Premium members can set their own keys and controller buttons in the Visual Controller Mapper on this page.
About Sega vs Capcom: The Next Level
Sega vs Capcom: The Next Level puts two companies’ characters on one select screen. On the Sega side are Sonic, Axel Stone, Beat, Vyse and Sakura Shinguji; on the Capcom side are Ryu, X, Morrigan, Batsu and Linn — 10 fighters in all, with two more places on the select screen still marked with a question mark. You pick a team of two and fight across 8 stages: Sonic Park, Sega Arcade – Metro City, Suzaku Temple, Ecco’s Paradise, Pumpkin Graveyard, Liberty Event, Training Stage 1994 and Winter 1994.
How It Plays
Every fighter has four attack buttons — Light Punch, Heavy Punch, Light Kick and Heavy Kick — plus two of the game’s own: Tag swaps in your partner when you hold Back and press it, and Exceed spends your Exceed bar on a stronger move when you press it with a direction held. The pause menu carries a Command List with the full move list of the fighter you are playing.
Game Modes
Under Offline the main menu offers Arcade, where you battle through 8 levels and unlock character endings; Quickplay, where you pick your own team and the team the computer controls; Practice; and Watch, where the computer fights itself. Under Multiplayer, Versus puts two players against each other on one PC.
