When all is said and done, Capcom vs SNK 2 is still my favorite combo playground of any video game i’ve ever owned. Unfortunately it’s exceedingly rare to come across any new productions featuring CvS2, so it’s a good day whenever i do find one. This one showed up recently, but apparently it was recorded three years ago.

Capcom vs. SNK2 Super Maniac Techniques

It was edited and uploaded by desora but features gameplay by SAW and Chari as well. Normally i prefer clean editing, but it’s actually pretty cool how he leaves the mistakes in there because it feels more organic. Also in some cases we can see hints as to how the technique was performed, like with Chun Li whiffing DF+HK before she kattobi cancels it into CC activation on the second try.

The highlight of the video is at 2:01, where A-Chun Li sets up a crazy backwards stomp juggle CC midscreen. A-Dhalsim’s stylish drill CC at 0:42 is fun to watch too. There’s even a cool full-stage A-Geese CC at 1:22, ending with a Raging Storm which actually knocks his opponent out of the corner. Though the best part may be the ending, where we see eight different things that could’ve gone wrong in a C-Sagat combo which seemed very basic when shown only seconds prior.
