SNK vs. Capcom Match of the Millennium

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

The first game in this series is SNK vs. Capcom: The Match of the Millennium, for the Neo Geo Pocket Color.

It has Terry Bogard, Mai Shiranui, Ryo Sakazaki, Kyo Kusanagi, Iori Yagami, Leona, Athena Asamiya, Haohmaru and Nakoruru as playable characters, and Yuri Sakazaki and Akari Ichijou as hidden characters in the SNK Side. Capcom's side would have Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Guile, Zangief, Dan, Sakura, Morrigan and Felicia as playable characters, plus Akuma/Gouki and B.B.Hood as secret characters.

The game allows the players to choose a SNK-gauge bar, a Capcom-level bar or a neutral bar which just enhanced their special attacks. The battles the character will have to fight include, near the end, a tag-team of Geese Howard and M. Bison and, depending on the Capcom/SNK side, a final battle against Evil Ryu or Orochi Iori.

It also includes some Mini Games in the form of the Olympic Mode, which included many SNK and Capcom characters such as the Red Arremer and Arthur and Marco, Fio and Mars People and allowed the unlocking of special moves for the main fighting characters.


Tropes used in SNK vs. Capcom Match of the Millennium include:
  • Dumb Is Good: Felicia never realized that her first "friend" (Akari Ichijo) actually wanted to capture and keep her as a pet, but only changed her mind after realizing Felicia's feeding expenses would cost a fortune.
