I distinctly recall the short road trip we had where he drove me to a DDR tournament and the music of choice for the car ride was the Guilty Gear XX soundtrack.Ī Polaroid snapshot of the Ohio arcade scene in 2002. Capcom 2 and Tekken 4, so he was kind of one of the few DDR community players I could reliably branch out to for fighting games. KBNova had helped me learn more about what could be done in games such as Marvel Vs. I’d actually had no idea the game was available to arcades and it kind of just materialized in front of us. Sitting there in this collection was a very prominently displayed cabinet featuring SVC Chaos. I remember this clearly because at that time I was visiting arcades with Guilty Gear player KBNova and we traveled to a Columbus-area bowling alley that had a DanceDanceRevolution cabinet. When SVC Chaos released in 2003, I had heard a few things about it through newsbits, but then it kind of just … dropped into arcades. However, SVC Chaos has this bizarrely-attractive aesthetic that hasn’t escaped my mind nearly 20 years later. SNK game and would say it does a couple of things better than Capcom Vs.

Chaos can’t compare in quality – I’m actually a huge fan of the first Capcom Vs. Capcom – SVC Chaos to get lost in the fighting game shuffle. SNK gets a lot of love, so it’s easy for Playmore’s title-flipping effort SNK Vs.
