a digital pat on the back and confirm that everything is right in the world
stop caring so much about what other people think, you could like what others think is the shittiest game in the world and it doesn't fricking matter what other people think if you like it. this shit is moronic.

>>2437342
Fightcade can only play games based on an older version of FBA, Only kaillera and DEMUL or a netplay build of PCSX2 can play CVS2 online

>>2436334
mugen is pure shit, only kneckbeards with no life can get enjoyment out of this shit, it's poorly made and the sprites that people make for it look like shit because everything fucking clashes

>>2439218
Whoa, you look triggered.

Go play Cyberbots Matrix.

>>2437649
you fags whine too much, i'd rather this than the autistic generic moeblob of today

>>2434320
They released an in house fighting game between cvs2 and sf4, 2004's Capcom Fighting Jam

>>2439571
You mean this?

I remember it getting horrible reviews

>>2441019
I hated the character select screen, worst ever. Alex was nerfed hard too.

You know what kinda sucks though, playing this with the Gamecube D-Pad. :/

Also all my teams were always all Capcom. SNK designs just don't do it for me. Except Mai but that's just because titties.

>>2439571
That thing barely even counts as a game. If anything it should count as proof positive that Capcom's fighting department was dead.

>>2434320
Capcom were hyping-up Capcom Fighting All-Stars in the early 2000's but then mysteriously decided to cancel it and settled down for releasing the MUGEN clone that is >>2441019.

The boss character of that game supposedly became the boss character of another canceled game, Sammy's Ken-Ju for the Atomiswave. Spooky shit, look it up. http://www.capcom-unity.com/bigmex/blog/2012/02/27/the_sammy_fighting_game_that_also_never_was

>>2441072
those twin lolis are doing crazy things to my dick

I still love booting this game up time to time for some training mode monstering. Made a few webms, too.

>>2441072

>>2441461
I'm really disappointed she only appeared in one awful game. The card fighters don't count.

>>2441597
She's included in the PSP port of Alpha 3.

>>2441461
>I feel that announcing my attraction to a fictional underage girl is a necessary contribution

We believe that you're definitely attracted to women. But we're not really the ones that need convincing, are we?

>>2436272
"Realistic" is a stretch. Less cartoon-like, perhaps, but definitely not realistic.

>>2436152
>You're describing the Capcom titles though.
>SvC's roster was smaller yet more varied than the Capcom ones.

Yeah, nah.

>>2441663
>Athena (not Asamiya)
>Mars People
>3 Samsho reps, one of which was never in a 2D tile (besides NGPC) and another who was only playable in very early games.
>Demitri
>Zero
>Tessa
>Firebrand

That's 9 characters in a cast of 36, so 25% of it's cast. Mr. Karate (with the mask on) was technically never in kof at that point, and Violent Ken is made up, but I'm not counting those guys.
CVS1 was literally "KOF vs SF: Featuring Nakoruru and Morrigan."
CVS2 was more varied than 1, but that game's cast was pretty big, I believe SvC was more varied as far as percentage goes. Though I don't recall how many characters CvS2 had nor how many non kof/sf characters, but they weren't much iirc.

>>2441663

It's an excellent Roster and the Capcom characters all look gorgeous (so do Mars People and Athena I guess.) Too bad it plays like warm dogshit.

If the SNK side had Garou tier spritework and not mostly recycled KoF stuff this would be remembered much more fondly. Still, it plays like dogshit. srsly.

>>2441909
I felt it played pretty liberally for cuhrazy gameplay while KoF/SamSho mechanics where tight and right. I mean, you had to execute shit in almost a split second.

Genjuro for example. If you're good with him in the normal SamSho games, you need to be good with him 2.5x as fast.

>>2441909
>If the SNK side had Garou tier spritework
Then the Capcom side would look woefully out of place. I didn't like a single aspect of the game. Even most of the artwork bothered me. Some of it okay, but for the most part...well, take a look at Ryu.

I remember when the game was going through the unveiling process, the general crowd bemoaned the artwork. Guile's in particular was bemoaned due to his forearm being a completely different color than the rest of his arm in a way that wasn't convincing as shading.

>>2441931

The dogshit comes from the hit detection, or lack thereof, and just general messiness of the game. I do understand that SNK went through like two separate company collapses during the game's development, but ghat damn this game needed more bugfix love.

>>2441936

Wasn't that NONA? Yeah, his stuff was really hit or miss during this time but when it hit it fucking Hit. I love that he's willing to take risks with the characters and do really expressive, almost abstract kinda weirdness. You do still end up with shit like this sometimes, though.

I didn't understand all the hate Falcoon got either; everyone loved his shit until SNK actually hired him. I think people were just too fucking jelly.

>>2441973
Not the guy you're responding to, but I despise Nona's art. Everyone looked fucking ugly and retarded in 2001, some more than others. I understand what he tried to do, but it just doesn't work to me.
He toned it down a little for 2k2 and I thought that was much more acceptable, despite still not being a big fan.

>I didn't understand all the hate Falcoon got either
The problem isn't even his art, but have you seen his designs? Not only are most of his new characters atrocious things that shouldn't be in a fighting game, but he also redesigned the classic characters in the gayest ways possible. Just look up the MI2 alt costumes in case you haven't seen them.

I admit some of those costume those costumes looked rather cool and made some pretty clever homages to other characters, but the majority of them were just hideous.

>>2441996
Actually, that Clark doesn't look that bad. Not really the picture I meant to post, oh well.

>>2441996
you just don't understand FABULOUS

>>2441996
I dont see how the alt costumes are a problem, you don't have to use them if you don't want to
some of the extra costumes in street fighter IV looked just as dumb. Remember the furry dlc?

>>2442015
Fair enough, but that's where the hate comes from, his designs not his art.
Alt costumes are one thing, but you can't hide from his OC's at all if you're playing the game.

>>2442002
Maybe I really don't, cuz pic related really isn't the kind of shit that I'd like to see in KOF (or anywhere else really.)
It's a dude btw.

>>2442021
nothing wrong about a reptile tranny with erect dick nipples, check your cis privilege

I did voice work for that game. Its still a decent fighter.

>>2441996

I'll give you Nagase because Falcoon wished to be the little girl, but what was wrong with any of the other characters? Alba and Soiree aren't really out of place. They look a hell of a lot like those two new dudes next to Ingrid in >>2441072 actually. Soiree is a duster and armband away from God Hand's Gene. I get the feeling that what rubs people the wrong way about their design is that they were created in a time where you didn't have to distill a character to the basics to maintain readability; you can't do this with most characters designed nowadays. You get accused of being overdesigned or too busy. I can see the criticism working for some things, but not here. Meh.

I'm going to ignore your comments on the alt costumes, because they're fucking Alt Costumes. Shit don't count. It was sure as hell better than that 'Rigging model' bullshit in the first game. My only complaint on MI2's design is that they turned B. Jenet into a titty monster and ruined her dress.

>>2442038

Narrator is that you?

>>2442046
>they turned B. Jenet into a titty monster
She was always mega milk tho.

>>2442046
Maybe that's pretty much it. A lot of those characters did look overdisegned and needlesly flashy. Even the default costumes for some Classics were added needless details, like Iori and Clark having nonsensical zipper things covering the back of their paints, or Terry having that poach. Those are just examples off the top of my head, and while they're nothing too bad, you can see that it's just adding needless detail for the hell of it.
Since you mentioned Soiree, he's also very similar in looks to Shen Woo, a character created around the same era. But Soiree has much more "fabulousness" to his design, from all the frill in his clothing, to the cowboy hat on his back and his rather loud and bright color scheme. Shen on the other hand, had much more somber colors, and was less detailed. At the end of the day, Shen Woo kinda looks like a stylized street brawler, while Soiree looks more like some some fabulous cowboy cosplayer.
Alba was basically a self insert, Minon and Ninon were moe/lolita as hell, the TKD chick was alright, but needlesly suffered from Falcoon's white strands hair fetish, I guess Jivatma goes withouth saying, Butterfly chick basically had Chizuru's role but with a more over the top design and was also an alien, and I don't remember all the others tbh. I thought Duke was cool, his design was more straight to the point and somewhat looked like a classic SNK boss.


I don't see how Alt Costumes are completely invalid though. Alt colors/textures, sure. But the default "Another" costumes, regardless of being optional, still shows Falcoons mindset on character design, and to be fair, I actually liked some alts more than the defaults.
Ninon looked much better with the Kimono than the lolita dress, Another Terry (Normal, not MOTW) looked sorta cool, and I actually like Another Mai better than her classic design, to name a few.

>>2442097
MUCH worse in MI2

>>2442098
>MUCH worse in MI2
Not really, just a bit more cleavage.

>>2442097
Oh helllll no. She's big but at least proportionate to her relatively (in a world where people like Tizoc/Gato/Fat Old can't-Rising-Tackle-anymore Terry exist) lithe and small frame. MI2 gave her a wide-ass milf body and an absurd dress and it sucked. And I like wide-ass milf bodies. Also royal blue is Best Color.

>>2442098
I was thinking of mentioning Shen Woo actually. Minon was annoying to me not for her visual design but for her mannerisms and that goddamn clownshoes noise she made when she walked. There was a line somewhere like a mile back on her moe-ness and they clearly passed it. Jivatma and Butterfly chick were so out-fucking-there that I don't even really register them. Jivata fights like shit but I put that on the fact that SNK had no idea what they were doing when they wanted to make a 3D game. Duke was cool.

I just don't count the Anothers/Alts as they aren't meant to be Definitive versions of any of the characters. The standard outfits for everyone (mostly) did their jobs. He let me down with Athena I guess; 2k3's outfit was just too damn cute to follow up with another uniform and that other one. Mai's was neat since it was Hokutomaru's, yeah.

>>2442170
I liked athena's china dress in this one better than the one she used in 2k1. Her MI uniform makes her look more like a teacher.

>>2441185
I got a couple other 10,000+ dmg webms, I feel like posting those too.

>>2442430
And the last one

>>2433731
Gameplay wise it was just a dumbed down Alpha 3.

Had some pretty good music in it though

>>2442604
>thinks it was a "dumber" A3
>thinks the music was "pretty good"

>>2442605
and that's wrong?

one of the best fighting games of all time
although very boring to watch at high level because of nothing but c-sagat and a-sakura

After playing TvC, MvC3 is just too dark, I love how colourful and 90s arcade TvC felt.

The actual cover is way sweeter than that

>>2442642
Any tutorials on that? I remember having a hard time getting the netplay to synch up proper.

I'm not sure.
Some weeks ago I was with a friend playing it (with arcade sticks) and most of the time I couldn't do anything interesting with any character (even hadoukens didn't always come out), meanwhile my friend picked up M.Bison (japanese Vega) and just doing a down+C combo was pulling a cheap low sliding kick all the time, and that took quite a lot of damage.
We're not pros or anything but c'mon. Is M.Bison that OP in the game? Is there something I was skipping?
Next day we loaded King of Fighters '99 Dream Match (KOF '98) and I felt it was miles better. I could do a lot of stuff with most of the characters and all the fights were more balanced. If someone started to cheap out the other would find an strategy or character to counter and every fight felt like an advancement over the previous one.
As I said, we're no pros or anything, but KOF98 felt a million times better.
Also the graphics, CVS2 has some weird shit mixed (like hi-rez 3d bgs with sprites like the Morrigan one) while KOF98 feels very coherent (it's got 3d bgs in the DC version but they blend wonderfully)

Nah man, nah. I could feel you if every character in CvsSNK2 were on the level of the SNK/Star Capcom characters but you still had a messy hodgepodge of old Alpha sprites and fucking Morrigan. There was no way in hell Capcom would have ever redrawn anyone then, and certainly not now.

Maybe ASW will reveal their UE wizardry and SNK will embrace it; I don't think they're going to continue their absurd rotoscoping sprite work with a theoretical KoFXIV. Too time consuming and too expensive, even with XIII's weird resurgence of popularity.

Your post contributed to this thread as much as his.

C-groove combos were fun as fuck.

>Genjuro's sprites are different from the Smasho games.
No, they aren't. SNK only redid Genjuro sprites in KOF style for Neo Geo Battle Coliseum.

Well, if you wanna be stubborn about it, here's pic related.
The SvC ones are different from Samsho, and NGBC is the EXACT same SvC sprite with a different palette, so you're wrong on both statements.
