Collection: Capcom vs. SNK

Guile has a special introduction against Rugal Bernstein, where he cuts a statue of himself in half with a Sonic Boom before Rugal destroys the base with a Reppuuken. This is in reference to The King of Fighters '94, where Rugal has a statue of Guile amongst his various trophies. Given how he makes his "statues", this implies Rugal had fought Guile in their universe and used his body to create his statue.

In an interview with Polygon, Capcom's Hideaki Itsuno confirmed that a sequel to Capcom vs. SNK 2 started development shortly after work was finished on the game. Capcom vs. SNK 3 was meant to be the last 2D fighting game in the series, but along the way it ended up becoming a 3D fighting game. The project was canceled due to SNK's bankruptcy, and the remaining 3D assets from it were repurposed for another canceled 3D fighting game, Capcom Fighting All-Stars: Code Holder.
