I think it sounds way more grandiose and impactful than the current one. #tatsunokovscapcomultimateallstars...

Look at who Ryu and Chun-Li are faced off against. Two spandex bikers with retarded helmets that will probably get them killed one day. Frank West is across from a gigantic mecha machine designed to obliterate matter. And he's got a camera.
Respect. #tatsunokovscapcomultimateallstars...

And of course like ten billion other shows. #tatsunokovscapcomultimateallstars...

Play as the CAPCOM guys only if you must, but I'll be checking out some of the Tatsunoko characters and hope that some of the hidden characters (if any) are also from the Tatsunoko collection. #tatsunokovscapcomultimateallstars...

Hikaru Ichijyo pilots a Valkyrie and is owned by Tatsunoko, but Harmony Gold are giant douchebags and cockblock anything Macross-related that they can. #tatsunokovscapcomultimateallstars...

Fun, just good clean Capcom fun. #tatsunokovscapcomultimateallstars...

Unless you suddenly unluck a secret code for Ryu to do his Shin-sho-ryuken in SF 4...in this game he has it and more. Alex has more moves than in SF 3 (like the air power bomb grab, instead of only doing it in the floor) and so on...so yeah the moves are intact. The buttons is true, but the move set and combos you can do are in no way minimal compare to other vs. games and much less compare to SF 4. #tatsunokovscapcomultimateallstars...

its just plain fun.. and i dont see how the experience is less than mvc.. its definitely an updated take on that formula. i mean, instead of teams of 3 like mvc2, its teams of 2.. but compared to the first mvc.. its right on par. air combos, super cancels, super team moves.. and NEW techniques.. what else is missing? #tatsunokovscapcomultimateallstars...

For a 4-button structure (or a 2 button if you're using the sideways Wiimote) The moves may BE there, but they won't all activate as you'd expect them to coming off of playing SF or MVsC.
Again, I think the game is great ... it just plays "different" than some other Capcom fighters that the characters appear in. #tatsunokovscapcomultimateallstars...

The game seems to take a bit of SF 4 spirit of 'input translation' as in that the game will kind of auto register some inputs based on some of the one you did, reason sometimes you come off doing a kick special and go to do a punch special and the game still does a kick one...happens to me all the time with Abel and gets annoying -_- and why Zangief is so easy to use in SF 4.
To someone use to MvsC 2 this might feel to different and this he won't like it maybe...lucky for me I didn't really like MvsC 2 and is probably reason I liked this one more. Still there is always room for improvement in every of the .vs games (and in any game in general) and this is no exception. #tatsunokovscapcomultimateallstars...

I just bloody well don't know anymore. It changes from game to game. #tatsunokovscapcomultimateallstars...
10/27/09
but really.. it depends on the artist.. remember in the alpha/street fighter 1 days.. it was more of a reddish color. #tatsunokovscapcomultimateallstars...

anyways, @zanzibar.. to each his own. my friends and i (who are all hardcore fighting games fans) love this game. i imported it last december, and i have had friends either buy or consider buying wiis for this game. i didnt get rival school vibes at all from this game (rival schools was the first game i got for my psx.. love that game and id love for capcom to make project justice 2/rival schools 3).
the game felt like a bridge between marvel vs capcom 2 and cvs 2... it wasnt as chaotic and ridiculous as mvc 2, but not as refined as cvs 2. just like in any other fighting game, you can button mash all you want.. but if youre playing anyone worth a crap.. it wont help you. its an excellent game, and i like it a lot better than mvc 2 and sf IV. check it out. #tatsunokovscapcomultimateallstars...

I lol'd at Ryu's page on the Street Fighter wiki. It lists his hair as 'Black', but in the first paragraph of the article it says 'brown'. #tatsunokovscapcomultimateallstars...

more like a chaotic rival schools.....with its button scheme.. its more/less a button masher #tatsunokovscapcomultimateallstars...
10/27/09
i got the same impresion from a couple of friends who went to the capcom ny event.
i guess this will be a bargain buy for me. #tatsunokovscapcomultimateallstars...

Also unlike other .vs games, there are combo cancelers so the other player can pull a cancel move on you and turn the tables around by starting a combo that way.
The game buttons are simpler than other fighting games, but it doesn't make it a button smasher againts someone that knows about: Advance Guard, Super cancelers (basicly is advance guard plus, if you block a super you can call your partner in a special way and he'll hit the enemy stoping his attacks) 'Baroque', combo cancel and of course the combo system itself.
So yeah, the game isn't a button smasher and button smashing againts someone that knows the game will get you no where. #tatsunokovscapcomultimateallstars...

the classic controller is a must.. but with that.. it controls fine.. and i like it better than mvc 2. i mean.. it has a similar scheme to an snk fighting game.. light attack, hard attack, special attack.. extra button.. no biggie. if you combine stuff and know what youre doing, theres plenty of depth. #tatsunokovscapcomultimateallstars...

Not bad. Very similar to the Marvel vs Capcom covers which is a good thing. #tatsunokovscapcomultimateallstars...

@DigitalHero: I like the face that they didn't keep out too many characters, like they did when they brought the japanese version of mvc over. #tatsunokovscapcomultimateallstars...
