Awesome if true.

Do you have a source, or are you one of those insiders?

Tenbatsu · (05-21-2008, 09:32 AM)

I have the scan of the page.

permutated · (05-21-2008, 09:32 AM)

Just imagine Evangelion...Vs Strider.

Holy shit I'm already excited, please post any scans or info you can find

Teknoman · (05-21-2008, 09:37 AM)

Looking at the wikipedia article, possible matchups: (?)
Speed Racer vs Ryu
Samurai Pizza Cats vs Strider or Megaman
The characters from that anime about the bible vs... Dimitri?

Flying House and Super Book

ancientflounder · (05-21-2008, 09:40 AM)

Scan, plz.

bjork · (05-21-2008, 09:40 AM)

Raging Demon on the Littl Bits? Sold.

Yoboman · (05-21-2008, 09:42 AM)

Seriously? Ugh

They couldn't have used a more suitable company like Jump?

Rhazer Fusion · (05-21-2008, 09:43 AM)

Did they at least redraw the sprites?

Defuser · (05-21-2008, 09:43 AM)

Speed Racer? He's gonna run down Ryu with his car?

Why do that, when you can have Speed Racer in your game

Tenbatsu · (05-21-2008, 09:44 AM)

Saw Casshan in one of the screens. (Dont ban me, below is not from the scan)

adversesolutions · (05-21-2008, 09:46 AM)

What mag?!

bjork · (05-21-2008, 09:47 AM)

Pops Racer like the Fat Chocobo summon in FFVII imo

Yoboman · (05-21-2008, 09:47 AM)

SoulTaker and Karas would work well in this and I guess Gatchaman to a lesser extent

There's really not much to work with

Ashhong · (05-21-2008, 09:50 AM)

whoa, is it a bannable offense to even request scans? ouch

GhaleonQ · (05-21-2008, 09:50 AM)

This is...really bizarre. I'm surprised that they didn't pick a more fighter-ready company. I'm still thrilled, though.

MrBeggar · (05-21-2008, 09:51 AM)

Hmm well I hope Hurrican Polymar should play alot like KOF's Benimaru
since Benny copied his movies. lol

The scan also lists each characters's CV/Voice Actor... but its too small/blurry
I wonder if all the old original Tatsunoko seiyuu's are still around.

bjork · (05-21-2008, 09:52 AM)

I wonder why they don't do a Namco X Capcom fighter. Didn't the RPG sell pretty well?

adversesolutions · (05-21-2008, 09:54 AM)

Can we at least get the mag's name?

Yoboman · (05-21-2008, 09:57 AM)

Crossing the streams is bad and all that

How about Capcom vs. Data East? Give me some Karate Champ guys and... Bad Dudes?

Shit, I miss Data East, such a good company.
Anw back to the topic, this game is slated for a 2008 release by Capcom in arcade.

duckroll · (05-21-2008, 10:08 AM)

Before people get too excited about the possibility of another pure 2D fighter, it seems this is another 2.5D fighter.

Reminds me of that Data East X Sunsoft animation, designed like Namco X Capcom. Nice work from an amateur, whoever made it.

Diet Go-Go pls!

Hinomura · (05-21-2008, 10:18 AM)

Great news! :)

Please, Capcom do a good job and don't hire Dragonball games developers this time!

If you're not familiar with Tatsunoko production and you fear they miss fighting characters, please have a look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatsunoko - furthermore it's not the first time we have Tatsunoko chars in a VS (ie Takara's Tatsunoko Fighter for PS1, even it was nothing special).

Please, Capcom!

It bombed hard.

PetriP-TNT · (05-21-2008, 10:20 AM)

Don't know about Tatsunoko Productions outside NGE, but Samurai Pizza Cats sure sounds awesome!

Oh, it did? Well, that explains that, then.

Precisely, Tenbatsu :)

They ran it on TV in the West in the early 1990s, fun show.

Acosta · (05-21-2008, 10:45 AM)

I have seen the scan, looks pretty nice, reminds me of the old Vs, very busy and colorful. I really like the art of Chun-li, I guess the sprite is an old one (can't appreciate it). Hope they port it to consoles.

Prime crotch · (05-21-2008, 10:47 AM)

OH MY GAWD! Generator Gawl in a Capcom game!

it's in the new famitsu.

wtf @ capcom for putting out a game w. SF chars this close to IV? dumb.

edit: Samurai Pizza Cats? ...no shit....
Would love to see the SuperBook kids in there, mixin it up.

Olaeh · (05-21-2008, 11:43 AM)

I'm excited :) The more fighters the better! all are welcome. This seems like it could be epic.

thetrin · 11:51 AM

Hey guys, what's u--...

Excuse me, I have to go change my pants.

Gatchaman + Casshern?! WTF YES PLEASE

GOD YES PLEASE YES YES YES

Gagaman · (05-21-2008, 11:50 AM)

Oo er, what an unexpected crossover. Surely this will be a another copyright nightmare if released outside Japan, though, what with so many different American companies owning the rights to their properties. Still, new 2D Capcom fighter FTW.

Speed Racer and Gatchaman alone would be a nightmare.

Mr. Pointy · (05-21-2008, 12:16 PM)

Well it ain't Marvel Vs Capcom 3, or Nintendo Vs Capcom for that matter, but beating Dante with the Samurai Pizza Cats is pretty damn awesome by itself.

Blacktin0 · (05-21-2008, 12:20 PM)

Awesome, this way if street fighter 4 does suck i will still have a 2D fighter to play.
