No, no, no, this isn't a podcast weighing the entire output of two video game publishers against one another, we're talking about the very specific crossover series of fighting* games that SNK and Capcom created featuring their two stables of characters.

Obviously Diamond Feit is hosting this week, joined by returning genre experts Kevin Bunch and John Learned. However we also welcome first-time Retronauts guest TheSeventhForce; check out his YouTube channel for his many videos about characters in the VS. series!

Good episode, good series, good insights, and good golly a lot of expletives from Diamond! (I think a certain person, we'll call him Stuart G... No, that's too obvious, S. Gipp, has been a terrible influence!) I would love to see Capcom VS SNK 3 someday, but I really wish they'd bring back the sprites. As much as I love the Marvel VS games, I could never connect with 3 like I did the others. (KoF XIII is gorgeous!)

Kevin mentioned that many players don't like the version of Xmen vs Street Fighter on the MvC Collection and today Capcom announces an update that lets you pick which version of XmenvsSF you play! It also includes a lot of other nice updates like a proper Versus mode. Very eerie but I'm utterly delighted that Capcom is listening to fans and giving these collections the love and attention they deserve.

The Card Fighters Clash fanbase will never forgive this snub. Neither of us.

Maybe 8 or so years ago I played in an SVC Chaos tournament on arcade hardware. I bought the cart from the arcade the same day for $90 for my big red 2-slot. One of my favorite arcade purchases. Also my favorite combo video comes from SvC Chaos. Search aofdb svc chaos and you'll find it. From the time when combo videos were a whole production with visual effects and music and everything.

CvS1 is a sentimental favorite. It was my first 2D fighter on the Dreamcast and I played it a LOT. Great episode! I’d love to see this crew return to discuss more fighting games in the future.

I love it when you do fighting game episodes! I played the shit out of Capcom vs SNK 2 EO on Gamecube because I was very happy to have a Capcom fighting game on a Nintendo system after the drought from the N64 (aside from Fighter's Destiny 1 + 2, please do an episode on that!). I didn't ever use the GCism mode, which was the easy/modern mode that you spoke of. The game was my gateway to other SNK games which I bought from the Wii's virtual console. I was very happy that they were much cheaper now than they were on the NEO GEO! The Capcom vs SNK 2 game got a lot of play in college on various Student films that I worked on. I even bought special Hori controllers that had bigger dpads on them. They pretty much looked like SNES controllers so it felt much better. Anyway, I loved this episode! Keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to a Tatsunoku vs Capcom/Tekken x Capcom Episode.

TheSeventhForce was a great guest, would love to hear them on more episodes!

I love KOF, Samurai Shodown, and Fatal Fury, but Last Blade 2 is hands down my favorite SNK fighter and Hibiki is hands down my favorite character in it. She's one of the reasons I imported Capcom vs SNK 2 for my Dreamcast. Hibiki Takane is the best girl. In fact all Hibiki's are great; Dan, Ryoga, Suntory probably.

CvS2 was the reason I finally bought an Xbox so I could play it online. I played that a lot and enjoyed it. At least you could turn off the EO controls 😆
