Capcom vs. SNK 2 EO

200373/100
Fighting
CvS2's genius resides in its Ratio system, a pre-fight character selection mechanic that allows for team compositions of up to four fighters. The series' unique Groove system, with its selectable playstyles, offers a level of customization rarely found in the genre. This, combined with a vast roster of iconic characters from Capcom and SNK, ensures near-endless replayability and a healthy dose of nostalgia for anyone who grew up playing arcade fighters.

About Capcom vs. SNK 2 EO

Details
Capcom vs. SNK 2 EO is the same game but with minor changes in gameplay and the inclusion of an EO ("Easy Operation") system that allows the player to perform specific attacks by simply moving the right analog stick in a certain direction. Like all other home versions of the game, CvS2: EO also contains four bonus characters: Evil Ryu, Orochi Iori, Shin Akuma (Shin Gouki in Japan), and Ultimate Rugal (God Rugal in Japan), powered-up versions of four regular characters. Before selecting a team, the game offers a selection of "Grooves", which change the way the game is played, as well as "AC-ism" or "GC-ism" Grooves; GC-ism simplifies the control scheme, originally designed for the GameCube gamepad. In the Xbox version it is called EO-ism. Capcom vs. SNK 2 EO also removed the Roll Cancel glitch that was in the original versions. In addition, the Xbox version of CvS2: EO also included online play for up to two players on Xbox Live as well as progressive-scan (480p) support, which was noticeably absent in the PlayStation 2 version.
