The worst example of cut-and-paste that Capcom's ever done.

And why the hell did the timer thing keep running? Shouldn't it have stopped at 2001? Morons.

Agreed, that was weird. Capcom has bought a 3D engine, and wanted to show it... I want 2D art again !!

I would say Fighting Vipers.
It had a super intro with noice and violence and such, then finally a poor asmatic voice poorly says "faitinugusu vaipazu".

Second is that PS Vampire intro, with a bad, bad, BAAAAD song and really ugly graphics, closely followed by Vampire Chronicles intro.

And I agree for CvS2. The CvS series is strange, the first game has a great intro but the game is pure crap, and the second one is a superb game but has a pathetic intro...

Project Justice had a lame intro compared to Rival Schools.

I think the timer kept going so it would reach one million since the game's full title was Capcom vs. SNK 2: Millionaire Fighting 2001.

Time to get a view of current results :

4 Capcom VS SNK 2
1 Fight Fever
1 Fighting Vipers
1 KOF'99
1 Marvel VS Capcom
1 Marvel VS Capcom 2
1 Project Justice
1 Vampire (PSX)
1 Real Bout Fatal Fury
1 World Heroes Perfect

It appears that CVS2's intro is not popular at all... But what for the others ?

Come on, vote, no tie is allowed =)

Street Fighter Alpha 2 for Playstation! while the arcade intro ruled, they resorted to videotaping the source and streaming the video on the psx, and bad enough the bitrate was very low and the video looked horribly grainy and pixellated.

In fact, I'm afraid it's out of the list, because it's a problem related only to the psx version ; and contrary to Vampire, SFA2 intro is the same on arcade an PSX ; last, the SFZ2 dash on PSX has fixed the video problem.

We are trying to list the worst intro with artistic criteria, such as drawings, musics, animations, and above all inspiration. For the PSX version, it's a technical problem ; non of these crtierias are concerned.

But I agree with you, the PSX intro is really awful =)

For my money the announcer from Real Bout Fatal Fury Special is still the worst. Not only does he try, and fail, to be hip like the kids that "Too bad!" he would whine out when you lost was enough to make you want to put your fist through the screen.

My vote for bad intros goes to the arcade versions of Soul Calibur 1 and 2 and the DC port of SC1. The DC intro was rambling, didn't pump me up for the game in the least, and wasn't interesting even after I randomly stuck Lizardman throughout the intro thanks to the intro editor.

Worst intro, eh? Ha ha ha, I would agree with Freeter and say " Fight Fever " , but it's funny. As far as things that are just flat-out bad go, I'd have to say Capcom vs. SNK 2, as well. The problem is I generally skip intros; it just so happens I remember these two.

Wait, are we supposed to be talking in joke style, or are we talking seriously? 'Cause I'm seeing people say that worthy games are "the worst ever" when I think we've forgotten the league of fighters that came out when fighting games were just a fad.

My vote goes to Clay Fighter 2. Jumps that were too vertical and not horizontal enough, horrid animation count, Genesis-style graphics even on the Super NES, Genesis-style music on the SNES (and, neither the graphics nor music were shining examples of what the Genesis was capable of...), boring musical compositions, slow and awkward controls... ugh. Bad memories...!

[Edit: At the same time, I have to say that I haven't seen Fight Fever. I take it it's better that I don't? ;) ]

Yes, it's best that you don't; but we're talking about intros only, not game-play ( I quite like Capcom vs. SNK 2, it just has a bad intro )

"My opinions..." , posted Tue 1 Oct 16:24

I'm surprised that someone actually said Project Justice. Project Justice's intro is among my all-time favorites.

The only KoF intro that I found to be cool was KoF2k's, but I'm surprised that someone actually pointed out that that was the only KoF intro they didn't like.

CvS2's intro was fairly lame, although the music and the announcer does get me pretty pumped. CvS1's intro kicked @$$ though.

The Vs. Series also had some pretty pumped up intro's, most especially Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter.

Worst intro ever: KoF '99 Dreammatch. The anime one. Horrid artwork, cheesy music.

Useless but true fact: Australian soldiers used "We're Off to See the Wizard" as a marching song during WWII.

I agree with you on project justice,I liked the KOF2k intro too but..
How can anyone not like KOF99 dream match's anime intro?..I think it's cool..sure the quality could be better but the art is not bad and the music is just proper-it fits even though it could be labeled as "cheesy"..

The intro of the Darkstalkers game for Dreamcast (forgot its name). Just a cut and paste of images from the original intros... lame...

And for a "collection", where are the backgrounds from the first game??? (the good ones in my opinion).

The worst would probably be something I wouldn't remember much.

What would come to mind to me... Like some of the other posts, copy and paste intros are pretty non hot.
Oh I know, the worst intro is Zero Wing, only because I have to see flash animations of it on the net.

Make a Best Game Intro thread next !

oops, fighting game. Zero wing never came out in U.S.? rrrrr. um.... Agressors of Dark Kombat? Only because of that picture of the ninja with the surprised look is kinda funny. Um, I don't remember it that much... Maybe SFA3 because I didn't like the drawings that much....

And the winner is...

7 Capcom VS SNK 2
2 Fight Fever
2 KOF'99
2 Marvel VS Capcom
1 Agressor of Dark Kombat
1 Capcom VS SNK
1 Fighting Vipers
1 KOF'99 Dreammatch (Dreamcast)
1 KOF'2K
1 Marvel VS Capcom 2
1 Project Justice
1 Vampire (PSX)
1 Real Bout Fatal Fury
1 Real Bout Fatal Fury Special
1 Soul Calibur (Arcade)
1 Soul Calibur 2 (Arcade)
1 Street Fighter Zero 3
1 World Heroes Perfect

Some results are surprising, but it's players' choice.

I would point out some facts, according to these results :

- The worst intro come from Capcom ;
- Quality of KOFs' intros (from SNK) were going down (strange result, I liked KOF'2K);
- No one has named KOF'2K1, which means that either players like this one, or no one considers it as a fighting game =) ;
- Quality of Capcom intros are going down too (have Capcom ever made a good fighting game intro ? - Jokin again, I liked SFZ1 & 2).

Have fun =)

It was decent to me. The music was rockin' and the incredible art was all it really needed. Plus the zoom-in from Demon Hyo's eye to the logo was sweet.

Right... But the worst thing is that the game was a "Savior 2" base, you always have Jedah as the boss, and NO ENDING!!!!!
Sure, the ending of Bulletta was so annoying, and it took so much place, we had to take it away.

And For the intro... I happen to love MvC2's intro. when I first got it, and didn't know who was secret, and all those dark characters that became clear when you got them... That was great (too bad I had to use the save state to win the character that needed KDD points.)

URA and Remix were on the Saturn and not very good. Kids and Puzzle were also not too good but they were Japanese only PSX games...

and yeah, when it first came out it was neat... it sort of took 2D fighting into 3D (and if I'm not mistaken was the first side-stepping game) pretty cool when it came out, too bad it couldn't stand up to time
