SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos, a classic arcade fighting game from the 1990s, has been re-released for modern platforms. The game features characters from both SNK and Capcom franchises and is available on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC (Steam).

The reveal of this hidden gem came during Evo 2024 where fans were treated to a variety of exciting announcements. Among them was the return of Terry Bogard from Fatal Fury in Street Fighter 6 and the introduction of Lucy from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners in Guilty Gear Strive.

SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos was developed by SNK Corporation and originally released as an arcade game. The base roster consists mainly of Street Fighter 2 characters, with some secret characters like Zero from Mega Man Zero, Demitri from Darkstalkers, Violent Ken, Red Arremer (Firebrand), and Mars People.

Players can learn the combos of their favorite fighters to reign supreme against the competition. SNK created new art for the fighters in SVC Chaos, resulting in gorgeous sprite work. The PS4 port of SVC Chaos has no extra content or features, only an online mode with rollback netcode.

Despite some difficulties in creating a crossover fighting game between the two companies, SNK managed to create SNK vs Capcom: SVC Chaos. Goenitz is a formidable opponent due to his projectile spam and chip damage. The new art for the fighters showcases their unique designs and animations.

SNK vs Capcom: SVC Chaos is a must-have for fans of classic fighting games and those who enjoy crossovers between different franchises.
