You may be thinking, ‘what’s the big deal?’ And it’s true, guest characters are nothing new for fighting games. But theStreet Fighterfranchise has never ventured beyond other Capcom properties when it comes to guest inclusions.
That said, Capcom has traditionally had a great working relationship with SNK. Classics likeCapcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the MillenniumandSNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clashare beloved classics; the latter of which has recently received a fantastic port onNintendo Switch.
