SNK vs. Capcom: The Match of the Millennium

The game uses a classic 2D side-view fighting format with arcade-style progression and several single-player options. Before each match, players form teams and assign ratio values to shape each fighter’s strength. Battles revolve around light and heavy attacks, special-move inputs, dodges, throws, and tag switches. The compact Neo Geo Pocket control layout is tuned for quick movement and short combo strings, making it easy to jump into but hard to master.

Terry Bogard

A Fatal Fury mainstay and close-range brawler with strong pressure tools.

Kyo Kusanagi

A King of Fighters protagonist who uses fast punches and flame-based attacks.

Ryu

A balanced Street Fighter martial artist focused on fundamentals and specials.

Chun-Li

A fast, versatile fighter known for her powerful kicks and mobility.

Morrigan Aensland

A Darkstalkers character with aerial mobility and magical offense.

Learn one reliable opening combo for each core character before experimenting with advanced tag tactics. Ratio points are usually best concentrated on your most consistent fighter rather than spread too thin. Use tag switches to escape pressure and to reset momentum after a successful knockdown. Against CPU opponents, keep a mobile character available for the final rounds.

Tips and tricks

• Master a basic close-range combo first.
• Tag switches are useful for escaping pressure.
• Put most ratio points on your most reliable character.
