Its all about Crossovers, Guest Characters, and companies working together again in the Fighting Game Community so I figure lets take a look at one of the original collaborations! Capcom vs SNK is legendary, straight up. However when people think capcom vs snk, its almost always CvS2 and fair enough, but there was a first Capcom vs SNK fighting game, and that was the Match of the Millennium which not too many people know about, so in the spirit of the grand FGC love-in thats going on right now, lets learn about it and how many of its mechanics set the table for later games!
For those who have had the luxury to own one of the physical Neo Geo Pocket Colors, almost everyone will swear by that click stick. Legitimately the best handheld stick/d-pad ever, and still one of the few sticks I could consistently do the more involved commands on by demand. 360s, 720s, pretzels, Double Somersaults, etc., the clickstick let you do them with no issues whatsoever.
One fun piece of time-context: At the time, the PS1 was infamous for not being able to handle tag team fighting games like the Vs series. It was MINDBLOWING that a handheld could handle it.
Evo is soon, very soon. We know we got that Marvel vs Capcom collection coming. Perhaps in the spirit of the great FGC love in thats happening right now, we could get another collection? A CvS collection? sending positive energy towards that 🙏
So excited for EVO this year. I hope you do one of your "what to expect" videos to get the hype train rolling, there should be hella announcements and reveals, I believe. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻
I forgot to mention in my other comments: one of the lovely aspects of this game? It takes its command throw ethos from SNK, meaning normal throws don't combo...but command throws DO. ANd I don't mean hit throws, I mean actual command throws. If you ever wanted to know what Zangief was like when you could properly combo directly into his piledrivers? This game lets you live that dream, and it feels just as powerful as you can imagine.
CVS1 has my favorite presentation of any fighter. The stage introductions, the music, the menus. CVS2 has more of everything but CVS1 is the pinnacle of presentation in my opinion.
I like Match of the Millennium because Zangief has never looked more like a brick. Edit: now that I've actually watched the video, what Capcom should do is bring Darkstslkers back but make it universally named Vampire Savior to capitalize of market confusion with Vampire Survivor. Hell, the should make the titular Vampire Survivor into a crossover character while they're at it.
Great video! I miss retro aesthetics and the quality of games/tech 'Made in Japan'. I'd also add some Double Dragon and Metal Slug into the mix out of sheer sentiment. I was so close to visiting Japan at one point. I had experience with MoCap and in late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity to visit the place that inspired artists like Toriyama San. R.I.P. and movies like Akira and Ghost in the Shell.
Fittingly, since we're getting Terry in SF6 soon, Terry is so much fun in this game. The combos he can get, especially in the corner, are kind of crazy for a game like this. It feels like he has a bigger moveset in this than he does in some of the mainline Fatal Fury and KOF games.
I think forgotten is very fair to say considering most people don't know it exists, or even that the NGPC existed. I have never seen one of those in person.
Roofroof my dawg u took some time about this one!!! Man this SVC is nothing but le most precious to my heart...back in the days i was a damn french student moving to London; with a NeoGeo Pocket color as my only system..No Tv and few friends and i spent hours on mini-games and various tag or single matches. But we have to tell the truth..the full experience is only vivid with the NGPC's fabulous stick!! Switch and Steam releases lack this physical experience. NGPC is still an awesome system to get your kids into Metal Slug; SVC , Neo Turf Masters and Sonic. My 5yrs daughter is in love with it. Once again Roofroof u made it^^ Le salute as toujours ;)
I think its important to note that this game is available to play today, its on Switch and Steam and its cheap (especially during all the summer sales). Its really fun, as explained in the video, but also has the typical emulator stuff like save states and rewinds.
I remember when I first saw and played Capcom vs SNK I was with my wife she was my girlfriend at the time at Super Kmart I looked over and saw Ryu vs Iori I was like oh my goodness I played it and I couldn't believe this actually happened my wife didn't know I was a nerd and that I grew up playing video games later on I she bought me Sega Dreamcast Game Cube PS2 and all the other systems I love playing Street Fighter to this day When she was pregnant and was going into labor with my first born I was playing Street Fighter Alpha 3 now all 3 of my kids play Street Fighter and own the 1up arcade systems thanks for this video memories
This game is a blast! I played it in emulator about 2 years ago and its visual style still holds up. There was a small indie game built to look like this but sadly its abandoned and never finished
when i was a wee lad i loved both "obscure" (only saw them in magazines cause i couldnt afford them) fighting games and handheld/portable consoles and SNK occupied so much of my mindspace with stuff like the various SNK fighters on the Neo Geo MVS and the Pocket/Pocket Color and seeing screenshots of this game in magazines absolutely blew my little mind away... irony being back then what i REALLY wanted is Mortal Kombat vs Street Fighter but now i would maybe forsake every other fighting game on the market for a Capcom vs SNK 3
This game absolutely rules. All the NGPC fighters do, really. It's just a shame that nobody's ever gotten proper netplay to work; even the official rereleases only managed to pull off local multiplayer, and it's through an insane hackjob where it runs the game twice and dynamically reveals or hides the 2P screen.
I LOVED this game back in the day. I loved my Neo geo pocket, too. Friend of mine went to Japan and I got him to pick one up for me. Had it waaaay before the NA release. Felt pretty cool.😎
This is a great companion video to the one by GuileWinQuote about SVC Chaos. The NeoGeo Pocket was so fun! I'm pretty sure I played this back in the day and it was great. Fun fact: Their analog stick has yet to be matched on a portable system.
Just here for the Rush Combo into SPD. Don't mind me. (Well that and my favorite version of Grooves) So glad I got the chance to get this game for my birthday when it came out.
I always wanted a NeoGeo Pocket Color when I was a kid but 1) my family was poor and 2) I could never find one in the game shops nearby. Would have loved to play the gems on that machine back then!
Great video! I love the Code Mystics ports. Their Garou finally got me into SNK's fighting games thanks to the training mode after years of dismissing them (due to no practice mode in Mame lol)
While CVS2 is overall a better game I prefer CVS1's presentation (stage intros and Finest KOs in particular). SVC MOTM is great and I love the unique Olympic minigames. I spent more time on the Felicia rhythm game than I care to explain.
I want to say two things I highly recommend in CVS and MVC4: 1. (CVS): now that everything will be new after 20 years the game should be remake. Like the characters, mechanics and stages 2. (MVC4) they should create a new mechanic, not adding the stones, the new mechanic should be more like MKX where each character get a three variations and those variations should get there own special moves, advantages and disadvantages
Loved the neo geo pocket color, had match of the millennium back in the day! Wish I would've kept it instead of trading it in for some Dreamcast games.
I still have a brand new boxed NGPC to SEGA Dreamcast link cable.... Everybody in our house had an NGPC and copy of that game. I regret selling mine years ago.
C-mon roof. Rush mode is like Darkstalkers with the chain attacks. With added ability to run. I think it even said so in the manual. I miss my Tiger Pocket 😢
its a really amazing game, so much fun and so much to do and also amazing mechanics and amazing roster, just an overall amazing game and its super cheap and on sale its a must buy!!
Forgotten?? Not for me! From the presentation, gameplay, OST, mini-story & all the way to the Easter Eggs: MoTM is a HUGE favorite of mine. Twas a Day 1 buy for me.
Hoping Terry and Mai do well in SF6 because that may bode well for a new Capcom vs. SNK That said Capcom vs. SNK 2 is my favorite fighting game of all time so there may be a bias
It's almost a shame, since I can so easily visualize a super charming console version of this that would be like an evolution of Pocket Fighter. Also, Mai trying to call out anyone else as a bimbo is pretty rich lol.
The new Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics they didn't even consider Capcom Vs. SNK 2000 And Capcom Vs. SNK Pro 2001...🤔 why is that, your thoughts
I played this gem of a game and I really appreciated it's replayability. Also for E.Ryu fans he has a unlockable super that I'm sure is only in this game where he shoots a MvC styled beam. This was a time to believe, and it's amazing to see how far we've come as a genre and fan base. Actually there's some games inspired by this and other NGP fighting games. Thanks for the vid, it's a bit close to the heart.
I play those on pc emulators that game and card game even the kof pocket versions good old times I played back on 2003 1 friend have cd rom full of snes nes neo geo emulator
How is it forgotten. When it on the switch. Yes it's on the nintendo switch. So why is he's saying it's forgotten. Say it should be released on all platforms

I had this game and the Neo geo pocket at launch..100% agree it was glorious!
Yes to all that. It was a great little unit, I got huge fun out of it.

@@GenderNeutch yep we will be doing one of those vids, although its just a bit too early for it just yet, will wait a bit to get closer to the day of
Still have my NeoGeo Pocket Color with this game, all characters unlocked. Best portable fighter ever.
I've always noticed that the "Ryu Super Moves History" or "Kyo Supers Evolution" kind of videos rarely mention this gem.
I forgot to mention in my other comments: one of the lovely aspects of this game? It takes its command throw ethos from SNK, meaning normal throws don't combo...but command throws DO. ANd I don't mean hit throws, I mean actual command throws. If you ever wanted to know what Zangief was like when you could properly combo directly into his piledrivers? This game lets you live that dream, and it feels just as powerful as you can imagine.
7:55 this is the best dan super taunt ever, its great how dan was capcom's joke character aimed at snk, and snk took the joke and ran with it
CVS1 has my favorite presentation of any fighter. The stage introductions, the music, the menus. CVS2 has more of everything but CVS1 is the pinnacle of presentation in my opinion.
Capcom vs SNK 1 is superior in terms of aesthetics and presentation. Saying it's bland is odd to hear at first, but I respect your opinion.
The one time they redrew Morrigan.
I knew about the game but it’s crazy how many modes it had like that’s crazy
I like Match of the Millennium because Zangief has never looked more like a brick.
Edit: now that I've actually watched the video, what Capcom should do is bring Darkstslkers back but make it universally named Vampire Savior to capitalize of market confusion with Vampire Survivor. Hell, the should make the titular Vampire Survivor into a crossover character while they're at it.
Think about vampire survivors is there really isn't any vampires in it lmao

That audition video on ur channel, is that you? You got my vote bro!
@@aCantbreakMea Hi, yeah, thnx for checking it out!
Fittingly, since we're getting Terry in SF6 soon, Terry is so much fun in this game. The combos he can get, especially in the corner, are kind of crazy for a game like this. It feels like he has a bigger moveset in this than he does in some of the mainline Fatal Fury and KOF games.
Awesome game with a suprisingly great "feel" for a lttle handheld. Plus I have a real soft spot for the cardfigter games to
"You had guts... mop them up."
Forgotten? I brought an NGPC specifically for it then brought it again on Switch.
I think forgotten is very fair to say considering most people don't know it exists, or even that the NGPC existed. I have never seen one of those in person.
I remember I was the only kid my age with a neogeo pocket color, and match the millennium was amazing.
CVS1 had the most awesome select screen and music to go along with it. It brought me WAY back
Rooflemonger always comes through with the clutch content
Mai calling the kettle black XD
I really hope SF6 gets 1 guest character from all the biggest fighting games that would be crazy after no guests
Roofroof my dawg u took some time about this one!!!
Man this SVC is nothing but le most precious to my heart...back in the days i was a damn french student moving to London; with a NeoGeo Pocket color as my only system..No Tv and few friends and i spent hours on mini-games and various tag or single matches.

Once again Roofroof u made it^^
Le salute as toujours ;)
I'm glad you checked out Match of the Milennium. It's, easily, the second best SvC/CvS game out of the quadrilogy
Idk if you do all of your video game documentaries like this, but you narrating with 8-bit jams in the background’s a nice touch
👍🏾🕹️🎶
Still have my NGPC and play this game regularly.
Cvs1 had some of the best backgrounds in fighting game history!

I loved my NGPC, great little handheld. This and Cardfighters Clash were both great games.
Cardfighter Clash was slept on too!
I appreciate you making this video. This sounds like it was a very cool game, full of features taht the newer games could really use.
This game absolutely rules. All the NGPC fighters do, really. It's just a shame that nobody's ever gotten proper netplay to work; even the official rereleases only managed to pull off local multiplayer, and it's through an insane hackjob where it runs the game twice and dynamically reveals or hides the 2P screen.
I never forgot about it! Graaaaahhhhh!!!
I LOVED this game back in the day. I loved my Neo geo pocket, too. Friend of mine went to Japan and I got him to pick one up for me. Had it waaaay before the NA release. Felt pretty cool.😎

I got the game on switch! I hope we get a Capcom vs SNK collection that includes all the games made by both companies.
I liked this one but yeah CvS2 overshadows this with just how special the sequel was. I still had fun when I first played this :)
While CVS2 is overall a better game I prefer CVS1's presentation (stage intros and Finest KOs in particular).
SVC MOTM is great and I love the unique Olympic minigames. I spent more time on the Felicia rhythm game than I care to explain.
I want to say two things I highly recommend in CVS and MVC4:

Great video! Respect your elders! Good times with no dlcs! 🏆
I had match of the millennium on original hardware and it was amazing. Neo Geo pocket was super fun to control mainly due to the weird stick
That is a great game. The joy stick for this system was also great
I hope we get a Capcom vs. SNK collection. I never played them before, but I would love to see that to come into fruition.
what I would do for a cvs2 collection
Love match of the millennium and fighting games on handhelds in general. Been playing this a ton since my Chinese handheld came in
Love you, Rooflemonger
I still have my Neo Geo Pocket and this game. Still my favorite of all the Cap vs SNK games.
I bought the Neo Geo Pocket specifically because of this game. This game was the best and had so much content.
I bought the game twice, on pc and switch on release
I have a physical cart of the game plus a real NGPC
I still have a brand new boxed NGPC to SEGA Dreamcast link cable.... Everybody in our house had an NGPC and copy of that game. I regret selling mine years ago.
This dlc plus Elena what I need to cop sf6 , I’m just soooooo hypedddd abt it
It's super cheap on steam right now. I'm getting it ASAP.
I *just* bought and played some of this, it was so dam fun. Oh my god it's so fun.
C-mon roof.
Rush mode is like Darkstalkers with the chain attacks.
With added ability to run.
I think it even said so in the manual.
I miss my Tiger Pocket 😢
Ok. You got it. 😅
Had all these games still do 🔥
Vs games are always the coolest
Ghost Trick is the best mini game IMO.
Shit, I remember this game it was a blast with an old friend of mine. Trying to remember if it was on the Saturn or Dreamcast as well.
Snk vs capcom chaos manga was fire
its a really amazing game, so much fun and so much to do and also amazing mechanics and amazing roster, just an overall amazing game and its super cheap and on sale its a must buy!!
Forgotten?? Not for me! From the presentation, gameplay, OST, mini-story & all the way to the Easter Eggs: MoTM is a HUGE favorite of mine.
Twas a Day 1 buy for me.
I grew up on this game! My thumbs were purple from playing this on my ps1. Absolute LOVE THIS GAME! Although it was the PS1 version and was AMAZING!
Wow this game seems super cool.
It reminds me a lot of Pocket Rumble, actually, which is another 2-button game.
I remembered I bought it when it came out in the Switch since it could be a potential for a new CvS like game since CvS2 was my favorite
This game actually has Leona and is on sale right now on Steam!?
yep
Why we are playing Marvel vs Capcom in various platforms and no a single reissue of this wonderful games?
Hoping Terry and Mai do well in SF6 because that may bode well for a new Capcom vs. SNK
That said Capcom vs. SNK 2 is my favorite fighting game of all time so there may be a bias
It's almost a shame, since I can so easily visualize a super charming console version of this that would be like an evolution of Pocket Fighter. Also, Mai trying to call out anyone else as a bimbo is pretty rich lol.
i own and love it
Snk vs Capcom 2 was my favorite game on dream cast other than mvscap.
Praying for powerstone
A damn Leona was in this game but not in the rest
The new Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics they didn't even consider Capcom Vs. SNK 2000 And Capcom Vs. SNK Pro 2001...🤔 why is that, your thoughts
Nice i just copped on steam for like 2$
I used to play the SHIT out of this game 😍
Primal Instinct vs Darkstalkers. That's a real crossover.
you mean primal rage or killer instinct?
You can play all cvs games now on a cheap chinese emulator handheld for $30 bucks even dreamcast fighting games
Played the shit out of this
I played this gem of a game and I really appreciated it's replayability. Also for E.Ryu fans he has a unlockable super that I'm sure is only in this game where he shoots a MvC styled beam. This was a time to believe, and it's amazing to see how far we've come as a genre and fan base. Actually there's some games inspired by this and other NGP fighting games.
Thanks for the vid, it's a bit close to the heart.
That game is so good for a 2 button fighter
Does anyone know how to get this game to work on Steam Deck? It runs ok but can’t map my controls
I play those on pc emulators that game and card game even the kof pocket versions good old times I played back on 2003 1 friend have cd rom full of snes nes neo geo emulator
More so Robert than Ryo. 👍
Marvel Vs Disney plz
💪🏾💙
6:21 you need to call out spoiler alert before you say that 😅
In what way does Dan look like Ryo Sakazaki? Lost some cred points there mate.
Capcom vs snk 3 when?
one day hopefully
Hey psst.. capcom. CVS3!! I'll be your best friend....
How is it forgotten. When it on the switch. Yes it's on the nintendo switch. So why is he's saying it's forgotten. Say it should be released on all platforms
cause 99% of people don't know what it is lol
