As
a long time gamer, I enjoy games that can offer a fun experience. In this day
and age, we tend to forget that but to me that’s the most important aspect of
being a gamer. With that said, the game that I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying
for many years is Capcom Vs SNK 2 (CVS2) on the PS2. Now I’ve already mention
my love for Street
Fighter and Tekken
2,
but in all of the fighting games I’ve played in my lifetime, CVS2 ranks at the
top of my list because it was such a fun game to play.

CVS2
was the “highly anticipated” sequel to the original Capcom Vs SNK that came out
in 2000. CVS2 featured fighters from various fighting games across the Capcom
and SNK universe. The Capcom side featured fighters from Darkstalkers, Final
Fight, Rival Schools, and various versions of the Street Fighter series. SNK
featured fighters from Art of Fighting, Fatal Fury, Garou: Mark of The Wolves,
The King of Fighters series, The Last Blade, and Samurai Showdown. The game
offered six different groove types to choose from, representing various modes
and styles of play from previous Capcom and SNK fighting games.
C-Groove
(Street Fighter Alpha 3 Style)
A-Groove
(Street Fighter Alpha 3 V-Ism Style)
P-Groove
(Street Fighter III Style)
S-Groove
(King of Fighters Style)
N-Groove
(Classic King of Fighters Style)
K-Groove
(Samurai Showdown Style)

To
me the different groove types are just one of the reasons why the game is so
much fun. For example, if you were to play as Ryu you can pick one of the SNK
grooves and have a completely different experience compared to playing his more
traditional CAP grooves. The other aspect of this game is the awesome special intros
between Capcom and SNK characters before the start of the fight. It really adds
a special element to the game. Oh and who can forget the Dramatic and Finest
KO’s in the game either. One of the main reasons this game is so damn fun is
that it gave me a chance to play as the SNK characters. Prior to CVS2, I’ve
never played any SNK fighting game so this gave me an opportunity to play such
characters like Terry, Iori, Kyo, King, and Kim. I actually started playing The
King of Fighters series because of CVS2.

CVS2
is a very popular game that ranks high on every fighting game aficionado’s
list. To this day many gamers are clamoring for Capcom Vs SNK 3 to happen (it’s
unlikely though). It brought together an impressive list of fighters from both
Capcom and SNK and featured amazing game-play. While later incarnations of the
game came out after its initial release back in 2001 yielded less than
“favorable” reviews *cough* PSN version *cough*, it’s still an amazing game.
