Thanks a lot for the vids, Rugal (and SNK-Capcom.com). Finally something to sink our teeth into!
Alright, we're all going to analyze this to death, so I might well get the ball rolling.
- New voices for Mai! SWEET! I can't tell how new her sprite is though. I know that Iori's is slightly updated with better colors and such (at least since KOF2k, which was the last KOF I played) from the screenshots, but even that doesn't show up in the video.
- Dhalsim and Hugo are hilarious to watch. It seems pretty clear that, just like I was saying before, the creators of this game saw it as a big, expensive in-joke. Dhalsim looks like violent silly putty and Hugo has a different silly expression on his face every time he moves.
- Damn, this game is fast. Is it me, or is this game faster than both KOF and MOTW? There doesn't seem to be much damage inflicted by hits though, which may be why we've seen so many "TIME OVER" screens.
- Yeah, okay, so it really does look like MUGEN at some points. Kyo vs. Hugo looked absolutely ridiculous. Hugo has much brighter colors and what seemed to be many more frames of animation than Kyo. It didn't even look like they were in the same game, let alone the same background with the same lighting... but who cares? They both played great. Kyo's standard moves held up well and Hugo seemed to be a mix of oddly fast moves and huge Shigen-style bash attacks.
- Portraits. Four portraits for Mai in just one intro and I know we've already seen three Iori ones in the screen shots. That's a great attention to detail, because character portraits in any game are absolutely worthless if there aren't a lot of them for different emotions. I wish Suikoden III had had that many portraits for its main characters...
- Crystal Shrine 8:48? And in two player?

Well, here's my two useless cents. ;)
The Capcom characters are very well done, especially Dhalsim and Hugo. That wiggly thing Dhalsim does with his arms after he extrends them creeps the shit out of me though.
The reused SNK sprites appear to be smoother or have some differences (i.e. Terry's neutral pose), but still feel out of place.
The select screen seems rather plain and could've used some extra pizazz. Same with the POW bars, life bars, and the text font. Not a big deal at all though.
In-game character art looks very, very nice.
I really like the sound effects. They actually sound like they're hitting a person, instead of punching through a car or sounding extremely artificial.
The music....I'm not too keen on. It appears that it uses the same sound set as KOF '01/'02, and that's not good.
The music from the Mai/Dhalsim fight is nice.
The music from the Iori/Ryu fight is okay
The music from the Kyo/Hugo fight is AWFUL.
And the music from the Terry/Vega fight is decent.
I do like the music for the select screen and the prefight bits.
Personally, they should've just hired Noise Factory to do the music and have a guaranteed quality rockin' soundtrack. After hearing the stuff they can do in Matrimelee and the other games they've taken part in (ROTD, Metal Slug 4, Sengoku 3), it seems like a huge shame that they're not being used for this game, or all recent games for that matter.
The announcer, thank god, turned out not to be like the CvS2 announcer with the constant barrage of annoying phrases. He's definetely not the best (it sounds like they just grabbed some guy off the street, gave him a 2 day course in English, and paid him to say some phrases), but he gets the job done in a somewhat amusing manner.

Indeed, I noticed that, and I really like it. The overall interface seems to be polished an clean, which is good, and the lack of modes, while might shorten the life of it, somehow simplifies the game for us, the ocassional players. The only drawback I'll mention it's that Iori and especially Mai need to be redrawn someday, their sprites are getting older (just compare Mai to Vanessa, Kula or Angel in KOF).
Overall, while I'm not interested that much in the character roster, the game looks better than I expected. Can't wait for Shiki/Tabasa videos.

OK, the videos are down because they've surpassed their bandwidth. I'll check back later when they put them back up...
so what do I think? I only got to see Iori vs. Ryu, but so far so good. It seems like the sprite of Iori is about the same size as Ryu now. Good! That's one less complaint we have to hear, if that's any indication, I'm sure the other KOF characters are fixed too.
The backgrounds are great. I LOVED the music. It reminded me of an old Kung-Fu movie, especially at the beginning when the music started. It also reminds me of Gato's stage on MotW.
The sound effects are cool too. It sounded like some movie stuff. I was thinking that they should have used the sound effects from Fatal Fury Special, but this is good enough. I didn't like Ryu's Hurricane Kick sound effect too much though (reminded me of a toilet flushing), but it's not enough to bother me.
The game was fast paced. I heard that the game was slow, either those guys REALLY know what they're doing there in that video, or they fixed up the speed of the game.
The announcer is good too. Obviously not CvS2's announcer, which wouldn't have bothered me that much, but I should have known better since that announcer doesn't fix in with the atmosphere of the game anyway.
The animation is CRAZY! I can't wait to see Hugo, Dhalsim, Terry, etc.
This game is gonna be pretty good from what I can tell.
Oh, and Iori should have gotten that Maiden Masher off, too.
