"Kick Me"

Ouch.

Anyway, was thinking about getting a 2D Beat-em-up pretty soon. Dunno why I want one I just have an urge for some reason.

So I was looking at Capcom VS SNK 2 EO and was thinking of going for that as I want it for the GC etc. Just wondering though, is there any other 2D Beat-em-up's planned for the future? Because I can wait, unless this is just a one week thing.

Views on Capcom VS SNK 2 EO are also cool. I've read about the GC's small D-pad being a problem but nothing much else.

Hit me with it.

Hrm. Only handhelds I remember are WonderSwan and this other thing I can't remember the name of. Maybe that was made by SNK... Ah, NeoGeo, that was it! Dunno who made it. But you could be right. Either way, I doubt many of us in the UK will be recognising any of the SNK characters...

Nope, they just say SNK alot. Didn't SNK make a handheld?!?

The game got a pretty average score on IGN. Normally I go for the high rated stuff.

The only reason I hate them is because it becomes a one player game for me.

A friend steps up to challenge me and I am too good for him.

Someone else comes to challenge me and I kill them.

Then they think its rubbish because they are pants at it. Thats how my mate think anyway, so sometimes I give him a big advantage.

Thing is though, in Capcom VS SNK EO the 'EO' bit stands for Easily Operated or something. What they've done here is introuduced some new method to pull of special moves where you can just move the C-stick and you'll do some massive combo. Where as before you would have to press buttons in different directions and stuff.

Basically they've done this so that adult gamers and young gamers can enjoy the game alike. The way I see it is that the developers better not of said to themselves "Mingnak ding vic, slick manusiguri man waiga" or "Right, the GameCube is aimed at kids, lets add in an option for them".

Grrrrr

SNK... dunno... probably something that's big in Japan. Comic book characters maybe...? If there's a review on IGN they'll probably say who the SNK people are...

Street Fighter games were really good and i also agree that Ken was the best fighter.

Anyway, who the hell are these SNK people?!?

My cousin was like the Street Fighter master and he used that boxing guy. I thought he was pants he had no reach or anything.

I used Blanka I think, or someone else I can't remember.

I just watched a video of Capcom VS SNK 2 EO and the Japenese music is doing my head in already.

Hmm. I remember the good old Street Fighter days. With Dhalsim, the bloke with stretchy arms and legs. And Honda, the fat Sumo. And that stupid boxing guy you could just beat by shooting fire balls at him.

Ah, good memories. Ken was the best. Obviously. Despite having stupid hair.

I thought it was 'By-ek-tek-u-kan' broken down. So fully: Byektekukan is the move yo.

I read about Link being in Soul Calibur 2, I think its just a rumor and all though. It would fit perfectly though as he has a sword, shield and stuff so why not.

YODAK FLAME!

That's too English.

Yeah. And when you do that spinning round in mid-air kick move thing with Ryu or Ken they say (well, they said when it was on Super Street Fighter 2 anyhoo) "A blasted booger"...

Well, it sounded like that anyhoo... :-)

I haven't heard about any other 2D fighters coming out, so if you want a game with some ridiculously large special moves and combos, that capcom one is probably the best choice. Mortal Kombat looks okay, but I've never really been into that series... Soul Calibur 2 looks pretty interesting. Anyone know if that rumour about Link being in the GC version was true...?
