A brand new one could be nice but problem is there is a possibility that he could be kind of lame..and even if he was OK he wouldn't be accepted as such by SNK/Capcom fans.
Whatever,I mean,either new or old the different opinions will always exist..
Me personally,I'd like to see some of the old SNK bosses getting a new look(that means redrawn,not just new outfits..)

NO boss, just have it like Street Fighter Alpha/Zero 2 and have people fight their rivals as "bosses" to finish the story.

I actually liked that, and depending on how good your score is or if you continued or whatever, determines what rival you fight. Especially good for those with more than one rival.

you can have one of them as a mid boss (like Alpha/Zero 2) if you don't lose for a couple of fights or whatnot someone will jump in and challenge you.

CvS2 also did this before the tournament finals. Y'know when either Geese or Bison would challege you depending on Groove Points earned.

This time it would just be determined by wins and how you win and if you continued or not.

I agree 110%. Zero 2-style "rival" bosses make for a much more entertaining story. (Not that story is really very important in a dream match/crossover style game). However, in this case, almost every character has a natural rival (either on their own side or on the other side) that could be a last boss.

Ultra-mega bosses usually turn out incredibly weak anyways (see Abyss, Shin Gouki/God Rugal, SFZ3 Bison, Zero, Krizalid). Then again, I did like Goenitz, Orochi, Kain/Grant, and Gill... so I suppose it's not ALWAYS a bad idea. It just seems like it totally breaks the story down when EVERYONE is chasing after the same person. (Once again... not that story is incredibly important)

Remember those old school fighters and how you couldn't lose a round to fight the secret boss? I think Fatal Fury Special was like that to fight Ryo.

Personally, I'd rather see something like Kula from KOF2k and Iori and Kyo from KOF99 instead of a boss. A balanced secret character that can be legitimately used in both casual and tournament play that's just had the AI cranked up so that it can serve as a boss. Bosses are fun, but KOF bosses like Igniz, Zero, and Krizalid are just a waste of time and cart space. A new hidden character with the AI cranked up to eleven would've served just as well as a boss while still making a useful addition to the player versus player gameplay.

Kain from MOTW is a pretty good example of this. He was a pretty good end boss and the neutered version of him without the permanent TOP or extra boss damage ended up being balanced enough for PvP play. Not balanced enough for tournament play because they didn't spend enough time on him to get rid of infinites and such, but enough that he could reasonably be used against a friend without a huge advantage. I'd prefer to see something like that in SvC instead of another uber boss.

Now that I think of it, wouldn't a balanced Krizalid or Igniz be a pretty cool boss? I'd love to use Krizalid against other players.

On the SNK side I'd like to see Yuga, Amakusa, Orochi (in some new form), Kriz, Igniz, or that freaky dude from Magician Lord.

Glad somebody would actually like to have a fight on their hands-_^. "Waah! Bosses are too hard! I want something easy I don't need to work hard to beat!" This kind of attitute is probably why so many games are so easy today. Anyway, the REAL reason I answered wasn't to act like an ass. ;D The Magician Lord villain's name is Gal Agiese.

Besides, if all your characters did in fighting games was fight your " rival " constantly, over and over... well, it would get pretty boring. You need some sort of villain to be doing something really evil once in a while. Also, when you get down to it, it's difficult for every character to have a definate "rival" without a lot of really specious logic going in to their rivalries (like the Mike Bison/Kim Kaphwan thing in Capcom vs. SNK 2.. what was up with that??)

i get pretty bored fighting the same evil villain constantly, over and over

also, you said it yourself. not every character has a definite rival. wouldn't it go the same for bosses? you think everyone in Street Fighter wanted Psycho Crusher Vega dead? Bison was his lackey, i'm sure he could care less about him. Blanka just wanted to eat bananas all day. i could go on but i think i've argued my point

I'm not saying rivals are a bad thing, I'm just tired of people always whining about bosses. You need SOME centralized villainy from time to time. Rivals over and over would be boring, and wouldn't change the story much from the way it currently is, for you story nazis (half of the rivalries will be incredibly forced, just look at GGXX's story mode) the bottom line is fighting games pretty much always have a good 70% of characters who really just have little to do with the central story, and there's nothing that can really be done about it. I don't mind rivals, but give me a good villain any day.

Edit: Besides, this being a "vs" game where everyone likes to brush off the storyline, why would it matter if the final boss was their " rival " anyway? I'd much rather have it end in a bang with a big dramatic boss fight rather than just fighting a character anybody and their grandmother could use.

I still think Gill and Orochi would be the perfect pair for bosses. Both are gods (well, Gill thinks he is a god anyway) and both have supers a flash of light from the sky devestates their opponent.

Hell yeah. I loved FMM. And yes, the Hornet totally rocked it. I've always hoped for a sequel... that was a very quirky, fun game. I wish I owned a copy... or bought it when the rental stores finally decided to sell it off.

There will be two bosses, an SNK boss and a Capcom boss. The SNK boss will be Kyo and the Capcom boss will be Ryu.

Now the 'interesting' twist. Depending on your fighter or team of fighters, the boss character will become 'possessed' by the 'ghost' of a past fighter. Here are the 'ghosts' that I would have:

SNK Ghosts
Ghost Geese
Ghost Rugal
Ghost Orochi
Ghost Kyo
Ghost Iori

Capcom Ghosts
Ghost Bison
Ghost Sagat
Ghost Gill
Ghost Ryu
Ghost Akuma

So this is how it works, if you have an SNK character, you will fight Ryu who is 'possessed' by an SNK Ghost. If you have a Capcom character, you will fight Kyo who is 'possessed' by a Capcom Ghost. What the ghosts essessntially do is add their specials and supers to Ryu or Kyo- thus you get some sort of weird amalgamation boss like God Rugal or Shin Akuma.

For example, Terry would fight Ryu under the possession of Geese. Imagine Ryu with ALL of his specials plus all of Geese's counters and supers. WOO HOO! I honestly don't think it would take that much effort to give Ryu and Kyo a few new animations for each of the "ghost" specials and supers. It's certainly 'cheaper' then adding entire boss characters. Besides, I don't want SNK filling up space with boring, overused, boss characters. This way, we get a 'traditional' boss but something new.

Now you may wonder, not everyone is a 'ghost.' Kyo and Ryu haven't died. We'll leave it to the writers to figure out a way to fix that. Maybe in the game, you kill your 'ghost' rival (if he's not dead already), thus giving the 'ghost' a reason to come back and get you!
