Wasted Opportunity, Tatsunoko VS Capcom :SPOILERS:

THERE ARE SPOILERS HERE, DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T WANT THINGS SPOILED

OK, they gone? Good

Tatsunoko could have been an amazing game with such a powerful roster of characters and instead of that they offer one of the most watered down fighters in well over a decade.

It's inexcusable that with Capcom's and Tatsunoko's franchises there are only 11 fighters on each side. X-Men VS Street Fighter had 9 on each side and that was back in 96. The same goes for the first Marvel/Capcom fighter in 1997.

When the series finally hit it's peak in 2000 it had a roster almost hitting 30 characters to a side

The Tatsunoko side is the cream of the crop as far as this game goes but even then there's so many omissions it's criminal.

For Gatchaman we only get Ken and Jun? I understand that Joe would have been a clone but why leave out Jinpei and Ryu?

The Capcom side is just bad with characters like Viewtiful Joe being on the roster. Not only was his own franchise not viable but he was also in a fighting game that was horrible. Why he's included and a character like Captain Commando was not is just wrong.

Only one Darkstalkers entry? Megaman gets it's roster cut as well?

The worst part about it all is the final boss

THERE'S MORE SPOILERS HERE

Of all the characters that could have been the final boss they pick one from Okami? The series that no one wanted to such a degree that it closed an entire branch of Capcom?

They made Yami the final boss character.

That's like if they made a Fantastic Four game and the final boss was Paste Pot Pete.

Actually Yami is worse because at least Paste Pot Pete is an established character. Yami showed up once, no one paid to see, and it went away.

I'm shocked more people didn't say anything about the entire roster of this game being less then just one side of other Capcom VS games.

Quality over quantity?A game doesn't need to have the biggest roster of characters to be good.More characters could mean more chances for possible character imbalances,anyways.

Yeah,one bad fighting game.Are you completely ignoring the fact that his other two appearances on consoles are critically acclaimed titles?One game is not representative of the entire franchise.

If I recall correctly,Okami is a great game.And it seems sort of silly to say that Okami is a "series that no one wanted to such a degree that it closed an entire branch of Capcom" when there are dozens of reasons why a game doesn't sell more than another.

Okami was an awesome game. Chojuto

Why does it matter if it has not been released in the US? Besides...

This would be a day one buy for me

The ability to play with Gatchaman?

Gatcha freaking man

Oh my God. How amazing would it be if they had Ichiro Mizuki sing DURING gameplay.

How much did it cost you to import?_BlueDuck_

I'm sorry, what is your point?

Stop your whining. It is as good as the first Marvel vs Capcom (MvC2 is overrated and a lot more unbalanced) Its better that they focused on a smaller set of characters so theres less of a chance of having clone characters. We finally get a good Wii game in a long time; an actual fighter at that, and you all you do is nitpick.InfinityMugen

Yes, good as a game over a decade old, have to love that progress

Also as I pointed out with Gatchaman there's plenty of characters that were nothing like the others.

How good a game is does not depend exclusively on how many playable characters there are in it.

So it even whines about the games it's geeked out about...

Is there no end? Will it ever find happiness?

Stay tuned, folks!

No, but it's a huge chunk

When you acquire a license you're supposed to use that license to the fullest.

Some games are marketed directly in line with the content they offer. I mean I've seen demos of fighting games offer more characters then this.

Imagine how Mario Kart would be with Just Mario and Luigi. Would people be fine with that?

Okami was an awesome game. Chojuto

:lol:

So was No More Heroes

On Topic : Just because there aren't a lot of characters, it doesn't mean the game won't be great. Capcom is a brilliant developer so I'm sure the game will be great nonetheless.

Good call Scar-Hawk.

I wouldn't care if there were only 4 characters in mario kart, as long as they all feel different and offer a fresh experience.

Now come on now!

Do you hate smarties because there are only 8 kinds! Get over yourself Jay~!

Jaysonguy

You showed your comic book knowledge there. Very nice. Paste Pot Pete....awesome. Nice grab. As far as the game goes I'll reserve judgement till i've played it. If I ever get that chance here in the US.
