Capcom VS SNK 2 EO ISO

The best 2D fighter released on a major Nintendo console in years. The GameCube controller may not be ideal for this kind of game, though.

One of the few traditional fighters on the Gamecube, Capcom Vs SNK 2 pits charcaters from Capcom's Street Fighter and SNK's King of Fighters against one-another, with some characters from less famous games thrown in for good measure. Exclusive to the EO version of the game is an alternative control style for those who find the traditional method of play two complicated.

Capcom VS SNK 2 is composed almost entirely of classic Street Fighter and SNK fighting techniques, which means lots of charge moves, half and quarter circles, and super moves. What's new to the game are the different "grooves," or fighting styles. Although the "Capcom" and "SNK" grooves were introduced in a previous game, Capcom VS SNK 2 takes this concept a step further by introducing six different grooves: C, A, P, S, N, and K. Depending on which groove you choose, the type and number of fighting techniques you have available changes, with half of the grooves leaning towards traditional Capcom fighting and the other half leaning towards SNK-styled battle. The difference between the two fighting styles is mainly the availability of certain non-lethal moves such as air blocks, dodging, and rolling, with each groove having its own balanced mixture of the said moves.
