SNK vs Capcom SVC Chaos - The Other Amazing Cross Over! 

Honestly seeing Capcom characters in SNK's very distinct middle KoF style was even more awesome than the inverse, as much as I adore Capcom Versus SNK 2.

Remember picking this up for Xbox thinking it was going to be like MVC. I was just a kid so I didn’t have any experience with KOF. Little did I know how much of a blast I was going to have playing this.

Demitri looks so sick in this game. He's just monstrous; it's fantastic.

The roster in this game is Godlike and severely underrated. SNK had impeccable taste in picking the roster from Capcom

Surprisingly they just rereleased this game today. Very surprising.

To me, this is such an underrated and unappreciated game. These fighters were the best games on their respected systems. Neo Geo Pocket Color roughy us SNK vs. Capcom and, on the Neo Geo, we got SVC Chaos. Outstanding!!!!

this game has an amazing sprites, especially boxer. the way he used his smash looks fluid

7:13 Chun-Li threatening to arrest Mai for indecent exposure 😁

For fans of SNK Playmore this is a fantastic documentary and I warms my heart that you care enough about the under appreciated SNK games to make all these videos.

The Capcom-SNK crossovers dominated the 2000s

I love this game! I first experienced it in an arcade in Japan. I have it now on the OG Xbox. It is extremely satisfying to beat the overly hard last boss.

I liked SNK vs Capcom more than the other. Maybe I found Capcom characters in SNK style more interesting than vice versa.

Such a shame that SVC Chaos was not released on the Dreamcast.....it could've been perfect on it.

This is one of my most played fighters ever. I love how seriously this game takes itself. Street Fighter has never before or after felt like such a life-or-death, high stakes fighter. It feels totally unique in that respect, and I love it for that.

That Dhalsim sprite in this game is nuts.

I've actually been playing this on my MiSTer with the new 8bitdo Neo Geo controller. It's actually a really fun game. Underrated.

Absolutely , you laid out EXACTLY how i feel about this game , the dark and grim atmoshphere here is unique and amazing (storywise) only minor changes i would make such as replace genjuro with moriya (last blade) , orochi iori with orochi yashiro , dan with cody and balrog with lilith , replace station obsolete and blockade space with better stages and also add few more modes like boss battle , time attack and online battle ,etc and that would make it a MASTERPIECE still praying for cvs chaos 2 someday , keep on praying folks 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

The audacity of these foolish reviews frowning on the beautiful sprite graphics of SvC Chaos. It's almost a miracle how they managed to make all these new characters with super fluid animations, like the effects of Demitri's cape and demonic form, into the classic MVS system hardware. Alternatively both the card games and the fighting on the NeoGeo Pocket Color were also excellent 👌

This is the game that introduced me to KoF Ive been in love ever since

Had this on my XBOX randomly found it at the Gamestop my roommate worked at. It was a really fun game. I was always an SNK fan and wanted to see what SNK would do with a crossover game in the classic format. I love how weird they got with the roster. Violent Ken and Terry were my mains.

Capcom vs. Snk 2 is the best fighter I’ve ever played PERIOD!

I liked this one more than SNK 2

I had original Capcom Vs SNK on playstation 2, ABSOLUTELY ADORED IT!!!, just got the new version on PS5 😮 my life is complete!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

It’s now on steam as of right now

I love this game❤ just hate how quickly the timer counts down at the player select screen😢 I need more time!

Hopefully we'll get a fighter collection with all the Capcom and SNK games.

In SVC CHAOS,They have Dan Ryo's Goh Shaokoken because is a parody of both Robert and Ryo Sakazaki

I really Hate the PS US division for turning down SVC in the states. They're mindset of " 2D out, 3D in'" couldve caused them millions if Castlevania; Sympgony of the night, Megaman 8, Megan X4-6, Silhouette Mirage ( and more) werent considered for publishing! 😂

its janky but fun. fun fact: in the SVC manga, it's shown that mr. karate is the only person that akuma deems an equal to him.

One of few games I own for my AES. Despite there being many better fighters on the Neo Geo still play this a lot for the coolness of the animation of the SF2 characters. The special gauge moves are also really varied. Great video. Top kiffing.

The thumbnail made me watch this..well played tophat

Extremely underrated game

I loved this game! Especially violent ken and his exceed super was the best in the game!

This game needs a remake in the style of KOF13. That sprite work with this game would be Glorious.

I'll always have a soft spot for the pixel art in this game, specifically the new designs. Played it more than CvS.

I can't be the only one that remembers the version of this that was being fan made online that played amazing...

Critics arent givint this game the best advertisement, but for real fighting games enjoyer this is a hidden gem with hilarious interactions

I'm really surprised this hasn't been re-released in all this time. It's overdue.

SVC Chaos is Timeless.

Wow I got this many many years ago on original Xbox and never knew about the secret bosses. Mind blown 🤯

This is such a slept on gem its up there with marvel vs Capcom.

Great vid THG Many SNK games have aged like fine wine. They are indicative of the time and have so much charm and personality... even though their difficulty is beyond ridiculous.

I agree the game looks fantastic. Only saw it for the first time when I got an emulator on a raspberry pi and I was super impressed. Love playing it

underrated but really a hard game expect the final boss

SVC Chaos was surprisingly good. I played it in the arcade, and none of my opponents were remotely familiar with the SNK characters, so I could school them with Ryo, Iori, or Kasumi. Bit of a downside, tho, the AI on charge characters always cheated -- it only needed one frame of each direction to have a successful charge input.

SVC Chaos has the best version of Genjuro in any fighting game.

This game isn’t very much liked by the Capcom & Snk fandom. I personally think this game a good actually and can only be enjoyed by a player who isn’t looking for big details on a crossover such as a big roaster, popular characters, or very over the top characteristics but rather good graphics, design, and sometime different. SNK definitely wanted to do something completely from what Capcom did for the crossovers. This game came out just about the time KOF2003 did with whole different real life aesthetics such as the stages having them look more realistic and real life color tones. It also brought a very unique roaster from both sides such as Shiki, Mars People, Demitri, Evil Ken, Earthquake, Hugo, Princess Athena, Tabasa ect. I think Snk did a really good job with this crossover because it was different in ever aspect yet with the touch of Snk it’s self. I loved that we got to see Capcom characters in Snk style I’m completely here for chaos 2 I would love to see Morrigan, Cammy, Yuri, Jill Valentine, Sakura, Karen, Honda in Snk style.

It’s back

Every old game is a masterpiece now 🙄. Always count on the RU-vidrs to dig out the scraps.

Thank you for featuring my Dream Come True game Capcom VS SNK and it's sequel made the SNK characters look and move like crap SNK perfectly brought Street Fighter 2 characters on to SVC Chaos.

Loved this game, hell I still do. I loved the way SNK styled the Capcom characters, and its just fun as hell to play. I play it from time to time on my MAME emulator. I'd love for all the crossover games to be compacted into a collection! And you know when that finally happens, that'll mean that a new Capcom vs SNK game will be on the horizon!

best part of the game was that they included the brainwashed version of ken from the anime movies and made him way more better than average ken

This game was a dream at the time. Also, Demitri was never better in any Capcom game

Just playing this for the first time and I’m fortunate to have a CRT monitor and on such a display it really is quite beautiful. The art style is really great.

SvC Chaos wins three awards. 1. Worst gameplay system of the crossovers 2. Best lore/dialogue of the crossovers 3. The Mr. Karate Award, for pulling that badass out of retirement for the first time since AoF1. I guess it also has the widest/wackiest cast of characters, it's just sad that so much of Capcom's character diversity were hidden/unselectable in arcades.

A great game, but unpolished... feeling unfinished.

SVC Chaos would be an actual hit if the game were released in 1998.

I remember hearing SNK went bankrupt back in the day. Then I walked into an arcade and saw this game. Blew my mind at the time. SVC Chaos was also my first Xbox game. Crazy its been 20 years.

Great memories playing this and best version of Mr Karate.

This was one of the last new games I got to actually play on Arcades, before those all but gone extinct in the latest 15 years

Thank you top hat gaming, you always deliver excellent and entertaining content, I asked for this knowing that you would definitely be making this video that why I am subscribed to your channels ❤

I remeber buying the MVS Board when it came out . Its a great game, amazing sound and artwork. I sold my board to buy the cart version which I still have.

Capcom and SNK should release a collection of all their crossover games. I'd but a physical copy day one.

PLAYMORE is still SNK. It's just a rebranding during those hard times. It then became SNK PLAYMORE, and now back again to SNK.

Svc chaos might just have my favorite character art

extremely underrated but mannn this game was hard as sh*t

I'm early for a new video from Big Daddy Top Hat himself!

I love this game. The Demitri sprite is the best character design ever. The whole game reminds me of the early days of Fatal Fury. This and Metal Slug 5 were the only brand new NeoGeo MVS kits I ever bought

So glad I grabbed this for the Xbox when it came out.

Great game and pixel art. But damn it was hard

I loved this game, still do.

There was a Manhua for this game, called SNK/CapCom SVC Chaos. It's pretty wild and ridiculous - the fighters are taken to an altrneate earth to battle it out as representatives of good and evil, hence the post-apocalyptic look of the BGs.

Have you played the game called "Fighting Layer" if so im interested in seeing a video about it

With a lot more polish SVCC could have been a way better game, the foundation is there but considering the circumstances at the time, it's a miracle it came out. On a side note, the Neo-Geo Pocket/Pocket Color is a seriously underrated piece of hardware with software to match. Picked one up myself in 2001 on clearance at Toys'R Us with tons of games since they were getting rid of inventory.

Always loved this game and I have always looked at it as the unofficial Capcom vs SNk 3

The only Capcom vs SNK game I've played. SVC: Chaos was a blast with me either using Ryu or Kyo Kusanagi. The music and vibe is fitting since it going for a post apocalyptic world or purgatory.

Its chun li cosplay also the lyric in the song says chun li in it so its more like high praise to a character she aspires and likes.

I like this game better because it's well balanced plus some of the characters have multiple supers

Wait. a... second.... Those backgrounds DO look familiar. From an SNK game. METAL SLUG!! They look like they were taken out of stage levels from 1 & 2

Top Hat Gaming Man, when you're free can you please do a video about the history of Rainbow Mika?

Demon's Crest representation!

I love the SNK crew…they are always up to try new things rather than being ego maniacs

I absolutely love this game. Everything about it. I play it from time to time in fightcade. Absolutely love it

Very underrated

Great review I'm also definitely huge fan of this game I enjoy playing it on my Neo Geo a lot all I can play it on my PS2 from time to time on PC

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CAN THIS GAME GET RE-RELEASED AGAIN, PLEASE?!?!?!??!?!

Though I wish the game graphically matched what Capcom did, I still appreciate SVC! They had a very imaginative an awesome lineup of characters compared to the first two entries, and unlike Capcom, actually gave some. much needed and awesome animation to characters, such as Dimitri! Still sad we never got this game in the west, but I'm glad the import version is still available and relatively cheap!❤

I hope snk bring this to the switch

SvC Chaos has been known to me since at least 2006 because of my exposure to the Sonic Hoax scene, as its assets were heavily used by the community at the time and it helped deliver a glimpse into what could come from future Sonic ROM hack concepts well after the end of the original era of Moogle Cavern; while I didn't get to play this title proper until September of 2022, I know for a fact that any of you who grew up with the Arcade version very likely opted to upgrade your cabinet or ROM to make use of Super Plus, the Upper Version of the game that unlocks all of the characters that you would otherwise not get to mess with on a normal basis, apparently the Xbox version also had everybody unlocked from the get~go this way and Online Mode battles would often have everybody simply playing as Shin Akuma to make use of his hefty arsenal of Hadoukens and amazingly still easy to execute Unblockable Super (Shun Goku Satsu/Raging Demon), making me wonder how much Xbox Live was utilized during the peak of its run. One element that I truly love about SvC Chaos' gameplay is ultimately the Continue system: When you choose to rebound after a loss, you are given the ability to select one of four different options, such as giving you a High Super Meter or reducing your opponent's health to 025%, this helps out with the Single Round Bouts Speedrun and aides in getting a runner back in the action when they have to use a credit; the presence of Demitri in this entry also presented how Internet Rule 063 was being presented in game form before it would become the current standard of the global scene, the fact that he can literally morph anybody into their feminine or more visually arousing counterpart (though Andore/Hugo is literally the same, only with K Sized breasts) before he Shang Tsung's all the muscle out of them was not often heard of in the International market back in 2003 and thus one has to admit that this may have fueled the current demand for this in the art space over time. Now, even though Street Fighter, Vampires/Darkstalkers, Rockman, Ghosts 'n Goblins, Fatal Fury, The King of Fighters, and every other IP have stopped using Pixel Art and Pre~Rendered artwork rendered on a Silicon Graphics Workstation for a good amount of years now, it is without contest that if we ever were to return to an era where this is favoured, wishfully SvC Chaos serves as the basis for making a lot of new venues and characters under its style; had Street Fighter IV not gone with the Tridimensional Comic~style approach that it went for, this would've definitely been the better alternative, I have always wondered what Cody, Guy, Haggar, and Poison would look with it and other notables such as Juri, Hakan, Elena, Seth, and Decapre would all look phenomenal with the ridiculous level of shading that was used for this sprite direction, the level of dedication that it took to do Rotoscoping of Super Turbo' and Alpha IIIs sprite sheets for the lot of the Capcom roster was a welcoming sight and to witness this be expanded upon (even if it has to be done in Mugen) truly would open the door for a heightened resurgence in this art practice for the Fighting space. (:

The problem is that the graphics of this one and the size of the character roster and systems is way inferior than Capcom vs SNK 1 and 2. The game is fun, it's just outdated indeed when compared to the Capcom releases.

Yeah i liked the game. Cvs pro & cvs2 was way better. But it was still a cool game. The finsl hidden boss (the bikini goddess) was a beast. The hardest boss i fought in a long time

This one was tough as nails, but I LOVE this one

I have this for the Xbox and a rom on my Miyoo Mini +. Stunning game, one of the best fighters.

I actually didn't know about the Lawsuit... that's quite the plot twist... It's just too bad Sammy versus Capcom never happened... Maybe one day we'll get ARC versus SNK....

Couldn’t agree more. This game is an unknown masterpiece.

I think this aged better than mvc2. Capcom was lazy and used alpha sprites for far too long

Please do videos on mortal kombat 3 (& UMK3), Tekken 2, DOA2, & Soul Calibur 3. As well as videos on SNK's World Heroes Series, the Godzilla fighting games, the Blazblue series, Primal Rage, Mace The Dark Age, Sonic The Fighters, & Pokken Tournament

i used to have this Arcade Years ago but sold it to a friend. i wish i still had it.

I Love SVC Chaos. I have the Neo Geo AES cart. Play it regularly.

Played this game on my Original Xbox recently and I really liked it. Not as much as SNK vs Capcom 2 Chaos which I thought was a sequel to this game
