SNK vs. Capcom Chaos [Arcade] - Mars People

This is a playthrough using Mars People in the Arcade MVS version of SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos. Read on below for more information...

Mars People is one of the six possible mid-bosses in the game. He is a hidden playable character in both the Neo-Geo MVS and AES versions of it.

===== HOW TO SELECT MARS PEOPLE =====

On the character select screen, press and hold [START] to activate the random/roulette cursor. Now input the following:

Up, Down, Right, Right, Right, Up, Down, Left, Left, Down. Now press any attack button with [START] still held down, and Mars People will be selected.

===== ABOUT MARS PEOPLE =====

Mars People originates from the game Metal Slug 2. His fighting style is unorthodox because he uses his tentacles to strike. He also uses laser guns and even calls other martians and UFOs to help him during battle. In SvC Chaos, he (or they) are planning to conquer earth.

===== ABOUT SVC CHAOS =====

SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos is basically SNK's mainstream attempt at the crossover fighting game with Capcom. It was not as popular as Capcom's two CvS games, but SvC did develop quite a significant fanbase among certain groups.

The gameplay is your typical SNK system, it is somewhat similar to KOF and is quite technical. Combos are generally hard to pull off because it requires precision and also because there generally tends to be "less possibilities" when compared to a SFA or CvS game.

Graphics-wise, I think SNK did a very job at depicting the Capcom characters in the "SNK" style, they are very detailed sprites with impressive animation... M.Bison's chipmunk face and his waving hand in his neutral stance will always be a classic. Dare I say that I would have wanted to see more Capcom characters in this SNK style.

One of the best things about this game is definitely the pre-fight character dialogue exchanges. Every character has a unique dialogue exchange with every character... they really do give you an insight into each character's personality and their relationships with each other. If you like this kind of thing, then SvC is for you.
