Capcom vs. SNK 2

Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001 is a 2001 crossover fighting game developed and published by Capcom. The sequel to Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000 (2000) and an entry in the SNK vs. Capcom series, it was originally released on NAOMI hardware in arcades, with Sega handling the North American arcade release. As in the original, players select a team of fighters from various Capcom and SNK games then fight other teams, winning each battle by defeating all the opponents from the other team. Aspects of the first game were tweaked, including the Ratio system. In contrast to the fixed system of the original, players can now freely select characters and assign each of them a number from one to four (or "Ratio") determining their relative strength, adding up to a maximum team ratio of four. Teams can now consist of a maximum of three characters, as opposed to four in the first game. Additional characters were added, including more characters from Capcom and SNK titles outside of the Street Fighter and King of Fighters series, for a total of 48. The Groove system from Millennium Fight 2000 has been augmented to include four new systems of play based on various Capcom and SNK fighting games. In addition, the number of buttons has been increased from the Neo Geo standard of four to the six button system first seen in Capcom's Street Fighter. The console versions of the game were first released in Japan for the Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 on September 13, 2001 (a month after the initial arcade release). Players from both platforms could compete against each other online via KDDI's Multi-Matching service, possibly making Capcom vs. SNK 2 the first game ever to support online cross-platform play between two competing game consoles.
