Capcom vs. SNK 2 Millionaire Fighting 2001 (カプコン バーサス エス・エヌ・ケイ 2 ミリオネア ファイティング 2001) is a 2D fighting game developed and published by Capcom as the direct sequel to Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000. It was released for Sega NAOMI arcade hardware in 2001, before subsequently being ported to the Sega Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 later in the year.

Story

A year has passed since the original tournament known as Millennium Fight 2000. The Garcia Financial Clique and the Masters Foundation have once again decided to hold a fighting tournament, this time with a million dollar prize, called Millionaire Fighting 2001.

Gameplay

Capcom vs. SNK 2 is a 2D fighting game that combines characters and gameplay elements from various Capcom and SNK fighting games, mainly the Street Fighter and The King of Fighters series, though elements are also borrowed from the Fatal Fury and Samurai Shodown 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. In console versions of the game, players can also choose a 1-on-1 game or a 3-on-3 game in arcade mode with the ratio system removed.

Unlike the first game, which was based on the 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, with the SNK characters being tweaked to fit the 6-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 grooves in total, each designated with a letter, along with custom grooves that can be programmed in home versions of the game.

Grooves

Players choose from six different playstyles before selecting their characters, three based on Capcom games and three based on SNK games.

History

Development

Character sprites

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 Morrigan, whose low-resolution sprite from the original Darkstalkers games appears washed out and lacking in detail when compared to Capcom's newly drawn characters, such as Maki, Eagle, Ryu, Ken, and Vega (M. Bison). Chun-Li and Yun also have new sprites, based on their CPS-3 sprites from the Street Fighter III series. This has led to criticism of Capcom's art department.

Cross-platform play

During its development, Capcom worked with KDDI to bring a cross-platform online Matching Service for Capcom vs. SNK 2, allowing, at launch, for Dreamcast owners to fight against PlayStation 2 owners of the game (exclusively in Japan). To achieve this, the Dreamcast could connect to KDDI's servers with its built-in modem, while the PlayStation 2 was forced to use an external modem (which Capcom bundled in a special package). This is the first of two known Dreamcast games to support cross-platform console play, the other being Kidou Senshi Gundam: Renpou vs. Zeon & DX, also developed by Capcom.

The specifics remain unclear, however Capcom vs. SNK 2's launch on 13 September 2001 potentially makes it not only the first PlayStation 2 game to support any kind of cross-platform online play, but also the first PlayStation 2 game to support online play at all, pre-dating the likes of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 (which currently holds a Guinness World Record for this feat) by more than a month.

Sequels and re-releases

Though the Dreamcast version of the game remained exclusive to Japan, the arcade version was brought overseas as Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001. Other western ports have retained that name, although the Nintendo GameCube and Xbox received an upgraded version, Capcom vs. SNK 2 EO.
