    I think what could have made this game half way decent, is if Capcom just threw every sprite they had into it (obviously excluding licensed characters) , make it a 3v3, and ridiculously over the top. That way, you could at least enjoy the spectacle, and the sheer roster size.

      That would actually be kind of neat. An official Capcom game where you can pick the actual SFII, SFIII, Alpha, and CVS versions of Street Fighter characters(instead of just gameplay style variations its the actual sprites with the gameplay) in addition to a huge mass of characters from the classic Capcom library would be novel for the insanity at the very least.

      @@Athenya Most of those were sadly not well known in the US. Anything SNK related was basically a “literal who?” for most people here. Arcades were dying out, 3D fighters on consoles was the thing everyone was getting into and the FGC was incredibly niche at the time. I also think the US FGC had a bit of a Capcom bias, so almost anything that wasn’t Capcom was ignored, even if it was popular like Tekken, Soul Calibur, Dead or Alive or even Mortal Kombat. Coincidentally, 3 of those were 3D fighters and MK had moved unto 3D as well. “Anime” fighters were also HATED at the time, so something like Melty Blood, Arcana Heart and so on was immediately shunned, and that sadly included Guilty Gear. Like, if it wasn’t a 2D Capcom fighting game, a lot of people didn’t seem to care

    There was much potential with the “Code Holders” title, an ultimate villain threatening to destroy Metro City and Capcom heroes needing to join forces to save the innocents. I can totally see this as a 3 vs 3 battle, for in game story you come across a group of fighters who are temporarily brainwashed and that’s why you have to battle (hell that could even be how you include villain characters, they don’t care about innocents but want revenge against the guy who had taken control of them). Then imagine the teams moving through the city: Haggar, Felicia & Sakura or Ryu, J. Talbain, & Batsu. Maybe start with a small story based roster but as you play the story and beat brainwashed allies, you then unlock them so this way you’d have to play through all the various story based groups to get the full roster. Something to think about.

The only rant or proof that it wasn't playtested enough was a few game breaking instances; like having a Yamazaki and Chun Li interaction freeze the game. SvC: Chaos was secret character heaven (Except for well.... Dan). And these chars have no adjustments to their damage or health and kept their movesets. Fighting against "Turtle" Goenitz, Mars People, Dimitri and Zero, Combo and damage monsters like Violent Ken and Geese. Holy snap. It was 1/20 that we had someone use a normal roster character as a main in that game. The majority is a secret character main

    While the FGC was suffering from the “The Dark Timeline”, these games were supposed to hold the fort:
    Marvel Vs.Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes
    Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike
    Capcom Fighting Evolution
    But the end of the 90’s - Early 2000’s were rough: Companies changing,arcades dying and players’ taste evolving contributed.Also,it seems Capcom devs lacked motivation in this moment:Product was simply uninspired.

      It wasn't much of a "dark timeline" (implying the games we got were bad) it was more of a drought. Or a isolation period as most people that were buying the fighters and keeping up with the community during the 6th gen were only the hardcore. Not so good games like the MK games or DBZ Budokai 3 did a fantastic job progressing the genre in terms of single-player. Of course the OVERRATED Street Fighter IV set the genre back. Ignorance was a beneficiary factor for SFIV's success.

      Didn't Armageddon sell pretty well and, while not critically acclaimed, still received decent scores?

    I have to thank this game tho, because I wouldn't have been into fighting games without it. This was the first 2D fighting game I ever played and I haven't seen anything like it, I was mind blown when I saw Ryu pull a hadoken and I remember trying to do it but with no luck. Now I'm really good at playing fighting games and I love this community.
