Released in 2001, Capcom vs. SNK 2 ("CvS2") is the sequel to the first fighting collaboration between the SNK and Capcom franchises. The main features include 6 Grooves (fighting styles), 48 total characters, a refined ratio system, and traditional Street Fighter gameplay. Although CvS2 is a Capcom-developed game, it still retains elements from SNK's popular King of Fighters games, which features a wide selection of characters in a team-based format.
CvS2 was released on a multitude of platforms as shown in the infobox, And is also featured as a headliner for Capcom Fighting Collection 2. With there being differences between platforms, either it be the EO version (Easy Operation), or bug fixes, see CvS2 Game Versions for more information on the differences between all released versions.
A year has passed since the original tournament known as Millennium Fight 2000. This time, the political conflicts of the Garcia Financial Clique and the Masters Foundation have a rematch once again by releasing a million dollar fighting tournament called the Mark of the Millennium 2001 (Millionaire Fighting 2001 in Japan), all of the original fighters from both powers clash once again, but with more fighters both legends and newcomers.
Here are some useful resources gathered here for anyone new or trying to learn.
The CvS2 Discord community has started the process of finally updating and modernizing the CvS2 Wiki. Much of the information here was originally on the old SRK Wiki, which was haphazardly culled together. When the wiki was moved from SRK to Mizuumi, and finally here to Supercombo, additional information from various FAQs was added and initial an character page template was created. As of early 2022, work is finally beginning to bring that template to more character pages, as well as clean up and better organize other data pages.
To get a good idea of the level of baseline quality we would like to eventually have all the character pages at, see Hibiki, Maki, and Iori.
Most of the links in the wiki navbox (see below) will have good info, albeit very cluttered and disorganized. Fixing these up is being done in parallel with the character pages.
For progress updates, or if you would like to help edit the wiki, visit the CvS2 Discord and inquire in the #cvs2-wiki-discussion channel.
