No, really. (http://kotaku.com/5010122/capcom-vs-legendary-anime-company)

Write your letters now, folks.

I was mere seconds away from creating this thread myself. @___@

Potential for MOMENTOUS OCCASION.  In fact, I'm moving this to General SPC. JUST BECAUSE.


I also felt the thread title could use some more enticing words. ...Plus about a zillion exclamation and question marks. :P

Holy catfish! If that happens, that will be officially the best game ever!

Any mention about what system it'd be on?

Only announced as Arcade for the time being. But still! ...HOPE!!!1!

Wow... Ryu vs. Yattaro, Ken vs. Sukashi and CHun Li vs. Pururun... What could be better? Marvel vs. Tatsunoko??? Pururun vs. Rogue!!??

... Why the hell do these things keep happening to me?! Just the other day, I was wondering what'll happen if the Pizza Cats were involved in a crossover game! :O

Still, here's hoping they're in it! ;) I wonder how Speedy's Finisher will be handled...

TEYANDEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111111!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111111111111111111111

*DIES*

please....let it be done!!!

If they were to feature KNT characters, it really would be a great way to get the show back into the public eye. Aside from doujins and such, the last KNT-related production was... Souma's manga maybe? And that was only a year or so after the show.

Is there anyway we could help get KNT characters in the game? Also, will it only be released in Japan?

According to the article, the game is being developed by Capcom, and their website no doubt has a customer service e-mail or some kind of form that could be filled out. However, some things to keep in mind:

- Firstly, and perhaps most importantly, the game may never be realeased outside of Japan. Namco x Capcom included a variety of characters that would have been more immediately recognizable to Western gamers than some of Tatsunoko's properties, and yet it never came here.
- For the moment, the game is arcade-only. There may never be a console port, and even if there was, there's no indication of what systems it would be for.
- The article gives a release date of sometime this winter, which suggests that the game is already pretty far into production. Capcom may have already decided which characters they're going to use (they probably have to pay Tatsunoko licensing fees for each one), and might not be taking requests.
- Tatsunoko has a huge library of major anime titles to choose from, including (but not limited to) Speed Racer, G-Force (Gatchaman), Robotech (Macross), Casshan: Robot Hunter, and even part of Neon Genesis Evangelion. There's no guarantee that characters from Kyatto Ninden Teyandee would be used at all.

That would indeed be awesome

Words cannot express my anticipation and overall joy at this, lets hope they made the cut :0
Hopefully if they are in they are playable and hopefully not just battle assist characters.

Though how and who to should we write to?
Link Please.

This (https://www.fuzeqna.com/capcomsupport/consumer/question.asp) is a form where you can submit questions and feedback to Capcom, although it's more of a technical support option than anything else. (It's also linked to their US site, so the form may change depending on your region.)

Alternatively, this (http://www.capcom.com/BBS/showthread.php?t=29081) is a link to Capcom's community forum, where the game is already being discussed.

Would be stupid see the guy from Speed Racer fighting agaist Blanka, we must hope that at least Yattaro can pass the filter... After all KNT is a real original show (Few animes are like this) and I think the Nyankees would be better fighting characters than others... Macross is having license problems due to the Robotech thing and Evangelion also depends from Gainax so I think they must look for good fighters (Tatsunoko isn't Shhonen Jump after all)... Let's cross our fingers for see Yattaro there... (Let's be realist, just the main charcter would appear in a crossover game like that)

Which is a good point, the SPC have ultimate finishing moves, and a range of lesser moves you couldn't ask for more when adapting a TV show character to a fighting game, its made so much easier, then just taking a non fighting type and trying to make up moves for them.

Frankly IMO they were made for this kinda opportunity.

Also some good high res screenies

http://www.famitsu.com/game/news/1215298_1124.html

The worthy ones havent showed up yet but the games looking cool so far.

Well, since Yattarou is the main character of KNT, we should at least hope for him to be in the game, although I would love to see the other two as well. Since the game might be released only in Japan, I don't think it's possible for Capcom to take ideas outside the nation. But who knows, maybe we could ask japanese fans of this forum to vote. Maybe.

Looking the appearace of the gane scripts, thery seems to have a realist style very different from the Street Fighter Zero style so the animaroids eould look funny fighting the Capcom people... Anyway Capcom will include at leat one of the Rockmen (One of the backgrounds is from Rockman DASH that is my favorite after the original Rockman and we evenb can see servebots) so I think the styles mixing is already been worked... Also if we look the appearance of Tasunoko series most of them have weird designs... I hope at least Capcom mnake their basis in Wikipedia where the 4 most popularsTatsunoko series are Mach Go Go, Gatchaman, Macross and Teyandee!!

Capcom has made some unpredictable character choices in their VS games before (Shuma Gorath, anyone?), as well as featuring small, cute, comical characters (Roll, Servbot, etc.) so I'd say they have a chance.

Pururun vs. Phoenix.  That would be the ultimate catfight.  No pun intended.

And you're right.  It'll probably only be main leads.  But I've seen them cram upwards of 60 characters into these types of games, so who knows...

I take it you're not referring to Phoenix Wright.



...Oh, heck. I'd like to see that anyway.

Damn it!!! >_< I just woke up right now. I had a dream involving this news/topic.
My brother's got a laptop and is always on it getting updates on gaming news. So, in my dream I'm sitting on the couch and he's at the kitchen table typing away. Then all I hear is: "Aw crap! Connor, one of your STUPID pizza cats is going to be in a video game." And, I'm like: "YES! They made it in!!!"

and then I woke up.  :/

My real life is the nightmare.  :'(

I was checking and a lot of people would like the Pizza Cats be in this game and although I should be working right now I created a petition for this (I hope have done it well) anyway go there and sign!!! We never know what can happen!!!

http://www.petitiononline.com/teyandee/petition.html

New art from Mr. Oma (http://bignasty4life.deviantart.com/).

Just signed it!

Nice art there! Although is Speedy really that short? Come to think of it, wasn't his height as given in SPC quite a bit shorter than his KNT height?

Anyway, here's a magazine scan (http://img.am-net-bbs.com/img/tvsc/tvsc12.jpg) featuring the latest revealed characters and info for TvC. No one from SPC yet, but there's a notice in the corner stating that more characters are yet to be revealed...

I recognise Ryu and Chun Li, but who are all the others?

Well, for Capcom, there's Batsu from Rival Schools, Souki from Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams, Alex from Street Fighter III, and Morrigan from the Darkstalkers series (which was really great, it's a shame that it's not that popular, and that aside from various tie-ins and crossovers, it hasn't had a new installment since '97). Tatsunoko has Owashi no Ken from Gatchaman, and Gold Lightan, Casshan, Tekkaman, Hurricane Polymar, and Yatterman from their respective shows.

So the first trailer is out... Doggone it, Tatsunoko! When will you finally show us what we've been waiting for?!  >:[

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOJbMa80xU0

Heck if the Time Bokkan dude got in, how can they even justify not having a KNT character >:|

As we found out some years ago, The KNT where first a manga, so they are author owned chracters...

I don't think that's the case. I've never been able to find any references tin KNT's credits that it was based on a pre-existing manga. Rather, they seem to imply that the manga was based on the show, and was produced at around the same time.

tats, vs., capcom? oh no :O! i don't know which side i'm on, i like zero, but i like the pizza cats, it's so confusing  ?:|

It's your choice but these are the nyanki we are talking about, not the pizza cats. Sorry, I don't like calling the pizza cats and the nyanki the same characters.

The manga is too short, is worse drawn and has great differences with the anime, like Lucille boxing. All mangas based in an anime last at least a tanbokun and are usually better drawn than the anime, while the real KNT manga last less than that. Think this, if you where doing a Kodama (Manga with talking animals) in a second rate magazine, and someone wanted to do an anime based on your manga, would you keep doing your lame manga or get the chance to work in an anime?. Is not the first or last case where an author stops doing the manga to work in another media with really similar content. The manga was lost for ages,because is was too short to be released in a tanbokun but was scaned and put online some years ago. Is the real deal, not doujinishi like we where used, why would a fan do a manga version of the second knt episode when dojuinishi arent "literal" of the anime stuff, uh?.

Is not weird that we finally found it, Internet is easy to use asnd gains users every day, so news stuff is add all the time.
 

Yoshimi Hamada doesn't appear anywhere in KNT's credits though, nor do the credits indicate the show being based on a preexisting manga. The only mention at all in the credits is Comic Bombom (the magazine that the manga ran in) being listed in the "publication" section.

i found this on Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatsunoko_vs._Capcom:_Cross_Generation_of_Heroes

no SPC/KNT characters yet, but i hope that Speedy gets a place or even the Big Cheese :D

Still, the manga was done before the anime, and who says Yoshimi Hamada is his real name? is very usual in japan to use fake names for doing a manga...

It was published first, and even then only by a few months. First installment of KNT in Comic BomBom: November, 1989. (http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%B3%E3%83%9F%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E3%83%9C%E3%83%B3%E3%83%9C%E3%83%B3) KNT TV Premiere: February 1, 1990. (http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%AD%E3%83%A3%E3%83%83%E5%85%9A%E5%BF%8D%E4%BC%9D%E3%81%A6%E3%82%84%E3%82%93%E3%81%A7%E3%81%88) Evangelion's manga adaptation debuted in December of 1994, but the show didn't premiere until almost a year later in October of 1995. However, the manga was based on the show concept, not the other way around.

It's not impossible that the manga was around on its own first, but all the signs that I can see point to it being a tie-in to the show rather than its originator.

I see... and I signed that there petition  :D

I'm think I heard somewhere that Speedy's in the 3"s. And besides, as short as these guys appear to be, who's to say they wouldn't be that small lined up with humans like Ryu?

Yes, his SPC height is 3 foot something (can't remember inches exactly), his KNT height is 133cm (4 ft., 4.4 in), significantly taller. Although the official KNT measurements are suspect, since they put him 3cm taller than Pururun, who is consistently drawn taller than him.

But anyway, nice drawing. :D

Hell, not even for the fact the Polly issue, he looks small enough that his SPC height may as well be correct.

...funnily enough, if his KNT height is indeed true, his SPC height may as well be Francine's, giving how tiny she is. BUT WE STILL LOVE HER.

ANYWAY BACK TO THE SUBJECT AT HAND! : o

Word has been lax on the game as a whole. Believe me, I've been looking. I suspect we won't get anything new until after the Vegas Location Test. Which, in itself, says we may just get this officially after all.

When does this fabled test take place, I am wondering?

According to The Fighter's Generation, my main source for all things fighting game related, August 8-10th.

IN TWO DAYS, FOR THREE DAYS, IT'LL ALL BE ON THE LINE : O

I wonder if they've added more people in by now and kept it on the down low.

Wow, Yattarou is taller than Speedy. As far as being taller than Pururun, I think either they may have made a mistake on her height or maybe she outgrew him not too long ago.

Is an "ears" business, Yattarou  includes his ears in his height, while the others do not. Just watch the KNT ending, why put him as a giant (One of his recurrent fantasies) if he wasn't the shortest adult in the show?. Maybe he originally wasn't that short, but it was decided to make him the shortest for comical purposes in the TV show.

The reason he's a giant in the ending is because he's the main character of KNT. And even with his ears, there are still portions where Pururun is still taller.

Well, the location test at the Evo event has started... and nothing new is there. In fact, one character (Ken from Gatchaman) has been removed from this build for some reason... :huh:

odd.... and very, very lame...

Strange.

The gameplay, however, is GREAT. Looks 3D, plays 2D. The only thing I'm really worried about (other than no Speedy/Yattarou) is the fact that Morrigan's supers. The Finishing Shower is ABSURDLY easy to block and the Valkyrie Turn is easy to miss. I sure hope she still has the Darkness Illusion at least, otherwise you won't be able to use her unless you're lucky or good?

EDIT!:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=946495&topic=44794672

Someone linked to this in my Speedy and Ryu pic. Apparently, Yattarou's seiyuu was at Otakon this year. Boy asked him if Yattarou might be in Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom. The VA said he didn't have all the answers at the moment, but at the same time, it wasn't a flat out "NO".

Read more at the thread.

Thanks for relaying that. Good to hear that there's more interest for SPC/KNT characters in this game out there.

Here's a little something I wonder.

As most of you may know and much to my personal delight, they are bringing back character specific theme songs, which haven't been around since the first Marvel Vs. Capcom. We've heard some of the Tatsunoko characters' personal themes, as well as classics on the Capcom side such as Ryu, Chun-Li, and Morrigan (Hey, Darkstalkers IS pretty old).

Let's say Yattarou WAS to get into this game. What KNT song do you think they'd arrange for him?

Outside maybe a fighting game version of the show's opening song, I think the most battle ready songs would prolly be either "Teyandee Special Express" or "Battle In Flash". But that's just me.

I would use those two songs since they both are my most favorite of the soundtrack.

The background music used whenever one of the cats uses their "Hissatsu" technique (which Battle in Flash is a variant of).

Those would be my top choices.

I've also thought it would be cool to have a KNT themed venue. Probably in front of the Emporium, with an animated launch sequence going on in the background.

Yeah, I kind of noticed that not too long ago.

I know it's prolly the person recording the video talking out of his rump, but in this video that reveals Megaman Voulnutt and Doronjo as new characters...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9c66-giDto

The following conversation ensues...

"You know in the full version, they have Samurai Pizza Cats characters? You remember that cartoon?"
"Yeah, yeah, I DO remember that cartoon, I saw it when I was a little kid. That cartoon was tight, man."

Even if it's just random gamer BS, It's still nice to hear that even MORE people remember SPC.

On a random note, someone's comment on the video makes me chuckle. Says that the SPC don't stand a chance of getting in opposed to other classic Tatsunoko characters.

Umm...SPC is what...18, 19 years old? That's classic enough. XD

Yep, it's surprising to discover how many people still remember one of the best cartoons ever... I mean SPC, not something else... like... what?

Even if they make an appearance in the game, they might be using KNT version characters since who knows if this game will be released in North America and other territories. If they are to release this game in other countries though, they still might use the japanese voiceovers and such. Alot of Capcom's fighting games usually include alot of Japan's voiceovers and such to appeal to teens and hardcore anime fans. I kinda of have doubts that KNT or SPC will make the cut and if anything, KNT has a higher chance than SPC does.

Oh, if they do get in, of course they'll be depicted as their KNT selves. I think everyone just keeps referring to them as "SPC" because that is the most familiar depiction that everyone knows of.

Though I have to admit that it may prove a little hilarious to see what SPC fans not in the know of KNT would think of seeing them act/sound as they do in KNT.

Hey guys! Nice to meet you all I'm Kori-Maru from the Capcom-Unity Forums. I don't work for Capcom, but I do love me some KNT/SPC. I hope they make it in soon and play like the Dorombo group from the Time Bokan series.

I got bad news though, I ask one of the members from Unity is "Was the KNT series was one of Tatsunoko's popular series like Gatchaman, Yatterman, Speed Racer and such?". One of the members was kindly enough to give the information from a Famitsu magazine. He said "SPC, according to an article, was said to be popular (around Naruto level), and is listed in the Japanese Tatsunoko website. However, it's not as "memorable" as the Tatsunoko characters." Here's a scan (http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/2668/tvccm3.jpg)

Popular as Naruto, but not as memorable as it's fellow series made by Tatsunoko! I don't understand. :O

But you guys have an interview from the voice seiyuu of Yattarou and he didn't say no. So there maybe a chance after all. I would be happy to see you guys happy if they make it in and playable like the Dromobo team. Keep BELIEVING!

I do recall reading an article that said KNT got good ratings back when it was on the air. I'll try to find it again... Here it is. (http://www.animenation.net/blog/2007/08/02/ask-john-was-samurai-pizza-cats-successful-in-its-time/) It actually got higher ratings than Naruto, One Piece, and Pokemon Diamond & Pearl!

OKAY! With that much ratings they deserve to be in the game.

For reals, son!

Well, I'll be damned.

This comes as good news, but I'm afraid now is crunch time for any sort of Pizza Cat/Nyanki action in TvC. I was looking at a gameplay video that featured Alex and Tekkaman Vs. Yaterman No. 1 and Hurricane Polymar. It contained the location test build of the game. Megaman Volnutt and Doronjo hadn't been announced yet, Ken Washio was unavailable maybe for licensing issues, and from what I gather, Gold Lightan is a mini-boss of sorts (he uses one lifebar and takes the damage of a team of two). So that was six Capcom'ers and four Tatsunoko'ers available at the time.

Adding Megaman, Doronjo, Ken, and G.L. to the character select screen that was shown leads me to believe that they only have room for one more person from each side. So unless they pull a Roll and add legit secret characters opposed to powered up recolors like Capcom tends to do, this might be Speedy/Yattarou/Nyanki No. 1's last chance.

OH, and Kori-Maru, a favor to ask of you and anyone else willing to do so: The next time anyone says that KNT is not popular or memorable because they never showed up in any Tatsunoko crossovers, ask them this...

Has GOLD LIGHTAN ever shown up in any of said crossovers?

To spite me, I bet he has, but so far, I've seen only Gachaman, H. Polymar, Yatterman, Doronjo, Tekkaman, and Casshern, with a little Speed Racer on the side.

And if he hasn't, yet he got into TvC, that speaks volumes for Speedy's chances.

I would buy this game just to play as the SPC, if they got in.

we could either protest, or pray

I recommend we pray, Yattarou and Speed Racer may have their chances.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=946495&topic=45363933
Does Capcom need to obtain the licenses from Sotsu Agency too?

Possibly. Tekkaman Blade is co-owned by Sotsu too, from what I've read.

Is Tekkaman Blade different from the Tekkaman that's in the game?

Plus, I read that Sotsu in now a subsidiary of Bandai Namco...

Uh...

Capcom worked with Namco once? Maybe they could work something out? Possibly?

OhGODallhopeislost

I asked Seth of Capcom Unity about the US involvement and the character roster.

The Good
The roster isn't complete yet. ;)

The Bad
It may not guarantee anything about whether they'll be in the game. :O

Maybe Speed Racer may appear and hopefully Yattoru and the others.

Here's the link
http://www.capcom-unity.com/ask_capcom/go/thread/view/7371/4894511/Is_Capcom_of_USA_involved_with_Tatsunoko_vs_Capcom
 

Two (http://m.pic.to/pzvhw-1-7cd7.jpg) new characters (http://m.pic.to/pzvhw-2-7cd7.jpg) leaked, neither of which are from KNT, unfortunately.

Eh, only one of them would be anyway.

WELP, that's it. Unless the character select screen rotates, no KNT for us.

Now we have three big robots in the game. That doesn't seem to be fair. Speed Racer and KNT characters must be in the game.

http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/8917/tatsu02zh0.jpg (http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/8917/tatsu02zh0.jpg)

This TOTALLY destroys my 'no more space in the character select screen' theory, which SLIGHTLY raises my hopes on Yattarou's chances back to their former glory. However, I still stand by my thought that they can't possibly be putting that many more people in. Four or six more characters at the LEAST, and even then that seems to be pushing it.

Presently, it looks ridiculously empty, and it'd be friggin' AMAZING if they did go all out and fill up all that space, which means we may definitely see some Nyanki action in there, not to mention other Tatsunoko hopefuls that people have been voicing interest in, such as Go Mifune (better known as Speed Racer).

I suppose if there's a sequel, the chances are of KNT characters representing are still up for possibilities....of course, it'd also help if there were to be exceptense for fanservice.

As a pessimist by nature (I'm not a downer, I choose to look on the bad side of most things and be surprised if I'm wrong or saw it coming if I'm right than to be optimistic and be destroyed if I'm wrong), I know fully well that the chances of any sort of KNT action happening in this game are much lower than us Americans ever seeing it outside of an import (and even then it won't happen, because unless it comes out for the PS3, I am NOT shelling out money for a Japanese Wii). I just think, and I'm sure everyone else here feels the same, that since Tatsunoko happened to have a hand in making the show, that it would be pretty cool if it DID happen.

We know better, but we can always dream.

DAMN YOU REALITY!!

http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n263/truegameheadz/TatsunokoVsCapcom_wii_01.jpg (http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n263/truegameheadz/TatsunokoVsCapcom_wii_01.jpg)

A friend showed me this scan advertising TvC coming onto the Wii. This page details another new character from the Tatsunoko side, Daimaō from the show Hakushon Daimaou.

Nothing on the Capcom side yet, but in order to keep the character select screen balanced, this should suggest that another character from each side is on the way, two in Capcom's case.

Keep hoping against hope, folks.

I had been wondering about the potential difficulty of depicting the cartoonish style of KNT characters in 3D, but if this guy's any indication, it's definitely doable.

I don't think I see KNT on Sotsu website anywhere?

the suspense is killing me, MAKE UP YOUR MINDS TATS AND CAP  >:[

That guy is like an emblem of Tatsunoko... What would Bison think facing such opponent?

He'd prolly just assume he burns from a Psycho Crusher as well as any other victim. >: D

Alot of people are requesting for the cats to appear at Gamespot posts on the news about the game appearing on the Wii. Wierd that they're aware of the fact that Tatsunoko is behind the series yet they're calling them by their dub names instead of their original KNT selfs.

Old habits die hard, I guess... or something... man, I need sleep.

They're pretty much the same characters regardless of what you call them, anyway. Actions (animation) speak louder than words (dialog), and all.

I swear that the KNT/SPC and Mach Go Go Go/ Speed Racer are the most requested Tatsunoko characters that peope all over the world that people are requesting.

No different from people asking for Speed Racer when they should be asking for Go Mifune.

Seriously, though, it's as felineki said, they're who they are regardless of who we call them.

EXACTly! Anyway, how are y'all?

While I'm not too sure how these dudes are doing has serious bearing on how your day's going, please add something meaningful to the thread's discussion if you're going to add your 2-cents blind2d.

It would be nice to see Yattarou in this game, but even if he or other KNT characters don't make the cut, perhaps if enough people keep asking about them, they could appear in a sequel (if there is one) due to popular demand. ;)

It depends. If there's more than one representative in a franchise, Sukashii and Pururun might make the cut as well. But anyway yes, if KNT does appear then Yattarou will be a playable fighter since he is the main character.

Two new characters reveled: Jun and Roll.
(http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/9590/1223539182406wu8.jpg)
No Teyandee yet. :-\

Even so, this is a pretty neat selection. However, as I told a good friend of mine who shared this news with me, I suspect Jun will play as a semi-clone to Ken kinda like Roll was a semi-clone to Megaman back in Marvel Vs. Capcom.

The Tatsunoko version of Shotoclones: GATCHACLONES!

Tatsunoko still has more people on their side, though, if you recall the other Wii exclusive character, that genie of theirs. I wonder who Capcom will bring in to fill in the void.

Furthermore, I wonder who would be the final boss. It's always someone from the side that isn't Capcom, so who do you all think is big and bad enough to fill that roll? 's gotta have a giant form of some sort, that's what happened with Apocalypse and Onslaught (and Abyss, too, but I seldom count MvC2 as an actual game than I see it as Capcom's version of MUGEN).

We still have plenty of time...Let's just hope.

a kid with a broom vs. a spy,  8O, ok......??

They just had to use the worst Roll version ever, right?.

I wonder if she can still go Hyper. XD;;

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/BigNasty4Life/roll-glow.gif)

Call me a noob, but... who are these guys?

Roll is a character from Capcom's MegaMan series and Jun is from Tatsunoko's Science Ninja Team Gatchaman.

Why the hell does Capcom insist in make Roll a fighting character?? I'd rather a lot to play as Blues (Protoman) or Forte (Bass)...

That'd actually be pretty funny if she met with Trigger.

TRIGGER: Roll! How'd you get so, uhh...small?
ROLL: *BITES HIM IN THE KNEECAPS*

Damn, KageReneko, you got here fast. MY POST HAS BEEN DENIED BECAUSE OF YOU XD

ANYWAY! I suppose with making Protoman and Bass playable in other Megaman media, they have to use Roll SOMEWHERE. Sure, they stopped that making her playable in MM Powered Up, but that's just my take on it.

what about zero?

SNK Vs. Capcom: Chaos.

Not THE Zero, but A Zero.

Boy, I sure hope a KNT character gets in quick, this is starting to lose it's place on this side of the forum. XD;;

Yeah, that angry, skinny and always angry-looking Zero that I hate too much... AT least the Rockman Zero games were good although I really hate Dr. Ciel and the stereotypical anime characters... The REAL Zero would be the s*** but he never will beat Protoman in coolness... Just to hear his whistle gives him the victory in any fight...

I dunno how much anyone actually cares about this anymore (I know it's slipped off MY radar), but three new characters have been confirmed for Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom's roster. One on Tatsunoko's side, being Ippatsuman, shown here (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/thumbnails/fit200x200/encyc/A1752-11.jpg), and on the Capcom side, Saki Kanebou (http://sdb.drshnaps.com/sheets/Capcom/Other/Other/Saki.gif) from "Quiz Nanairo Dreams", who was also a support in Marvel Vs. Capcom, as you can see, and one of my personal predictions come true, the one and only Viewtiful Joe!

Still no Nyanki, though. : (

well, zero would be a better choice then a weird girl with a broom

Viewtiful Joe YESSSSSSSSS! Easily my favourite new character of the last console generation, so I'm quite ecstatic at this news!
That's one down, one to go.  (http://www.edoropolis.org/forums/index.php?topic=1954.msg22511)


Not that I'm a fan of the character, but, do you... actually know who Roll is? o.O
She's Megaman's sister, was created way before Zero, AND was playable in Marvel vs Capcom.

Except not with a broom, which does seem rather lame, indeed.  :O

Roll with her Megaman legends outfit: Good

Roll.exe: Okey

Roll with a blaster: Cool

Roll with a broom: Lame and sexist!

Well, she IS a housekeeping robot. : /

Still, who's to say she won't break out the old removable Roll Buster like last time?

Roll also could use all the dresses she had in Rockman Rockman/megaman Powered Up in PSP for her different techniques, you know, in that game the main roll is the one with the broom but she has the summer, halloween, rain, flower, Christmas and a lot more costumes (All of them are the same anyway but her "weapon" changed so this could be factible)

Eeh.. You know the Roll from Rockman DASH/Megaman Legends isn't this same roll isn't... Anyway would be cool to use Roll Caskett since Rock Volnutt is here...

Don't mention the s*** characters of Rocman.EXE saga, they just deserve be erased for the eternity...

TvC Cover art. Notice how Joe sticks out above the rest (literally! XD)

I think it's safe to say the Nyanki never stood a chance now  :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

aww....... ;_;

Oh well. Still looks like a great game, and I'd want it to be released over here.

If it does well enough, maybe it will get a sequel.

True that, true that.

lets hope the sequel comes out before 12/21/2012

Booooo!

woof (http://kotaku.com/5257869/nintendo-power-tatsunoko-vs-capcom-coming-to-us)

...and it's over here too (http://www.capcom-europe.com/forum/showthread.php?s=623ca691bf1f69cf3d8ea2c2e36685e4&p=189281#post189281).
So...do we have any more speculation/hope left, or did we use all that up :P

Hey, guys. Remember me?

I just want to say that word on the street is that they may be altering the Tatsunoko roster a bit. I guess taking out some characters and adding a few more characters from shows that we are familiar with.

Now what's a Tatsunoko property that we are all familiar with?

So I've heard, and I've been hoping and praying.

got my talons crossed ;7

Here's a hint: They're the protectors of the city these forums are named after! =] ;] ;)

Of course, there's also Speed Racer, too. Maybe BOTH will be added in there, as some sort of 50-50 draw.

Some more TvC:UAS news...

Hardly a surprise, Capcom does confirm that one of the most iffy rumors of the year is actually happening for US Wii owners, as Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars is headed to North America sometime this Winter!  As expected, one character has been removed (who could it be), but adds a whopping five more (and who could they be?) to the roster, bringing the total up to an impressive 26.  Also worth noting is that the game will remain exclusive to the Wii, and not migrate to other gaming consoles.

My guess is that the removed character is either Hakushon Daimou from the Tatsunoko side or Saki from the Capcom side. Though a recent promo art showed Ryu back to back with Casshern opposed to Ken the Eagle, the head of the Tatsunoko team (Then again, if they can him, they'd have to can Jun the Swan, too, and that's prolly a no). If there's 26 characters in all, and as it is, there are already 11 characters on each side, that means 13 for each side if you count the removal of one of the preexisting characters. My pessimism tells me at least three of those five characters are Capcom's while two are Tatsunoko's.

While three characters to a side would, in a fan's dreams, mean that these spots could go to each of the Pizza Cats, I think that realistically, they would pull the Doronjo system and have Speedy as the main playable while Guido and Polly helped as strikers, kinda like the recent MUGEN creation of the team.

That is if they get in at all. There has been a circulating list of people that the heads of the game wanted to put in the first time, but didn't get the chance, and sadly, the Pizza Cats weren't anywhere to be found. Not only that, but I do believe that Disney has the license for Saban properties these days, which SPC was, so it'd prolly be an uber BITCH to borrow the Cats for this. Hopefully, with this US release and the constant clamoring of some Pizza Cat love for this game wherever it's mentioned, Capcom will supply somehow.

ACK!! You beat me to it, but here's the more detailed E3 Info, straight from the Capcom-Unity Forums!

• 26 fan-favorite characters from the Tatsunoko and Capcom universes face-off in this stylish 2D fighter (yup, we're getting 5 more characters! 1 to replace Hakushon Daimaou & 2 for each side)

• Tag-team battles and customized two-character fighting techniques produce a wild, dazzling spectacle

• Wi-Fi Online gameplay allows worldwide matches

• Four battle modes include Friend, Rival, Free and Ranked Battles

• Match-ups are not restricted to just “Friends”

• Earn Points and Titles (for Title Creation) for all to see

• All-new VS gameplay mechanics creates a new way for fans to return to the series

• More than 20 Mini-game provide additional multiplayer fun

• Enhanced control schemes offer a simplified control scheme option and allow use of the Classic Controller and Gamecube Controller

• Wii-exclusive

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf435oNwosM - Here's the E3 Trailer for those of you interested in seeing the English Logo with the Tatsunoko Seahorse cut out. If the Pizza Cats are gonna be included, then let it be Speedy Cerviche who will act as a Gameplay-based Love Kitten of Doronjo and Soki! By that, I mean that Speedy will have the Ally-based attacks from Guido and Polly (and Lucille firing missiles) that are done by Doronjo's Minions, Tonzura (green, with a sinister-like mustache), and Boyacky (who wears the Purple, with the gut), plus he will have the Ginsu Goonie Bird Armor that will convert Speedy into EXTRA TOPPINGS MODE, as an equivelant to Soki's Dark Oni Mode! And maybe Speedy will shout "TEYANDEE!" as he jumps back into the fray!

As for the Release Date, it will be probably out on January 26, 2010! It's a long wait, but it's well worth it for a game that's gonna be the next Super Smash Bros. Brawl! PIZZA CATS FOREVER! Onwards to victory!

Wow, I was right in their replacing Hakusho Daimou? HAW! SERVES 'IM RIGHT. My pessimism has yet to fail me!

Hopefully, in taking out a Tatsunoko character, they'll see fit to replace him with a Tatsunoko character. C'MOOOOON C'MOOOOOON!

For the 5 to be put in, I can imagine the following to be put in:

Tatsunoko's side:

- Speed Racer
- Yatterman No. 2
- Speedy Cerviche (think Doronjo and Soki's Love Kitten)

Capcom Side:

- Sakura Kasugano (we need the Alpha Series' Go-to Girl! Plus, next to Polly, she's one of my favorite girls! WHOO-HOO!)
- Either Felicia from DarkStalkers or Stylish Alastor from Viewtiful Joe! Either one of them or Zero!

I'm with you on the Tatsunoko choices, but for Capcom:

-Dan Hibiki (I WILL NOT BE DENIED)
-Dante (I know I'll get lynched for this, but I think Dante + Vs. Series (hell, fighting game period) is LONG overdue.)

Hate to burst your bubble, but Dante will NOT be in the game, because his creator doesn't want Dante in the game to begin with! I say if we don't get him, then any of the following characters will do, instead:

- Arthur (Ghosts N Goblins Series)
- Chris Redfield (Resident Evil Series, similar to Jill Valentine)
- Classic MegaMan
- Tron Bonne (in her MvsC2 Gustaff)
- Zero (or MegaMan X)
- Sakura Kasugano
- Stylish Alastor (who plays similarly to Dante, minus the guns)
- Felicia

VERY WELL THEN. That list of yours seems solid, with the exception of Classic Megaman (c'mon, we finally got some true love for the Legends series in the form of Volnutt, not to mention Roll fills in the Classic series just fine). If I were to throw in a name to replace him, I'd have to say Leon S. Kennedy circa RE4.

THIS JUST IN:

There will be a new feature in the International Edition of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0NwCvPru6I - Soki's Level Theme, while NON-Soki characters duke it out.

and this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kByQ14uWJGU - Morrigan's Level Theme, while NON-Morrigan Characters duke it out.

This new feature lets you play as your favorite characters, in the stages that have your favorite themes! This also means we'll see new stages for the characters who DON'T have the stages for their themes. Case in point:

- Chun-Li: either Great Wall of China (Alpha Series) or the Streets of China (SFII)
- Viewtiful Joe: Where else, but MOVIELAND! But WHERE in MovieLand?
- Roll: Outside Wily Castle (think Classic MegaMan's Marvel vs. Capcom Stage). Either that or Outside Dr. Light's Lab, with MegaMan and Dr. Light watching the fight.
- Alex (SFIII: Third Strike): Central Park
- Jun The Swan: Probably a Meadow or something relating to Gatchaman.
- Doronjo: Wherever she and her minions call their HQ

I don't really have a list of the ORIGINAL Stages, though.

HM. Dunno how to feel about this. I mean, character specific stages are always cool, but not only do I like when a certain character's theme is playing while they're on screen, but it kinda brings home that Vs. series feel from the days of old.

One way they could fix this is, instead of the song switching AS SOON as you switch character, which I will agree is annoying, keep it so the song only changes when a person is defeated like they used to.

Attention, one and all, this is YoshiAngemon, the supposed Capcom-Unity Representative of the group. We now have a date, from GameStop! (http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=75003)

The date is 1/26/2010! It is open for Pre-ordering, but the date might change. And in the unlikely event that the Pizza Cats somehow get tossed out on their tails, then you can move this thread into the Video Game Discussion Forums!

Unlikely, he says.

HE'S GOT.

HIIIIIIGH HOPES XD

HM. Sure hope I get my MyShare bonus around that time!

...dangit, now you've got me wanting to watch A Goofy Movie.

Either that or the Simpsons Season 5 episode "Rosebud," where the townspeople refuse to see Maggie all sad and depressed over losing Bobo, Mr. Burns' long lost teddy bear. That was when Skinner proposed to sing to children at the Hospital, and that High Hopes song followed.

But this is NO time for the topic to be derailed! This is a Tatsunoko vs. Capcom Thread.

Right. That's what I was trying to say, all along. Let's try to stay on topic.

Heh, I used to watch that movie all the time when I was a lad.

A-HEM!! We need to focus on Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, here! According to Seth Killian from a recent Destructoid Interview, Capcom might do a poll for who you'd want to be included in the game. In other words, they aim to make this game "For fans, by fans."

Well, hopefully someone will keep an eye out for this poll.

Well, considering that I'm the Capcom-Unity Guy for this job, it might as well be me. Come to think of it, I'm usually not that good at reporting findings, despite the earlier reports.

If that's the case, then the SPC are practically a goddamn shoe-in now! XD As I said, I cannot go ANYWHERE this game is mentioned without people asking that all three cats and Speed Racer are included.

Let's just hope that, yanno...this is the case. XD;;

If the SPC did make it...well, then I'd HAVE to buy this game! For the sake of nostalgia!

I'll buy it whether they make it in there or not! Maybe even if they were to have Nurse Witch Komougi in the game, and she uses Cosplay for her attacks. I mean, maybe it would have her doing Speedy as one of her attacks. Besides, I like Capcom Fighters. Still, if the Pizza Cats DO make it in there, maybe someone should do a Yatterman version of the Pizza Cats Intros, complete with this line:

 :speedy: "As long as the Samurai Pizza Cats Exist..." (feel free to replace "the Samurai Pizza Cats" with "Nyanki," if you feel like it)
 :guido: :speedy: :polly: "EVIL WILL NOT SUCCEED!"

Still, I saw a video about how Team Konohamaru is played in Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja 4, and it would give you an idea as to how the Pizza Cats would play out.

I'm not entirely familiar with Tatsunoko other than SPC, Astro Boy and Speed Racer.  What other notable characters do they have at their disposal?

Astro Boy belongs to ANOTHER company! Tatsunoko was the company that made Kagaku Ninja Tai Gatchaman, which was localized MORE times than One Piece was dubbed!

1. Battle of the Planets
2. G-Force: Defenders of Space
3. Eagle Riders

And some other names I may have lost track of, unless that's it!

OH yeah, you can get DVDs with a decent bub of that series somewhere in the world....

I was such a fan of G-Force....

Word from The Fighter's Generation is that if TvC: UAS does good here in the states, we might (NOT CONFIRMED, but the word is out) just see a sequel for the PS3 and 360! See, according to one of the heads, the game was originally done with the Wii in mind, especially considering the graphics. To attempt a port for the other two systems would mean that it would just make more sense to straight up do a sequel from scratch instead.

If that happens and we're once again robbed of some SPC/KNT action in the US version coming out, at least their chances wouldn't be dashed completely if this sequel does come to pass.

You know what this means, folks. Whether or not the Pizza Cats make the cut, BUY THE GAME WHEN IT COMES OUT. We need to show these guys that we really DO want it as badly as we do.

To hell with that, EVERYBODY BUY 10 COPIES!!!!

;7

I wish I had a ps3 or 360.... why isn't it for the ps2! X3

Because the PS2 is on its way out. It's nearing the final wave of new software made available for it. Oh, and I heard that Ocean Group is gonna be dubbing the game! That means we'll be able to hear the following actors voicing the following characters:

Janyse Jaud - Morrigan
Angie Beers - Roll (she did her in MegaMan: Powered Up!)
Randall Wiebe - Dr. Thomas Light (Roll's Ending)

Just to name a few.

You'd think with the near similar graphics, uh?


That'd be pretty neat if it happens, I rather like OG. Though I wonder if they're going to voice all the characters. I mean, I think Kyle Hebert's been established as the voice of Ryu nowadays, wonder if he'd do it one more time along with the SFIV voice of Chun-Li, but more importantly, they gonna try to dub the Tatsunoko crew? I can only wonder what "ARA HORA SA SEI" can come out as, plus if the Cats DO get in, would they try to emulate the Saban VAs or do a take on the Nyanki?

SO MANY QUESTIONS. DJKHKLJGHF CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS GAME

Either that or maybe they'll try to get the Original Voices of the Cats themselves. Fanservice is a BIG factor in this game, and the popularity of such!

Chance is extremely slim to none. Capcom rarely hires union voice actors anymore, and replaced much of the Resident Evil cast as a result.

With all due respect to Capcom, I'd rather they weren't in charge of voices. While the RE Series for the most part seems to be doing fine voice-wise nowadays, I'm still scarred by the voice acting that was done in Mega Man 8, and in Mega Man X4.  >:[

An interview with producer Ryota Niitsuma about TvC:UAS (http://www.fightersgeneration.com/tvc-interview.htm) that, among other things, pretty much confirms that the new characters thing is a go.

Ha! I actually enjoyed Mega Man 8 and X4's voice acting... but for all the WRONG reasons! :D
Fortunately, for everyone else's sake, they've come a long way with casting VAs since then (Viewtiful Joe (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2kEp-i3DYU) voicework is looooove), so I do have faith in them.

actually don't know much about this game but if knt appears in it, will it be japanese or english  ?:|

Let's see. It would probably be Japanese for the Fighting, and English for the Endings. That's probably my figuring.

hm... maybe they have this option were you can switch with english AND japanese  :D

Why not? I mean, Street Fighter IV had it.

According to talk going on here (http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=190955&page=9), the game's producer has said there will be no SPC characters.

Ouch. It's bad enough that we already know that licensing issues would keep them from being included, but for the people heading the game to say themselves that clamor for the Pizza Cats were the "oddest request they've got"?

Maybe we should just move this thread and be done with it. XD;;

Good idea. Put him in with your brother.

Sorry, I was thinking of The Goonies.

Notes on fighting game panel. (http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/697692/Comic-Con-09-Live-Blog-Capcom-Talks-Fighting-Games.html)

Cheer up, Fureon; we will have our revenge.

No revenge needed, but just a good new SPC game. I wonder if there is some way to remind the creators about SPC/KNT and how awesome it would be to see them in action again...

are they worth it... calling this the strangest idea....

If the demand was any indication, I'd say yes. As I've said many a time, it's amazing how hard the Cats are requested amongst other characters from BOTH sides.

I mean the SPC creators. Well, if they still work at Tatsunoko and/or can do anything about it :-S

Maybe to make up for the lack of the Samurai Pizza Cats, and they put in Nurse Witch Komugi, SHE'LL integrate Speedy's Cat's Eye Slash into her moveset, by changing into him, but with the bunny hood ears in place of the traditional ears.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4cumMj8Vqg - For the Record, here's Komugi, using the Firebird Sacrifice Move from Gatchaman.

I heared at least 1 soundeffect at 0:52 thats also used in knt

Character designer Noritaka Suzuki still has a big interest in KNT going by posts at his blog (http://geocities.yahoo.co.jp/gl/suzukitenko). It was his first character design job, and he still draws them often. He's said that if any opportunities came (like, a DVD release or something) he'd like to do some more official artwork.

I remember that Tekkaman Blade had a lot of BGM from KNT...

are those sound effects actually sound effects from knt itself or did they took it from someone else?

That's good to hear.

And this is awesome too.

The sound effects probably come from a sound effects library that is made for general media use. You'll hear the same sound effects in various shows, video games, etc. because they all used sounds from that same library.

Background music is another matter. While there are libraries of general use music, these tend to get used more for things like commercials. Lots of TV shows have music composed specifically for the show. Even then, in some cases, music that was composed for a specific show can end up being used in another show. I know there was a Youtube clip linked to here on EE that showed a piece of KNT background music being used on a Japanese variety show.

I'm fairly certain that I mentioned this a long while ago; but to prove felineki's point I have heard sound effects in KNT that are from Aliens. Mostly motorized sounds for the Catatonic. Mostly. :P

Why must this thread be de-railed? All I did was provide an alternative to having the Pizza Cats in the game, and this happens.

Well, we want that the PIZZA CATS be in the game, I personally don't care if a pseudoreplacement of the Pizza Cats will be included so the alternatives that you give aren't relevant for this thread...

Maybe you don't care about the cats actually be there but we really do... If Speedy/Yattaro won't be in the game I don't want another anime character stealing his spotlight for use his moves... Nyankee or nothing... You aklready listened me Capcom (Heheheeheh, surely the Capcom executives are reading this right now)

if they are going to put characters like boboboboboboboboboooobobob into this game it would be really sick....... then I just know they must hat knt....
anyway, I can remember that a sound from starwars has been used a lot of times in other programs (it's that scream from TIE fighters. I actually always thought starwars would never give their soundeffects away.

I fixed it, and he's TOEI, plus Shonen Jump. He would never fit in, unless Tatsunoko's Three Newcomers are actually guest characters from TOEI.

Considering the amount of SW merchandise it would'nt surprise me if the SFX were shared too.

Just thought I'd link to  this (http://kotaku.com/5343940/tatsunoko-vs-capcom-gets-four-new-characters). It says there will be 4 new characters for the western release, and it looks like even Kotaku is hoping for SPC.

it saids: 2 from tatsunoko...if it will be from spc, which 2 will it be??

Here's hoping for Speedy and his Cat's Eye Slash!

Okay, now this is a little more even than five, though it make the overall roster one character lopsided...unless two of those people are gonna be two row eating big ass characters like Lightan and PTXWhatever the hell it's name is.

STILL, if Kotaku is even hoping for some love for our favorite felines, our voices are getting stronger. CAPCOM! You'd better be listening!

I just learned that the new characters will be shown in full, at the Tokyo Game Show! Mark your calanders folks, and if the Pizza Cats make it in, make sure to stand behind the white line! Ka-boom!

so when will we now?

The show will be from September 24-27, so just about a month from now.

Well, one of the four new characters has been revealed.

The good news is it's a Tatsunoko character!

The bad news is (unless you're a fan)...it's Tekkaman Blade.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/BigNasty4Life/tekkaman-blade.jpg)

 :/ :/ :/ :/ :/ (http://trg.fireball20xl.com/random/CURSES!!!.mp3)
(click the smileys! click the smileys!)

I am taken by surprise, yet at the same time not, for I do recall seeing "Tekkaman Blade" being distributed under the name "Teknoman".

Well, this is truly our last chance. If it helps any, "Teknoman", while now held by Media Blasters, was originally licensed by Saban. And we all know who else they were responsible for.

C'MOOOOOON, C'MOOOOOOOOOON

That was close, Tekkaman Blade was produces by Sotsu and Tasunoko right after KNT was ended... That game is torturing us!!

If this is torture, I'd hate to see the death sentence. Somebody have an animated gif of the Big Cheese exploding? I mean, we only got one more Tatsunoko character that needs revealing. And if Speedy Cerviche DOES make it, then we'll end up with one hyper-ultra-super-happy fanbase. If not, then we'll all explode just like the Big Cheese and his family.

Yeah, no kidding. Someone's gonna have to pull up that specific part of that specific episode with the caption "SPC fanbase". XD

If we get what we want, my appropriate reaction is depicted in this video:

#Invalid YouTube Link#

BTW, the end of the video is hilarious.

I'm two steps ahead of you. Not only did I pull up that very episode, but I also made a Wide Shot of the Big Cheese Family about to explode.

And from the looks of it, It looks like each new character will be revealed each week. Next week might as well be a new Capcom character.

A little "THERE IS A GOD" action there, Mechadon? XD


Pfft! May just be! Just piling in front of the main offices...

If Speedy DOES make it in, then we'll have to do the Yatterman Victory Pose with a bit of a twist:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdPVU0UeMK4 - VICTORY POSE! Yatta, Yatta, Yattarou!! TEYANDEE!!

If you don't like that, then maybe a Francine-inspired pre-launch poem would work:

Attention, all Fighter Fans: Please stand behind the line of white, because the Samurai Pizza Cats are joining the fight! KABOOM!

And if Speedy doesn't make it (which is most likely), then he will most likely be in the sequel, if there IS one, and given the sales, there WILL be one.

if speedy get's in then I'll just do the victory pose from spc itself X3

Full roster was leaked this morning due to Capcom borking up the HTML on their site. Remaining characters are Zero, Frank West, Yatterman 2, and Joe the Condor. No Speedy... at least, not until the sequel.

So, no explosion from the fanbase, today? I was so worried about the fanbase that I wasn't gonna TELL them that Speedy never had a chance, or that the bill from the restaurant was really high. (Big Cheese, and the Pizza Cats Fanbase ALL Explode)

#Invalid YouTube Link#

 :'(

(http://www.anaitgames.com/wp-content/darth_vader_nooo.jpeg)
 :kaboom:

Now, can we rename the topic to "Tatsunoko vs. Capcom (No SPC/KNT Characters, this time)," and move the topic to the gaming section?

As for Zero, you have to wonder if Capcom's gonna use the MegaMan Zero version (used in the Capcom vs. SNK Series) or the long-awaited MegaMan X Version.

Man, you really annoy me...

Uh...counting the confirmed Tekkaman Blade...that's five characters. While it was stated that it was going to be five characters at one point, it was restated to four.

I CALL B.S.

Not that this makes the Pizza Cats chances any higher, but still, something is wrong here.

You may be right. Of course, one of the guys at the Capcom-Unity may have a feeling that the leak was purposely created by Capcom to throw us off, in hopes that the REAL Newcomers will show up, and one of them MIGHT as well be Speedy Cerviche! And if what I speculate turns out to be TRUE, then we'll all probably say "The Leak is a Lie!"

That'd be nice if at the very least it meant we could get Joe the Condor out of there (Look, we already have Ken and Jun, we do NOT need a third Gatchaman character), but this video of Frank West gameplay confirms the sloppiness of that one site's coding.

#Invalid YouTube Link#

Who would you rather have, replacing Yatterman-2 and Joe the Condor, Speedy Cerviche and Bad Bird (Who uses Ninja Crows to do his dirty work)?

Actually, I'd keep Yatterman No. 2 and kick Joe in place of...well..ANYONE (Though Speedy is always welcome XD). She fights with some kind of electric baton, last I saw, so she wouldn't necessarily be a clone of Yatterman No. 1.

As I said, three Gatchaman characters is too much. Ryu, Chun-Li, and Alex get away with this by being representatives of three different Street Fighter series-es, Ryu representing the very first game, Chun-Li II, and Alex III. And while Doronjo is from Yatterman herself, she can also be pegged into representing the Time Bokkan series on the whole, as I'm told that the three bumbling villains from all the series-es are actually Doronjo's gang, just under a new alias.

Don't ask me how that works, but it works.

I'm well aware that Gatchaman is prolly THE head Tatsunoko program, but I'm slightly disappointed with their selection for the UAS new characters if they're just going to add characters from series-es that have already been established by earlier additions to the roster instead of anyone from different shows.

It's only to save money on any MORE additional licences. And incidentally, Joe the Condor and Yatterman-2 were on that list of considered fighters. And IF Capcom were to contact Disney about the Samurai Pizza Cats, maybe Capcom could also talk Disney into letting them release those Classic NES and SNES Titles on Virtual Console. You know, the Capcom-Disney Games.

Disney? Disney? Disney are more interested in unpacking a large box with "Marvel" written on the side.

So, it's looking like there are no cats in this game? OK. Fine. Lets get some good news out of this.

• Tatsunoko are, at the very least interested in using past works in a new form.
• http://tatsunoko.vscapcom.com/ has at the bottom of the page both Tatsunoko and SOTSU, so there is no issue in getting those two companies together with Capcom
• Hey, it got people talking about Pizza Cats for a while
• Disney (Well, BVS Entertainment, Inc. and BVS International N. V.) lose some kind of control over SPC circa November 2010, so it won't be long before we can forget about them.

Hopefully, and this is what I want to know, on one of the many blogs from Capcom, some kind of official comment: was using characters from SPC/KNT even considered, in either UAS or CGH?


In any case, I may very well just buy this game anyway, cats or no cats.

I still think an arcade style beat-em-up would work for the cats.  Either that, or a fighting game in the vein of DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3.

Okay, everyone. We get two new characters revealed, today!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04WUkpf7hRk

In this first video, we got Zero, from the MegaMan X Series, with Techs from X4, X6, and others mixed into his fighting style!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWHuNalSgR0

And in this second video, we got Joe the Condor, from Gatchaman. He's reminiscent to ProtoMan, but his fighting style involves grapples and his rifle, as well.

Now, the final character that would be revealed will have to be Yatterman-2. The code doesn't have Speedy Cerviche spelled out as "Yattero." So, DON'T make a big deal out of it.

...Still, maybe it WON'T be Yatterman-2, and Capcom could surprise us all with the ultimate surprise hero!

Sorry for the Double Post, but here's a newsflash of great disappointment for SPC Fans:

http://www.capcom-unity.com/s-kill/blog/2009/10/27/behold__your_tatsunoko_vs_capcom_ultimate_allstars_cover_ (http://www.capcom-unity.com/s-kill/blog/2009/10/27/behold__your_tatsunoko_vs_capcom_ultimate_allstars_cover_)


So, basically, it means that there's only 25 characters playable (or are there?), and Speedy's not gonna be in this game. Maybe he'll be in the sequel.

What could be better?
TATSUNOKO VS SHONEN JUMP, that would be the perfect game for the otakus.

Yes, it would, but don't derail the thread, even IF it makes sense. Come to think of it, I think there's something about SUPER Secret Secret Characters that will be revealed at the end of January. If it's anything like Brawl's Secret Characters, they'll probably be revealed BEFORE Capcom does.

I'd like to see a game were ichigo is in, though there are already games about bleach, I think there isn't a single thats as good as those from naruto.
(btw you have to flip the 1st and last names if you say a japanese name, so it's kurosaki ichigo X3)

Okay, since it's really close to the release date,

Secret Character: Yatterman-2 (Ai-Chan)! She was one of the characters leaked by means of HTML. We all thought she wouldn't make it, but now, it's all come full circle. She's got Yatter-Pelican as a Super Move, and She's Yatterman-1's (Gan-Chan's) Partner in Crime-Fighting against the evil Dorombo gang! She wields an electric baton, can fire electric projectiles, and she just happens to be Seth Killian's personal favorite! Unless there are more Super Secret Secret Characters (I don't mean Agent Triple-Zero, and likewise Morocco Mole), she just might be the last one revealed.

I prefer the second Yatterman 2's gameplay:
Yatterman 2 & Chun Li vs Kaijin No Soki & Saki

I know this is my 100th post, but I just want everyone to be patient. I intend on getting the game when the GameStop opens, and the shipment comes in. I just hope it's on the 26th, and not on the 27th! I recently paid for it in full. I wonder what other news there will be.

Forgive the Double-Post, but it looks like The Samurai Pizza Cats are NOT appearing in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. But, don't be sad, they will be missed.

Um... I thought the SPC not being in this game was figured out months ago.  :huh:

It was, but we needed TRUE Verification.

Should we do a boycott to TvsC by not include the Samurai Pizza Cats?

Nah. If the game is good & you like its playability, go get it if you can. ^_^
They hopefully put a decent amount of work into the game, so if the game's a game you like, you might as well enjoy it.

Tatsunoko vs Capcom has a great default: it's only for Wii. There are games that were going to be only for Wii (for example No More Heroes) but they are going to be also for PS3 and Xbox 360. Maybe Capcom could bring TvsC to PS3 and Xbox 360 with exclusive characters, don't you think?
If Tatsunoko vs Capcom appears in PS3 with exclusive, who should be the exclusive characters?

SPC should be exclusive for Xbox.  :P

Epic win right there! Go Mecha!

Well, Capcom really put a lot of work in the legal department, trying to get copyrights for ALL those characters! I mean, do you have any IDEA how hard it must've been, trying to get characters like Tekkaman Blade, Joe the Condor, and Yatterman-2 in the game? Or even the rights to characters from shows like Gatchaman, Yatterman, Ippatsuman, or even Karas for use in the game? REALLY HARD, when an International Release is imminent!

If it weren't for us, the fans wanting this game, we would've been stuck with Super Smash Bros. Brawl, where we would only play as Nintendo Characters, plus Solid Snake and Sonic the Hedgehog! LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, RAZGRIZBLAZE1, MECHADON, PETROIVANMARTIN, AND KYOSABER! IF WE WERE MORE PATIENT, MAYBE CAPCOM WOULD'VE NEGOTIATED WITH SQUARE ENIX AND DISNEY, AND MADE KINGDOM HEARTS VS. CAPCOM! We could've had a 3-on-3 Fighting Game Format, similar to Marvel vs. Capcom 2, and for the first time, you'd be able to make teams with combinations that aren't limited to just "Sora, Donald, and Goofy!" You could've had Leon, Ryu, and Aladdin, or Dan, Genie, and Demyx, (Jokes of all worlds) or even Mulan, Axel, and Hades (Firaja Combo Finish)! And the Final Bosses would be Sephiroth, Akuma, and Xehanort's Heartless!

Don't shout man... Who the hell want Disney Characters?? If we get Capcom vs. Looney Tunes... That would be epic...

What? Just so Daffy Duck can get abused even MORE? You're despicable!

The next Capcom's crossovers are SHONEN JUMP VS CAPCOM and MORTAL KOMBAT VS CAPCOM.

Ryu vs Goku and Ryu vs Liu Kang have been (and are) the most expected fights in videogames' history (http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/5/5b/SquatWritten.JPG[/url)

'When developing the Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars Capcom talked to Tatsunoko Productions about using the Samurai Pizza Cats...'

 ?:| well that kinda stinks

Wow...that really does suck. At least we know Capcom tried but...wow. That's a shame, really...  (>:()

:guido: :polly: :speedy:  Yattarou is not invited?
ゆるせん! (yurusen!)

 :(

Ok...
We wanted it (naturally). Capcom wanted it (which is very good to know). Capcom were negotiating with Tatsunoko Production all the way for it to happen (and good for them).
Hooray for Capcom then, for trying.

I wonder if licensing issues with Disney are what kept it from happening.

Tatsunoko refused the Samurai Pizza Cats, and they wanted to see Speed Racer

Tatsunoko has been thinking that people is like when they made Gatchaman: THEY LIVE IN THE PAST!!
Tatsunoko was in a declive before TvsC, did the anime company deserve it?

wow...so it could've been possible for knt to be in there but tatsunoko actually refused it!?

Well,at least I feel happy for know that Capcom was really interested about include the Nyankee in this game... It makes me feel that the series isn't totally forgotten in other places besides this forum... But come'on, if they were able to include that genie character (I donpt know him so I really don't know if he has any fighting skill) whey didn't they include Speed Racer??

Anyway, Capcom's efforts about KNT make me forgive them for Rockman Zero and Rockman.EXE...

I'm pretty sure it's due to licensing rights in other countries, including ours with Disney.  It's the same reason we're not yet seeing a release of SPC on DVD out here.

Maybe somewhere along the line, Disney and Saban want to re-version the Samurai Pizza Cats, the same way they re-versioned The Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (now airing on ABC Kids, with online availability on iTunes and Youtube.) And if that happens, then you could expect some American SPC Merchandise from Bandai.

I really don't want to see a re-make of the spcs....I know it just ain't any goods, it will be probably 3D, with stupid humor thats just too easy to think of like that from family guy and probably guido will be white and seymour brown or black and... no just keep it like this XD

What I meant was a Re-Versioning, NOT something entirely new! That means taking the already existing episodes and audio, and restoring the footage, as well as adding some somewhat unnecessary comic book-like VFX (like BONK! or KLUTZ!, or CRASH!). Watch the Re-Versioned MMPR on Youtube, and you'll understand.

If Disney had plans for SPC, it would've made all the more sense to ensure their inclusion in the game. It's instant brand publicity.

oh sorry, red it wrong XD
but still...if they are planning to make new episodes...they actually can't do that right? they 1st got to ask tatsunoko if they want to make their own episodes?

Why Disney and Saban? If Tatsunoko created KNT/SPC, it should make the remake/sequel

This just makes me sad. Why would you do this to us, Tatsunoko? :C

Because they wanted someone who's even MORE well-known than our favorite felines. But the real problem was moves. He doesn't really do much outside of fight and drive the Mach 5.

F*ckin' Tatsunoko. SPEED RACER IS NOT AS GOOD AS THEY THINK

I am guessing this is the case. Sotsu/Tatsunoko would probably love it if the Nyankee were in the game, but Capcom may have specifically asked for the Pizza Cats.

So how come Déclic Images can get a French DVD box set done and dusted but Capcom can't use a single crime fighting feline?

 

In addition to Disney owning the international license, I assume issues arose from KNT being a Tatsunoko/Sotsu Agency joint venture. Sotsu is now owned by Namco-Bandai, a major competitor of Capcom.

It's all the same show as far as rights are concerned, I think. Disney owns the rights for anything KNT/SPC-related distributed outside of Asia.

With regards to Sotsu, Tekkaman Blade is also a Tatsunoko/Sotsu joint, and yet it was featured in TvC... as well as getting a (second) DVD release... and toys...  :'(
