'''Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark Of The Millennium''' is the third installment (fourth, if you count the [[Updated Rerelease]] of CvS1) in the [[SNSNK Kvsvs. Capcom]] series. As the name suggests, it's developed by [[Capcom]]. It was released for [[Arcade Game|arcades]], the [[Sega Dreamcast]], [[Play Station 2]], [[Game Cube]] and [[X Box]].
 
The game extended the roster to (almost) all the fighting line of both companies, along with the full ''CvS Pro'' cast returning:
 
== Capcom side ==
* Returning: [[Street Fighter (Videovideo Gamegame)|Ryu, Ken, Sagat]], [[Street Fighter II (Video Game)|Chun-Li, Guile, Zangief, E. Honda, Blanka, Dhalsim, Balrog, Vega, M. Bison, Cammy, Akuma]], [[Street Fighter Alpha (Video Game)|Sakura, Evil Ryu]], and [[Darkstalkers (Video Game)|Morrigan]].
* Newcomers: [[Street Fighter (Videovideo Gamegame)|Eagle]], [[Street Fighter III (Video Game)|Yun]], [[Rival Schools (Video Game)|Kyosuke]], [[Final Fight (Video Game)|Maki and Rolento]].
== SNK side ==
* Returning: [[The King of Fighters (Video Game)|Benimaru Nikaido, Kyo, Vice, Rugal Bernstein, Iori]], (and his Orochi [[Evil Counterpart]]) [[Fatal Fury (Video Game)|Mai, Terry, Raiden, Kim Kaphwan, Ryuji Yamazaki, Geese Howard]], [[Art of Fighting|Ryo, King, Yuri]] and [[Samurai Shodown (Video Game)|Nakoruru]].
* Newcomers: [[The King of Fighters (Video Game)|Chang & Choi]], [[Psycho Soldier (Video Game)|Athena]], [[Fatal Fury|Rock Howard]], [[Samurai Shodown|Haohmaru]], [[Art of Fighting|Ryuhaku Todoh]] and [[Last Blade|Hibiki Takane]].
 
The two bosses [[Original Generation|were created for this sole game]]: [[The King of Fighters (Video Game)|God/Ultimate Rugal]] and a special version of [[Street Fighter|Shin Akuma]]<ref>The ''shin'' here is 神 "god" rather than 真 "true"</ref>, who were the result of one absorbing the other's power.
 
This time, the Ratio system was modified to allow the player to give ratios to the characters as they wished, and SIX grooves to choose from, plus [[Game Mod|a customized system which can be created by the player himself]]. Again, an [[Updated Rerelease]] of this game was available, called '''Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark Of The Millennium EO''', being EO both ''Extreme Offence'' or ''Easy Operations'', depending on the version.
Line 22:
* [[A God Am I]]: Both Shin Akuma and God Rugal have this in their names. [[SNK Boss|And it's not for show...]]
* [[Ambidextrous Sprite]]: Sagat's eyepatch.
* [[Art Shift]]: Reuse of ''[[Street Fighter Alpha (Video Game)|Street Fighter Alpha]]'' sprites, and the ensuing clash in art style and animation quality, was one of the strongest complaints. Morrigan's constant reuse of '''''her very first sprite''''' is still a vivid running joke in many circles.
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Ryuhaku Todoh, Maki and Eagle, characters who had formerly appeared in the first ''[[Art of Fighting]]'', ''[[Final Fight (Video Game)|Final Fight]] 2'' and the original ''Street Fighter'' respectively, made their unexpected returns as playable characters. Indeed, it has been said that [[The Unexpected|Capcom deliberately chose more obscure newcomers for that game.]]
* [[Assist Character]]:
** Yun is assisted by Yang
Line 31:
* [[Bowdlerise]]: The North American release is notable for its level of censorship not found in prior Capcom fighting games. Moves with "[[Would Be Rude to Say Genocide|Genocide]]" (Tiger Genocide and Genocide Cutter) in them were replaced with "Destroyer". Yamazaki's S&M move name was changed as well. [[Calling Your Attacks|Rugal calling out his Genocide Cutter]] was replaced with a generic grunt. God Rugal was changed to Ultimate Rugal. Due to [[Viewers are Morons]], Shin Akuma was untouched and became a [[Bilingual Bonus]].
* [[Dialogue Tree]]: The games are full of this, with stuff like Geese throwing a Reppuuken at Bison to blow his cape away.
* [[Everything's Better Withwith Spinning]]: Zangief.
* [[Excuse Plot]]
* [[Gainaxing]]: Mai. (obviously)
Line 45:
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Balrog's ending has him donating his reward money to a charity.
* [[Please Put Some Clothes On]]: Maki.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Check [[Capcom vs. Whatever/Shout Out|the page]].
* [[SNK Boss]]: Predictably. Shin Akuma and God Rugal.
* [[Sprite Polygon Mix]]: The game has sprite-based characters and 3D backgrounds.
Line 54:
** And then there's Ryuhaku Todoh, a character whose mostly been [[Demoted to Extra|a background cameo]] as a [[Running Gag]] after his first playable appearance, way back from the first [[Art of Fighting]]. Capcom Vs SNK 2 marks the '''second''' game in which he's playable.
* [[True Final Boss]]: God Rugal and Shin Akuma.
* [[Updated Rerelease]]: ''Capcom vs. SNK 2: EO'', with many tweaks, and two new groove choices. The [[Game Cube]] version dropped online multiplayer though and is the only console version (aside from the Western [[PSPlay Station 2]] releases) without it.
