This game is basically King of Fighters Capcom version :D

Questions for the experts...

Are they still using the same sprites for the characters?
Looks like it, but I want to be sure.

No, this game is basically Capcom vs SNK 3 without the SNK characters. Even the menus and lifebars match the style of CVS2 some what.

Good to see Jedah, he freaking rocks.

Still not getting the game out of protest though.

Well, glad Rose is back. I actually kind of missed her in CvS2.

Hope Vega is very much like his CvS2 self. It was like old school Bison, but beefed up with Zero-sauce.

... Gimme Makoto!

The game had better have plenty of characters from all of Capcom's series like Marvel Vs Capcom games. I particularly want Breath of Fire characters, although having two characters named Ryu might be confusing. At least Katt from BoF2, Rei from BoF3, Nina from BoF 4 and Lin from Dragon Quarter.

Awesome. I knew Alex would be in, since he was originally planned for CFAS.

Jedah is fantastic news as well. Not Talbain but it'll do.

JPN > US

Vega > M. Bison

Balrog > Vega

M. Bison > Balrog

The "M" in Bison stands for Mike, by the way.

May I ask... Why? Human error? Retranscription error?

Cause Mike Tyson would have bit more than an ear out of Capcom USA's Ass.

Edit: that was a weird analogy.

Balrog was named Mike Bison before (well in the japanese release), and not Mister Bison or M. Bison. So they changed it for certain.. reasons. Well you know why.

No, I was asking about the fact that Balrog is M. Bison, Vega is Balrog and M. Bison is Vega...

Well they changed Vega to M. Bison, so they decided to change it to fit the other characters personnality. Balrog is a better name for a big boxer than Vega IMO.

Did any of those changes followed in the japanese sequels? Or did they just occured in foreign (US and European) versions?

Hmm.. just give me Megaman and Captain Commando... along with Joe, of course.

What is the fascination Capcom has with the name Joe, by the way?

Commando -- stars Super Joe

Bionic Commando -- you rescure Super Joe

Viewtiful Joe -- you are Joe.

Explain me how they can use CVS2 sprites for the shotos when they have the best sprites ever on SF III !!!!
Click to expand...

To go with the game theme. They're using the style/sprites from what game the character is coming from (Why chunli is 3S sprites)

So what the fuck is this, exactly?

They ran out of other companies to have VS games with, so now it's just Capcom VS. Capcom?

And why the fuck are they still using those god-awful lowres sprites? It's 2004..... Right?

It looks awful. Time to start something new, Capcom..... *cough*jerkoffs*cough cough*

Since it's basically a full rehash and Capcom's first fighter in 2 years or so, I hope they grab at least 5-10 characters from each of the five games. I think a roster the size of the best KoF rosters is what's needed here.

You're kidding, right? In order to make this interesting they would need to pull EVERY character from EVERY game to be worth a glance. This would need to DWARF the 56 characters of MvC2. If there's 80-100 characters, I MIGHT start to get interested in 2D fighter # 29231413. So how many are in this game?

Bleh, when I saw that Dimitri sprite I thought that maybe Capcom had redone all the sprites...and then I look at Rose. Oh well, should've known

What's the fucking point of this game, anyway?

No, since high res sprites take A LOT of time, and you people never fucking buy the games to begin with.

Yeah, we don't buy 'em because they're using the same goddamn sprites from when we were in middle school!

And irony of Guilty Gear is that they're going on their third game (fourth if you count Reload) and using the same sprites/animations for the old characters, but no one complains because they're in hi-res...

The game theme ??

I'll tell ya my theory. Sunk Costs Theory.

A long time ago, a company called CAPCOM decided to make a Capcom vs SNK game. They rehashed a lot of sprites but since 75% of people uses shotos they decided to remake them...

The result was good but far away from the quality of SF 3...but they thought...hell we spend efforts on them...let's use THEM !!!!

And that's how the story ends.


Bye Bye Sf3 sprites.
