"I want to make something like animal crossing"
-makes monster hunter
I guess his favorite part of animal crossing was making multiple outfits but felt that they would be better if they were made out of the villagers

[DarkMProductions]

I think what could have made this game half way decent, is if Capcom just threw every sprite they had into it (obviously excluding licensed characters), make it a 3v3, and ridiculously over the top. That way, you could at least enjoy the spectacle, and the sheer roster size.

[GenerationWest]

"Let's throw together a game with character programed move sets from other games, it'll be fine!"
It was not fine.

[raphaelcalado]

Produce the game without a proper budget.

“Yeah that make sense”

[MauZangetsu]

The funniest/saddest part about this is that even struggling to survive, SNK still made a better job at a FG IPs mugen with NeoGeo Battle Coliseum

[Rex]

This game had a playable T-Rex look-a-like and still tanked. That sort of failure takes talent.

[ShinRyojin]

This game was the beginning of Capcom’s fighting game dark age. And after hearing about the behind the scenes turmoil, it makes sense why CFE looked so lazy and half assed. No budget, no time, no corporate support, no chance in hell.

[MercuryCDX]

The last Capcom fighting game to reuse their old 2D fighting game assets and somehow Morrigan didn't make the cut.

[hellblueboy]

Imagine the alternated universe where Capcom vs SNK 3 actually came out.

[KremBotop]

Ingrid does have a really cute and charming design so a semi-positive takeaway of this is that at least she managed to be used in a few games that were actually released. Her 2 partners meanwhile remain in “character intended for a canceled game” purgatory

[TheLandofObscusion]

There was one other bit of brand new sprite work seen in CFE beyond Ingrid... Zangief's head.

No, not Zangief entirely, just his head. They literally just made a brand new head sprite, that snorts steam out of his nose, that they then simply plopped onto his SF Alpha body. What was wrong with Zangief's head that needed a brand new one to be drawn, but NOTHING ELSE?!

[nolilado]

Well this is a surprise. I remember how hyped I was for All Stars.

Anyways, SVC: Chaos needs its own Wha Happun on how broken and unbalanced it was compared to CvS.

*I hate seeing more CvS3 teases*

[DarktheHeroAxel]

The fact that this is the last notable time we've seen Red Earth characters in any meaningful capacity makes my soul hurt

[StriderRyu]

While the FGC was suffering from the “The Dark Timeline”, these games were supposed to hold the fort:

Marvel Vs.Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes
Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike
Capcom Fighting Evolution

But the end of the 90’s - Early 2000’s were rough: Companies changing, arcades dying and players’ taste evolving contributed.Also, it seems Capcom devs lacked motivation in this moment:Product was simply uninspired.

I was disappointed until Neo Geo Battle Coliseum rolled around and did it right.

[CwapPlatinum]

CONGRATULATIONS MATT.
On your birthday it's coming back.

[petconerd]

There was much potential with the “Code Holders” title, an ultimate villain threatening to destroy Metro City and Capcom heroes needing to join forces to save the innocents. I can totally see this as a 3 vs 3 battle, for in game story you come across a group of fighters who are temporarily brainwashed and that’s why you have to battle (hell that could even be how you include villain characters, they don’t care about innocents but want revenge against the guy who had taken control of them). Then imagine the teams moving through the city: Haggar, Felicia & Sakura or Ryu, J. Talbain, & Batsu. Maybe start with a small story based roster but as you play the story and beat brainwashed allies, you then unlock them so this way you’d have to play through all the various story based groups to get the full roster. Something to think about.

[suburbanflower]

I had no idea Capcom had such a rough road to from 3S to SF4. Respect

[nubeyazul]

Not to mention this was one of the few opportunities Red Earth had to appear in a console game. Wish there were a port of the arcade one or at least a better fighting crossover.

[mkayrose]

Good god, I've seen fan hacks have better quality than this game.

[prayertune]

The greatest sprite dump game disaster known to man.
