Capcom Vs. What?

This is hilarious. SPEED RACER VS. RYU. WHO WILL WIN!?

[Tivor]

CASSHERN!!!! GATCHAMAN!!!!! ROY FOCKER!!!!!!

I'm approving this crossover! :D

(They better have Roy Focker in the game if they're gonna have Macross. Chun-Li vs Minmay would be awesome too. :mrgreen:)



EDIT:

Found a bigger pic of the magazine.

I'd play that. I saw the movie Casshern when I was 10 and I vaguely remember liking it.

[Chronis]

I predict landslide victories by the anime guys! *sigh* They never lose...

[allie_razakel]

LOL. I'd like to see Speed Racer VS any one of the Capcom characters.
XDDDDDD LOL.


But hmm...Dante's a Capcom character, no? Why can't he be included in these games? I think he'd be a nice fighting char (though he reminds me of Gambit from the Marvel VS Capcom games. Cocky).

[SlaughterX]

I guess they couldn't let Midway beat them with stupid cross over game of the year... Anyway I will still probably buy it when it's released on consoles as long as it's not as bad as CFE.

The kotaku blurb was kind of poorly written.

Screw Roy. Kakizaki is where it is at.

Goddammit, now I want to watch Robotech.

[Kakizaki]

bleh, just watch SDF Macross instead.

I'm fond of Robotech though >_>

The top left screenshot on the right page seems to suggest that Megaman characters will be in this game.

And thus, I have to buy it.

I hate Capcom for mocking me and referencing MM Legends ;o;

Maybe it's a list ditch effort to save MM?

Megaman Zero and Megaman ZX say you're wrong. The Battle Network series is actually pretty good too, as long as you don't go in expecting 2D platforming action.

And besides, the picture displays the Bonne Family crest on what looks to be Teisel's ship, which means they're using Megaman Legend designs, which mean it's going to be AWESOME.

[SlaughterX]

Screens (http://www.famitsu.com/game/news/1215298_1124.html), 2.5 confirmed (and it looks better than SF4).

[Sseklebeast]

Ollie Barder points out: "Robotech isn't owned by Tatsunoko, and Macross has very complicated rights issues (even in Japan) so it's unlikely the Capcom game would feature it. This is a helpful list."

This makes me very sad :(

Here is the list from the quote - http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/company.php?id=286

[Kakizaki]

^That is why I was implying it was a poorly written blurb.

[Sseklebeast]

Woops I missed that I guess. Sorry

[Kakizaki]

^No problem. I didn't really come out and say it anyway. I just kind of assumed people who were into Macross might understand.

[Dual]

Megaman Zero and Megaman ZX say you're wrong. The Battle Network series is actually pretty good too, as long as you don't go in expecting 2D platforming action.

The Zero series was good, I'll admit it, and I liked the first ZX more than any of the Zero games (which is quite a damn bit), but the second ZX was just garbage and probably isn't going to get a sequel due to the likely "meh" sales. They said there wouldn't be a sequel unless it topped 100,000, if I remember correctly.

Advent had a neat story and some voice acting with effort in it, and I'll give it credit for that, but the level design was horrendous (they did fix the map, at least) and the general gameplay was just bad, plus the fetch quests have gotten really old. Transforming into the non biometal bosses was a nearly useless gimmick that was only implemented when crossing an otherwise uncrossable area or solving a puzzle and using the boss sprites for the biometal forms just seemed lazy. Also, a limit on how many charged shots you get in a period of time with the ZX form? What the hell?

Anyway, the ZX series looks like it's going to be dead for a while and all we're left with is Star Force where Mega Man is a prepubescent boy who fuses with an alien rock and battles on the (not) internet. I quit Battle Network at 5 because it just got old (which would be fine if they were short bursts of action and not long, drawn out RPG-esque games). Mega Man just isn't Mega Man anymore and what's left isn't all that fun, too.

That said, I'd pee myself and eat my words if they announced a Legends 3 (not that ####ty cell phone game), Powered Up 2, Maverick Hunter X 2, or Mega Man 9 (or & Forte/Bass 2, not counting the WonderSwan game). I'm just saying, right now, Mega Man isn't all that much to be excited about.

Sorry for the rant, it's been a tough battle giving up faith in the little blue guy, for me lol.

And besides, the picture displays the Bonne Family crest on what looks to be Teisel's ship, which means they're using Megaman Legend designs, which mean it's going to be AWESOME.

I thought it looked like the train from Mega Man Legends 2, not the ship. I could be wrong though. I loved Legends, but throwing in a stage background is hardly ground to purchase the game on.

[DamnedToBeFree]

MegaMan was only good during his NES/SNES days.

[Gen Eric Gui]

MegaMan was only good during his NES/SNES days.

Let's just say I heavily disagree and leave it at that.



I loved Legends, but throwing in a stage background is hardly ground to purchase the game on.

Well, I'm assuming that if there's a Megaman stage, there are going to be Megaman characters, which I will want to play as in a proper not-broken-as-all-hell game.

Of course, MM isn't the only reason I'm excited for this. This is also Capcom's first chance to put a lot of different characters into a VS. game, like Dante, Gene, Viewtiful Joe, and many others. Most of them may be unrealistic expectations, but for now I'm going to hold out hope taht we'll see some of them.

Plus, G-FORCE AND SPEED RACER HELL YEAH.[/code]

[Dual]

MegaMan was only good during his NES/SNES days.

I disagree with this too. X4, both Legends games, and both of the PSP games were ####ing great (Mega Man Powered Up has been my all-time favorite game ever since I first bought it). There were some other good ones, too. It's just that such a flood of battle titles happened around then you've got to pan a bit to find the good stuff.

I could care less about Viewtiful Joe (I seriously can't understand why people liked VJ so much), Gene would be extremely badass and Dante would be fairly cool to see, though. I strongly doubt we'll see Gene, unfortunately, God Hand didn't do so well (which sucks because that game was excellent). Then again, neither did Cyberbots and we got old what's his face in MvC and what's her face in Puzzle Fighter.

[Saishu]

I would have no problem if Maverick Hunter X2 never showed up. X is my favorite Megaman game and they re-worked the story to make X and Zero seem weak. That and the new voices and personalities were obnoxious.

Back to the game topic, if a home version is released for PS3 then this would be the perfect import. I mean, in all of Capcom's past VS. games the "stories" have been minimal and they've never translated the in-game speech.

[unknown]

What's the problem with them being weak?

And the re-worked story actually made some sense this time around, the voices were a lot more decent then what was found in X4.

Maverick Hunter X2 would be awesome...I demand the Green Biker Dude to be a playable character

He was a hero of epic proportion :'(

[Saishu]

Every reploid was designed based on X. X is the original and he has proven himself to be superior to his "offspring" but that whole concept has been scrapped with each successive game. I hate it whenever they call X a Reploid.

Zero was also a badass, but what happened in Day of Sigma? He got knocked out or something.

The whole Maverick virus idea was erased but that's not too much of a problem when you consider that Reploids are supposed to have the same mental capacity as humans. Them rebelling against humans because they feel like it isn't too much of a stretch.

[Dual]

Mega Man's story has been retconned so many times in so many places that it's gotten to the point where it's pointless to debate about it (there's some book that was only released in Japan that details most of the story and overwrites so many things, there's a translation on more than one fansite out there). Starting over completely fresh with Maverick Hunter X won some points in my book for actually having a decent take on the story.

[Tivor]

Stupid Kotaku article. I thought it meant the original Japanese article said Macross would be in the game. Stupid writers. (And stupid wishful thinking on my part too. >_>)

[SlaughterX]

Video (http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/19845), classic vs. game play!

If this doesn't get a domestic release this looks like the first import PS3 game I will buy (unless the 360 version is regionf ree). I just hope they don't charge over $60 for it...

[EvilHero]

I don't see this getting a domestic release, what with the licensing issues and all.

Seeing the gameplay video, it reminds me alot of MvC, I just hope it doesn't become an unbalanced button mash fest like MvC was.

[SlaughterX]

Fixed. MvC1 didn't go "BLAM BLAM BLAM VIPER BEAM VIPER BEAM VIPER BEAM HYPER VIPER BEAM HYPER VIPER BEAM!", which 2 did.

Anyway, going back on topic, I'd like to see some more Rival Schools characters--specifically Shoma and Natsu. They consist of my fave team in RS.

[EvilHero]

^ Yeah, I was referring to MVC2 in the first place.

I don't think their was ever a huge scene for the first MVC.

Capcom needs to be careful when they design the Tatsunoko characters, i'd actually like to see the capcom characters be useful for a change (aside from Tron and Strider.)

[CSXLoser]

oh man rival school characters are in it too!!!? ...man brings back memories

Didn't Capcom say that they'll be releasing only multi-platform games from now on? Maybe it'll hit up the PS3 and 360 as well.

[SlaughterX]

Yeah that's what they said, but they could just be full of #### liek always. Anyway I'm still hoping for a 360/PS3 release...

I hope PS3, I want to import this if it doesn't come to the US.

Also Karas (http://videogamerx.gamedonga.co.kr/zbxe/news_user_gamenews/984681) will be in the game... THAT I NO LONGER CARE ABOUT!

WII EXCLUSIVE CONFIRMED!!! December 11 2008

http://jun.2chan.net/31/res/1080459.htm

[Gen Eric Gui]

"This game is going to be awesome! The concept is amazing, the characters are great, and the combat system looks pretty good!"

"It's going to be on system X."

"SCREW THAT GAME WHAT A TERRIBLE GAME IDEA I HATE IT"




I don't care what system it's going to be on, as long as I can play it at home in some fashion.

[sdragon21]

Thank god it's coming to wii. I'll finally have another fighter to play besides guilty gear. Now all that's left is the conformation of a US Release.

[SlaughterX]

I hope you guys have an extra $350 laying around to import a Wii.

[Sei]

Awesome! I wan't this game even more now!. I just wish the Wii wasn't region locked, but I guess not every console can be as awesome as the PS3.

Fingers crossed for it making it!. Or for a PS3 port, that would save the need for a 350 japanese system.

[Saishu]

I hope you guys have an extra $350 laying around to import a Wii.
I was just about to say time to buy a Wii ;_;

[Gen Eric Gui]

As much as I hate to admit it, if there's a Wii version you can bet on there being a PS2 version too.

And don't both systems have ways of playing import games on them anyway? I know the PS2 is pretty easy to mod, but SOMEBODY has to have figured out a way to get past that silly Wii region lock by now.

I've played it a couple times on the Wii, I always had a feeling it was going to go Stateside, thats why I never purchased it.

I'm not really that big into crossover fighting games. Its usually a balancing issue with me.

[sfried]

It's cool to be a Nintendo-hater
Just keep telling yourself that...

[Foobar]

I sit patiently in wait for Capcom to wise up and finally do a Marvel Vs. DC Universe game. I know its the licensing issues keeping it from happening, but still, if there was ever an obvious fighting game to make after all the Street Fighter Vs. X-Men, Marve Super Heroes and Marvel Vs. Capcom games...

Heck, toss in some Capcom and SNK characters in it, I won't mind. I just want to see Batman kicking all their butts.

Sfried, just because someone doesn't like the Wii doesn't mean you can try to start an argument and #### all over this thread.
I'm sorry, but I'm not the person who started this argument. It's clear that this was a Wii game built from the ground up. It's like complaining why Metal Gear Solid 4 won't come to consoles other than PS3 and Dead Rising...oh wait.

Still, it's a pretty useless excuse given the amount of Wii-bashing these forums have. People should be happy that a game that virtually had zero chances of being localized got worked over in order to bring it here. Same thing goes for Sakura Wars: while the installment they're giving us might be the worst in the series, people are just damn happy it finally arrived after 11 years.

I'd rather people start counting their blessings than have them just trolling threads saying how much they hate Console X for having it.

[SlaughterX]

I don't hate the Wii for getting this game, I hate the Wii for various other reasons, one of which is the fact that I would have to buy two more arcade sticks just to play this game comfortably, and the fact that online on the system sucks. This game could be easily ported to either of the other 2 systems out, and I will wait for that to happen or I won't bother.

[sfried]

This game could be easily ported to either of the other 2 systems out, and I will wait for that to happen or I won't bother.
When I said "built from the ground up" for Wii, that wasn't without reason: GC/Wii hardware has a vastly different architecture from PS3/XB360, and thus a port wouldn't seem to be economical. Given the fact that they somehow manage to get arround the license issues, it would definately be alot harder to look for a developer who can port the game without managing to make it play like the Wii version.

In the end, it would be too much hassle to bringing it out on two other systems. There's no reason why this game shouldn't garner some attention, though. Imagine all of the other crossover game genres other publishers can work out (i.e. Atlus and Super Robot Taisen featuring mecha from licensed shows). Besides, people have been able to play this with just the regular Classic controller or their favorite stick using console-to-GameCube converters (which work perfectly fine). I don't see why Wii desevres so much hate.

[Tatsuya Suou]

Got some new information from my sauces to post here. But before I do that I want to address some things. First off all, why in the hell are people still hating the Wii. Granted I know that it is lacking in very good games in comparison to the other two, but as far as cost of the Wii will have a hard time buying a PS3 or 360. The Wii is still the least expensive of the three as far as I know. When it comes to having good games for it, I can related that the Wii is lacking. I personally have a small inventory of Wii games, not including the VC ones. Hopefully there will be more games for the Wii that is worth buying. One genre in particular that is small for the Wii is fighting games. Not counting VC, only a few fighting games exist on the Wii and only fewer of them do not use the "wag gimmick" or are ports from other systems. The ones that are well known are Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Punch-Out!!(witch is almost here). Like I said almost everything else uses the wiimote wag gimmick or are ports.(ex. King of fighters and Guilty Gear)

Now onto the ones who ask for a new Marvel vs Capcom. This is only my opinion and this reflects to the many other forums that talk about it. I honestly think that it is impossible to make a Marvel vs Capcom. Capcom wouldn’t mind doing it for the profit and for the fans, (but mostly for the profit) but Marvel is a different story. Now don't quote me on this but from what I hear is that Marvel wanted even more money than Capcom when it comes to licensing their characters. And there is another reason that I think this is impossible; it is the shift between the Marvel of 90's and the Marvel of 00's. Keep in mind that all of the Marvel games that were made by Capcom are based mostly on the Marvel comics and cartoons of the 90's and these are before the vs series. (X-men: Children of the Atom and Marvel Superheroes is a good example) And for the vs games had voice samples from cast of the 90's cartoon. Now imagine if they were to use the X-men from evolution and wolverine and the x-men, not so great is it. Marvel has changed in 00's. It would be too hard to find a cast of Marvel characters that can match or surpass the ones in the previous games. And like I said, Capcom based the vs Marvel games mostly on the cartoons that were out at the time. If it would work I can guarantee it will be a completely different game. That is why in a way I am glad that they started with a new company because for those who don't know, Tatsunoko is the Marvel of Japan. And as far as Capcom is considered, this is still part of the vs series, as shown in the vid digest below.

Now for the updates, I have below the pages from the Nintendo Power article. The first thing is that the game will now be called: Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars. Another notable thing is that the US version my have online play unlike the import. I hope that they will announce the Arcade stick (http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/7273/stick1024.jpg) to come with the game. One more thing worth noticing is the possibility of US exclusive characters. I personally hope for Capcom they will have this Bad ass mofo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1-EfQ7ELqo&feature=related) and for Tatsunoko I hope they include a little show from my childhood (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXiJYcK4-GU). I also have this for those are confused with the cast that is with Capcom. From the many forums that I have been on and all the commits that talk about this game always say the same thing: "what the heck is Tatsunoko?" It is understandable because it is a Japanese’s company with characters many never seen before. But I feel that those who have even a small history of great Acton cartoons that are on in the past would know some of the cast. One show I know most would know is Gatchaman. (aka G-force, aka battle of the planets) Because Gatchaman is one of the mane names of Tatsunoko, it makes sense that Ken the eagle is sided next to Capcom poster boy Ryu. Gatchaman as well as a few others have upgraded versions for a newer audience, and there are some upgrades that are brand new. I have below vidos of both capcom and Tatsunoko, it shows each footage and gameplay of both teams. (And a funny dubbed Tatsunoko special) A quick note on Tekkaman Blade; the game's Tekkaman is the original space knight, and the one I posted is its improved mecha upgrade that is known by many robot fans.

Now that is what I have on the updates. Now I agree to the post above, we should be great full for something that seamed impossible to come over the states. It doesn’t matter what console it is on, I am happy to see this come over here. Even though it would require the arcade stick or classic controller and the online for the Wii is the worst of the three, this game is still worth owning a Wii.(I do hope that a classic controller is included for the game like Wii Play) Like I said this opens the door to many possibilities for games that has licensed issues. (like SRW) Can't wait for this, all that is left is the release date that is said to be here before the end of the year. See ya!

Stop arguing.

Day one whenever I get a Wii.

[Yet Another Tim]

The name change is FAIL. Since Marvel VS Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes, it has become a tradition for a VS series game (not involving SNK and then-Namco) that has "Capcom" as the 3rd word of the title contains a subtitle that ends with the word "Heroes."

Marvel VS Capcom: Clash of Super HEROES
Marvel VS Capcom 2: New Age of HEROES
Tatsunoko VS Capcom: Cross Generation of HEROES

[EvilHero]

Random observation, looks like they changed the health and super meter bars for the U.S version.

Hopefully they make some other small changes (ex. Unmegacrashable Ground Infintes) to help balance the game more.

In regards to people complaining about this being on the Wii. Alot of people complain the Wii doesn't have alot of unique titles, now that the Wii is getting something, people complain that its not on the other consoles.

I'm glad this is on the Wii, it could really use its own Fighting game (SSBM doesn't count.)

As far as controls go. Its not that hard playing this on a GC controller since they kind of designed it with Wii controls in mind. Either that or you could just get some Wii adapters.

I don't know, I think Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars isn't bad. My guess for the name change is the hope of US exclusives like new characters, better balance and online play.

:agree: QFT. The Wii is a good console but the lack of games for it is it's one weakness. I for one can say that I can count the number of Wii games I own with one hand. I also like that this is on the Wii and would like to see more games that for now are Japan only. (I’m hearing No More Heroes 2 is looking like it isn't coming over here, so I hope that changes) I forgot about the Wii adapters, it is ideal if ones complaint is the controls. So for the sake of all of us and this thread, no more complaining for it being Wii only please.

Oh, like Roll's Ground Sweeping infinite, lol.

[Tatsuya Suou]

Looks like it is now official by capcom. This is one of the two mystery games they will reveal at E3.

http://www.capcom-unity.com/kramez/blog/2009/05/18/capcom_e3_mystery_game_1_revealed_in_july_nintendo _power

And a little note that it's coming to Europe as well. (http://capcom-europe.com/forum/showpost.php?p=189281&postcount=6)

As a matter of fact, Megaman (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-Tqm7yThFg&feature=related) and Morrigan (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DwESgDczeo&feature=related) are no better. But the game is still going be awesome with or without the tweaks. If this combo vid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrEs2Z3sd3k&feature=related) is any indication, then this will be a good addition to the Wii library.

[Tatsuya Suou]

Oh, OH I get it now, silly me. Anyway I have a philosophy that no mater how sucky the character is in a fighting game is, they can still be good if used right. (Dan taught me that) Anyway I got confirmation that the infinite will be fixed in the US version here (http://www.capcom-unity.com/ask_capcom/go/thread/view/7371/14638398/Will_the_RollDaimaou_glitch_be_taken_out_of_the_US PAL_versions_of_Tastunoko_vs_Capcom&post_num=2#293388161). So hopefully they will balance roll so she won't be as bad as the LOL Roll in you're vid. Regardless of how she is fixed I’ll still love her for her theme alone. Can't wait to start hearing Kaze yo Tsutaete ver.2.0 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63wcuV9d-ms&feature=related) on my Wii.

[Yet Another Tim]

The funny part is, the reason why I immediately picked Yatterman-1 and Tekkaman as my first-ever all-Tatsunoko team is because of "YATTA! YATTA! YATTA! YATTA! YATTAMAN!" ear worm, along with the "SPACE LANCE!" meme.

Shameless, I know. Efficient? Hell yeah!

Also, Roll/Megaman Trigger, solely to taunt other players, "YOU GOT YOUR ASS KICKED BY A LITTLE GIRL!" x3

My recent TvC projects consist of:

--an all-demon team, Soki (Blue Oni)/Morrigan (succubus). I did practice with this team, and boy, Yami just handed my ass.
--Casshern/Doronjo, team assist spam.
--Megaman Trigger/Batsu, who vaguely remind me of my Megaman classic/Ryu team in Clash of Super Heroes
--2/5 of the Gatchaman team (Ken the Eagle/Jun the Swan)

...all to beat this one eunuch for a player, whom I beat only once, with Ken/Jun. He gives me the impression that he's overcompensating in TvC because he couldn't get a girlfriend, seeing how he exclusively uses any two of the following 3: Chun-Li/Morrigan/Jun the Swan.

Also, I'm curious about your teams and how you formed them.

[Tatsuya Suou]

Since I didn't import it, I don't have a team I would use yet. But for my first-ever all-Tatsunoko team, it would be either Gatchaman and Casshern, or Casshern and Yatterman-1. Casshern was one of my favorite Tatsunoko characters ever since the OVA and I am curious on how Yatterman-1 plays like.

That is always the thing I love to do when beating someone with DAN as well. Like I said, since her infinite is going to be fixed, I would hope they make her a little better without it. Plus because I am a true Megaman fan, I would probably play Trigger as one of my first Capcom characters.

I have found today the Gamespot Tatsunoko VS. Capcom - Seth Killian Interview (http://www.gamespot.com/wii/action/tatsunokovscapcom/video/6210342)and the direct feed video (http://protodudesrockmancorner.blogspot.com/2009/05/tatsunoko-vs-capcom-seth-killian.html) of the US build on my Rockman/Megaman sources, Protodude’s Rockman Corner. I also found one more vid on gamespot here (http://www.gamespot.com/wii/action/tatsunokovscapcom/video/6210356/tatsunoko-vs-capcom-ryu-and-chun-li-v-ken-the-eagle-and-tekkaman-gameplay-movie).

Can't wait to play it and set up some good teams.

[Yet Another Tim]

Guys, I'm wondering right now:

Who would you rather have your ass kicked by:

A. A little girl? (Roll)
B. A giant robot? (PTX-40A or Gold Lightan)

[kyle82]

fantastic four.. the elements that these four combine are the most powerful combinations ever made.. with this stuff.. they can turn any matter existing in the planet earth may they be composed of rock or any elements.. lol. :D

Save that for Marvel VS Capcom 3, Kyle. <_<

Going back on topic, bad news, guys.

http://nintendo.joystiq.com/2009/05/29/tatsunoko-vs-capcom-roster-may-change-for-north-american-releas/1#c19112307

[Tatsuya Suou]

So there is one more issue for capcom to achieve. When I think about it the only licensed character I can think of (and it makes sense) is Hurricane Polymar. Even though it is only the OVA and on VHS only, Hurricane Polymar is licensed by Urban Vision; the company who brought Vampire Hunter D and New Gatchaman. As I said on my theory on how atlus can get non-SRW games to the US (http://www.atlus.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6&page=45), I still don't know if the company is still around. But this is the most likely thing that is happening, a shame too because in this page of the Nintendo power article here it shows Hurricane Polymar in the US version. The only other character I can think of is Yatterman.


You know I hope this gets resolved soon. One of the things I frown most on is when a US version of a game removes content from the Japanese version.
I really am not going to like it if they will have to start removing characters.
Please Capcom, don't make me lose faith in you.

[Yet Another Tim]

Upon hearing that this would be localized, I immediately said to myself, "Tatsunoko VS Capcom got me sold on a Wii."

Now, courtesy of this debacle, I can see myself, calling off, buying a Wii.

[Tatsuya Suou]

You know I would wait until I here more about this. I bought a Wii on the rare occasion of a good game like this to come out. I hope that capcom will figure it out soon.

[Tatsuya Suou]

I just saw the E3 trailer over GT here (http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-09-tatsunoko-vs/49941?type=flv) and I figure out whom they are going to remove in the US roster. If you look at the characters that are shown you could see almost all the characters on both sides. (thank goodness I was wrong about Hurricane Polymar and Yatterman) The character that will be removed is wii exclusive "Hakushon Daimaō". So far he is the only one that isn't in the trailer. Now here is the interesting part, they were talking about fixing the roll Infinite (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeD_zu7wEkg&feature=related) that ONLY works on Hakushon Daimaō. So to make things easier, they removed him in it. (I am only guessing from what I saw on the taller) The only thing I don't get is that "The Genie Family” which is the anime he is on is not licensed by any company. Guess will find out if I'm right and if they will replace him with a US exclusive character.

EDIT: Just found out here (http://protodudesrockmancorner.blogspot.com/2009/06/tatsunoko-vs-capcom-press-release.html) that it will have online play. :D

[Tatsuya Suou]

Another official link here (http://capcom.gamespress.com/link.asp?i=145&r=6280&r2=4141) and it looks like my guess was right. But check this out. Aside form Online, they’re will be three new characters that isn’t in the import. I don' know Hakushon Daimaō, but I know some will be disappointed about him being cut. But we will be getting new characters as a consolation so it is cool to me.

[Gen Eric Gui]

I don't really think anybody will miss Daimyo. I am very eager to find out who the new characters are going to be, though.

[Yet Another Tim]

As long as Capcom USA keeps the "Cross Generation of Heroes" subtitle in US/Euro-specs, consider me sold.

Oh, yesterday, I FINALLY beat Yami with 2 other demons: Soki and Morrigan.

I find it rather ironic that Daimou (sp?) nearly screwed it up.

PS: MACH-A-GO-GO x3!

[Tatsuya Suou]

I don't really think anybody will miss Daimyo. I am very eager to find out who the new characters are going to be, though.

Same here, I wouldn't mind seeing Strider Hiryu or samui pizza cats as the new charaters.

Oh and Yet Another Tim how difficult is Yami?

Oh and Yet Another Tim how difficult is Yami?

Overall, more challenging that Onslaught in Clash of Super Heroes.

Specifically for Soki/Morrigan, Yami ass pulled 7x overall, before I finally beat him in the 8th.
(Yatterman-1 just rapes Yami, though, in all forms!)

[Tatsuya Suou]

So he is a similar to abyss from MVC 2 than. And I want to correct my commit. I said that there will be three new characters, but since only Daimaō is getting cut and they said 26 characters than that means it will be five new characters and not three. Even better, online play+5 US exclusives= So much Win.

[Yet Another Tim]

Tatsuya, here are my predictions of the 3 US-exclusive Tatsunoko characters:

1. Speed Racer (popular demand; America's gateway to Tatsunoko, and anime overall)
2. Samurai Pizza Cats (nostalgia... in America!)
3. Condor Joe (for the sake of Estrogen Brigade Bait, http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EstrogenBrigadeBait )

...while for the Capcom side, I find it rather hard to predict, but I'll pair them, according to my tastes:

1. Strider Hiryu/Jotaro Kujo -- both are originally from their own respective manga series.
2. Jin Saotome (Cyberbots: Full Metal Madness)/Tessa (Red Earth) -- more appearances, the better.
3. Charlie/Guile -- ho yay for the ladies.

Notes:

Strider Hiryu has his own manga series.
Jotaro Kujo is from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, as Capcom made a fighting game from it.

[Saburo Hikari]

I'm still intruiged by what strings they pulled to get this done.

[SickleCellAnemia]

I don't really think anybody will miss Daimyo
The only really useful thing about Hakushon Daimou is getting supers guaranteed from his 236 super through a Delayed-Hyper Combo(since it dizzies the opponent).

EDIT: AND making brownies.

[Gen Eric Gui]

@Tatsuya: The ONLY character that has a difficult time with Yami is Gold Lightan. He is piss easy with every other character; although he is easier with certain characters(In particular: Yatterman, Rock, Ryu, and Alex tend to have the easiest time)

Tatsuya, here are my predictions of the 3 US-exclusive Tatsunoko characters:

1. Speed Racer (popular demand; America's gateway to Tatsunoko, and anime overall)
2. Samurai Pizza Cats (nostalgia... in America!)
3. Condor Joe (for the sake of Estrogen Brigade Bait, http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EstrogenBrigadeBait )

3. Charlie/Guile -- ho yay for the ladies.

Notes:

Strider Hiryu has his own manga series.
Jotaro Kujo is from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, as Capcom made a fighting game from it.


...Are you seriously thinking that Jojo has a chance of making it into the game? You...do realize he isn't a Capcom character, right? He's owned by two other companies that Capcom would have to buy rights from to use him, and he'd absolutely shatter the idea that this is "Capcom" versus "Tatsunoko". Thinking he has a chance is like thinking that Link has a chance because Capcom made the Gameboy Zelda games, or that EVA-01 might be in because Tatsunoko did the animation for the show.

Charlie and Guile won't be in in a million years because they've already got three SF reps and one from each generation. This same premise goes for Joe the Condor, they've already got two reps from Gatchaman, they don't need any more. MAYBE they could use one of the villains, but even that's getting sketchy.

And I really don't see why everyone expects to see Samurai Pizza Cats or Speed Racer in the game. Speed doesn't even work as a fighting game character and SPC isn't as popular as people seem to think it is.



If anything, I'd expect to possibly see characters that already made cameos in the game like Arthur or characters that keep with the theme of dead franchises like Captain Commando or Super Joe.

[nbinney]

The store I used to work at imported this a while ago, it's alot of fun but most of the Tatsunoko characters have never been seen in America before.

I hope this doesn't scare people away, especially when one of the characters is A GIANT ROBOT THAT TRANSFORMS INTO A CIGARETTE LIGHTER

[sdragon21]

There's only 2 characters that i want in this game:Felicia and Charlie. As long as i get those in the game, i'll be one happy fan.:tongue:

[nicolas207]

I cant wait for this game, The american wii never gets the cool games:very_sad:

[sfried]

I cant wait for this game, The american wii never gets the cool games:very_sad:This 3rd and 4th quarter looks really good thanks to XSEED/Atlus/Ignition/Capcom.

I didn't know Soul Taker was Tatsunoko property. What would a Akio Watanabe-designed, Shinkiro-shaded character look like?

[Steel Greyfalke]

if this is succsessful in the U.S., Who Do you think they'll put if a sequel was possible, Tekkaman Blade? Ippatsuman?, Mospeada? (alli neeed to do is to snag a Wii Gufufufufufu!!)

Ippatsuman is already in it.

[Yet Another Tim]

At the end of the day, I realized something:

I now care less about the subtitle change, since the core game (arcade roster is intact) is arcade-perfect.

[Steel Greyfalke]

thank you so much i diddnt know that now, well any other ideas?

[Juanblue85]

You I'm glad they removed the genie dude he looked retarted and out of place hopefully the five new characters will be good choices. Leon you better be in there.

[Yet Another Tim]

Guys, my local Gamestop told me earlier today that TvC is now available for pre-order.

Heck, as I made this post, even the site is making it available.

http://www.gamestop.com/browse/search.aspx?N=0&Ntk=TitleKeyword&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Ntt=tatsunoko%20vs%20capcom

[Steel Greyfalke]

Im So ready for this !!

[SlaughterX]

Looks like MadCatz (http://forums.shoryuken.com/showpost.php?p=6839045&postcount=19048) is going to be releasing a Wii stick for this game.

[Tatsuya Suou]

Speaking of the Wii stick, I have another video of the US version here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPmTWxwPqfc&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fprotodudesrockmancorner%2Eblogsp ot%2Ecom%2F&feature=player_embedded) and it happens to show of the sticks briefly.

And here is my response on you're list, Yet Another Tim. I'll start with you're Tatsunoko characters, First and foremost I'll will have to say that Condor Joe is not needed in the game. (sorry fangirls) There are already two Gatchaman characters in the game that balance each other we'll, or so I'm told. (however it will contradict with one charter I have in mind for Capcom) Samurai Pizza Cats is one I can agree on, you are right that it is true nostalgia in America. I don't think it is that known in Japan, which is why I think it wasn't in the original cast. Lastly is Speed racer, this one is important for those who still don't know what the hell Tatsunoko is. There is someone else who said that Speed Racer wouldn’t work due that he is a not meant to work in a fighting game. The same can be said about this man (http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/8117/captainfalconnintendofz.jpg) and look how that turned out. But I shouldn’t worry about wither or not he is going be in it. He may have already been rumored here (http://www.capcom-unity.com/tatsunokovscapcom/go/thread/view/57851/14817093/Uhoh_Speed_Racer_may_have_accidentally_been_confir med?num=10&pg=1). If speed racer is really in this, I can almost guarantee he will be modified in a more updated fashion. Much like how in Namco x Capcom remade dig dug's (http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/170/3tcuayplijlnfp0pag8zepk.jpg) design for the game. Hopefully it is a good design change that isn't like the new ones that are out in the US. When it comes to both SR and SPC, it has more to do with people connection to shows from Tatsunoko. Capcom US has to try to get people to buy this game and stop asking for Marvel vs. Capcom 3, (I posted why I think a MVC 3 won't work a page back) so by doing that they must bring characters that the American audience can remember. They also have to have characters that can physically work in the game. So my robot dream of having Macorss, Evangelion or Tekkaman Blade in the game will have to be put aside. Because they removed one Tatsunoko character and there will be five new characters in the US one, they’re will be three for the Tatsunoko cast to balance both cast out. My pick would be for two until confirmation of Speed racer is this. (oh and random news, I have found out on wiki that Marvel Comics and Tatsunoko will collaborate on a joint T.V project as well as other ventures)

Yatterman -2 (I want to see how she would play like)
Stick Bernard from Genesis Climber MOSPEADA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqy55RqyTyo), Gawl Kudo from Generator Gawl (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_mjFGym-xI) or The SoulTaker (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v6iXIo88ns).

Now I will go to the capcom cast. First of all is Jotaro Kujo, as said before I don't see that happening. Even though the game from capcom is an overlooked classic, he has nothing to do with capcom. With that begin said I will retract what I said on my previous pick for the game. (Travis Touchdown) Having Charlie or Guile won't work for two reasons.(strike to fan girls) One is that there are enough characters in street fighter so we need no more for the capcom roster. And two and I have notice this in all of there vs games.(plus Capcom vs SNK but excluding Capcom Fighting Evolution) Capcom has some stage unspoken rule with the US Solder team,(Charlie, Guile and Alex) if either Charlie/Guile are in the game then Alex won’t be in it and vice versa. I think it has to do with Alex and Charlie since both is named "Nash" in the Japanese version. I agree with both Strider Hiryu and Jin Saotome as an addition for capcom. (especially Jin Saotome so he can use Blodia as his supers) I did not know that Strider Hiryu had his own manga, if you had more info on that than that would be nice. My list will be the ones below and will like to explain both. One is a pick for the megaman series, Tron Bonne; you may know her in MVC 2. She is in the same game as Megaman Volnutt and has her own game. Now I said that having three or more characters from the same series is not needed but I feel she should be in this. She will play much like she did in MVC 2 so it will be easier to get used to her. Also like capcom roster there are three Street fighter characters from three games and I fell that it should be the same for Megaman.( but then again I am a meagaman fan so I want her just because) Not to mention one of the stages in the game in TVC is Trons ship, so it just makes sense to me. The next is an interesting one Devil May Cry’s very own Dante. Now ever since he made his debut in the first game, fans wanted him to be in a fighting game. Capcom hinted here (http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/1476/fightingevolutionjedahb.jpg) in Capcom Fighting Evolution that they do want Dante in a fighting game somehow. So I think he would make an good US exclusive for TVC.

Tron Bonne from The Misadventures of Tron Bonne (Mega Man Legends)
Dante from Devil May Cry.

And before I go there are two more random things I thought of. Because there will be US characters in the game, there is a chance of the game having English voices. (and if it does I want Kyle Hebert to voice Ryu, I don't care what anyone said he did a good job with it. And I want Volnutt to be voiced by the same VA as the one in MML) the other thing has to do with online play; I am tired of people saying that it be terrible. It is true that the Wii is third place when it comes to the three consoles and it's online play. As far as fighting games there is only one that had online play and it kind of doesn’t count. (SSBB) I feel that capcom will make that online play work for the Wii because they are pretty good with there online play and with it not being limited to "friend codes" it will be easer to find matches.

As far as the one character on both sides I want the most it will be for Tatsunoko: The SoulTaker;( he will fit perfectly with the likes of Hurricane Polymar and Karas) and for Capcom: Dante (I know capcom wants to try and put him in it and if Kratos form god of war gets to appear in the next soul caliber than I think Dante should get a shot in a fighter).

I can't wait to hear the Americans exclusives who will be in the US version and I can't want until winter of 09.

[LordGeo]

Having Charlie or Guile won't work for two reasons.(strike to fan girls) One is that there are enough characters in street fighter so we need no more for the capcom roster. And two and I have notice this in all of there vs games.(plus Capcom vs SNK but excluding Capcom Fighting Evolution) Capcom has some stage unspoken rule with the US Solder team,(Charlie, Guile and Alex) if either Charlie/Guile are in the game then Alex won’t be in it and vice versa. I think it has to do with Alex and Charlie since both is named "Nash" in the Japanese version.

I don't know what you're talking about in regards to Alex being called Nash in the Japanese version, because at least in TvC his name reads as "Alex" and is written in Katakana so the whole "Nash" thing would be a non-matter in Japan. Also, Charlie was considered for TvC, so he could very well appear at one point or another. I myself would prefer seeing him in a sequel than in the international version.

I agree with both Strider Hiryu and Jin Saotome as an addition for capcom. (especially Jin Saotome so he can use Blodia as his supers) I did not know that Strider Hiryu had his own manga, if you had more info on that than that would be nice.

Strider Hiryu was originally an arcade game, but Capcom teamed up with artisit group Moto Kikaku to make an original manga story, which the NES version of the game uses; I think Hiryu's look in the Marvel vs. Capcom games, Strider 2, and Namco X Capcom is based on the look the manga Hiryu had as well. Because of that teaming Capcom and Moto Kikaku co-own the Strider franchise and all of its characters (Hiryu, Hien, Gradmaster Meio, Tong Poo, etc.), hence why everytime Strider Hiryu is in a game Moto Kikaku is listed in the copyrights section.

Anyway, I do think that Strider Hiryu would be a perfect inclusion for TvC. They could give him a sort of rivalry with Casshan, especially if Hiryu has his Legion with him which would be a perfect counterpart to Friender.

[Yet Another Tim]

Guys, even though I just PM'd Tatsuya about a Strider Hiryu manga, I'll just share the link:

http://www.lscmainframe.net/features/manga/index.html

Note: It's Japanese only.

Anyway, Gen, Tatsuya, thanks for the corrections on Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, even though I did pair him up with Strider Hiryu, solely for theme adhering on my part.

At the end of the day, I'm still vouching for Jin Saotome (Cyberbots) and Tessa/Tabasa (Red Earth/Warzard), since their respective games did not receive a home port... in America!

Also, Tatsuya, I'm in the same page about putting in Samurai Pizza Cats, Speed Racer, and Yatterman-2, in the international version, although, I find it best to save the dude from SoulTaker for the sequel, since I noticed that in TvC's arcade roster, both sides only have 1 swordsman each (Soki for Capcom and Karas for Tatsunoko, respectively).

PS: I hope that it would have DLCharacters that can be bought via Wii Points, so that I can have likes of the following:

Capcom:

Cosmi -- Under the Skin (joke character)
Sakura Kasugano -- Street Fighter Alpha
Dante -- Devil May Cry

Tatsunoko:

Racer X -- Speed Racer
Eko -- Karas (again, so that the number of swordsmen are even)
Protesser -- Gordian Warrior

[Tatsuya Suou]

I got you're PM' by the way, thanks again. :) and I'll be fine with SoulTaker not being in it only if Dante isn't in it as well. (it will still be two swordsmen if both were picked) I agree completely about a sequel because even though MVC 3 could be nice, I seriously don't see it happening. And DLC could work but I think it should be for other things like mingames or even clips of animes from Tatsunoko. (also Tessa is a good pick, loved her in Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix and SVC Chaos)

@LordGeo
I do know that Alex had the same name in TVC, so I guess it can still happen. I think I remember now, the thing about alex name has more to do with a magazine that I saw once had the first screen shots of the first Street Fighter III. There were screen shots of alex and I remember that he was named Nash. After thinking about it my have only been a temporary name which confused people thinking alex had something to do with Charlie/Guile. (I don't remember what magazine I read it from but I do remember he was once called Nash)

Thank you for the information on Strider Hiryu. It makes sense since his original design is dramatically different to his latter ones. You know at first he was my main pick for TVC when it was out last year for the same reasons you pointed out but because of the fandom surrounding it and my own curiosity I picked Dante. And if SoulTaker gets picked than he will have a rivalry with Dante since he resembles his demon from.

Don't know, there are all kinds of glitches in fighters and I have to be against the idea of Tekkaman Blade being in it right now. Even though it would be awesome and I would love it there are two issues about it; one is if I'm not mistaken isn't blade taller then the space knight. And the other issue is if he is in it Capcom may just give him the same move set as the Space Knights. (though it be nice if they give him a whole new move list.) But as saying this I would like to see blade if his is different than space knight. (plus you made me want to have this game dubbed solely for someone to shout SPACE LANCE as much as a hadoken/shoryuken) And don't forget about Tekkaman Blade II.

But like I said before, I would like to see the likes of SoulTaker in TVC but only if he is paried with Dante. Like you said the game has two swordsmen in it and if both are in it than it would be four.

Slaughter said that MadCatz might be making sticks and releasing them domestically like they did with SFIV, the ones you linked were made by Exar(I should know, I own two of those sticks) and were released in Japan, and of course the Hori ones which were released here.

You're talking about V charge ^ special move right? Because if so, I'm able to combo it during aerial raves(just tried it on the Wii version).

But, that's (D, U + A) the old Ferris Wheel trick! Space Lariat is QCB + A.

Specifically, I'm referring to whether QCB + L --> QCB + H is possible, since I did manage to pull it off in the arcade, as mentioned earlier.

SPACE LANCE! is BB, F + A.

True story: I do shout "SPACE LANCE!" and "SPACE LARIAT!", every time I pull of those moves, while playing as my Yatterman-1/Tekkaman team in the arcade.

[Tatsuya Suou]

Little tidbit I saw on the interview from videogamer.com (http://www.videogamer.com/wii/tvc/preview-1837.html) when it came to the changes in the US version is this:

VideoGamer.com: Will there be any differences between the western version and the Japanese version?

Ryota Niitsuma: Quite a lot actually. The biggest feature would be the addition of new characters, but we will also be tweaking the design of the interfaces. We will be changing some sounds. We will be re-recording voiceovers, we will be recalibrating game balance given the responses we had from the Japanese users, obviously minor bug fixes, and we will also be changing the content of the mini-games that were in the Japanese version.


This confirms that there will be a dub of the game and changes in the mini-games. The tweaks in the games balance we knew by now; all that is left is to find out is who the new characters are going to be. I decided on one for Capcom, and it will help for MVC fans and Megaman fans (like me:D) The first will be Tron Bonne from the same game as Megaman Vulnut. (Legends) She dissevers another shot in a fighting game, besides one of the stages has her ship and her Servbots; hope to here more soon.

IGN has two newer videos of the US version up with Morrigan, Saki, Yatterman 1 and Doronjo:
http://media.wii.ign.com/media/142/14281713/vids_1.html

Looks like they still have the voices in Japanese, and besides the different looks to the lifebar and super meters they also:
Changed the announcer's voice
Renamed Variable Counter to Cross-over Counter
Renamed Variable Air Raid to Cross-over Air Raid
It says "Air Combo" instead of "Aerial Rave"

[Gen Eric Gui]

I'm pretty sure it was never called "Aerial Rave" in TvC. I would also assume that they're still recording voices, hence why they're still in Japanese.

Although one thing I did notice is that both videos had a single, solid theme playing in the background, as opposed to having the music change to each character's theme as they switch in. Also, both songs that were playing weren't in the original version.

Hey Eric, in the arcade version, it does say, "Aerial Rave", since so far, the only known arcade version is in Japanese. Also, I think "Air Combo" is just added for the A/Euro-spec Wii, seeing how A-spec arcade/DC (and even that disaster PS1) port of Clash of Super Heroes even used "Air Combo".

[Tatsuya Suou]

As far as the Aerial Rave is concerned, changing it to Air Combo or other little things like that doesn’t bother me much. The thing that worry’s me is the possible dub and the rumor of the changes of the music. I only heard about it and I don't know if the music will be changed, I hope I am wrong.( I don't want my Kaze yo Tsutaete v.2 to be removed) I say that this may get dubbed for a few reasons. One is they said “We will be re-recording voiceovers" meaning that it will be dubbed one way or another. Another is that they want people in the US to get interested in the Tatsunoko cast as much as they can, so the most logical thing is to give them English voices. And last is something I notice as of late, every new fighter for next gen has dual language in it.(Street Fighter IV, Blazeblue and King of Fighters XII) I can understand Street Fighter IV, but both Blazeblue and King of Fighters surprised me a bit. So that is why I think this will be dubbed and I hope its dual language. (so people won't cry so much about the dubbed voices) As far as speculation on who would voice who, there is one I can think of for both sides. For capcom it will be Kyle Hebert to voice Ryu once again, and for Tatsunoko it will be Vic Mignogna who will voice Yatterman - 1.

So hope to hear more soon; and on other related news, Marvel VS Capcom 2 release dates are as followed: July 28th for XBLA and August 13th for PSN. And one is news I found out today in regards to Tatsunoko latest show. Casshern Sins is coming to the US by Funimation next year.

I hope also they include Tekkaman Evil.

WOOHOO!!!
Tekkaman Blade FTW!!!
Still hoping for strider hiryu or charlie as one of the new capcom characters.

[Steel Greyfalke]

they should put Mospeada or at least at a Regult, that would make my day

[Tatsuya Suou]

Well I see you all like my find so far, one down, four to go.


Still hoping for strider hiryu or charlie as one of the new capcom characters.

Strider would be good, but we have plenty of SF characters so far, same can be said for megaman so my pick for Tron Bonne from Megaman Legends will have to wait for the sequel.

they should put Mospeada or at least at a Regult, that would make my day

Well, that is a possibility and I did pick it for my list a few pages back, there is always the next game for newer characters.

Page 2 for Tekkaman Blade, and it seams that I can rest easy. This Tekkaman will not just be a plait swap of the Space Knight and will have some new moves.

http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/9082/1252476719671.jpg

Still hope for SoulTaker or Dante, or even Nathan "Radd" Spencer(Bionic Commando) or Gene (GODHAND).

Heck even Nurse Witch Komugi or Breath of Fire sierse could be in this or the next one. This is going to be good.:D

[Dragon God]

The moment I heard of the US release, I preordered. =p

And Tekkaman Blade?! Awesome...

[SickleCellAnemia]

My vote is for Scrooge McDuck.

[Steel Greyfalke]

Save that for Marvel x Disney v.s. Capcom (it's only my imagination but who knows, Maybe it will happen Note: get the Inside joke?)

[Gen Eric Gui]

There's a rumor going around that a part of the Japanese website contains code for pictures of Megaman Zero, Joe from Gatchaman, Yatterman 2, and Frank West. I don't know how Frank really fits with the whole "super hero" theme, but I guess Jill worked in MvC2 so whatever.

Too bad it's looking like Capcom's going to ignore Breath of Fire AGAIN. They couldn't really get away with Ryu because of Street Fighter, but Katt, Rei, Rand, or one of the offensive Ninas would have been pretty sweet.

[Tatsuya Suou]

I heard about that too, but it does go against what was said long ago. This here (http://www.siliconera.com/2009/05/17/these-characters-didnt-make-the-tatsunoko-vs-capcom-cut/) showed some of the characters that wasn't going to make it. I do like Yatterman 2 to be in it(but hope she don't play the same) and Zero is a nice pick for megaman fans like me.(but I not big on him other than Tron)

But I am already seen plans of those not in this to be in the second game.
There is a thread about it in the Capcom-unity over here (http://www.capcom-unity.com/tatsunokovscapcom/go/thread/view/57851/20076565/JP_Website_update?num=10&pg=2); lets wait to hear more about this soon.

[Eternal Sin]

I vote Capcom vs. Zombies

It seems appropriate.

[Steel Greyfalke]

whatta bout Capcom vs. Sunrise or Shonen Jump(& I mean the Manga/Anime like Sakigake!! Otokujuku,Dragonball,Hokuto no Ken ,Jojo's Bizzare Adventure &Saint Seiya)

[Gen Eric Gui]

If another VS. fighter is ever made, it NEEDS to be Capcom Vs. Arc System Works. And that's that.

[Steel Greyfalke]

in other words we NEED more Capcom vs. series

[sdragon21]

What i wouldn't give for Shonen Jump Vs Capcom...
Goku Vs Ryu would be SWEET!!!

[Steel Greyfalke]

or Kenshin Himura Vs Akechi Samanosuke

[EvilHero]

The rumor doesn't make much sense to me (unless they plan on adding more than what's been 'leaked') either that or i'm mistaken about the announcement of the new characters being even amounts on each side.

Counting the announced character, that gives us a total of 5 characters, an uneven number. I believe Capcom said they were going to have an even amount of Tatsunoko and Capcom characters. As it stands, it's 3 Tatsunoko, 2 Capcom.

[Andy]

That lvl 3 finisher looks amazing. Not exactly gonna rush out and buy a Wii for this, though. Looks like such a cool game.

[Tatsuya Suou]

So it looks like many have seen it by now, Frank West is indeed confirmed.

Since his Gameplay and the TGS trailer has been posted, I'll post Blades gameplay. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbDxv-_O0_E) Very different from the Space Knight from what I see.

And to add, the Home page for those who want to see it here. (http://tatsunoko.vscapcom.com/index.html) Japanese one with new cast can be found here. (http://www.capcom.co.jp/tatsucap/index.html)

Now since we have frank in this, we’ll be seeing the other leaked charterers soon. I do hope that both Yatterman 2 and Joe the condor are as unique as Frank and Blade. And then there’s Zero; well there are two that exist, there is this Zero (http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/8208/xcmzeroside.jpg) and this Zero. (http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/4247/zero1y.jpg) Both would make a third repisnteve for team Megaman, however there is this Zero (http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/6963/180pxzgouki.gif) as well, and if they do this I would be shocked and impressed. But it’ll most likely be a Zero from the megaman games and not from the obscure cyberbots one. I kind of wanted something like X in the cast but good ol Frank has his X buster (http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/250/67ee2fefa6fb58bbe6fbd78.jpg) from Dead Rising so its all good. (For you do know Frank West has covered wars.)

Seeing both new charterers in action and the new mix of the into music in the TGS trailer (which is very sweet) Is getting me amped up for this game.

Can’t wait to play this on January 26, and then hope to see what the next TVC would be like.

Clash of the All Starts, baby! (http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/922/wp11024.jpg)

EDIT: Just wanted to add some new gameplay vids from GT. Here is Frank West/Tekkaman Blade team vids one (http://www.gametrailers.com/video/tgs-09-tatsunoko-vs/56654) and two (http://www.gametrailers.com/video/tgs-09-tatsunoko-vs/56655) as well as another brief walkthrough of the game here (http://www.gametrailers.com/video/tgs-09-tatsunoko-vs/56696).

[Tatsuya Suou]

And here they are the last two fighters for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, sort of. Granted it isn't a surprise now who it is, and it is true that it isn't Zero Akuma from Cyberbots. However this Zero dose surprise me in a way, here we go:

In Tatsunoko's corner, the third and most daring of team Gatchaman,Joe the Condor!
(http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/7276/tatsunokovscapcomultima.jpg)

And Capcom's corner, the third and most lethal of team Megaman,Original Zero! (http://img395.imageshack.us/img395/7276/tatsunokovscapcomultima.jpg)

Now you might be wandering why I said original in this, well being a megaman fan I would know this. Zero from the Megaman X series had two versions, the one from the X series and the one he stars in, the Zero series A.K.A Megaman Zero. That Zero has made his debut in fighters in SNK VS Capcom Chaos as shown here. (http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/6137/zerodissapear.gif)

I know some would be disappointed with this but I'm happy that they would use the first zero.

So all in all, I'm excited for this game and videos of both can be found in the links below.

Now I got this info from IGN (http://wii.ign.com/articles/103/1034545p1.html), and I'm disappointed with them, why you ask? Well because they forgot about Yatterman 2 (http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/4958/yattamany2.jpg); they said that Joe the Condor and Zero will be the Final Fighters, but we know that she will be in it due to the leak which already confirmed the rest of the US cast. Maybe we'll see her shortly, and I'll try to get the info over here as soon as I hear about it. Start your pre-orders now because this game is going to be good.

Wouldn't it be best described as Original Zero ver. 2? From what I remember the first version of Zero did not have the shoulder guards. He only got those after he was rebuilt in Mega Man X2.

But that's just me being picky about nothing.

[Gen Eric Gui]

I saw these videos last night, and these two are going to be so amazing. I cannot wait to play this version of the game, all the new additions are looking so badass. Can't wait to see Yatterman #2 in action.

[Tatsuya Suou]

^ That’s cool and all, but that’s from the last trailer, you could tell from the sound effect near the beginning, still a good find though.

Now in regards to Yatterman 2 as the last character, it is still unknown to everyone if she is confirmed, but as you can see on the US Tatsunoko vs Capcom site (http://tatsunoko.vscapcom.com/charactor.html) all the cast from both sides are in. You could see that Tatsunoko is short one character so it’s a bit unbalanced. But who knows, she might be confirmed in the last minute. Another thing that isn't shown yet is the mini games, so I'm looking forward to that.

Now I have something I think most will like, more on it over here. (http://www.destructoid.com/box-shot-tatsunoko-vs-capcom-arcade-stick-156818.phtml)

And rumor has it that reason Hakushon Daimou was removed was because his show was licensed by Harmony Gold and thus was forced to be taken out. Yet another reason to lose respect for the company that once brought Robotech.

But enough of that, I have one more thing to show till this game comes out next month. This one's for you Yet Another Tim; get you're preorders ready atlus faithful because this is going to be a blast.

So apparently there are two skus, one with the game and one without it.

That is awesome, now I won't feel bad when I buy two of those arcade sticks.

[SlaughterX]

Looks like the SF4 fight stick, you're probably better off getting the old Hori Wii stick.

Sweet, since Im getting two of those sticks too.

I really wish this would come out on other consoles.

There's a huge write up on the capcom unity forums explaining everything that went down at their preview party last night.

Sweet, I knew there was going to be more secret characters (There was no way they'd leave the roster uneven). Sounds good, this game can't possibly come out fast enough.

Ingrid from capcom fighting evolution is rumored to be one of those characters, but my fingers are crossed tightly that Strider Hiryu makes it into the final product.

[Gen Eric Gui]

Well, there was some kind of magazine scan with Phoenix Wright and what looks like Ingrid, but there was a pretty big rumor going around that Yatterman #2 is in on the Tatsunoko side. And if they add Phoenix and Ingrid, they need even more Tatsu characters to even up the roster.

Honestly, the only character I'm seriously thinking might be in is Yatter #2, with maybe being able to play as Yami or something as a bonus. Anything past that I'll consider an amazing bonus.

Yatterman #2.

Capcom's US store taking pre-orders on game+stick bundles as well as the sticks by themselves:

I already intend to get this, but a Phoenix Wright inclusion would seal the deal instantly. I want to see that magazine scan...! :D

[Gen Eric Gui]

Well, there are two sides to the debate:

1 - The already-existing ESRB rating of the game says there are 26 characters playable. With the recent announcement of Yatterman #2, the known roster is now at 26.

2 - Seth Killian specifically said there were still "secret characters" to be announced, as in plural. The next day, Ai-chan was debuted. So if we believe him, then there's still somebody hidden. In an old interview, the producer for the game seemed very excited about including Phoenix, and even made a few jokes about what his attacks would be in the game.

So it's not entirely impossible that we'll see him. I'm just highly doubtful, because I'm in camp #1.

[Superkenon]

Well, I certainly won't get my hopes up about it. It'd be excellent though, were it true... guess we'll find out soon.

[Yet Another Tim]

Guys, look what I found:

By the way, I hope that there's a chance Capcom USA would sell this, either on US iTunes or any other service:

Er, I'm referring to the Vocal Track CD.

[Andy]

So hey, who's playing this? I wanna know what people here think about it.

[Gen Eric Gui]

I WOULD be playing it right now, if I didn't have to wait until Thursday to get my copy.

:(

[RayFoxSith]

So hey, who's playing this? I wanna know what people here think about it.

I've been playing it today. Pretty fun, but I'm a little rusty with fighting games ATM.

[SickleCellAnemia]

So hey, who's playing this? I wanna know what people here think about it.

I unlocked everyone and just got all of the extra character colors to appear in the shop. Did anyone else try to play online? I did a couple matches(random and with friends) and the terrible lag made the game pretty much unplayable online for me, and I have a fast connection.

[Yet Another Tim]

Man, I'm playing it online, and on my first 2 matches, it was a victory (Roll/MegaMan Volnutt VS Soki/Karas), while I lost against a team of two Tekkamen.

Right now, my Wiimote batteries are dead and I am willing to trade my Joe the Condor/Viewtiful Joe card for a Morrigan.

[sfried]

http://sadpanda.us/images/91149-EQUHCRG.jpgSo they were planning on putting Komugi in...

[RayFoxSith]

Okay, I've beaten the game four times and I haven't unlocked a character yet. WHY DOES IT DO DIS?

[jeffx]

Haruko Momoi... in my Capcom game???

[unknown]

I wish they were able to throw in the Soul Taker as well.

[Gen Eric Gui]

Okay, I've beaten the game four times and I haven't unlocked a character yet. WHY DOES IT DO DIS?

Beat the game with 3 and 6 characters from a specific company to unlock the first 4 characters, and then beat the game with the 4 unlocked characters to get the final one. You've probably beaten the game with 2 from each company, so just one more from either side will get you an unlock.

And I heard that page from the Secret File was the joke page. Hence why a lot of the stuff on it looks half-assed(Cheap, low-res character model, Ingrid is a palette swap of Chun-Li, Phoenix Wright already mentioned in interviews as a joke, etc.)

It would be awesome if it were real though. I'd pay for Komugi and Phoenix. And a totally sweet Ghosts 'n Goblins stage.
