the thread that won't die!!! agggghhhh anyways it seems people have strong opinions about this game. I still haven't played it, so I am not passing judgment yet. I WILL buy it either way, just to help send the message to Capcom and SNK that 2d is not dead. every 2d game that comes out on my system of choice gets purchased just for that reason. did I really need SVC: Chaos? no, I have an arcade perfect rom running on my xbox now. but I still bought it to support the 2d scene.
