The controls of this fighting game seem like they’re catered specifically to me. They’re nice and simple: punch and kick on the shoulder buttons, the face buttons for movement options and the c-stick lets you perform your special moves without the need for a combo. The ability to perform special moves with ease was exclusive to the GameCube version of the game, as the GameCube controller isn’t suited for this style of fighting game, especially with the tiny D-pad. You can change to the default controls, but an arcade stick is recommended for that.
Capcom Vs SNK 2 EO features a ton of characters, chosen from the scores of characters that Capcom and SNK have made. For Capcom, this is mainly Street Fighter, while SNK is more varied (although I personally don’t know any of them, other than Terry due to his Smash Bros announcement). As far as I can tell, they’re all characters that translate well to this style of fighting game, which means that the characters all look remarkably consistent with each other. At the same time, there’s no fun oddball characters like Mega Man (which you’d find in the Marvel Vs Capcom games).
While I’m not the right kind of person to judge fighting games, this feels quite solid and is quite enjoyable. At least when using the C-stick to “cheat” special moves.
