OMG these look siiiick looks like it could be whole new street fighter WOW Capcom Vs SNK 3 should look like this
The Ken one is perfect. It really looks exactly like a KOF character would.
These look great, Snk v Capcom: Chaos flash back..

Would love SNK design w/Capcom Gameplay.. CVS3
These look sick,i never get tired of 2d sprites,thers just something about them you cant replicate with 3d,Guile looks mean!haha.People talking bout CvS3,while i would like to see that too especially with 2d hd graphics,I think CvS2 still has alot of unexplored potential to still be playing that game even now,with so many different characters to choose from and 6 different grooves,Capcom made CvS2 to last a long time.Can anybody please tell me why doesnt Eventhubs represent CvS2????WHY???????????????????????????????????????????
Wow those look awesome! Ken mustn't have been that hard to do :P And where the hell is Dan!?
but I think those look more colourful than the actual KOFKII/XIII sprites :| as I can mind seeing it and while the sprites looked visually impressive looking both standing still and in motion I did think the colours looked a little wishie washie like they've been put through a filter or something when compared back to say the old Capcom fighters like Darkstalkers, SFAlpha or SFIII and newer fighters like BlazBlue and Guilty Gear or maybe its just me.... but......
OLD SKOOL SPRITES FTW!
Capcom vs SNK 3 anyone? I can just see it now...
looks great! One of the greatest appeals to me of KOFXIII is the art work, so to see street fighters styled in the same style is great. I honestly feel that KOFXIII, in terms of 2d artwork, has one of the best graphics out of all the fighters. The coloring and shading is beautiful.
I'd kill for a new 2d street fighter like this x]
As spooky would say "super godlike" I love these :) I would love to see these in SVC3 "Snk vs Capcom" and I also wouldn't mind seeing A Capcom 2d sprite based CVS3. They can use an updated 3rd strike style because the sprite animations are still godlike to this day. Someone post these on Capcom unity and send them to atlus.
I just remembered something! I don't know if anyone saw these before?
I would say with a lot of confidence that Ken's, and Ryu's as well since all shotos are headswaps, sprites are touched up versions of SvC Chaos; however, they still look great.
It would be so awesome to me if Street Fighter 5 used sprites again. I love the SF4 series' and MVC3's art direction, but I just think drawn fighters look way better.
Sadly these sprites looks a lot better than KOF 12 or 13 and this is how they were suppose to look but thanks to NONA horrible art we got that bad sprites...
Here are some reference to NONA art style

Some of the sprites in KOF 13 are very good; however, they will never be able to replace Shinkiro.
Mexicans play KoF
ElFuerte is Mexican
Ergo I demand ElFuerte.
THIS IS WHAT SFIV SHOULD HAVE LOOKED LIKE. Instead they opted to go with the goofiest looking 3d models in history.
I recall seeing sprites like these for Shuma Gorath, I wonder if the same dude made it.
SF5 should look like this. 2D Sprites look magical.
@35 man those Shumas look nice.The main reason i didnt like SF4 was the goofy ass character models,they looked and still look really dumb to me,but hey it worked for capcom, people bought it, and thus theres the new wave of fighting games coming our way im happy for that.People asking for CvS3 should first ask for CvS2 online since that game is still really unexplored,and capcom will see how that sells in order to make CvS3,but knowing capcom theyre just gona try to water it down and make it appeal to a casual gaming audience,I say CvS2 online!
For Christs sake...
How many of you saying how 'cool' this is have actually played SvC:Chaos or even know it exists??
None; and heres why:
Firstly it came out long,long ago; before most of you knew fighting games existed (pre 2009)
Secondly, and heres the important part; it was sh!t
@40 Most people here are asking for a CvS3 not a SvC:Chaos 2 so what are you going on about? The fact that these are more like SNK sprites? It really doesn't change much of anything anyway, we all know Capcom is never going to make a new game with sprite work, excluding Megaman 2 the sequels and Phoenix Wright.
Pretending to be a cool pre-09'er must be an art...
If you can't tell the difference between these and SVC's.. Then here's why:
Firstly, you can't count pixels.
Secondly, your eyes are sh!t
You're also wrong. SvC Chaos is awesome. It is ridiculously broken and that's why it's fun.
@#40 SVC chaos was poop but that doesn't mean Snk can't make a good sequal, and if people didn't know it existed how could they mention it? Who cares if someone started playing in 09 or not? I've been playing tournament fighters for a long time but that doesn't give me the right to be an elitest. F. Champ and Wolfkrone started with vanilla Sf4 and they are some of the best in the world. Rf and itabashi zangief also started with sf4 coming from a virtual fighter backround.
Forget SF5, CVS3, and all that... Why doesn't HD Remix look this good?
Nice works. :-) I've been in love with KOF 13's (and by proxy, 12's) style for a while. Seeing the SF characters in it is pretty awesome.
Dunno why everyone wants to crap on SFIV's style though. Personally I think its well done also, despite preferring 2D sprites by a mile.
HD Remix doesn't look this good because it was drawn by Udon and had budget constraints. What's shown there are just models in 1 pose. There is no animation to them. Animating sprites like that such that they look smooth and realistic takes tons of frames and lots of man-hours.
WOW!!! LOL
@41, 42&46: Kinda hilarious that by completly misunderstanding my post in different ways you all actually validated it's point.
@43 Darkyellow, whateva floats your boat dude, you should check out clayfighter, you'll be in love!
And Nago, I know you're sorry, just don't say that again ;)
why'd they make ryu look so... asian? he's supposed to be white like in every other game, right?
@53 That's because he IS asian.He was born in Japan.
i hope capcom doesn't just rehash some bs sprites like they seem to do for every game. capcom vs snk 3 would be pretty amazing..let's hope capcom knows how to follow suit and do more of a kof style, something a bit more fluid and not as stiff and clunky as ssf4. sfxt is gonna be awesome but..i think cvs3 would be just as great ;O
SVC wasn't the best of snk games... in fact, it was the buggiest mess they ever developed. But it had an interesting cast like Zero and V. Ken and some nice character interaction. Some of their interpretations were great too, if not better (Balrog, Demitri). It just didnt play right, CvS felt more snk than this.
While a CvS3 would actually look right with the sf4 engine (compared to SFvTK at least) I'd love to see a SvC2 with the new KoF engine.
Wonders never cease with this community.
Most of you complain about the bulky SF4 models yet the sprite version you nerdgasm over? Lol
And to the genius who said SF4 sports the worse models yet, I guess you haven't played the EX series to even know what the hell you're going on about.
@49 Granted, I understand this, but let's not forget how good the sprites were on track to look when it was first announced:
@ 30 Kurow
I actually like Nona's art more than all the other artist at SNK. For me, he brought more personality to the characters than all the other artist. Though it seems many fans don't dig his style. Too bad for them haha, Im loving all the work he's been doing. His style definitely matches the charisma of the characters.

I don't see anything wrong with NONA style even in KOF 13.
Man those sprites and the sprites in the comments look too sexy. I sure would like to see a CvS3 with KOF XII and XIII artwork done by SNK as well as the exact gameplay in CvS2. It would definitely make a ton of money as well as be the only fighter I ever play.
It would also be cool to see the other SF4 characters shown in SF3 sprite form be DLC for 3rd Strike OE.
Know it won't happen but at least I can dream!
I'm digging the sprites.
I so wish there was another new capcom vs snk game.
or marvel vs snk.
or tekken vs snk.
Damn kof is dead.
These new games kof 12 was at a huge failure. Now kof13 they just added the characters missing to complete the game and the story mode needed. Kof13 is still lame -. -
Hopefully SNK stops making games like kof 12 and kof 13. Bring new mode or make a crossover.
I'd like to see Kyo vs Ryu like super street fighter 4 mode. ;D
Hopefully someday.
@69
they changed ALOT more then that. did u actaully see gameplay>?
these are basically CvS2 sprites redone except for guile is his SvC sprite and Dudley's 3S sprite.
And about NONA's art, which i think is fine, but only one thing bothers me is how it seems that most of the male cast are wearing nut hugging bell bottoms.
@portalsofmadnes
CvS2 doesn't have a guide on the site because we haven't had the time to go back and cover some of the older games properly. We still have our hands full getting up info about the current games, so back tracking and doing a good job with the older titles hasn't happened.
That said, when CvS2 news happens, you can always find it on the front page, which includes some match videos and such, along with other older Capcom titles like the Alpha series and such.
@Catalyst.cool,thank you,that explains it.Eventhubs rules!!You guys do a great job.
Damn these look awesome, and I've seen some other sprites like that on other sites as well.
SNK vs Capcom 2 would great to see, especially with the same graphics as KOF 12 and 13. However, it should be a joint project this time, because Capcom could help SNK get better.
Sprites look good. I don't get why capcom stopped doing sprites cause they definitely have more money than snkp so they could do them.
@69 You must not have played 13 if you think it is the same game as 12 just with more characters and a story. 13 uses a completely different system than 12
I'm a huge kof fan for your info.
@78 if your so easy to please go ahead and waste your money. The game is still the same. kof 13 just got new ultras and new moves and such which should off been on kof 12 in the first place.
Hopefully we'll get cvs3 ;D
That'll be awesome.
Gotta send requests to capcom to make it happen or they are making it behind everyone's eyes.
Amazing stuff! Especially Guile and Dudley - they look badass. Too bad SF4 doesn't use sprites anymore... Well, I hope Capcom will bring back sprites when SF5 comes out. If SNK can still make sprite based fighters (and they aren't super rich) then Capcom can as well. That would please many fans. I'm counting on you Capcom! Don't let us down!
The sprites look lovely.
**waits for people to start whining about SF4's graphics**
