| After SNK's "rebirth" following their massive pullout of the US market, they got together with Capcom to plan the fourth SNK and Capcom crossover. The fruits of their labor came in 2003 when "SvC Chaos: SNK Vs Cacpom" was released for the NeoGeo. Unlike the Capcom VS SNK games (Where Capcom acted as the developer), SvC was developed by SNK-Playmore (SNK also developed the NeoGeo Pocket Color game "SNK VS Capcom: Match of the Millenium"; the first Capcom/SNK fighting game). That said, SvC sports a decidedly SNK tone. The game is faster than the average Capcom game and is based on a King of Fighters(03) engine. SNK redrew all the Capcom characters in their own style and it shows. SvC sports a roster of over 35 characters and takes its characters from various sources in the Capcom and SNK stables. The game also features a very unique dialogue tree where every character in the game has specific comments for all of their opponents (Who reply in a unique manner as well), a feature that should be included in more fighting games.<BR> | | After SNK's "rebirth" following their massive pullout of the US market, they got together with Capcom to plan the fourth SNK and Capcom crossover. The fruits of their labor came in 2003 when "SvC Chaos: SNK Vs Capcom" was released for the NeoGeo. Unlike the Capcom VS SNK games (Where Capcom acted as the developer), SvC was developed by SNK-Playmore. SNK also developed the NeoGeo Pocket Color game called "SNK VS Capcom: Match of the Millenium". That said, SvC sports a decidedly SNK tone. The game is faster than the average Capcom game and is based on the King of Fighters 2003 engine. SNK redrew all the Capcom characters in their own style and it shows. SvC sports a roster of 36 characters and takes its characters from various sources in the Capcom and SNK stables. The game also features a very unique dialogue tree where every character in the game has new comments for all of their opponents, a feature that should be included in more fighting games. Much was scrapped from development such as Dante from Devil May Cry originally being intended to be included in the roster, and the game was rushed to meet contractual obligations. A manhua was also released alongside the game in Chinese (32 volumes) and English (8 volumes), however unfortunately as of writing, there is only the Chinese scan available online. This manhua is essentially the game's plot to fill the void of a lack of one in the game itself - characters fighting in the afterlife to enter Heaven or Hell and return to their own timeline. |

|
| If you want to add more bad things, just do it.
| | In 2024, SVC Chaos was rereleased on PC and modern consoles after a surprise reveal at EVO 2024 the same day, with the consoles port releasing 2 days later. The port, handled by CodeMystics, brought with it a proper hitbox viewer (not perfect, but better than what's available on FBNeo), replay takeover, custom ban list lobbies, and a gallery mode to view high quality artwork. It does bring some input delay, however it's greatly exaggerated how bad it is. While people report the input delay sometimes being 7+ frames of delay, this is misinformation spread by the lack of understanding the game's 4-frame rule with normals - a rule that older KOF also follows, with some variations (3-frames in KOF94, only 1-frame in KOF2003 essentially negating the rule, etc.) With this port brought a ton of hype and renewed interest in the game, and chances are, the reason you're now here reading the wiki, too. It's a very unique game, and it has a ton of problems, but so long as you accept that its problems are what make it unique and can have fun with a broken fighting game alongside its abnormal atmosphere and fun gameplay ideas and mechanics, you may find this game to actually be fun. It is also widely regarded as a bad game, and for good reason, but ultimately, remember it's for you to decide if it's still fun or not despite its problems. |

| | When reading this wiki, please keep in mind it was originally written up by only two people back in the mid 2010s, up until 2016-2017, and was since abandoned having been deemed "complete" by them. It was later picked back up in 2020, and as a result, the quality will be all over the place. You can usually tell what is and isn't older info, though. |

| |
| ! Good Things: !! Bad Things:
| |
| |- style="vertical-align:top;text-align:left"
| |
| | style="width: 50%;"|
| |
| * Very fun to play casually (SvC is an easier version of KoF '02, even though this is based of '03)
| |
| * The characters are very fun to learn as well (In case you want to play it competitively, and I would recommend Fightcade for that)
| |
| * Most Capcom sprites are so good (Really, SNK gave Demitri more love than Capcom itself!)
| |
| * The game has very basic mechanics (Which any KOF player will be used to)
| |
| * Dialogues before any fight!
| |
| * No Morrigan! (It's a good thing, really)
| |
| * Violent Ken's debut!
| |
| * Dan is a sub-boss! (No joke)
| |
| * Character endings are usually really detailed
| |
| * HSDMs (They are called "Exceeds" here) cost no meter!
| |
| * The game being broken makes it funny
| |
| * Front Step gives the game an equivalent to Third Strike's Parry system
| |
| * FS allows ''most'' characters to be viable, even if they're bad
| |
| | style="width: 50%;"|
| |
| * Geese (Too good)
| |
| * Dictator (Too bad)
| |
| * Goenitz is back (SNK boss syndrome intensifies)
| |
| * Backgrounds (The backgrounds are very bad)
| |
| * Dhalsim's "stretching" sound effect
| |
| * This game is nothing compared to most SNK games
| |
| * No team battles (or grooves), it's just the classic 1v1
| |
| * Most SNK characters were just copied and pasted from other games
| |
| * There are some unexpected characters here (Like Choi ''alone'', Earthquake, Hugo, Tessa, etc.)
| |
| * It lacks some fan-favorite characters too (Like Benimaru, Haohmaru, Nakoruru, Leona, KoF Athena, Sakura, Blanka, E.Honda, Cammy, Zangief, etc.)
| |
| * Where are the grapplers? (We only have Hugo here)
| |
| * The game is just unbalanced (Sadly)
| |
| * The hitboxes are not okay
| |
| * No story mode (It's just the arcade mode)

| '''Discord Server'''
| | ==The Characters== |
| | |
| This game has had no official server for years, but an attempt at a server is now underway. If you're interested in joining and meeting other SVC Chaos players, feel free to drop by with this link:

| |
| | |
| = Game Mechanics = | |
| '''''Terms you'll need to get used to'''''
| |
| | |
| You have a joystick with 8 directions on a arcade. The inputs of the joystick are called:
| |
| | |
| u = up = {{Motion|8}}<br>
| |
| d = down = {{Motion|2}}<br>
| |
| f = forward = {{Motion|6}}<br>
| |
| b = backwards = {{Motion|4}}<br>
| |
| uf = up-forward = {{Motion|9}}<br>
| |
| ub = up-back = {{Motion|7}}<br>
| |
| df = down-forward = {{Motion|3}}<br>
| |
| db = down-back = {{Motion|1}}<br>
| |
| | |
| With all these directions, you can make inputs. The basic inputs are called:
| |
| | |
| QCF = quarter circle forward = {{Motion|236}}<br>
| |
| QCB = quarter circle back = {{Motion|214}}<br>
| |
| HCF = half circle forward = {{Motion|41236}}<br>
| |
| HCB = half circle back = {{Motion|63214}}<br>
| |
| DP = dragon punch (Ryu's Shoryuken) = {{Motion|623}} (It's not hard to do, really.)<br>
| |
| RDP = reverse dragon punch = {{Motion|421}}<br>
| |
| 360 = full circle motion = {{Motion|360}}
| |
| | |
| If you want to play, you need to know those guys below, they're important to begin your combos, some strategy stuff, and other things.
| |
| | |
| "cr." = This means that the character needs to be on a crouching state<br>
| |
| "s." = This means that the character needs to be on a standing state<br>
| |
| "cl." = This means that the character needs to be close to the opponent<br>
| |
| "f." = This means that the character needs to be far from the opponent<br>
| |
| "j." = This means that the character needs to be on a jumping state<br>
| |
| "sj." = The character needs to do a super jump<br>
| |
| | |
| '''''Some Other Terms'''''
| |
| | |
| * Light Attack Chain/Combo = This is a term that you'll read a lot on some sections. As the name states, it's just a combo with the character's Light Attacks involved. Some characters need it in their game, and some characters can't even do it, that just varies.
| |
| | |
| * Link = First, remember: Link isn't a chain. Link is just comboing two moves, being them normals, Command Moves, Specials, Supers, and things like that. Some characters can link one normal into another one, or one Super into another Super, and there we go.
| |
| | |
| * Knockdown = It's just a move that knocks down your opponent and gives to him the opportunity to do a recovery roll.
| |
| | |
| * Hard Knockdown = A move that knocks down your opponent, but won't give him/her the opportunity to recovery roll. It will have a different animation from a regular knockdown (Something like a slamming animation on the ground), so you can see the difference.
| |
| | |
| * Reset = A move that hits the opponent and will send him in the air, but he will land with the standing animation, unlike the two knockdowns. It's very useful to mixup the opponent.

| |
| |
| |
| * Geese (Stop using him, we don't like to see cl.HP > f+HK infinites in a match.)
| |
| * Zero (He is tied with Geese, and has a huge amount of options for any matchup.)
| |
| |-
| |
| | align="center"|'''Near God Tier''' -- (Broken as well, but has not enough level to be a "God".)
| |
| |
| |
| * Orochi Iori
| |
| * #Shin Akuma (A stronger Akuma with infinite meter can't be broken, right?)
| |

| |
| |
| |
| * Demitri (FIRE! DEMON'S CRADLE!)
| |
| * #Red Arremer (Freaking zoning/unblockable movement character. He can just swarm the entire screen with minions. Some characters can counter it too.)
| |
| * Mars People (The damn unblockable teleport)
| |
| * Violent Ken
| |
| * Tessa (Strongest non-boss character.)

| * Terry
| |
| * Goenitz (Koko desu ka?)
| |
| |-
| |

| * Kim (Braindead.)
| |
| * Kyo
| |
| * Iori
| |
| * Shiki
| |
| * Mai
| |
| * #Serious/Shin Mr. Karate (He could be higher on the list, because he is a boss character - Say that to Athena -, but... He needs to be on MAXIMUM Mode to do his things. Oh, he can't cancel normals too, and has almost no damage on his specials, making him almost useless outside of MAXIMUM Mode.)
| |
| * Mr. Karate
| |
| |-
| |
| | align="center"|'''Mid tier''' -- (The "fair" guys. It's kinda hard to work with them sometimes, but they can be strong on the right hands)
| |

| * Ryu
| |
| * Akuma (Same as Choi.)
| |
| * Choi (Annoying to fight against, but if he takes one or two combos he dies.)

| |
| * Dhalsim
| |
| * Sagat
| |
| * Ryo
| |
| * Ken
| |

| * Claw

| '''Note:''' Characters with a # are selectable only on console versions of the game or the super plus romhack. I'm not sure if this tier list can be accepted(I'm updating it from time to time, and I'll try to make sure that this Tier List is as accurate as possible. I think that the Low Tier part is okay), but anyway. Some Low Tier chars can win against characters from higher tiers, because what matters is the player, not the character(Well, the problem is just... The game is just broken). For the console-only characters, it's just my opinion on where they are located.
| |
| | |
| = The Characters = | |
| [[File:svccharaselect1.png]] | | [[File:svccharaselect1.png]] |
| * [[Akuma (SvC)|Akuma/Gouki]] (Offensive-based shoto character, but has low stamina, like on most games. It's one of those "Glass Cannons".)
| |
| * [[Balrog (SvC)|Balrog(Boxer)]] (Has interesting combos, but he isn't that good in this game, sadly. He isn't free to jump a lot too.)
| |
| * [[Choi Bounge (SvC)|Choi Bounge]] (The smallest character in the game, and one of the fastest ones as well. If you learn how to use him, you'll be a small target jumping around any direction of the screen in an insane speed. He is not for beginners, but he is very fun to play once you learn how to use him.)
| |
| * [[Chun-Li (SvC)|Chun-Li]] (It's Chun, the Capcom lady, which means she is strong, has easy combos, and she is very easy to master. In my opinion, the SvC Chun-Li is one of her strongest versions.)
| |
| * [[Dhalsim (SvC)|Dhalsim]] (Hard to play, but has great reach on his attacks. He has a huge amount of normals, which makes him one of the hardest characters to master.)
| |
| * [[Earthquake (SvC)|Earthquake]] (This guy is from Samurai Shodown, and he is SNK's big target, but he is really fast and strong, unlike most big characters in fighting games. We just call him "EQ" for short. For intermediate players.)
| |
| * [[Genjyuro Kibagami (SvC)|Genjyuro Kibagami]] (He is kinda fun to play, but... Umm... Where is Haohmaru? He is a big target as well although it doesn't looks like, and most zoning characters are very happy when they fight against him.)
| |
| * [[Guile (SvC)|Guile]] (You know what he does, and he is still strong for beginners, and even on high-level matches. SvC has the worst Sonic Boom too.)
| |
| * [[Hugo (SvC)|Hugo]] (This is Capcom's big target. If you like grapplers with 360 moves, he is yours. Oh, he can parry moves too. Zangief would be a better option, but we are okay with that. Not for beginners, but if you like grapplers...)
| |
| * [[Iori Yagami (SvC)|Iori Yagami]] (One of the most loved SNK characters. He has probably one of the best special anti-airs in the game, and if you like those Rekka characters, Iori is a great choice for beginners.)
| |
| * [[Kasumi Todoh (SvC)|Kasumi Todoh]] (She is based on counter moves, but she has some combo options. I don't think she is for beginners.)
| |
| * [[Ken (SvC)|Ken]] (Coolest character in the game, losing only to his Violent version. Has the best Shoryuken, and his fireball sucks. That's the Ken we know. Good for beginners.)
| |
| * [[Kim Kaphwan (SvC)|Kim Kaphwan]] (Another Rekka character, but he is way more offensive, and be used on defense as well. Very easy to use, and I really recommend him for beginners.)
| |
| * [[Kyo Kusanagi (SvC)|Kyo Kusanagi]] (He is using the "school boy" costume, but he doesn't have the classic playstyle, which is sad... Rekka Kyo sucks. He is another easy-to-use Rekka character with great combo options in MAXIMUM Mode.)
| |
| * [[Mai Shiranui (SvC)|Mai Shiranui]] (The SNK lady, but she isn't that easy. I can say that she is for intermediate players.)
| |
| * [[M. Bison (SvC)|M. Bison(Dictador)]] (The worst version of Dictador. Has little-to-no combo options, his Exceed can't be confirmed, and his regular Psycho Crusher has no priority. The Dictador is not for beginners.)
| |
| * [[Mr. Karate (Takuma Sakazaki) (SvC)|Mr. Karate]] (A SNK character with the Fireball/Uppercut gameplan. He doesn't have many combo options, but he is very easy to learn, I recommend him for beginners.)
| |
| * [[Ryo Sakazaki (SvC)|Ryo Sakazaki]] (Another SNK shoto, but he is harder than Mr. Karate. I can say that he is for intermediate players, because you'll need to know how to parry and counter almost any move.)
| |
| * [[Ryu (SvC)|Ryu]] (It's the shoto we all know. You don't know who you want to use? Just stick with Ryu to get used to the game, and one day you'll probably find your main.)
| |
| * [[Sagat (SvC)|Sagat]] (The strongest SF boss here. Sagat is just a zoning character, like on any other game. If you like to spam projectiles, Sagat is yours.)
| |
| * [[Shiki (SvC)|Shiki]] (Another Samurai Shodown character. Her combos are easy in my opinion, but she is a big target, sadly. You can begin with her if you like easy combos.)
| |
| * [[Tessa (SvC)|Tessa/Tabasa]] (So... Another zoning character? Well... She is kinda hard to learn here, so I won't recommend her for beginners.)
| |
| * [[Terry Bogard (SvC)|Terry Bogard]] (Basic and classic. An easy and strong character to pick. I recommend him for beginners. "Power Wave!" "Crack Shoot!")
| |
| * [[Vega (SvC)|Vega(Claw)]] (Worst version of Claw, that's what I can say. He is not for beginners, but if you're already used to his playstyle, go ahead.)
| |
|
| |
| '''Hidden Characters'''
| |
| * [[Geese Howard (SvC)|Geese Howard]] (Strongest and easiest character in the game. Has infinites, easy MAXIMUM loops, and more stuff. If you're one of those tier whores, use him. Note: If you use Geese, only Geese players will like you.)
| |
| * [[Leopold Goenitz (SvC)|Leopold Goenitz]] (How to use Goenitz: First step - ''"Koko desu ka?"''. Second step - Repeat the first step, but use another button. Good for beginners, and in case you like spamming things from far away, he is a great character to choose.)
| |
| * [[Mars People (SvC)|Mars People]] (Another zoning character, but I think he... "It" is the weakest one. For intermediate players.)
| |
| * [[Orochi Iori (SvC)|Orochi Iori]] (Fastest character in the game, and a strongest version of Iori. Top 3 in the game. The regular Iori is easier to use in my opinion, but their playstyle is pretty similiar.)
| |
| * [[Dan Hibiki (SvC)|Dan Hibiki]] (He is not exactly a joke here, but he is still the weakest character in the game, probably tied with Dictador. Oh, I almost forgot to say that the Gadouken got nerfed. He is not for beginners, obviously, but very fun to use.)
| |
| * [[Demitri Maximoff (SvC)|Demitri Maximoff]] (Another Shoto, but this one is very zoning-based. Demitri is probably the best zoning character in the game, thanks to the ''"Fire!'', and the ''"Demon's Cradle!"''. Easy to use, and has some good combos too. He is Top 4 in the game, excluding the console-only characters, and yes, most hidden characters are just broken.)
| |
| * [[Violent Ken (SvC)|Violent Ken]] (Coolest character in the game, is obviously stronger than ther regular Ken, but... To do his things, you'll need good hands. For intermediate players.)
| |
| * [[Rockman Zero (SvC)|Rockman Zero]] (On the "Strongest SvC characters" list, Zero is probably tied with Geese, but he is a little harder to use. You'll need some experience to use him.)\
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Final Bosses (Only playable on the home versions)'''
| | {{SuperCombo Wiki:Roadmap/SVC}} |
| * [[Serious Mr. Karate (SvC)|Serious Mr. Karate]] (The regular version was a Fireball/Uppercut character, so... Is this one the same thing? "No." He can't cancel his normals outside of the MAXIMUM Mode, and most of his specials have no damage, which means that his game is based on the MAXIMUM Mode. Can be good for beginners, assuming that he can charge his meter.)
| |
| * [[Shin Akuma (SvC)|Shin Akuma]] (Stronger Akuma version. He is offensive-based, has double air fireballs, most of his Super Moves won't cost meter, and has an unblockable Exceed, the Misogi. That's Shin Akuma.)
| |
| * [[Red Arremer (SvC)|Red Arremer]] (Another zoning character, but he can put so many things on the screen... Demitri is better anyway. Not for beginners, and has no crouching animation, but has crouching moves.)
| |
| * [[Athena (SvC)|Athena]] (She is not the KoF Athena, but I know what she is. She is the weakest boss in the game. Definitively not for beginners, but she has some of the most damaging normals in the game.)
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Note:''' After you click in one of those above, put the cursor in the character's animation to see his/her best win quote (In my opinion, I mean).
