Gameplay
The gameplay is now in 2.5D, similar to Street Fighter IV and The King of Fighters XIV. The game retains the three button usage. Neo Climax/Ultra Combos moves require the player to take damage before being put into use. Filling both the Super and Ultra Combo gauges will allow the usage of powerful Crossover Combos. When certain teams are in play, unique Crossover Combos can be activated. When unlocking characters, players must fulfill conditions, then fight them ala Super Smash Bros. and win. Giant characters are restricted to a one-man team but are powerful.

Trivia

 * Unlike SVC Chaos: SNK vs. Capcom, Zero now uses his Mega Man X design.
 * Chang now fights alone
