Man, I love this game, wish I could at least get the PS2 classics for my PS4.

If you found Geese hard, the true boss fights with Shin Akuma and God Rugal were Nightmare inducing for me. You had to finish your matches with certain requirements to get to them, getting to Shin Akuma was prepping yourself for an ass whopping but somewhat managable, but then getting to God Rugal is like you question why life hates you so, dude is obscene. It always felt like I only won a round by pure luck.

Max did a good boss video of Shin Akuma on hardest difficulty

Oh man,this is perfect.

You should've been there when it was the best fighter on xbox live. It was blanka all day, every day.

I learned to deal with him but boy was he in need of some balancing.

Geese ain't broken just super amped up like any lvl 4 ratio character. Never found him that challenging though is double wave attack was pretty much beat out by my King's double Venom strike or my Joe's double upper. Now God Rugal and Shin Akuma those were the cheapest bosses in the game. That AI was super cheap and the boost those characters get were insane. Those characters sucked in normal play. It's insane how much stronger they get asome final bosses.

Loved playing as Goosey in this game, such style. Only character more fun was Mr Moon, Joe Higashi

 

[Shadow Ranger]

Gosh God Rugal was such a giant ass. Sick tune he had though.

SNK bosses were always brutal, always.

I loved to play through the KOF games but the end bosses just devoured me and my lack of ability.

But it's not an SNK game. :V

 

[KingJ2002]

Geese is not the most broken thing in this game :V
Blanka, Cammy and Sagat, followed by A-Dictator and Sakura are a boring pain in the butt.

Art of Fighting 2 Geese is the definition of brutal.

Obligatory "Goose Howard is pretty relentless too" mention.

:jnc

Not sure how I haven't seen that before.

This isn't true man and you know it.
First we have the lazy and horrible spritework. Even in mugen we see better.
Then we have an inflaction of Wolrd Warriors. Many of you aren't with me on this, but Capcom's roster was very poor. I know World Warriors are the standard Capcom's archetipe but they could at least twist things a bit. CvS2 has got only one original SF III character (Yun), only one Darkstalker (guess who? The shoto one), only one original Alpha character (guess who? The shoto one).
Then we have some weird choice like Maki wich is basically blond Shiranuiu. Why not Guy? Did they hate him or something?
Seriously Campcom was weird in those days. In MvC2 Anakaris was a poster boy. Wtf?!
SNK roster was on spot just because it was basically KoF's roster. KoF is a crossover already so it was pretty easy to have variety.

CvS2 roster is also outdated. I mean, look at Neo Geo Battle Colliseum or MvC3. There are good characters that made the history of both company. I don't know why a dude like Haggar was ignored for so long. Maybe no sprite to recycle or maybe it was too onscure before the raising of internet. I don't know, 2001 was weird.
SNK acquired many Neo Geo franchises we all love like World Heroes or Kizuna Encounter.

Also gameplay is abit outdated. Look at SF V or KoF 13. Things are gettig more dinamyc, characters more interesting and fun to play as, without the need for MvC's craziness.

Don't forget the super lazy localisation like having Athena quote Britney Spears for... whatever reason. There was a lot of character interaction in the Japanese version as I understand. I gotta give CvS2 one thing, when I first played it, I didn't really know SNK at all at the time. I only recognized the the likes of Terry, Joe, and Mai because I had seen FF:The Motion Picture and Haohmaru because my local Round Table Pizza, the closest thing I had to an arcade, had an SS1 machine. But playing CvS2 really made me try out KoF and I've been hooked since.

Yes, it's a fantastic theme and my fav Geese theme.

So OP, if I may paraphrase, I think what you're saying is basically HEY, WHO LET THEM TO JOIN THIS TOURNAMENT? THEY'RE WAY TOO STRONG TO COMPLETE. I MEAN, WHAT'S UP WITH THAT? SOMEONE IS GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE THAT TEAM DOWN.
