Word: SvC is NOT CvS

SNK producer Yauyuki Oda, who’s accountable for among the developer’s strong fashionable preventing video games, has recommended that each SNK and Capcom are concerned with the opportunity of reviving the SNK vs. Capcom (SvC) sequence — a crossover franchise that has remained dormant because the 2006 Card Fighters Conflict sequence.

Talking in an interview with VGC, Oda spoke of the current artwork collaboration that occurred at preventing sport match EVO earlier this month, which noticed characters from SNK and Capcom’s respective preventing sport sequence squaring off for the primary time in a few years. Pressed for the opportunity of a revival of the crossover sequence, Oda reacted with positivity, noting that Capcom itself has some curiosity within the risk.

“Undoubtedly sooner or later, that’s one thing that I feel everyone on all sides, in each events, are concerned with making a actuality,” famous Oda. “Particularly after we noticed the response to the [Evo artwork]. It helped us reconfirm that that’s in all probability one of the needed issues from the preventing sport group throughout your complete world. […] We haven’t really performed something with Capcom, even on character collaboration stuff. In order that poster was step one in the direction of possibly one thing like that taking place sooner or later.”

Now, whereas I’m understandably frothing on the idea of such a comeback, there are two distinct factors to be made. Firstly SvC is not the identical as CvS. So Oda just isn’t speaking about the opportunity of Capcom vs. SNK 3, and is probably going referencing a possible crossover title produced by SNK itself. Secondly, at no level are we distinctly referencing “a brand new preventing sport.” And, given SNK’s penchant for facet actions, we should always maintain off on our fervor just a little, lest we discover ourselves trying down the barrel of a cellular RPG… or a brand new vary of pachinko machines.

Nonetheless, on the optimistic facet, I’d undoubtedly be up for an SvC: Chaos 2. Whereas I admit it didn’t have practically the maintain on me that the legendary Capcom vs. SNK 2 had on… properly… nearly each preventing sport fan in existence, the opportunity of seeing Avenue Fighter, Darkstalkers, Deadly Fury, and Samurai Shodown characters locking horns as soon as once more may be very thrilling.

Time will inform, however I’m actually not holding my breath.

Till such a time, SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Conflict is offered to obtain on Nintendo Swap.
