Capcom vs. SNK 2 is a sequel to the fighting game Capcom vs. SNK.

This game was released on Naomi hardware in the arcade. It was later released for the Sega Dreamcast (Japan only), PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube, and Xbox (as Capcom vs. SNK 2 EO).

Capcom vs. SNK 2 combines the best of Capcom and SNK fighting games. Six "grooves" (or fighting styles) are available in addition to a large cast of Capcom and SNK characters. The three Capcom grooves are C, A, and P and are derivatives of fighting styles from Street Fighter Alpha 3
and the Street Fighter III
series. The three SNK grooves are S, N, and K and are derived from Garou: Mark of the Wolves
, the Samurai Shodown
and King of Fighters series. It featured 15 new characters and 6 different "grooves" or Super bars, each one with unique features taken from previous fighting games of both companies gives this game high replay value.

Also features improved graphics and music.

Contrary to the previous game, characters no longer have a specific "Ratio." The player can select up to 3 characters in a team and give an amount or ratio (up to 4) to each as he/she pleases. In console versions of the game, player can choose "3 on 3" in Arcade Mode with the Ratio System removed.
