  • The collection features a fantastic lineup of classic fighting games, including Capcom vs. SNK 2, which is considered one of the best fighting games of all time.
  • The online play is smooth and utilizes rollback netcode, enhancing the multiplayer experience significantly.
  • The inclusion of quality-of-life improvements, such as training modes and a gallery of artwork, adds value to the collection.
  • Many games in the collection are only the arcade versions, lacking the additional content and modes found in their console counterparts, such as Power Stone's adventure mode and character customization.
  • The online community is small, leading to long wait times for matches, and the lack of crossplay limits the player base further.
  • Some players have reported issues with input lag and matchmaking, particularly in ranked modes, which detracts from the overall experience.
  • gameplay
    38 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay across the reviewed titles showcases a blend of nostalgia and mechanical depth, with many games offering faithful recreations of their arcade originals, complete with robust training modes and diverse mechanics. While some titles are praised for their smooth controls and strategic depth, others face criticism for simplified mechanics and limited character options. Overall, the collection appeals to both newcomers and veterans, though some players may find the gameplay experience lacking in variety and depth compared to modern standards.

    • “If you like this era of Street Fighter, for gameplay, presentation, and roster; it doesn’t get any better than this!”
    • “But it is beneath the surface where CVS2 reveals its true genius: a gameplay system of astonishing depth and versatility.”
    • “The gameplay mechanics are very standard as far as fighting games are concerned.”
    • “You're stuck using the pre-made, generic characters, some of which have nonsensical movesets (such as the guy that doesn't have any special moves, only super moves). It's especially frustrating in the case of games like Power Stone 1/2, which are pretty barren by themselves, especially the latter since the already simple gameplay from the original was further simplified and there are no arcade endings.”
    • “Abandoning the 'groove' system, each character's mechanics are locked to their games, similar to Mugen.”
  • music
    26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music aspect of the Capcom Fighting Collection 2 has received mixed feedback; while the inclusion of remixed soundtracks and a comprehensive museum mode with over 300 music tracks is praised, many users express frustration over the lack of options to customize or turn off the menu music. The remixed tracks for select games are appreciated, though some feel they don't always match the quality of the original soundtracks. Overall, the collection is celebrated for its engaging music features, but the limitations on user control detract from the experience.

    • “Capcom has included artwork, an extra soundtrack for each game, and other bonuses like version select for certain games and extra characters, like Ingrid in Alpha 3.”
    • “The museum mode has been such a great feature with 3 of the games getting a remix of their music tracks and they're really good.”
    • “The up-scaling for Project Justice and Power Stone 1 & 2 looks absolutely stunning, and I dig how Capcom created entirely new optional soundtracks for several of the games.”
    • “No options regarding changing menu music, or having any sort of options related to the soundtrack in general is wack (not even a jukebox mode).”
    • “Let me turn the music off, let me turn the music off, let me turn the music off, not just lower the volume.”
    • “The only negatives I have is that CVS1 doesn't have the edit color mode like the old game, you can't change the main menu music so you're stuck listening to it and there's no crossplay.”
  • graphics
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the Capcom Fighting Collection 2 are praised for their crisp high-resolution visuals and polished presentation, enhancing the nostalgic experience of classic games. The collection features a wealth of extras, including over 700 pieces of artwork and 300+ music tracks, alongside customizable settings like resolution scaling and filters that enrich the overall aesthetic. However, some users expressed disappointment over the censorship of certain artwork in the gallery, which detracted from the otherwise vibrant and engaging visual experience.

    • “Every title within this collection has been polished to a gleam—graced with crisp high-resolution visuals, buttery-smooth rollback netcode for online duels, and thoughtful extras such as concept art, soundtracks, and robust training modes that invite both veterans and fresh challengers to hone their skills.”
    • “There's also a ton of extra features like filters, borders, remixed music, and artwork to make the presentation feel much more alive.”
    • “You get a 2x internal resolution option, online matchmaking, several screen filter options, high-res artwork galleries, and a full (and optional) arranged soundtrack for every game.”
    • “Even with a PC like mine that plays DOA6 extremely slow because of lack of graphics, Project Justice plays on my PC fairly well.”
    • “Capcom censored artwork for a theoretical person that would not buy this game under any circumstance, if they even existed.”
    • “And after that, I find out they censored the artwork in the gallery, which is just petty and dumb.”
  • story
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews indicate that while the game offers a solid arcade experience, it falls short for those seeking a robust story mode, particularly for fans of the previous titles like Rivals School and Project Justice. Many players express disappointment over the absence of a dedicated story mode, which is crucial for understanding the lore, especially for newcomers. However, some appreciate the variety of mechanics and team dynamics in the arcade mode, even if the narrative elements are less engaging.

    • “A 3D team fighter with a variety of mechanics and team attacks to really dive into, as well as a story mode with spoken Japanese dialogue.”
    • “Just because of achievements, I played all Project Justice story paths and it is a surprisingly well-made game.”
    • “The arcade mode also has a fun story mode.”
    • “If you're going in to experience story modes or play at a more casual level, you will be disappointed.”
    • “This is a sequel to Rivals, so newcomers won’t really get the story or lore if they care about it.”
    • “Unfortunately, I don't know the story of the previous game (Rivals School).”
  • replayability
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers endless replayability, particularly through its emulation of original arcade ports and the inclusion of beloved characters, which enhances the experience for both new and veteran players. Quality-of-life improvements, such as adjusted AI and damage values, make the games more accessible, while the mechanics encourage experimentation and engagement. However, some players express disappointment over the absence of console-exclusive content that could have further enriched replay value.

    • “Like MVC2, playing around with these mechanics is what gives this game infinite replayability and makes this game a blast to play whether you're a new or old fan of fighters.”
    • “It's still deep, stylish, and endlessly replayable.”
    • “As someone who was really looking forward to this collection, I was very disappointed to learn this was instead going to be comprised of only the arcade versions, meaning none of the console stuff that helped make these games even more legendary than they already were and added a little replay value are here.”
    • “I don't think any other company makes collections with quality-of-life tweaks like adjusting AI and damage values so that these quarter-sucking arcade games are playable by normal people.”
    • “Endless replayability.”
  • optimization
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the game collection has received mixed reviews; while rollback netcode ensures smooth online performance, some users report significant frame rate drops on older hardware, indicating a need for performance improvement patches. Overall, there are concerns about the game's overall optimization, particularly regarding the integration of console assets into arcade titles.

    • “The collection also features rollback netcode for smooth online performance for each game.”
    • “Of course, my laptop is old, but before, I had no problem setting it to double the resolution. However, now the frame rate drops, so this is an area where a performance improvement patch is needed.”
    • “Of course, my laptop is old, but before, I had no problem setting it to double the resolution, but now the frame rate drops, so this is an area where a performance improvement patch is needed.”
    • “I assume their netcode is optimized for those two systems, and retroactively adding console assets onto arcade games isn't something you can easily do.”
    • “The entire game is unoptimized.”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find "Project Justice" to be humorous, highlighting its comedic elements as a standout feature of the game.

    • “Project Justice: This game is hilarious!”
    • “The humor in this game is top-notch and keeps me laughing throughout.”
    • “I love how the game incorporates witty dialogue and funny situations.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of Capcom vs. SNK 2 is praised for its balance between competitive integrity and casual play, allowing players to toggle glitches like roll-canceling. The implementation of rollback netcode and the removal of most exploits for ranked matches further enhances the game's stability, catering to both competitive and casual audiences.

    • “The game crashes frequently, making it nearly unplayable during online matches.”
    • “I experienced constant lag and disconnections, which ruined my gaming experience.”
    • “The stability issues are frustrating; I often find myself unable to complete a match due to server problems.”
  • monetization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has been widely criticized as a cash grab, with users expressing disappointment in the company's focus on profit over preserving the legacy of its classic titles.

    • “Another lazy, disappointing collection from a company more interested in cash grabs than preserving the legacy of their greatest games.”
    • “A blatant cash grab.”
    • “Another Capcom half-baked cash grab.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express a strong engagement with the game, particularly highlighting "Plasma Sword" as a captivating experience that draws them away from their usual grinding routines. However, there is a desire for Capcom to enhance the game by incorporating the CVS2 arcade into ranked mode, catering to long-time fans who have invested years into grinding the DC version.

    • “One thing I wish Capcom would have done is include CVS2 arcade in the ranked mode of the game for people who have been grinding in the game for the past 20 years using the DC version.”
  • character development
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development in the game is reminiscent of the stylistic influences from series like "Tenjou Tenge," with character designs that evoke a nostalgic arcade feel akin to titles like "Power Stone." This blend of design and gameplay enhances the overall experience, suggesting a deeper connection to the characters and their backgrounds.

    • “The character designs give me a lot of Tenjou Tenge vibes, and it wouldn't shock me if Oh Great was used as a reference. It's fascinating how a game adaptation of that series would resemble this.”
    • “Power Stone and the other games in the collection are arcade-era titles that provide not just enjoyable gameplay but also rich character design.”
  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express a strong emotional connection to the game, highlighting a sense of joy and camaraderie experienced while playing with friends. The enthusiasm suggests that the game fosters positive and wholesome interactions, enhancing the overall emotional experience.
