That would actually be kind of neat. An official Capcom game where you can pick the actual SFII, SFIII, Alpha, and CVS versions of Street Fighter characters(instead of just gameplay style variations its the actual sprites with the gameplay) in addition to a huge mass of characters from the classic Capcom library would be novel for the insanity at the very least.

@@Athenya Most of those were sadly not well known in the US. Anything SNK related was basically a “literal who?” for most people here. Arcades were dying out, 3D fighters on consoles was the thing everyone was getting into and the FGC was incredibly niche at the time. I also think the US FGC had a bit of a Capcom bias, so almost anything that wasn’t Capcom was ignored, even if it was popular like Tekken, Soul Calibur, Dead or Alive or even Mortal Kombat. Coincidentally, 3 of those were 3D fighters and MK had moved unto 3D as well. “Anime” fighters were also HATED at the time, so something like Melty Blood, Arcana Heart and so on was immediately shunned, and that sadly included Guilty Gear.

While the FGC was suffering from the “The Dark Timeline”, these games were supposed to hold the fort: Marvel Vs.Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Capcom Fighting Evolution But the end of the 90’s - Early 2000’s were rough: Companies changing,arcades dying and players’ taste evolving contributed.Also,it seems Capcom devs lacked motivation in this moment:Product was simply uninspired. I was disappointed until Neo Geo Battle Coliseum rolled around and did it right.

[@Noname15514]

It wasn't much of a "dark timeline" (implying the games we got were bad) it was more of a drought. Or a isolation period as most people that were buying the fighters and keeping up with the community during the 6th gen were only the hardcore. Not so good games like the MK games or DBZ Budokai 3 did a fantastic job progressing the genre in terms of single-player. Of course the OVERRATED Street Fighter IV set the genre back. Ignorance was a beneficiary factor for SFIV's success.

There was much potential with the “Code Holders” title, an ultimate villain threatening to destroy Metro City and Capcom heroes needing to join forces to save the innocents. I can totally see this as a 3 vs 3 battle, for in game story you come across a group of fighters who are temporarily brainwashed and that’s why you have to battle (hell that could even be how you include villain characters, they don’t care about innocents but want revenge against the guy who had taken control of them). Then imagine the teams moving through the city: Haggar, Felicia & Sakura or Ryu, J. Talbain, & Batsu. Maybe start with a small story based roster but as you play the story and beat brainwashed allies, you then unlock them so this way you’d have to play through all the various story based groups to get the full roster. Something to think about.

And now it's coming back 😊

GUESS WHATS GETTING A RERELEASE

[@MasterChibi]

I totally almost qualified to play this game in SBO. Good times.

@@MrCageCat Super Battle Opera. The now dead Japanese fighting game tournament. It used to be the biggest of the Japanese tournies. Kinda like evo with the multiple games and all.

@Cristo Alba I gave up halfway into SF4 honestly, but the community's pretty damn amazing now and I just pop up to hang out once in a blue moon.

[@CometX-ing]

Ah, the introduction of my favorite SF character. :)

[@thekingofoldskool2]

'What Happened?' is becoming the highlight of my week. I can't wait for Saturday's to come!

[@TheRedEyeDragon]

Dude did you have the inside info given the new sfv character ????? This timing is uncanny.

[@jyakku79]

Damn lol anybody here in 2024 after the Capcom Fighting Collection 2 announcement?😂😂😂

[@psychogaze]

That portrait...it's like Okamoto KNEW he'd be in this segment and lamented too early.

[@ExeloMinish]

The booze collection behind him really ties the whole thing together

[@Dimimash]

You unlocked a memory in my head I wished to have forgotten. I had this game on my Xbox... :(

[@KnifeToMeetYou_]

Not gonna lie...Fighting All-Stars looked fun af and the OC's besides Ingrid looked really cool. Shame Capcom axed it.

[@KnifeToMeetYou_]

@@Gatorade69 Design-Wise, Compared to the other two OC's, Ingrid just looks like Karin 2.0 while the other two genuinely look like cool characters out of an SNK game added onto a Capcom game. Just my opinion though.

[@divadiva1968]

Sorry but Ingrid is an OC too

[@valentds]

@@Gatorade69 that's the problem

[@darbyreviews]

and its back.... game was lazy but certain games got a pass with same animation . i dont hate it but i dont love it either

*CEO of Capcom knocks on Matt's door* "You know what time it is", says the translator the CEO brought with him.

[@theawesomeike6085]

Ah yes, that time Capcom tried to make a Mugen and failed

[@Ramsey276one]

XD

[@OceanbornAngel]

Animal Crossing and Monster Hunter are two things I just didn't think I'd ever see in one sentence.

[@Bruno-zg6cs]

I remember enjoying the game,it introduced me to red earth,an amazing arcade game that saw no console release ever,but it has tons of potential

[@Ramsey276one]

Same

[@amharbinger]

Capcom is the associate producer of What Happened?

[@veggsbacon1891]

I'm kinda crazy for Ingrid and her design. One of my favorite artists, tetsu, draws a lot of Ingrid, so that's where I get & saved a majority of his arts.

[@DTJBsd]

Good video. Been looking forward to this for a while and I'd say you nailed it.

[@MattMcMuscles]

Hey, thanks!

[@nemoatkins7328]

Wait, hold the fuck on: the original idea for Monster Hunter was to make a game like Animal Crossing? ...I'm sorry, that needs a Wha Happun in and of itself! How do you go from "let's make a nice little place with happy little trees" to having to fight a giant ass dragon? I just...what?!

[@Ramsey276one]

Devil May Cry started as a Resident Evil sequel! XD

[@TheDigitalStrife]

Damn, so that's where Ingrid's from. I fell in love with the character in ProjectXZone and lamented the fact that she was in nothing else at the time.

[@riverboatjohnny9615]

Hi there it’s back.

[@SOK39]

SF2 Sagat in the Alpha style looks so cursed!

[@doubleasworkshop1692]

That 3D fighter by SNK devs at Capcom actually look decent though...

[@TheOnlyJohovah]

Truly the Biginning of the modern fighting game era lol

[@AutisticPhantomOtaku]

Who came back here after this game was revealed to be included in Capcom Fighting Collection 2?

[@EndGameEnt]

I'm just binging your What Happened stuff. It's fantastic!

[@saloz9483]

I still would've preferred all stars over what we got. Its also funny how this game is now part of a collection. I mean I doubt anyone was asking for it.

[@josephescobedo5226]

Crazy that you and Thorgi released a video about the same topic on the same day.

[@nathanrodriguez914nr]

Back here because of the new Capcom Fighting Collection 2, and I wanted to know why everyone hates this game.

[@AceTrainerX3]

In short: game's kinda the nail-in-the-coffin for Capcom Fighters post CvS2, pre-Street Fighter IV. Oh, and it's blamed for killing off Capcom's lesser franchises and any hopes of a Capcom vs Capcom style crossover. With it being included in CFC2 now tho, maybe they've come to some understanding about it.

[@nathanrodriguez914nr]

@@AceTrainerX3 well, that's what I mean. Does it play bad? Like, is it just bad feeling to play like SvC Chaos. I play that for like 2 hours and uninstalled.

[@LuminescentShine]

​@@nathanrodriguez914nrSVChaos was by a company that tried with what they had during or after recovering a bad financial situation. Capcom evolution was made by a company that didn't care about fighters anymore and gave their team the bare time and minimum to work with. Which sounds worse to you?

[@mikaelsza]

Capcom: I'd like to create something next to Animal Crossing Also Capcom: Creates Monster Hunter LoL

[@baddabaddabaddaswing]

You know Capcom is spending next to no money when they bring in Udon.

[@garuelx8627]

Didn't Udon want to help make Darkstalkers 4 but Capcom pulled a Konami and refused?

[@baddabaddabaddaswing]

@@garuelx8627 No, they wanted to remake Darkstalkers like they did the art on SF2 remix, but Capcom declined because the budget would have been much much higher.

[@djb1ge]

The single, shining ray of greatness with this game is the stellar Shinkiro artwork. If I had a dollar for every time I've seen these character portraits on arcade sticks and wallpapers, I could probably retire.

[@elgranpeyo]

I'm after the SFV final character reveal thst might be Luke from Fighting Allstars

[@thebloodedge284]

Nope a completely different character
