So Capcom vs SNK 2 is on PS2 Classics on the Japanese PSN.
Has a Network Mode (apparently the original PS2 Japanese release had online and this kept it)? O__o Anybody with impressions? lol Might have to grab a Japanese PSN card if this doesn't show up for US release anytime soon.

There is no actual online mode however, it says so in the game description on PlayStation Store. I'm just assuming the game has all the original menus, since it's just the PS2 version.
 
Champ 15-8. Dormamu gonna blow up Chris G. Who has a Dorm on the East Coast?
A real one.

Who has a Morrigan on the West Coast?
Or a Ryu/Hawkeye.

Also both players have no high stake money match experience so that factor is thrown out the window.
 
It's nice that the ChrisG/Champ rivalry is actually just a "These are the two best guys in the Country" thing instead of well, a Fanatiq MM.
 
Who has a Morrigan on the West Coast?

We don't need one, the point is Dorm shits all over Morrigan. Evo was close, and I think Chris should have won. I'll give Chris that. But I think Champ is better at adapting, look at his matches vs Infrit. It will be close to start but Champ will pull out way ahead. He'll poke holes in Chris G over the course of the matches.

Was about to ask about that. Singles play != team play != money match play.

Makes it a real toss up. Both have been a little fragile under pressure at different times. Also first time I will cheer for Chris G.

And Hawkeye does well against Dorm. Last time Chris used Hawkeye against champ it destroyed Dorm.

Hawkeye blows up dorm
 
True, but how does that team deal with Phoenix? It'll be a great set either way.

The way I see it, Champ has a high class plan A and plan B. Chris has options, but only his plan A is on or near Champs level.

But then Chris might just need to throw it in for a game or two to break up the rythm.
 
I don't know, Champ seems to arrogant to split the pot for something like that. Maybe that's just what he wants us to think though.

There is nothing like a big money match to set up a bigger money match.

Mind you if Champ does want us to think he is too arrogant... Well played so far.
 
Champ is going to win. Betting it all on Champ. :)

That being said. I'll make the OT for SB.
wonder what chris g is gonna do with all the money he is going to win. if you are betting on champ because you want chris g to win then you are gonna double jinx him and champ is gonna win 15-0.

Fanatiq himself praised Chris G as one of the smartest players he has gone up against and how he'll download you if you play against him. You're underestimating Chris G's ability to adapt because it's hard to tell who's better at downloading his opponent, Chris G or F Champ.

But then again Chris G obviously isn't very strong mentally, so IMHO he'll either win by a comfortable margin or he'll lose.
 
Champ will bug before Chris does. In fact, Champ will crack by match 8. The frustration will fold him, and at that point, it will be maximum flail. For as much as Chris has been seen shaking his head/checking out - Champ will top it.

Chris 15-10.

... I swear if Champ loses..

P.S The real question is who's coaching Chris G when F. Champ might have Phil Jackson on his side?

I would of agreed with you about this like 3-4 months ago but Chris has really changed. He almost never gives up now and he makes a lot more comebacks. I remember when he was down 0-2 against that MODOK player at EVO I thought he was done. Then he made an amazing comeback to win 3-2. The old chris would of just given up. He's not necessarily known for his mental fortitude but he has gotten a lot better with it in the past few months.
 
Is chrisg any good in money matches?

anyway, by theory, hawkeye/doom/morrigan is going to beat mag/dorm/doom, but chrisg fails at super hype matches way too often.

Champ 15-11.

It can go 50-50, because Hawkeye beats Dorm and Doom but doesn't beat Mag while Dorm beats Morrigan and F Champ has the better Doom. Whether or not Chris G wins depends heavily on the Mag-Hawkeye matchup.

Chris perform the same in money matches as he does in tournament. However I'm pretty sure that neither Chris or Champ has ever had a 4 figure money match. I have no clue how much this one is, but I'm assuming at least 1k.

There can only be one man.

Ahhhh just perfect. Curse for curse now both Champ and Chris G have been cursed.

I'm predicting 5 drop combos in the clincher match for whomever takes it.
 
Champ will win because.

Pacquaio > all those latino boxers.

Sim > sakura.

Cali pizza > ny pizza.

Beats by dre > skull candy.

Balut > flan.
 
Team Japan for the Canada Cup International 5on5:

Tokido (Akuma) - Captain
Mago (??)
Bon-chan (Sagat)
Kazunoko (Yun)
Fuudo (Fei Long)

Looks like Mago will probably play Adon or Cammy.

What is the format? Because that team looks ok.

Solid team, even though it's missing couple of guys but I didn't expect either Daigo or Sako to be there anyway.

It would be pretty hilarious if Kazunoko singlehandedly wins everything again, but this isn't AE anymore.
 
Maybe ChrisG will bust out the Morrigan/Magneto/Doom team for the MM.


anyway, by theory, hawkeye/doom/morrigan is going to beat mag/dorm/doom, but chrisg fails at super hype matches way too often.
In theory it can go either way and even in reality it goes either way. Hawkeye beats Dorm and Doom, Dorm beats Morrigan and Doom, Magneto beats Hawkeye, Morrigan beats Magneto (sort of I would say this is 50/50 depending on life lead, that life difference actually makes a different here for Morrigan).

I have no idea who to bet on this personally. I think both are the type of players to take the MM seriously and practice super hard. ChrisG will have some tricks up his sleeves in the match up but will it be enough?
 
Buggers... found out that the NM tournament will be a week before Season's Beatings a day before I signed up to go.... Oh well, I guess I'll make plans for maybe Final Round or UFGT. :(
