Story

"Anecdotal"
Few fighting games dare such a stance: funk, jazz and swaying grooves wrap the clashes in a hushed elegance. The themes stick to the tempo of the blows without ever saturating the ear. This stylish lightness stands apart in the genre and has lost none of its class.
Gameplay
"Masterful"
Picking among six play systems changes everything: each Groove sets its own tempo, gauges and way of approaching the duel. That richness, paired with a colossal roster and careful balance, makes for a versus fighter of rare depth that still rewards study. The high-resolution 2D has held up beautifully, and fans of technical fighting come back to it without reservation.
Fun
"From the very first seconds"
Six Grooves, over forty fighters and depth never matched since: the sequel pushes the crossover to its outer limits. The basics stay instantly playable, yet mastering the team system rewards years of practice. An absolute versus benchmark whose intensity never wavers.
Addictiveness
"Obsessive"
Choosing from six Grooves completely upends the rhythm of the fight and opens an almost bottomless field for experimentation. Tuning your team, refining a string and then attempting the next round sets up a learning loop you leave only with reluctance. The handling demands patience, but this mechanical richness remains a versus benchmark still sought after.
Complete: box, manual and disc/cart very clean. Lightly handled.

Collector interest
Capcom vs. SNK 2 Millionaire Fighting 2001 is the Japanese edition of the sequel, considered by the competitive community as one of the greatest fighting games of all time. Collector value comes from CvS2's position as the final iteration of the crossover and from the Dreamcast version sharing the NAOMI arcade base used in tournaments for years. A reference piece for 2D fighting fans.
Is Capcom vs. SNK 2 - Millionaire Fighting 2001 still worth playing in 2026?
The high point of the series, this second entry pushes the groove system to six variants drawn from the great house games of Capcom and SNK. The depth is immense, versus play rivals any major 2D fighter, and the Dreamcast version stays fluid and faithful to the Naomi board. The solo mode remains a sideshow, but for local or online duels today, few 2D fighters offer such strategic richness. A reference release to keep in any library that loves the fighting genre.
