For
time immemorial, the 2D fighting lines have been divided over two similar,
yet infinitely different
properties: Capcom's infallible Street Fighter
series, and SNK's underdoggish King of Fighters line. Both series include
lush 2D art, bold character designs, and a strong reliance on the quarter-circle-forward
"Hado-ken" style of special moves. In recent years, Capcom and SNK
seem to have been taking friendly pot-shots at each other, including sneaky
references and in-jokes (the least subtle of which is the character of Dan,
intended as a shameless ripoff of SNK's ponytailed male protagonists). But
the possibility of both companies teaming up to create a Fighters Megamix
of the 2D variety? Ha! Perish the thought.
