#SNK Vs. Capcom The Match of a Millennium

Game 6: SNK Vs. Capcom: The Match of The Millennium (Jan 2023) 💖

There is always someone more talented than you, that old saying? I think this game is encompasses that. I honestly didn't think I get such an outstanding fighting game experience on the little Neo Geo Pocket, but here The Match of The Millennium is to tell me exactly that it is what it says on the box. There is so much love and dedication to this game, and it's sources of material. From the various character sprites to mini games to it's music, this game shines above and beyond the library of Neo Geo Pocket.

Nearly every character in this game has their own soundtrack, additional super moves to unlock, and unique introductions to other characters. To say that this game has personality is honestly underselling it. While understandably the idea of locked super moves and secret characters has been a hot button issue with fighting games; the way The Match of The Millennium does it in an Unobtrusive way. You unlock fighters through beating arcade mode, and on various difficulties you unlock more blocks that are blocking said new character to be added to the roster. In addition, everything you do gets you a certain amount of money to spend on various goodies, most of which being super moves. In addition to arcade and versus mode, you can play the SNK Vs. Capcom Olympic mode to get more money to spend. What makes Olympic so interesting tho is that instead of regular fighting game stuff, we also get a variety of mini games to play featuring characters from either company. While each game may have varying amount difficulty, there is honestly enough here to at least charm a player to play it.

I don't want to be selling the fighting for this game short though as it more than holds up it's own compared to other Neo Geo Pocket games. Heck, I'd even argue that The Match of The Millennium is such a well done fighter that it gives plenty of console games a run for it's money. The controls are just so responsive, they kept everything simple, and in a lot of ways plays better than some other versus fighter games. You're honestly just going to be getting a lot fast paced fighting akin to street fighter II rather than the touch of death comboing the likes of Marvel vs. Capcom tend to have. While both types of fighting are a blast to play, it was clear why they made the game the way they did, and honestly I feel is a good showcase of how simple is sometimes better.

SNK did an amazing job with The Match of The Millennium. If there is any game that convinced me the power of the Neo Geo Pocket, it be this game. While I doubt we will ever see a rise of the Neo Geo, I'm at least thankful for making such a simple robust versus fighting game that has uddles of charm like The Match of The Millennium does. If you haven't had the chance to play this game, and consider yourself a fan of fighting games, don't miss out on this one.

The 12 cartoon character screens you can see by putting the Neo Geo Pocket Color game SNK vs. Capcom: The Match of the Millennium in a black and white Neo Geo Pocket! Or emulating it in the emulator NeoPop, anyway. ^ _^

Session: https://youtu.be/Dhuadp6paeE

The NeoPop emulator lets you force the emulated game to play as if it was either in the color or the black and white system; it can also emulate having the system language set to either English or Japanese in the system BIOS.

The game here is a dump from my JP version of the cartridge--I don't know that software-wise it's actually any different from the NA version, though! Anyhow, with NeoPop set to English, it just gives a sorta generic two-screen message about how you should use a Color system--but when set to Japanese, there's loads of dialog lines for the Capcom and SNK characters in the illustration! The lettering in the illustrations stays in English, though.

When you power on in black and white, the game shows you one of the cartoon images; the next time you power on, it shows you the next one, and cycles through them like that, in a fixed order, as you do more power resets.

heyo! i saw ur ace beam pixel art n was wondering if i could cross stitch it? i dont want to sell it or anything, its just super sick n i'd like to hang up a cs of it on my wall :D

i know that different artists have dif rules bout their art n wanted to check with u first before i did anything ^-^

Hey! I have no problems with you wanting to cross-stitch the Ace Beam thing – it's mostly just an edit of a pre-existing animation from the game, so I don't know if I could really class it as mine in the first place – but thanks for asking anyway!

Also my mind is still kinda blown from how popular that post got compared to my others lol

『Capcom vs. SNK 2∶ Mark of the Millennium 2001』 Yuri & Sakura

Whereas every SNK character was given a brand new set of sprites for Capcom vs. SNK 1 & 2, only half of Capcom's cast received original sprites. The other half simply use their sprites from the Street Fighter Alpha series, albeit slightly resized to better match the proportions of everyone else.

SNK vs. Capcom: The Match of the Millennium (NGPC)

Session: https://youtu.be/hIpoZyyF8xQ

[retrogamingloft]

Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000 is a classic crossover fighting game that brings together iconic characters from two of the most renowned franchises in the genre: Capcom's Street Fighter series and SNK's The King of Fighters series.

Released initially for arcades in the year 2000, with subsequent ports to consoles like the Dreamcast, the game was a collaboration between the two prominent gaming companies, Capcom and SNK. The gameplay mechanics of Capcom vs. SNK blend elements from both franchises, offering a mix of familiar fighting styles and techniques. Players can choose from a diverse roster of fighters, each with their own unique movesets and special abilities.

From the fiery martial arts of Ryu and Ken (you know all too well he's my guy) to the swift strikes of Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui, the game provides a wide range of characters for players to master and explore.

One of the standout features of Capcom vs. SNK is its "Ratio System," which allows players to assemble their team of fighters based on different power levels. This system adds an extra layer of strategy to the gameplay, as players must balance their team composition to match up against their opponents effectively.

Visually, the game boasts colorful and detailed 2D sprites, showcasing the signature art styles of both Capcom and SNK. The backgrounds are vibrant and dynamic, featuring iconic locations from each franchise, adding to the immersive experience of the battles.

While I'm not particularly drawn to crossover titles, as blending two distinct narrative universes can often be challenging, I must admit that the collaboration between Capcom and SNK resulted in a game with solid gameplay and a strong nostalgic appeal.

It's evident why this title holds a special place in the hearts of the fighting game community, often being hailed as a landmark crossover that united two titans of the genre.

P.S. As always, I'm easing back into things starting from the easiest level
