"Cammy's a winner."
The "Pro" version of CvS adds light-hearted characters Joe Higashi (SNK) and Dan Hibiki (Capcom), tweeks a lot of little details about the fighting system and balance, and has everything unlocked from the start. |
|
|
| | |
Characters start with eight color sets, and I *think* you can add two more (at a time--but you can save multiples out to separate files if you want?) via the Color Edit Mode.
Which palette a character appears in depends on which of the four Dreamcast face buttons (not what you may have remapped them to in the game's Option Mode - Button Config. ; P) or combination thereof you press when selecting them from the character select screen:
- pressing a single face button gets you one of four colors
- four more colors from simple adjacent button pairs: X+Y (default punches), A+B (default kicks), X+A (default lights), Y+B (default heavies)
- two more(?) cross-button-pairs for any saved color edits ("Color1" and/or "Color2" will appear around character to indicate saved edit color presence?): X+B, A+Y |
|
|
| | | | The PS1 version (see entry 1353) seems to be significantly easier than this Dreamcast version: in the PS1 version, I could get to the boss regularly on the highest difficulty setting (8 of 8); on the DC so far, on difficulty 4 of 8 (2 was the default), I get to the boss just once in a while. |
|
|
| | |
You get the eight default colors by: one for each of the four Dreamcast face buttons (X,Y,A,B), then one for each combination of adjacent buttons (XY, YB, AB, XA).
The AI couldn't seem to block Morrigan's fireballs for some reason! Didn't block many of her standing kicks, either. I didn't even have to bring Raiden in until the second stage of the boss, sheesh! |
|
|
| | | Reminder to myself, on my HRAP V PS4 stick, connected to the DC with a Brook Super Converter, my buttons are (Oh I think I had AB and XY swapped in my understanding during the video, it didn't really matter though):
DC AB = XO
DC XY = [ ]/\ |
|
|
| | | | A viewer finally pointed out to me that the boss you face is based on your team's first character: SNK character faces Capcom boss (Boxer & Dictator), and vice versa (Geese). |

I'm terrible with supers and I really like Shinkiro's (SNK artist at the time--went to Capcom later, after SNK went bankrupt; in CvS, in Capcom groove you get the Capcom artist's version of your team's character portraits, and Shinkiro's versions in SNK Groove), so I thought I'd just try going with SNK Groove. So far so good! : D Also, I hadn't realized it before, but a) in SNK Groove it seems you can do a super with maybe half a meter or so, and b) the SNK Groove meter does seem to charge itself *a little* as you take damage or something in a match--much slower than manual charging, though (but I've always refused to do SNK's manual charging, so nyah =p). |
|
|
| | |
The AI simply cannot see Morrigan's fireballs; it stands there and lets them hit it, or even walks right into them. Doesn't seem to have a problem seeing other fireballs (and interesting that blocking is apparently a last resort--it prefers to snuff them out or dodge them). |

Notes:
10'33 - Ryo & Ken wore the same dress to the dance :P
14'15 - Yuri vs Ryo "Big Brother" special intro
Blanka is too strong. : o (Also my supposedly random team generating script has been choosing him an awful lot lately. : P) He pretty much saved my buns nearly single-handed a couple times there. Nobody even so much as blocked his "Blanka Ball" charge attack--although Dictator jumped over it a few times---but other than that he just got smacked in the face by it over and over until he died.
Afterwards, I was thinking maybe the AI had a blind spot to that attack, like they do to Morrigan's fireball, and thought I should try testing it...but then, I remembered Blanka is just way too strong anyhow (and for real, someone at Capcom--looking at you, Yoshinori Ono :P--must have loved him, because he was obviously too strong--and while a supposed ratio 1 (lowest) character, at that!--even in this revised version of the game, and then too strong AGAIN in CvS2!!), so I'm not going to play the green beast anymore in these games.
EX Yuri's fireball definitely took Boxer down pretty easily, but that's his historical weakness so not surprising I suppose; if I'd been smart I'd have put her on point for that battle. |
|
|
| | | EX Vice rules, but I didn't figure that out until after the play-through. : P I like her way more than regular Vice! EX Vice can pop people in the air with her long-range qcb+P shoulder rush, then snatch them out of the air and smash them into the ground with her uppercut+K, whereas regular Vice has to do her grab and toss command grab (uh maybe the hcb,f+P one?), then an uppercut+K (I think) leaping grab, which I still have nightmares about trying to get the timing of in '98. : P So I'm just gonna stick to EX Vice! : D
I realized that in Pair Match mode you can take a character PLUS their EX version. But wait, can you just plain take two of the exact same character, like you can in MvC2 (where you can take three!)? How about in the 2-on-2 mode in CvS2? Man I gotta try this stuff now.
These characters don't have EX (hold Start button to toggle) versions: Ryu, Evil Ryu, Iori, Orochi Iori, Akuma, Joe, Dan, Morrigan, Nakoruru. |
|
|
| | | EX Yuri has great kicks and jump kicks!
I've updated my CvS Pro team builder script ( https://smbhax.com/cgi-bin/teams/pro.pl ) to swap the first Capcom character, if any, to the head of the team, so I'll be able to fight the SNK boss, Geese, more often, instead of the annoying Capcom bosses, Boxer and Dictator. : P |
|
|
| | | Normally you face the boss of the opposite company of your lead-off character, but I noticed in this episode a ways back that my team with Capcom character EX Cammy as the first character faced the Capcom boss, Dictator:
I tried to reproduce that and couldn't: it kept giving me the SNK boss, Geese, as would otherwise have been expected. So maybe there's just a small chance you'll fight the other boss once in a while, to keep you on your toes. ; ) |
|
|
| | | Playing through Arcade Mode with the team of Nakoruru and EX Ryo, Nakoruru seemed to be cutting through the 4/8 level AI awfully easily...
While playing through I noticed that Nakoruru's b,db,d+P attack ("Annu Mutsube"/"Blade of Victory," the internet tells me) where she slides low across the ground with her knife thrust forward was not being blocked by the AI--it just hit them every time, unless they moved out of the way or managed to hit me first.
This makes her a pretty broken character against the AI, even on the highest difficulty, because you can just hit them with that move repeatedly, especially on their wake-up.
I ran into a problem similar to this before with Morrigan's fireball, which the AI simply can't see, and will just walk right into. I didn't notice the AI just walking into Nakoruru's move, but that could just be because it moves so quickly.
Curiously, Morrigan and Nakoruru are the two ratio two characters with no alternate or EX versions. Coincidence? I thought perhaps it could have been because they were added late or something, so there wasn't enough time to give them EX versions or test them much, but it seems unlikely that would have gone unaddressed in Pro. Or maybe not, I dunno. The only other reason I can think of is that maybe Capcom just couldn't come up with an earlier or alternate version of them with a sufficiently compelling move set to make into an EX version. |
|
|
| | | - My PS4 face buttons do pretty much correspond to DC face buttons for color selection combinations
- Ryo has cool colors
- Regular and EX character versions share the same colors |
|
|
| | | | The teams you face in the game are pre-determined, from at least five different, randomly selected routes of enemies in Arcade Mode; the teams are also pre-determined in Pair Match Mode--out of about eight starts there I faced the team of Claw & Vice in the first round about four times. |
|
|
| | |
So EX SNK characters in the lead spot CAN fight Geese! Okay, well, now I don't have to end up fighting the Capcom bosses quite so much. : )
EX Ken is really fun! : D Some really good animations, too. That tatsu rotation speed is ridiculous--and that was before turbo 4! = o |
|
|
| | | I realized it's the Capcom or SNK character ratio of your team that determines the (opposite) boss you face! AHA!
I'd been told which boss you face was determined by the company affiliation of the first character on the team: you would face the opposite team's boss. But that clearly hasn't been been the case, especially in my recent playthroughs. I tried modifying the theory by positing that maybe EX team leaders faced the SAME company's boss, but that wasn't panning out, either.
So I chucked that theory. In search of a new one, I looked through all but my earliest CvSP videos--I didn't write clear notes on team composition in the first ones--and found an infallible pattern to which boss appears!
Which boss I've faced has corresponded to the ratio composition of my teams:
- All-Capcom teams have always faced the SNK boss (Geese)
- All-SNK teams have always faced the Capcom bosses (Boxer & Dictator)
- Mixed Capcom-SNK teams have faced either boss
- Which boss a mixed team faces appears to be weighed toward the opposite of their company ratio: my 3:1 company ratio teams have in all but one case faced the boss who is the opposite company of the 3 ratio points in the team
That formula has fit all of my playthroughs that I checked!
~~~~~~~~
The single 3:1 company team who did NOT face the company opposite the 3 ratio points on the team was the team of EX Cammy, EX Yuri, and EX Terry: in episode 467, that 3 SNK ratio points and 1 Capcom ratio point team faced the Capcom bosses, which under this theory had only a 25% chance of occurring; when I tried them again, in episode 568, they faced Geese, the theoretical 75% chance.
Actually, if it was a 75% chance for ratio 3:1 teams, I would have had a few more facing the opposite ratio of the 1 company side... But I'd need to run these teams like hundreds of times each or something to have a decent statistical examination of these chances...so that'll be a while.
So for now that's my new theory, and I don't have to bother trying to shuffle the character order around as I was doing under the old, incorrect theory that the boss was based only on the affiliation of the first character on the team. So I won't overall be pushing a Capcom character to the front whenever possible anymore, it'll just be random order, and we'll get to see a better balance of SNK/Capcom character play.
Although it'll be weighed slightly toward SNK character play, and I AM still kind of stuck getting Dictator a little more often than Geese, apparently, due to who I'm playing, or, you could say, NOT playing: I've dropped Claw (3 Capcom ratios), Dictator (3C), Dhalsim (1C), Blanka (1C), Morrigan (2C), and Nakoruru (2S)--so my overall company points are down 8 more on the Capcom side, meaning the balance of the remaining characters probably--if the overall starting ratio of the game's characters isn't too far off (I know there's one more ratio 4 C character than ratio 4 S characters, at least, so that's 4 points back toward the Capcom side)--has more SNK points, which means my teams will tend slightly toward facing Boxer and Dictator. Oh well!
(I could weight my team building script's random character selection to favor picking Capcom characters slightly, to try to compensate, but I'd rather just stick with straight random rolls as far as character is concerned: my interest is more in wide variety in individuals I'm playing than in their affiliation or who they face in the end...I think. = o)
((Although if that's really the case, shouldn't I raise the difficulty, and start over rather than continuing, with episode-death vs the boss--like I do in KOF 2000? Ummm.... I'm not sure. I mean, probably...but I'm still scared to try it! Also, it's more convenient on the MVS, where I can turn off Continues rather than having to wait/skip through the countdowns. And I like beating Geese! And the end credits music is the best!! ... I'll probably have to raise the difficulty from 4 to like at least 6 eventually though.)) |
|
|
| | | So, like Morrigan and Nakoruru's ranged attacks, Terry's Burn Knuckle--both light and heavy--does not get blocked by the CvSPro AI--except maybe Raiden? = o (35:31)
43:03 Terry to Geese: "Geeeeeese!"

GameFAQs did NOT have info about the Goro cameo (I'm submitting it), did find a wiki mention of it though: https://snk.fandom.com/wiki/Goro_Daimon#Games . It works in Practice and Versus modes when you have Benimaru vs Kyo (but NOT Kyo vs Benimaru).
(On a mostly unrelated note, in testing the cameo afterwards I also found that you can team a character with their own EX version in Pair Match mode. ; )
As is typical of this game, Benimaru's special move inputs are rearranged from what I'm used to in KOF 2000 (entry 1358): that ground-spin kick is on K instead of P, and he doesn't have the lighting flip kick uppercut that's so effective in 2000. His EX version does have an interesting lighting command grab, though, both as a special and a super.
Took me a try to remember it was Rugal doing roll, THEN HK to open up Dictator. His dash throw (qcb+P?), sweep if blocked was what finally worked well on Boxer.
Sagat was a problem--I had trouble with Rugal in general against speedy opponents--Yuri and Joe for instance--and Sagat's reaction speed is ridiculous! |
|
|
| | |
Big bro Yama and lil' bro Beni. Can't do Yam's devious specials so I just stuck to normals and heck they're great; almost made miraculous comeback against Dictator with standing HK alone. LK surprisingly good in air. What a team though. |
|
|
| | |
Man, Geese air-to-airs my Honda a few times and I proceed to let him walk all over me for a half hour while I try playing cutesy with him. UGHHHHHHHHHHHH. |
|
|
| | |
Densetsu, what Dan always says, means "legend." : P
Cammy's just too fast. ; ) And man did I have trouble against that match 2 King, Cammy, Sakura, Yuri team! Yeesh! 4:27 And I liked Benimaru's nuclear belt-buckle and green hair I had there... Thought I'd selected him with X+[] but I couldn't seem to get it back so I guess it must'a been maybe just X (or is X just default color? now I can't remember) or [], I dunno.
Don't play a four-person team often and it's a little discombobulating trying to handle so many characters who die so fast. = o At least I figured out Dan and Cammy can flying kick Boxer pretty much at-will (27:20). |
|
|
| | |
The AI's don't seem to block EX Mai's in-air qcb+P dive kick, unless you try hitting them with it as soon as they're trying to stand up, maybe. Although Dictator seemed to block it once another time, not sure what that was. But mostly you could spam it at them--except Dictator, unless you caught him repeatedly just after he stood up, because otherwise he'd be looping around backwards in the air or something and just avoided it. ; P
So of course in the end I just rolled and threw him : PPPPP |
|
|
| | |
Rugal is tough. The AI is pretty dumb about that reflector of his: Dan, Ryu, and Sagat pretty much just KOed themselves on it! And they don't usually try to counter his running grab-to-wall-slam, they just jump out of the way, which means he can keep trying it--even against Dictator! |
|
|
| | | I got something backwards a while back:
"The single 3:1 company team who did NOT face the company opposite the 3 ratio points on the team was the team of EX Cammy, EX Yuri, and EX Terry: in episode 467, that 3 SNK ratio points and 1 Capcom ratio point team faced the Capcom bosses, which under this theory had only a 25% chance of occurring; when I tried them again, in episode 568, they faced Geese, the theoretical 75% chance."
What that should have said was that, as a 75% SNK ratio team, they had only a 25% chance of facing the SNK boss. |

Playing the team of Ryu, Cammy White, and EX King through Arcade Mode of Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000 Pro for Japanese Dreamcast, SNK Groove, on 8/8 difficulty--in Flycast internal 8K widescreen!
Man the 2D backgrounds look amazing in this widescreen internal 8K Flycast thing. = ooo Realized they seem to be big rectangular polygons with the background image mapped across them...or something like that. No parallax. Really interesting design choices going on here! And it looks absolutely spectacular in this higher resolution, my gosh. I have filtering set to "Force Nearest Neighbor" so no more blurry win portraits. Big chunky pixels! = D
Two visual glitches stood out: the shattered polygon cover of the "KO" effect, and the missing team portraits in the TV news segment at the end. That one is in their open issues list https://github.com/libretro/flycast/issues/890 ; the creator says "This is another depth issue. Applying some extra depth scaling fixes it but causes major issues in other parts of the game so I'm afraid there's no easy solution for now."
I seem to be dropping frames here and there, too--more so in this game than the others. I tried messing with various settings (60fps instead of 59.94, enabling frame skip, turning off widescreen, setting internal res to 480p), didn't solve it.
So, a bit of emulation jank. For the super-sharp display, absolutely minimal input delay and overall convenience, though, I'll take it!
Got a little overconfident vs that darned Geese. ; )
This is like the most gorgeous fighting game ever = ooo |

Oh I forgot, I did leave this on 8/8 difficulty I guess.
Took me forever to work out how not to bite it as Chun vs Geese. He got me with THREE Raging Storms in a single match at one point! ; D ;_; Sheesh. Anyway it came down to a lot of just HK, I think.
Don't think I've wrecked the dojo since...maybe back in the day. = o Crash! ^ D^ Well, it was Yuri trashing ME that did it. ; D ;_; ^ _^ |

"Kicking Sagat into the side of the screen was fun"
Orochi Iori's super-fast move speed combined with his slow recovery times, hunched stance and sprawling gait makes him super-floppy and weirdly hard to control! Had a hard time with him, especially against lots of low-ratio, fast characters with tight movements. On the other hand, he can churn right through the Capcom bosses as long as you don't stop paying attention and keep letting Dictator take a step in and punch you right in the face repeatedly like I was doing for a while. : P |

Man I guess I'm probably even a worse Evil Ryu than a regular Ryu. : P
In theory (nearest I could find a suggestion, in the PS FAQ on GameFAQs) his dive kick (and punch??) is just df + button, I was having a lot of trouble doing that consistently though, it would pretty much just happen now and then accidentally.
At least you get to fight Geese as Evil Ryu. He seems particularly set in air to avoid moving into uppercut range. ; ) Took me a little too long to go hard enough on the ol' roll n' throw. Good ol' roll n' throw.
Oh Charlie Sheen, that's the actor I was thinking sorta looked like Evil Ryu's win screen portrait by Shinkiro. ; ) |

Mai's qcb+P air dive still feels kinda cheap, ie the AI is often very bad about getting hit by it. Then again Ryu just straight air-kicked me out of it!
Aside from Mai's dive, don't feel like I fought particularly well. Mai has some good kick chains. She's noticeably slow to handle (at least in my slow hands ; D) against Yuri, yikes!
I got one or maybe a couple EX Cammy Cannon Spikes in against someone at least, that's something for me. ; ) And a few EX Vice dunks early on...then I kind of mentally tuned out of those and didn't connect on any more. : P Tried concentrating on her direct long-range snatch-n-fling which is super-effective but also slow and eventually I was just getting bodied out of it. ; D
Throughout this run there were AIs kind of going HAM, in fact--it was cool to see, really! I mean gosh.
Cammy could cLK faster than Ryu and Geese could handle, though. ^ _^ And CPU Ryu seemed to have no idea she should just Spiral Arrow under his fireballs. ; ) |

EX Sakura, EX King, and EX Ryo
Did real bad. Didn't make up my mind to go all in and just kinda got housed repeatedly while flailing at moves I didn't quite grasp.
I got flustered and stopped being able to do uppercut moves. Or rolls. : PPP
EX King's qcb+K is a kick combo regular King doesn't have. Kind of neat. But she can't do a double fireball (which regular King does with the odd input qcbx2-K). But she has a kick uppercut! Which I wish I'd realized--I did it to Kyo accidentally right off the bat but sure could have used it later.
EX Sakura has an air tatsu instead of a dive kick, and a long-range fireball.
EX Ryo has a hcb-P combo that looks kind of cool at least, but a short-range fireball--which is maybe slightly longer range than it looks. His uppercut is still really short range, but again not quite as short range as it looks. I was almost completely unable to do his hold-db-f-K flying kick, but I usually am; here I think I was sloppily pressing uf instead of f or something.
Anyway, did real bad. For a while when playing on actual DC I was thinking I was too good at the game. ; D Maybe I was abusing throw more? Or I've gotten worse, which seems quite possible. Or it's harder on Flycast somehow, but that seems unlikely, especially when it basically improves input delay. : PP Or I'm making excuses for playing lazily!! |
|
|
| | |
I'm real bad with Kyo. But at least in 2000 I can apply wakeup pressure with his qcf+HP; couldn't seem to do that in CvSP. Also had a heck of a time landing his jHK! Maybe I should'a tried jHP. In CvS2 he feels like he's a bit more capable offensively; those Medium attack buttons help.
I guess I'm gonna try playing Pro on a faster speed--Turbo 3 instead of the default (through Free pick) Turbo 2! = o (Turbo 4 is ridiculous.)
Playing CvS2 right after 1, 2 felt tremendously slow. On speed 5/5 (default? 3/5), it's maybe a bit too fast for me. The Run in that game does start to feel less slow than it is normally as you increase the game speed, at least. |

"Blond Iori (2K), Blond Jeans Terry (HP+HK)"
EX Terry and EX Ken
Okay so I managed to be totally wrong about this; it wasn't Terry's fireball that I thought last April the AI wasn't blocking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-l0lM2KrWkQ , it was his Burn Knuckle. I did get worried about it early on here, but then in the second match, King blocked it several times, as well as jumping out of the way. She ended up being the only one in the play-through who really blocked it, though! Cammy in that match blocked it once on wake-up, but as I concluded last April, that's more like an automatic AI reflex. But Cammy's problem seemed to be that she was just whiffing moves from across the screen at me, leaving herself unable to block. Yuri jumped out of its way about half the time.
His Burn Knuckle isn't as bad as Morrigan's fireball for instance, 'cause the AI's can at least SEE it, and will generally try counter or avoid it if they can--Dictator jumped every time, for instance.
It's certainly a bit strong; the AI has a strange aversion to blocking it, and seems to prefer to jump over it. I've noticed in the past that they do that with a lot of fireballs, too, though (or they may go into turtle mode and let you chip them out w/ fb: see Iori, Guile). Hm. Raiden traded against Burn Knuckle an awful lot--or just flat beat it with his belly flop. And Terry can't just spam it against fireball users like Raiden's partner here, Dhalsim, or Chun and Guile in the next match.
In the second-to-last match, Kyo got slammed by it--but Kyo in this game seems to have not much going on. His partner Iori uppercut it once and counter-fireball traded with it once; but Iori tends to be particularly brain-dead in this game, unfortunately, and he didn't deviate much from that here, stopping and charging three times for easy Knucklings.
Versus the Capcom bosses, Boxer gets absolutely flattened by the Knuckle--MAYBE hopped over it a couple times, and traded with it once. But Dictator jumps over it easily every time; then again, he's a real sucker for Terry's Crack Shoot flip kick! Still, he did take my silly Terry out twice.
Well, I had fun; I guess I'll keep Terry in for now--if it becomes a string of boring 1ccs, I'll have to take him back out, maybe. I can put regular Terry back in, too, since it wasn't his fireball that was the problem.
Terry's HP+HK color is that cool blond jeans look--Iori has a similar one on 2K (when I picked him accidentally here vs Dhalsim/Raiden ; ).
EX Ken has weird special high kicks: quarter-circle-down(!!) plus kick is a knock-down one, qcf and hcf are two non-knock-down versions; qcf seems to reach in a little less than hcf and qcd. If you hold Kick after inputting them, you get a double hit. Forward+LK does what looks like the second kick, just on its own. Seems like a lot of work for weird kicks, but I guess if you're really into Ken you might find a use for them? EX characters are usually move sets from older games--but Ken's move set at this point in games was still his ST move set, pretty much, so...did these come from some other game, or did they just make them up for CvS?
Went back to regular Turbo 2, felt a lot less thrashy and didn't annoy my shoulder either so that was probably the right move, at least for now. Trying to get better at this playing while sitting on the floor thing. ^ _^
Oh yeah and I hadn't had a Taunt button set up. : P |

"Pink Benimaru poses"
Dan, Joe, EX Vice, Benimaru
3:41 - EX Vice / Rugal special intro
Gotta remember to work on EX Vice's horizontal grabby thing (qcf+P?). And I stupidly thought Joe's flying kick was qcb+K and that he didn't have it in this game--but it's hcf+K and yes it's there. : P |

"Yamazaki and Vice"
There's a cat sitting on the left side of the Shinsekai stage! = oo
(Oh, Shinsekai is in Osaka, not Tokyo! https://youtu.be/4YtmwrtA8nI?t=139 AND BOTH Capcom AND SNK have their headquarters there!) |
