Capcom Vs. SNK Pro is another great Capcom game, with all of your favorite classic Street Fighter II characters, a few favorites from the Street Fighter Alpha series, and the more popular SNK characters from the great King of Fighters series. This game is a great conversion of a Naomi hardware-based arcade game, and the addition of Dan Hibiki and Joe Higashi round out the great cast that appeared in Capcom Vs. SNK. The gameplay in this game is as good as another PlayStation classic, Street Fighter Alpha 3. The new Pair Mode is an alternative to the ratio system that allows you to pit any two fighters against any two fighters, because some people don't care for the ratio system that assigns relative power to fighters, limiting what fighters are on your team. If you're a fan of Capcom fighters and/or the Street Fighter universe and/or the SNK fighting universe, don't hesitate to pick this game up while it's still available.

This game could have easily been perfect in my eyes. Don't get me wrong. It blew me away the first time I played it. It still does. But, there are a few things that annoy me:

- I'd like to see some player bios. Granted, I know every Capcom character's life story through the many other Street Fighter games I've played, but what about the SNK side? Why the obvious tension between Iori and Kyo? Raiden seems out of place...what's his deal? I didn't appreciate having to extract what little background info I could from my King of Fighters '95 Game Boy game.
- The intro movie could have been a lot better, as well as the endings. I couldn't help but cringe at the zooming effect on Geese.
- What's up with Morrigan? Every other character looks great except for her. She looks more flat and grainy than the rest, like she was thrown into the game with a lot less effort.
- Being a huge, huge Akuma fan, I almost threw this game away when I discovered that the Shun Goku Satsu was not in the moves list in the accompanying manual. If there's a world without that move, I don't want to live in it. It turns out that he DOES have it, but the only as a MAX "desperation move" (the player's life bar is flashing and the meter is charged to the maximum). The same goes for Morrigan's "Darkness Illusion," but, again, the manual lacks that information.
- Some of the moves are extremely hard to do. It could be argued that I'm just not skilled enough or that my hands aren't what they used to be, but it sure is frustrating sometimes not being able to pull off even one of Geese's super moves.

That sounds like a lot of complaints, but the game does have many strong points. Character strength is based on a ratio system, with 1 being the weakest characters and 4 being the strongest. In Arcade Mode, players get 4 ratio points to spend choosing characters. For example, Yamazaki is a ratio 3 character, so a player could only choose one more character, which would be from the 1 ratio group. Most characters also have an EX version, which can be bought with versus points in Price Mode. Some moves are unavailable in EX mode and some may change. Anyone who has played Street Fighter Alpha 3 with X-ism should find this familiar. EX changes are for the most part not in the instruction manual.

The SNK drawings of characters are fantastic. Color Edit mode allows one to create custom color features for characters, which I find helpful for when I feel like Dan needs to be in a more conservatively colored gi. There are a lot more pre-fight taunts and demonstrations of power than in Street Fighter Alpha 3. Some of the dialogue really makes me want to work harder on my Japanese study, because what they do while they're talking makes what's to come a little more intense. (I'll have to see. Sometimes fighting game talk gets pretty stale.)

All in all, a wonderful effort. Capcom vs. SNK Pro reinforces my belief that the Street Fighter and King of Fighters systems are superior to the competition.

Capcom Vs Snk The First one is the best i got it when i was 13 yrs old Ibeen lookin for the Game For 8 yrs People Told Me It Was Very Rae To Find Good Thing I Got It From Amazon.

I have read many reviews about other games and no one has said anithin about this game 'ITS THE BEST GAME EVER' this is a ps1 game and no ps3 and xbox360 figthing game conpares to capcom vs snk pro just try it you wont regret it bui it and enjoy it

THIS IS THE BEST GAME!!!! IT HAS MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS AND COOL SIGNATURE MOVES!!!!!!! EVERYONE SHOULD GET IT!!!!!!

each time capcom have released their next 2d fighting game in the street fighter genre. its always been better than the last. This is the best game in their playstation series. If you are a fan of both SNK and capcom you are going to love this having your favorite character lose to another character in the oposing universe is something you just dont want to see happen. The graphics are great. Classic tunes from both companies are in it. The game play is a little tighter and hits harder than street figher alpha 3. Akuma is waiting for you if your good enough. I would have made the endings better. They should have given individual endings for each character. There are 3 available endings all up.

The only reason why i gave this game 4 stars is because:

1. a lot of load times ( 5 secs. each time), but there is an option to quickly load it up (you'll know when u get the game)
2. unlike the original capcom vs snk on the dreamcast, they dont have the mini introduction anymore..
3. special effects in the game are not as awesome as the mighty ps2 and the dreamcast

OTHER THAN THESE FLAWS...
this game is an absolute must for all the hardcore 2D Capcom Fighting Game fans! this is the game that started it all!

DYZOEMAN IS WRONG I'VE PLAYED THIS GAME BEFORE AND IT'S FUN IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. CAPCOM VS SNK PRO IS JUST LIKE X-MEN VS STREET FIGHTER AND MARVEL VS CAPCOM I'VE PLAYED ALL THREE AND THE'RE REALLY FUN IF YOU'RE INTO FIGHTING GAMES.

I bought this game solely because it had Street Fighter characters in it. Little did I know that there are only four buttons at your disposal. The "L" buttons are totally useless, as they are merely combinations of the aforementioned four buttons.

I gave this 3 stars only because the characters are interesting and their moves are exciting to watch. However, the A.I. is, of course, a cheeser. Expect to be helplessly and inexplicably put into a grab move, despite the fact that you are too far away to be reached. Also, if you pick Akuma, you are forced to fight alone in Arcade mode. Meaning, if the computer has 4 players, you must fight all four alone in what turns out to be a survival mode.

If you want a real street fighting game with Street Fighter characters, stick with the Street Fighter Alpha series.
