Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom (Well, at least they tried...)

[Sinder]

woof

[ANE]

...and it's over here too.
So...do we have any more speculation/hope left, or did we use all that up

[MisterOhma]

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?

[D-Mac]

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

[sans soul]

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

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf435oNwosM" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf435oNwosM</a> - 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!

[MisterOhma]

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!

[YoshiAngemon]

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!

[MisterOhma]

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.)

[YoshiAngemon]

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

[MisterOhma]

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.

[YoshiAngemon]

THIS JUST IN:

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

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0NwCvPru6I" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0NwCvPru6I</a> - Soki's Level Theme, while NON-Soki characters duke it out.

and this:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kByQ14uWJGU" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kByQ14uWJGU</a> - 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.

[MisterOhma]

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.

[YoshiAngemon]

Attention, one and all, this is YoshiAngemon, the supposed Capcom-Unity Representative of the group. We now have a date, from GameStop!

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!

[MisterOhma]

Unlikely, he says.

HE'S GOT.

HIIIIIIGH HOPES XD

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

[felineki]

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

[YoshiAngemon]

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.

[YoshiAngemon]

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