In 2000, a special martial arts event is planned through a collaboration of the two most powerful world organizations, Garcia Financial Clique and Masters Foundation. The gala event, it is hoped by everyone, will ease the political conflicts between the two powers. The competition was named "Millennium Fight 2000."
Many renowned martial artists have registered for the tournament. People around the world focus intensely on the upcoming exhibitions, making long-awaited opening ceremony a huge success.
Gameplay
Character select
Gameplay
The game is a crossover fighting game featuring characters primarily drawn from Capcom's Street Fighter series and SNK's The King of Fighters series. It is an update to Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000 and plays nearly identically. It adds two characters (Dan Hibiki from Street Fighter Zero and Joe Higashi from Garou Densetsu, who were the tournament winners in the ending of the previous game). There are also numerous balance changes (such as lessening the damage and life of ratio 1 characters and increasing the damage of ratio 3 and 4 characters) and some aesthetic changes (such as adding additional frames of animation for many characters and changing the color of the life bars to green). All of the hidden characters and features from the previous game are now unlocked by default.
Like The King of Fighters, players assemble teams of multiple characters, which fight each other in one-on-one battles. When a character is defeated, the next character in the team takes his or her place in the next round, and the winning team continues with the same character (with a segment of health restored in proportion to the time left over in the previous round). The match continues until every character on one of the teams is eliminated. If time runs out before a character can be defeated, the character with the most life remaining is the winner. Both characters are eliminated in the case of a draw. The roster is evenly split between Capcom and SNK characters, who are divided into "ratios," ranging from 1 to 4, based on each character's overall strength. Teams of up to four characters can be assembled, but their combined ratios must equal and go no higher than 4.
Characters move with and and crouch with . They backstep or dash with or . There is an option to replace dashing with running (originally introduced in The King of Fighters '96). They jump with and flip back and forth with and . They can "super jump" (a faster and farther jump, trailed by afterimages) by pressing , then , , or quickly. Characters can perform a weak punch with , a hard punch with , a weak kick with , or a strong kick with . Weak attacks are quick but do light damage, while strong attacks do more damage but have a longer startup delay and recovery time. Special moves for each character are done by pairing specific directional combinations with an attack button. Characters can perform a taunt with HOLD START , which is a short animation during which the character is vulnerable to attack. Taunting fills the opponent's power gauge by a slight amount.
Throws and grabs are done by holding or when near an opponent and pressing a strong punch or kick button. Some characters have midair throws as well. Grapple moves cannot be blocked (including special moves involving grappling), but a character can escape a throw and take no damage by likewise holding or and pressing a strong punch or kick button immediately upon being grabbed.
Blocking is done by holding the D-Pad away from the opponent. Characters can block while standing, which blocks against high and mid attacks but not low attacks (such as sweeps), or crouching, which blocks against mid and low attacks but not high attacks (such as jumping attacks and overhead strikes). Special moves still do a small amount of "chip damage" if blocked. If characters block too much, they become "guard crushed" and momentarily stunned and vulnerable to attack; the life bar flashes red before a character is guard crushed. Characters can perform an evasive roll forward by pressing the weak punch and kick buttons (+) simultaneously. Characters are invulnerable during most of the roll, and they can roll through nearby opponents to the other side.
Characters can become dizzy from being attacked repeatedly; they are uncontrollable and vulnerable in this state but can recover more quickly by rapidly pressing back and forth on the D-Pad along with the attack buttons. It is also possible to escape grabs in this way.
Grooves
Players choose one of two modes before selecting their characters, which affects how the power gauge works. The power gauge is empty at the start of each round (though this can be changed to filled in the options).
The power gauge is filled by landing normal moves (including throws) or performing special moves (regardless of whether they connect). When the gauge is full, it gains a level, and the player can accumulate up to three levels of the gauge. The contents of the gauge carries over between rounds (but not between matches).
Every character has super moves that can be performed at the cost of one level of the gauge. These super moves hit more times and do more damage than normal special moves. Every super move has three different levels, with each level costing an additional level of gauge to perform. Higher level super moves typically hit more times and sometimes have other improved characteristics, such as covering a larger area. The level of the move is determined by the button used to perform it: weak punch or kick for level 1, strong punch or kick for level 2, or both punches (or ) or both kicks (or ) simultaneously for level 3.
SNK
The SNK groove is based on the Extra mode from The King of Fighters '94 to The King of Fighters '98.
The power gauge is filled by taking damage (but not by blocking attacks). It can also be filled manually by holding the strong punch and kick buttons (+) simultaneously, though the character is vulnerable to attack while doing this. The gauge fills gradually when charged manually (slowly at first, then more quickly). The contents of the gauge carries over between rounds (but not between matches).
When the power gauge is filled, the character enters "MAX mode," and basic attacks become stronger for a short period as the gauge drains. The gauge drains faster when the meter is filled by blocking attacks or taking damage than when it is filled by manually charging. When characters are in this state, players can perform a super move that immediately consumes the entire power gauge. Characters can perform super moves indefinitely when the health gauge is nearly empty and flashing red. If both requirements are fulfilled (the character's health gauge is flashing red and the character's power gauge is full), the character can perform a "MAX super move" instead that does more damage. Performing a super move when only one of the conditions is fulfilled is equivalent to performing a level 1 super move in the Capcom groove (regardless of what strength of button is used to perform it); when both conditions are fulfilled, it is equivalent to level 3 super move.
Modes
The Dreamcast version of the game has multiple modes. The Pair Match Mode is available from the start. The game no longer has the Secret Shop from the original version since all of the content is unlocked by default, and the Neo Geo Pocket Color linking is removed for the same reason. The Groove Point system of the previous game is retained, but instead of Groove Points being used to unlock content in the Secret Shop, they are now used to unlock secret fights in the Arcade Mode and Pair Match Mode.
Arcade Mode: A single-player mode where the player forms a team of up to four characters (which must be different characters) and fights a series of elimination matches against five randomly selected teams, then against a final boss. The final boss depends on the composition of the player's team, weighted by the number of ratio points. More Capcom points increases the chance that the final boss is the crime boss Geese Howard at Geese Tower; more SNK points increases the chance that the final boss is the Shadaloo henchman M. Bison followed by the dark dictator Vega at the Psycho Drive. If the team composition is evenly split between Capcom and SNK, the final fight is equally likely to be either. The demonic Gouki is fought instead of either if the player earns enough Groove Points by the final match. The game ends if the player loses a match but can be continued an unlimited number of times. A second player can challenge the first by pressing START , with the victor of the match continuing the game. There are eight difficulty levels for computer-controlled opponents.
Vs Mode: A two-player mode where players can choose any characters (which can include the same character multiple times) and any stage and battle each other in elimination matches. Players can choose the maximum ratio points available to them (between one and four) and change the ratio for each character (which changes the character's relative strength). The game keeps track of the number of wins for each player.
Pair Match Mode: A single-player mode that is identical to the Arcade Mode, except every character is worth two ratio points, so teams consist of any two characters. Like the Arcade Mode, a second player can enter the game by pressing START .
Game Replay Mode: A two-player mode where players can play a match (with the same unlockable options as the Vs Mode) and save a replay of the game to a VMU, which can be loaded and watched again at any time. A replay takes 30 blocks of storage.
Training Mode: A practice mode where the player can choose any character and any opponent. The player can set the whether the dummy opponent is non-hostile, hostile, or controlled by a second control pad. Non-hostile opponents can be set to stand, crouch, or jump and guarding or not guard. The player can also toggle the life bar (normal or flashing red) and power gauge (normal or max).
Network Mode: This mode supported competitive online matches over Capcom's Matching Service. Players could also upload high scores or open the official web site to view rankings and high scores or download replays or color schemes.
Link Mode: The game can import customized color schemes from Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000 or create a save file for that game with all of the secrets unlocked (but this save file is only compatible with the Japanese version of the game).
Color Edit Mode: A customization mode where the player can create custom color schemes for any character. Each character has 15 colors that can be changed (by adjusting the red, green, or blue color bars). Custom color schemes can be saved to a VMU.
There are two game speeds, Normal and Turbo (which can be set in the options so players are not asked every time).
