Never Live It Down: Unfortunately, the Capcom/SNK rivalry of the 1990's (see Follow the Leader on the Trivia page) often slips into downright denial that SNK ever actually came up with anything original on their own. This is made even worse by the fact that while SNK and Capcom did crib off of each other time and time again (and face it: particularly everyone did this), several fighting game mechanics purportedly introduced by Capcom could be instead attributed to SNK.
↑For being an Obvious Beta that lacks bosses but includes Deranged Animation (for starters, TONS of fat human pigs in the Paris background), the audience's reaction varies between Franchise Killer and Ruined FOREVER. Thankfully, XIII, despite its lack of new characters sans Saiki, vets that missed out on XII, and (unexpectedly) Hwa Jai from the originalFatal Fury, restored the reputation of the series.
↑This one was forced to be a cash cow mainly due to the fact that the newly-revived SNK had to finish the contract with Capcom at all costs. No one would've even guessed that the game would (arguably) look far worse and be far more unbalanced than Eolith's KOF installments, 2001 and 2002, however...
