The only place where their more popular then SNK is the US, so their not overlord's of any sort. I have a feeling that at one point or another they'll be laying down some new 2-D sprites, but that won't be till down the road.
EDIT:I take back what I said, Capcom had a lot of good 2-D game offering during the 90's. I just personally don't care for a lot of them. I'm not huge of the Final Fight style of Beat Em UP or Megaman games. I like their 80's stuff much better so I forgot about all their 90's stuff like 3 Wonders, Eco Fighters and Varth.
Keep in mind that the only reason SNK is more popular has to do with how cheap & cost efficient SNK games actually are.
Especially when you stop to consider that most neo geo arcade cabinets can store up to four different games.
It's for this reason alone why SNK is more popular worldwide.
(In the poorer countries.)
Neogeo games are also easier to pirate & hack. Especially when compared to naomi games.
SNK's popularity doesn't really have anything to do with the actual quality of the games.
It's more or less accessibility than anything else.
Japan itself pretty much plays every single fighting game there is. Mainly because they made practically every fighting game that was actually decent.
Popularity of a fighting game in Japan tends to change between seasons.
Right now Japan is more into Tekken 6 than anything else.
*cough* TEKKEN SUCKS! *cough* (Tomonobu Itagaki told me to say that.)
I remember a couple years back that everybody was into VF 4.
When I was in Japan everybody was playing Tekken 4, VF 4, kof 2002, & Street Fighter. (SFA3, & SF3 3rd strike.)
Korea on the other hand does indeed favour SNK. Considering that SNK games actually feature Korean characters who look Korean. (Such as Kim.)
Namco is also immensely popular in Korea. (Seung Mina, Bob, Hwang, etc.)
On that note. All hail SNK for keeping fluid 2d animation alive.
and chunli looks aslo sf2 ish, i like her ratio of thighs isnt that big
http://i30.tinypic.com/smbzw6.jpghttp://i30.tinypic.com/10r2238.jpghttp://i26.tinypic.com/okrlgj.jpg
Chun Li has always had big thighs. She just got bigger when she grew up in 3rd strike. (She's in her 30's in that game.)
Sigh, I must be the only non Black/Afircan individual in the world who loves big thighs.
It can never be too big. As long as she has "Little in tha middle but she got much back".
(flat abdomen, wide hips & thighs.)
I mean shit, SF3's Chun Li isn't even that big. She's average.
(For a Black/Latina woman. Sure Chun Li is Chinese, but I have many vids hosted somewhere in the net with Japanese women who have bigger thighs than the Chunster herself.)
Makes me wish I was living in the 1950's where real women with voluptuous curves were actually prized as the epitome of feminine booty... excuse me beauty, beauty.
I'm the type of guy who can't even get it up when looking at a playboy or hustler. It has nothing to do with impotence. I'm just not into the rail thin standard. A lot of these women resemble men in drag with haphazard boob jobs.
It's my opinion that most of us men are actually closet homo sexuals.
We are becoming one with our inner Roman nature.
It just so happens that there's a loophole.
We can still be considered straight as long as we nail scrawny boyish looking women with poontangs in between their legs.
I say this, because I'm one of the straigh-*test*-('") people in the world.
I don't play sports, because I can't stand being in a locker room full of sweaty ass men.
That & I think games were you fight over balls, bounce balls, hit balls, kick balls, is straight up gay as hell. Especially when people yell at you for fumbling the ball, lol.
Hell any man who so much as lays a finger on me. Such as a hug, or even a high five will get a swift uppercut to the throat.
Seriously think about it. A lot of us men do unintentionally gay shit, because we think it's manly.
Seriously I'm feeling sexually repressed in todays society, because so many women in todays world are being pressured to be 5 sizes smaller than they actually are. Naturally big women should be proud to be big. Most men are just hating, because they ain't man enough to handle the merchandise.
Anyway uh, where was I, oh yeah Chun Li's thighs.
nsfwhttp://animeonly.org/albums/2007_06_11/jigglygirlscom/chun_li_glow_wet_final_900.jpg
Seriously that's a woman. Fuck scrawny bitches. Except the girl in my avatar. She's a hot bony girl.
http://i32.tinypic.com/23mpwza.jpg <<<shit amazing fireball effect
Can't argue with that. That fireball was one of the first signs that this was going to be a Marvel vs style game. (Rather than SNK versus.)
Why you always breaking the forum? lol
It has something to with malformed bbcodes.
I'm trying to fix it myself, but I'm not sure where the obstruction originated.
decoy's post signifies that the malformed bb coding occurred with one of the earlier posts in the thread.
This is just based off what I heard about the hardware their using. PS3 would be really overdoing it. Capcom seems likely to go with a budget gameplan at this point.
I've been hearing those rumours myself. It does seem quite feasible especially when you consider that this game is only going to be released in Japan.
PS2 has a larger user base in jpn than any of the 3 current gen systems out right now.
Rumblefish was released on the PS2, & that game's gfx looks about on par with this game.
(Hopefully Tatsuko's animation will be far more fluid.)
Dalemushashi- 05-22-2008
I think most of Capcom's popularity comes from the fact that they were in American arcades at a time that a lot of today's gamers garner Nostalgia from. And Richer American gamers who don't pirate got to play more on their home consoles from Capcom. We can talk about quality all we want but distribution is what makes a fan base.
Are you nuts? I love huge thighed women. Anorexic chicks make me want to puke. The worst part is that a lot of these women you see in magazines are pretty well endowed and have pretty nice thighs despite being skinny, so picture if they ate properly. :shock:

Did you ever masturbate?
Didnt that give ou idea that you might be straigh-*test*-('") but rubbing your dick with your own hand makes you erotically involved with yourself, regardless what you are fantasizing.
more like narcissist.
The whole gaything is actually sounding like you have gayphobia, yeah society is surely twisted but its idea/intention that counts according to me.
If you see any girl or men , and it triggers unhealthy or fetish or twisted thoughts in mind, than its problem of mind than anything.
So all then men who does handshakes are abnormal too?

Sometimes I cheat on my right hand with my left, Righty needs to learn to give me my space.
I don't mind that gay manlyish stuff. All in good fun I say.
Kroni- 05-22-2008
I always thought locker rooms were gay because of the men showering together. In America public nudity is a huge taboo that everybody if offended by... except in the shower room (and in the priest's back room) (jk). Yeah, if that's not a sign of repressed homosexuality than I don't know what is. That's why I'm getting a suite in college.
Ooh Batsu, haven't seen him in a minute. I really hope there's some Speed Racer characters in here, possibly Captain Terror or someone like that.
And on the unrelated front: Dalemushashi, that girl in your signature has been dominating my daydreams for the past week. I'm very curious of who this fine-as-fuck dancehall babe is
KIRBY 7- 06-22-2008
Shit, I thought Capcom forgot about Rival School.
Needs more
Daigo
Akira
&
Kyoko

Shit this really is going to be a Capcom cross over.
I was worried that Cap would stick with only the Street Fighter universe.
(Rival Schools used to be part of the SF world.)
I hope Emir Parkreiner or Harman Smith make it into the game.
Could you imagine how crazy the Killer 7's supers would be?
I think of Emir transforming into Dan Smith just to do a collateral shot.
If the Killer 7 were made into a character then I imagine them playing like Shang Tsung.
In the sense that Emir is mediocre by himself, but he has the abilty to transform into the other smiths.
(Harman would only be activated through a "raging demon" style move.)
morrigan and soki added
Morrigan was a given, but Soki?
Now that's surprising.
Dawn of Dreams happens to be the game that I'm currently playing.
I hated most of the onimusha games, but for some reason I actually like Onimusha DOD. (I'm usually not into the more anime style direction either, but in this case I prefer Onimusha more as an anime fanwank game rather than a semi realistic samurai game.)
I hope Capcom continues the Onimusha franchise, because DOD's gameplay is off the hook.
The best part of DOD is when you play the dark realm using the SF2 costumes.
You get to fight with the SF2 themes intact. Like Ryu, Cammy, & Guile's pimping bgm.

I thought it was obvious that I'm a narcissist. I talk about myself all the fucking time, lol.
Lets just say that I'm an old school 80's style guy. I prefer women to look like women.
Yes I do masturbate, but it's usually with the intention that Ima bang that bitch (or a woman who looks similar.) I see it as just biding my time, until I come across a real life equivalent.
Sure in reality you may be hitting your own skin, but does it really matter?
Doing the real thing, & whacking off are two completely different things.
The former establishes a sense of conquest. The latter is just something that you need to do in order to quell the urges.
If I am to fulfill a sexual urge, than I'd rather wank my own shit with a curvaceous woman in mind rather than have some guy or a girl who looks like a guy do it for me.
You just can't get it up if you're not sexually attracted.
Of course I have gay phobia. I lived in asia for almost half my life.
The land of transvestites, & men who look like women.
You know how disheartening it is to come back to America
only to find out that Americans have adopted more Asian/metro sexual style standards into their current fashion sense & shit.
It's like damn, I'm going to have to smuggle myself to some Latin country just to find women who look & are shaped like women.
If the sexes were meant to look the same then we would've been made to be unisex rather than opposite sexes.
One has the key, the other has the hole, heh.
decoy- 07-08-2008
jedilink mentioned about capcom sequels being announced at e3 and deadrising 2 could be one, i have hunch it could be onimusha next, seriously since dmc is already done on nextgen with resi to follow now its time for onimusha.
