Comic-Con has some big news from Capcom and Namco.

Teaser!!

THANK you Yoshinori Ono and Katsuhiro Harada!! 2011 will be awesome!!

My god, what the hell is up with all this awesomeness lately? Not only are they finally pitting the 2 franchises against each other in the way they should be, there's 2 variations of it to represent each franchise's trademark gameplay?

Good god almighty, this has truly been The Year of the Fighter.

I take it you've never heard of Capcom vs SNK and SNK vs Capcom?

You know, Capcom's original true rival since they have been around forever and both did 2D. Capcom never really went 3D.



So I have to wonder how this will be since Capcom is a lot of people who are on a 2D plane and use fantastic powers and projectiles. Will Capcom give projectiles and fantastic moves to Tekken people?


Would Namco have to remove such fantastic moves from Street Fighter people in their game, except that is what they are? How do you have Ryu without the Hadoken?



I honestly hope I can trust Namco not to fuck over SF in their version. At least in SNK vs Capcom, they made Ken EVIL AS ALL HELL with "Violent Ken" and they were the FIRST to put Zero in a fighting game (people forgot about that when TvsC came around). They also had Red Arremer as a Boss character. SNK really went creative with choices.



Also, personally, I wanted them to keep it as Capcom vs Namco and Namco vs Capcom, the poster they used for it before (which I can't find right now), had Soul Calibur and such against Darkstalkers.


Now imagine what would have been with that? Street Fighter and DARKSTALKERS vs Tekken and SOUL CALIBUR?!!


NIGHTMARE vs DONOVAN?!! You would have had me at hello.

EDIT: Found the poster:

I knew SNK & Capcom had a crossover, but I didn't know they did two versions, too.

I guess my opinion is more biased, since I don't know much about SNK, and I'm a huge Tekken fan, so this, to me, is far more awesome.

Huh.........wonder why they decided to drop the full-blown Namco vs. Capcom idea? It'd make up for us not getting Namco x Capcom from before.

Nearing the release of SF vs. Tekken, a shitload of info has surfaced these last few months; I thought I'd unload it all here.

Still basically no info on Tekken vs. SF yet; guess Namco's allowing Capcom to have their fun first.



The ins and outs of that whole Gem system thing. Both Capcoms (U.S. and Japan) seem to be listening to the concerns of the masses, though (at least U.S. Capcom does), so hopefully the problems won't end up as bad.......

Character teamup intros, and other character reveals.




So far, they're keeping my attention. :penguin_15:

Some cool news that is unreleased and some BAD news that is very related.


First a video to watch, another awesome one from Thousand Pounds and YES, that is the QUANTUM RANGER:

Relish in the awesome of that (minus the part I obviously hated).










Then, in CAPCOM = TOTAL DOUCHEBAG AND TOTALLY NOT FUNNY NEWS:

This better not be real. I would gladly hope it's a troll and not Capcom being a troll.

Oh for fuck's sake......if they enjoy alienating their fanbase, that'd be a great way to do it. :penguin_16:



In related news, The PSV-exclusive characters look to be available for DLC in the regular version, albeit under a lot of controversy. And general disgruntledness by the public.
