Back in Business

Geeze................I almost completely forgot about this. A couple of my friends have theirs up and running so i figure i should hop back on that wagon and get my shit running too.

Geeky Ish!.....................

Awhile ago Capcom announced a new fighting game thats due to come out sometime whenever (Video game companies never keep release dates so im not gonna post one)

Capcom Vs. Tatsunoko!

It's been a long time coming, but we're finally getting to see Capcom put out a new versus series.

Considering the fact that Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 Came out in 2000 and Capcom Vs. SNK 2 came out in 2001 (I still play both games faithfully to this day, but thats besides the point lol) we're long over due for some new crossover madness

A lot of American Capcom fans we're thrown off by the announcement of this game due to lack of knowledge about the Japanese animation production company that is Tatsunoko.



Tatsunoko Production Co. Was founded in 1962. Relatively unknown to the American public /youth with the exception of a select few. Americans who do recognize the name is usually due to two American adaptations of Tatsunoko cartoons, Those being Samurai Pizza Cats (Classic Hype!) and Gatchaman Force (G-Force for us)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatsunoko





So Far 12 characters have been officially announced and confirmed........

Tatsunoko Cast:

Ken Washio (Leader of the Gatchaman Force)
Casshan The Robot Hunter
Gold Lightan
Tekkaman
Hurricane Polymar (Im playin this fool)
Yatterman No.1

Capcom Cast:

Ryu
Chun Li
Alex (3rd Strike)
Morrigan (Darkstalkers)
Soki (Newest main character in the Onimusha series)
Batsu ( They finally got the balls to put a Rival Schools character in another game)

Definitely excited to see how the Tatsunoko characters handle. Capcom side is pretty boring and straight forward other then the inclusion of Alex, Batsu and Soki. For some reasoneverytime capcom decides to throw characters in a game they have to start out with boring regulars. Ryu and Chun are perfect examples of that. Ive seen Ryu and Chun in too many damn games......With all the games that Capcom has made over the years you figure they would grow some balls and take some more chances by now, but no Capcom stays true to its ways.

Its also probably because of the fact that Japan usually doesn't consider a fighting game with Capcom in it "GOOD" unless the usuals are in it. For example Street fighter 3's Main character was supposed to be Alex and the cast was completely new (with the exception of Akuma I think). Japan wasn't feelin that, so to make everyone happy they threw Ken, Chun, and Ryu in......Just so happens thats Ken and Chun Shit on 80% of the rest of the cast......(Fuckin' Capcom)

The game seems to be in a 2.5D format. This meaning it has 3D characters fighting on a 2D planes (Same as Street Fighter 4). Backgrounds look fully 3D and the animations for the supers have that over the top look to them like MvC2 has.

The fighting system is a two on two tag battle system on a 4 button layout.........Luckily A video featuring Character intros and gameplay surfaced a few days ago so here it is so you can check it out...............



DID HE TAG OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN AIR COMBO! WHAAAAAAA!!!!!

Im excited to see how thi game turns out in the end, A couple more characters would be nice. At least an 18 character cast would be enough, but for now its just a waiting game to see what happens next. lol

O and for you cats that get to make it out to EVO 08' in Vegas this year, you're in luck. Not only will you get to play Test the latest build of Street Fighter Super Turbo HD Re-mix and Street Fighter 4............Capcom vs. Tasunoko will also be there to be play tested as well.
