@@fireflyhighh it's honestly a matter of favoritism by the respective artists in the game.

But then you look at characters like Ryo, and Geese, and you see that Capcom made them more expressive. I mostly think SNK likes the more quirky characters to help make them stand out.
to be precise the snke sprites are toon look , but fortunately they understood that toon look doesn't imply poor and crappy work , so at snk are really better at creating sprites
You guys clearly cant understand the quality of the Capcom sprites and how "moar details" doesnt mean better. They're sleeker and more consistent in style quality and presentation.
That sprite comes from when SNK was bought by Playmore and became SNK-Playmore. Playmore is a Korean company. Kim is a Korean character. They kept updating Kim's sprite every year to be more detailed, etc., and really focus on that character.
The details of Balrog's head movements 1:06 SNK is really a monster in sprite details. Capcom is also pretty good, despite not being as detailed I loved how Terry was in the Capcom style.
Each company made the other's character better. SNK's made Balrog look pretty smooth in his boxing stance, but Terry SNK looks way too herky-jerky. Capcom made Terry look more aesthetic
I like the asthetic of Capcom a bit more, but nobody can deny the detail of snks sprites. The work they put in was amazing, almost all the clothing has detailed movement, and even muscles like Balrogs thighs have a bit of realistic animation. It's crazy.
I think SNK was more inclined to the inspiration of Balrog's character, Mike Tyson. His movement came from the peekaboo style which Mike Tyson used IRL

Shadow Master :v Nah. That would be pretty amazing if SNK was covering up the fact that their sprites were actually pre-rendered through the years and nobody caught on. These are hand-drawn sprites.
P0RCA MAD0NNA TROIA P0RC0 DI0 SERPENTE F0TTUT0 the sprites aren’t more detailed, they’re just darker, the capcom sprites have just as much creases wrinkles and folds as the snk side just lighter, plus the idle animations somehow look more realistic than the more realistic art style.
Character sprites are debatable as they both have completely different art directions. Personally, I like some of the sprites from capcom for some of the characters, and SNK for other characters. But one thing that is not debatable is that SNK's sprites are far more animated.

It continues to amaze me how far they went to animate the characters' changing creases in the clothing for their animations. KOF XII and XIII by that respect was practically sprite porn!
What I think is amazing is that SNK sprites look wonderful with Street Fighter characters, and Capcom sprites look wonderful with The King of Fighters characters.
@@freestyle4000 Na' SNK wipes the pavement with both capcom's animation and design. Capcom was just making anime sprites with less quality in a much better hardware than SNK. Imagine what SNK could have done with that same hardware.
While Capcom has a more distinct and appealing art style, SNK's sprites are objectively better animated and more detailed. Putting THAT level of detail into an animated sprite while still retaining fluid and bouncy motion is very commendable on SNK's part
dude, i have had an endless laugh at snk guile's expense. i suspect they were just trolling; its so obvious that all they had to do was just erase his hair and make it proportional.

That's true, but bringing up proportions is not fair because there are obvious and clear art style differences. Capcom started going cartoony (a direction that never changed) since SFA, while SNK uses a more realistic style for the KOF games, and also used it in SVC
Considering SNK sprites are somewhat limited with the Neo-Geo hardware while Capcom's on NAOMI (Basically Dreamcast), both are very good, but SNK is more fluid and realistic.
guilhermevader SNK had FAR more memory to work from, and even then none of the RAM constraints. With the CPS2 origin sprites, all of it had to fit into 32MB, whereas SNK had upwards to over 100MB at the end of the NeoGeo’s lifespan. Also with the Naomi titles, RAM and ensuring that load times weren’t huge was a big factor in how they animated sprites. It’s the big reason all the characters more or less animate like they do in Alpha 3 and not Third Strike. Even past this, NOTHING SNK has animates as well, or has the dynamic gestures of either the Marvel series or the Three Series of games. The closest they ever got was Mark of the Wolves, and even that fell prey to robotic stiff animation despite the amount of frames. Also, Hugo doesn’t count for the SNK side in this comparison either. He was more or less a color modified, ratio adjusted, and traced over rip of his Third Strike sprite. And he looks WAY off and like he was supposed to be in another game compared to everyone else for that reason.
in truth every sprite from snk is better , they have more details , more frames for each animation for a better fluidity , more colors , at capcom the sprites are just cheap
Ralph Pollard The Dreamcast version of 3rd Strike has virtually all the frames of animation of the arcade version. Most complaints are on the gameplay changes. The same with SNK ports to the Dreamcast. CvS2 could certainly have the same number of frames of animation per character as 3rd Strike, Capcom just chose not to do the work. Also technically, the DC has much more and faster system RAM than the Neo Geo, although you do run into constraints with optical media vs cartridge.
Ralph Pollard That's 32 megabytes of RAM for the Naomi vs. 100 megabits (1/8 of a byte, so 22.5 megabytes) for the entire Neo Geo cartridge. The Capcom sprites aren't as well animated for no reason other than Capcom did not draw as many frames.
Design and color wise.... idk, I prefer the more realistic style, since it kinda forced SNK to well... make sprites which express its personality by its clothing, animation style or their personality in their fighting style, which capcom. But it’s a bias thing, some people prefer the more anime style or.... what would Street fighter 3 style be like? Anyways, later, they would try to pick up Capcom’s design and color by exaggerating animation and proportion or animation fluidity but eh.... example is Garou or Samurai Showdown
They have diferent art, so some might preffer the capcom art others preffer SNK. But the SNK have more frames of animation, therefore I think it is better

David Kings , that's it. It's just a matter of what sort of art you like the most. Wether you like some simpler or more exagerated it' up to you. Apart from that, I preffer the SNK only for the frames of animation. That was what I meant
Love SNK! SNK wins big time. So biased for many reasons. Especially when it comes to King of Fighters. The animation, gameplay, fun, graphics, number of characters, the list goes on. I can play Street Fighter games for 45 minutes max. I can play King of Fighters for hours.
The Capcom version of Mai Shiranui is when I began to adore Mai. She just had this really "cute" face in that iteration which I felt added a lot more to her overall design than keeping her usual "super sexy and mature" face that SNK would usually do. When she smiled during her victory poses she gained a level of adorableness to go with her general sexiness. Or at least, that is how I see it...
0:43 SNK's Terry has more grit to him. Probably just the shading but he has the back alley lighting (Ironically) "Street Fighter" Look to him. Chun Li - SNK > Capcom Mai - SNK = Capcom
capcom: +fluid and dynamic animation +appealing character design -compared to snk the average number of frames isn't too high (but this isn't 3rd strike or jojo's so yeah..) -not too detailed compared to snk snk: +very detailed characters +plenty of frames for smoothness -a little stiff on majority of their characters (maybe because of older sprites)

There are some issues regarding comparison and sprite choices for the SNK side. Just to mention one of them, it's using SVC sprites. I understand that served to broaden the range for sprite comparisons, but the "true SNK" went bankrupt in 2000, and their best work was done in the '90s. SVC was one of the first releases of the new SNK. I think it would be better to compare CVS' sprites to SNK's '90s sprites only - even at the cost of having a shorter video.
Yes. Appealing. Characters have a clear use of intentional exaggeration for the sake of expressivity. You can have a good grasp of how a character's personality is based on the build it has and the body language it presents.
Technically, Nasca(comprised of former IREM employees) developed the first 4 Metal Slug titles(1, 2, X, and 3), but I'll never deny that the sprites in those games are absolutely gorgeous.
Comprehensive list of who did it better (my opinion) with a scoring mechanism (explained): Yuri(S): Capcom Ryu(C): Tied Kyo(S): Tied Chun(C): Capcom Mai(S): Capcom Ken(C): SNK Terry(S): SNK Akuma(C): Capcom Iori(S): Tied Boxer(C): Capcom Claw(C): Tied Kim(S): SNK Guile(C): Capcom Choi(S): Tied Dan(C): Capcom Dictator(C): Tied Geese(S): SNK Dhalsim(C): SNK Ryo(S): SNK Hugo(C): SNK Haohmaru(S): Tied Nakoruru(S): Tied King(S): Tied Benimaru(S): Tied Vice(S): Tied Yamazaki(S): Tied Rock(S): Tied Joe(S): SNK Breakdown: ------------------------------------------- Ties: (S) - - - - - - - 10 (x-0.5) (-0.5 for getting tied by the other company on your own character) (C) - - - - - - - 3 (x-0.5) Total 13 ------------------------------------------- Capcom: (C) - - - - - - - 5 (x0.5) (0.5 for making your own character better than the other company, seems fair because SNK has more characters) (S) - - - - - - - 2 (x2) Total 7 Score 6.5 (- 1.5) = 4 --------------------------------------------- SNK: (S) - - - - - - - 5 (x0.5) (2 for making the other company's character better than them) (C) - - - - - - - 3(x2) Total 8 Score 8.5 (-5) = 3.5 -------------------------------------------- Although I like SNK artstyle better personally, it looks like Capcom did a better job overall. PS: I was really bored.
I expected better from them. Their recent 3D characters look childish and amateurish. They literally made Kyo look like a skinny tall 15 year old. 🤦♂️
@@leonamoonslasher7070 The characters also look like shiny silicon sex dolls and on the other 3D game they look too cartoonish. Tekken has better 3D graphics.
@@xenoidaltu601 do ever see Character KoF 2000 character select screen they all look like Anime Characters to me and those Realistic artworks on modern KoF games because shinkiro is now working for Capcom
Both are good for different reasons imo. I love SNK's shading and how smooth the anims tend to be, but I feel like some of the stances, faces, and general looks of the characters don't have as much style or personality as Capcom's. If Capcom's had similar shading and smoother animations, it'd definitely be the best out of the two for every fighter I feel.
Don't forget they're eternal friendly rivals to the very end. Seeing their work, and the many times they joined together to make stuff was always great. They're like that friend who enters your house, and eats your food after waking you up with a screeching sound.
I like the capcom versions of most characters more most of the time, but there were some stand outs on the SNK side. It's weird how usually when a capcom one was over active the snk one would be overly stiff but then when the snk one was over active the capcom one would be more stiff. And Dhalsim was just straight up dancing.
I'll admit I like the extra details and movement in the SNK sprites, but the subtle one's in Capcom's is just as appealing. (Take this one for example 3:03) (And this one 3:17)
Animations and clothing details of SNK are insane.

Shadow Master :v Nah. That would be pretty amazing if SNK was covering up the fact that their sprites were actually pre-rendered through the years and nobody caught on. These are hand-drawn sprites.
The sprites shown here were hand made. SNK only started rendering from 3D models to 2D sprites since KoF XIV.
P0RCA MAD0NNA TROIA P0RC0 DI0 SERPENTE F0TTUT0 the sprites aren’t more detailed, they’re just darker, the capcom sprites have just as much creases wrinkles and folds as the snk side just lighter, plus the idle animations somehow look more realistic than the more realistic art style.
Character sprites are debatable as they both have completely different art directions. Personally, I like some of the sprites from capcom for some of the characters, and SNK for other characters. But one thing that is not debatable is that SNK's sprites are far more animated.

@MoonScythe1 You hit the nail right on the head, I feel the same way.
It continues to amaze me how far they went to animate the characters' changing creases in the clothing for their animations. KOF XII and XIII by that respect was practically sprite porn!
To me Capcom's sprites are far more appealing to be honest.
@@PRCAMADNNATROIAPRCDISERPENTEFT How are they cheap? They give off an arcade vibe with their colorful animation, it looks good and it feels good.
Capcom: Bright and stylish, full of character
SNK: Eleventy billion frames of animation on Kim's pants
Damn, SNK Dhalsim's Animation is almost as Smooth as Kim's clothes 0-0
SNK Dhalsim's is awesome. Closer to SF2 original concept. A lesson to Capcom regarding his own char.
Kim's pants and Rock's Jacket tho... SNK PERFECTION
What I think is amazing is that SNK sprites look wonderful with Street Fighter characters, and Capcom sprites look wonderful with The King of Fighters characters.

Honestly it’s not even a contest, SNK hands down. Their animation is truly Incredible
i was about to say exact same thing but for capcom
I would have to agree. Just look at the animation on Kim's pants. So detailed, just incredible.
@@xieulong yes definitly , but overall attitude and design of capcom characters has that late 90s vibe i like while snk is more dull and retro
@@freestyle4000 Yes, I do like the look and style of the Capcom sprite more. I was just commenting on the animation though.
@@freestyle4000 Na' SNK wipes the pavement with both capcom's animation and design. Capcom was just making anime sprites with less quality in a much better hardware than SNK. Imagine what SNK could have done with that same hardware.
I love how detailed SNK's sprites are.
While Capcom has a more distinct and appealing art style, SNK's sprites are objectively better animated and more detailed. Putting THAT level of detail into an animated sprite while still retaining fluid and bouncy motion is very commendable on SNK's part
1:29 is it just me or Guile's hair in the SNK sprite is way bigger than it should be?
dude, i have had an endless laugh at snk guile's expense. i suspect they were just trolling; its so obvious that all they had to do was just erase his hair and make it proportional.
Haha SNK don't like Guile 😂🤣
To be fair, everyone's snk head is smaller
Bigger
It's big enough to be a table
SNK sprites have better proportions, better shading and more frames of animation.
ArmaBiologica35 Except Ken's head, which SNK drew too small IMO.

That's true, but bringing up proportions is not fair because there are obvious and clear art style differences. Capcom started going cartoony (a direction that never changed) since SFA, while SNK uses a more realistic style for the KOF games, and also used it in SVC
But sadly they still they don't look as appealing as capcom...
Capcom: Cartoony, lighter look
SNK: More grounded character design, more fluid animation
Capcom has more circular movement. SNK movement is more straight up and down.
1:58 Best Animation ever !
i want the 60 fps version
Kkjjjkjj
SNK is all about THAT DETAIL
Considering SNK sprites are somewhat limited with the Neo-Geo hardware while Capcom's on NAOMI (Basically Dreamcast), both are very good, but SNK is more fluid and realistic.
guilhermevader SNK had FAR more memory to work from, and even then none of the RAM constraints. With the CPS2 origin sprites, all of it had to fit into 32MB, whereas SNK had upwards to over 100MB at the end of the NeoGeo’s lifespan. Also with the Naomi titles, RAM and ensuring that load times weren’t huge was a big factor in how they animated sprites. It’s the big reason all the characters more or less animate like they do in Alpha 3 and not Third Strike.
Even past this, NOTHING SNK has animates as well, or has the dynamic gestures of either the Marvel series or the Three Series of games. The closest they ever got was Mark of the Wolves, and even that fell prey to robotic stiff animation despite the amount of frames.
Also, Hugo doesn’t count for the SNK side in this comparison either. He was more or less a color modified, ratio adjusted, and traced over rip of his Third Strike sprite. And he looks WAY off and like he was supposed to be in another game compared to everyone else for that reason.
in truth every sprite from snk is better , they have more details , more frames for each animation for a better fluidity , more colors , at capcom the sprites are just cheap
Ralph Pollard The Dreamcast version of 3rd Strike has virtually all the frames of animation of the arcade version. Most complaints are on the gameplay changes. The same with SNK ports to the Dreamcast. CvS2 could certainly have the same number of frames of animation per character as 3rd Strike, Capcom just chose not to do the work.
Also technically, the DC has much more and faster system RAM than the Neo Geo, although you do run into constraints with optical media vs cartridge.
Ralph Pollard That's 32 megabytes of RAM for the Naomi vs. 100 megabits (1/8 of a byte, so 22.5 megabytes) for the entire Neo Geo cartridge. The Capcom sprites aren't as well animated for no reason other than Capcom did not draw as many frames.
P0RCA MAD0NNA TR0IA P0RC0 DI0 SERPENTE F0TTUT0 just stop it..why do u have to appear every single comment in here
Imagine sprites with Capcom levels of design and color but SNK levels of detail and animation
Yes!
Hory sheet
So in other words, SF3 Third Strike?
@@camulodunon That’s a good example, I’d also say Martial Masters counts too
Design and color wise.... idk, I prefer the more realistic style, since it kinda forced SNK to well... make sprites which express its personality by its clothing, animation style or their personality in their fighting style, which capcom. But it’s a bias thing, some people prefer the more anime style or.... what would Street fighter 3 style be like? Anyways, later, they would try to pick up Capcom’s design and color by exaggerating animation and proportion or animation fluidity but eh.... example is Garou or Samurai Showdown

They have diferent art, so some might preffer the capcom art others preffer SNK. But the SNK have more frames of animation, therefore I think it is better

Adao Lucena. But that make look some characters a little exageratred.
David Kings , that's it. It's just a matter of what sort of art you like the most. Wether you like some simpler or more exagerated it' up to you. Apart from that, I preffer the SNK only for the frames of animation. That was what I meant

I love that all street fighter characters with the SNK style look almost exactly like they looked in Street Fighter 2
Love SNK! SNK wins big time. So biased for many reasons. Especially when it comes to King of Fighters. The animation, gameplay, fun, graphics, number of characters, the list goes on. I can play Street Fighter games for 45 minutes max. I can play King of Fighters for hours.
Same, I was playing SF 2, alpha and others, but KOF was love.
Is it just me, or do the two company's do better sprite work for the other one's characters?
Yeah, you're not the only one
I don't like SNK Ryu and Ken. They seem stiff
mostly, yes, i agree.
With exceptions. Ryu and ken, like was said, sucked, because they're too closely based on the streetfighter 2 stiff sprites.
I thought that about SNK's Bison.
Ryo... Cmon
The Capcom version of Mai Shiranui is when I began to adore Mai. She just had this really "cute" face in that iteration which I felt added a lot more to her overall design than keeping her usual "super sexy and mature" face that SNK would usually do. When she smiled during her victory poses she gained a level of adorableness to go with her general sexiness. Or at least, that is how I see it...
It's November, calm that erection.
Capcom sprites mainly rely on expressing personality through movement and body shapes.
SNK sprites put an insane amounts of details in clothes.
0:43 SNK's Terry has more grit to him.
Probably just the shading but he has the back alley lighting (Ironically) "Street Fighter" Look to him.
Chun Li - SNK > Capcom

I agree about Terry. His Capcom sprite kinda reminds me of his kof13 one.
capcom:
+fluid and dynamic animation
+appealing character design
-compared to snk the average number of frames isn't too high (but this isn't 3rd strike or jojo's so yeah..)
-not too detailed compared to snk
snk:
+very detailed characters
+plenty of frames for smoothness
-a little stiff on majority of their characters (maybe because of older sprites)

There are some issues regarding comparison and sprite choices for the SNK side. Just to mention one of them, it's using SVC sprites. I understand that served to broaden the range for sprite comparisons, but the "true SNK" went bankrupt in 2000, and their best work was done in the '90s. SVC was one of the first releases of the new SNK. I think it would be better to compare CVS' sprites to SNK's '90s sprites only - even at the cost of having a shorter video.
Appealing character design?
Yes. Appealing. Characters have a clear use of intentional exaggeration for the sake of expressivity. You can have a good grasp of how a character's personality is based on the build it has and the body language it presents.
Scissorman So, SNK doesn't have that in their sprites?

Snk got the physics edge, the movement of their clothes is just amazing.
Both are good for different reasons imo. I love SNK's shading and how smooth the anims tend to be, but I feel like some of the stances, faces, and general looks of the characters don't have as much style or personality as Capcom's. If Capcom's had similar shading and smoother animations, it'd definitely be the best out of the two for every fighter I feel.
KOF 13 sprites sound like what you are describing to me in the last sentence.
SNK wins on the clothing by far, texture and color of the different fabrics are far superior.
i love how some characters are going with the beat
SNK Dan
Don't forget they're eternal friendly rivals to the very end.
Seeing their work, and the many times they joined together to make stuff was always great.
They're like that friend who enters your house, and eats your food after waking you up with a screeching sound.
I feel SNK is more detailed on animation while Capcom is more "anime"
True .
SNK seems to have more frames of actual animation.
I kind of wish snk put as much effort into the other characters as they did with Kim's pants. Holy crap was it fluid.
That would be too much.
Seems like they did for Dhalsim
And Hugo.
I like the capcom versions of most characters more most of the time, but there were some stand outs on the SNK side. It's weird how usually when a capcom one was over active the snk one would be overly stiff but then when the snk one was over active the capcom one would be more stiff. And Dhalsim was just straight up dancing.
SNK’s spritework is second to none
