Capcom vs SNK: A New Chapter Unfolds with Street Fighter 6 Integration

With Terry Bogard and Mai stepping into the arena of Street Fighter 6, the possibility of crafting a fresh Capcom vs SNK chapter seems more probable than ever.

During the recently concluded Summer Game Fest, the spotlight for the fighting game fans shone brightly with the unveiling of four characters joining the fray in Street Fighter 6, among them, two iconic figures from SNK's renowned series, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. This introduction fuels speculation about a harmonious relationship between Capcom and SNK, a sentiment echoed by Street Fighter 6's director Takayuki Nakayama and producer Shuhei Matsumoto in a conversation we held in Los Angeles, which viewers may find in the linked video.

In the interview, buoyed by the enthusiastic response to these new characters, we broached the subject of a potential crossover project between Capcom and SNK, to which we received an optimistic response.

While initial sentiments are promising, a subsequent discussion with SNK's team at SGF revealed a playful but intriguing commentary from Yasuyuki Oda, Chief Producer for the forthcoming Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, hinting at a potential self-driven project, as noted starting from the 2:20 mark in the linked interview.

Even though these games revolve around intense combat scenarios, they play a pivotal role in creating a tight-knit and vibrant community within the fighting game realm.
