Capcom vs. SNK 2: Millionaire Fighting 2001 is a video game produced and published by Capcom Entertainment. It was developed for the PlayStation 2 console from Sony, the Xbox from Microsoft, the Dreamcast from SEGA and the Game Cube from Nintendo. The title is classed as a fighting game played from a third person perspective.

It brings together characters from Capcom and old SNK games. The main gameplay mechanic, other than the normal ones for fighting titles, is the possibility to select a "groove" right before each of the battles. There are three grooves that are pre-defined by the game for each of the sides and, after you complete it, you get to define your own. Each of them will affect the way the characters perform in the actual battle sequence.

The game is pretty typical of Capcom fighting releases. There are six attack buttons and even the SNK characters, that usually use only four attack buttons, have been modified in order to use this control scheme. The characters you get to play with are pretty much all taken from previous releases. Fighters like Garou, Mark of the Wolves and Last Blade make an appearance and even Todoh, who is the boss in the first Art of Fighting game is included.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Goro Damien cameo

Have a match featuring Kyo vs. Bermiriu (fighter who puts his hair straight up) at the Shanghai stage to see a special cameo by Goro Damien. He will be sitting in the background of the rotating platform watching the fight, making gestures every time someone gets hit.

Street Fighter 3 reference

In any mode, go to the stage in England. At the far right edge of the screen, you can see Dudley in the background reading a newspaper. Dudley was a British boxer from the Street Fighter 3 games.
