Description This is related to my latest journal: [link]

"Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars", other than an international release, has also been a nice upgrade to "Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes "

But I have a little complaint... Not enough characters!
All the Marvel VS Capcom versions had more characters (other than Xmen vs Street fighter!)
And this game got no excuse, it is 3D, meaning easier/faster to work on over a complex modern sprite! (the reason why everybody other than SNK and Arc System went 3D nowadays....)

The cast's already pretty nice, but i would have liked a bit more, just a tiny bit more.
Here's my own ADDITINAL CHARACTERS and my explanation in this comment....

(I'm talking from an European point of view, were other Tatsunoko series are known over the Speed Racers-only in America)

Hakushon Daimaō from "The Genie Family". He was cut from this new release.... He was inTatsunoko VS Capcom's first release and was cut...for no reason (there's tons of excuse/rumors...). Also called Bob in a bottle or Robert in France. He was one of Tatsunoko old school more populars characters and was shown across Europe (France, Spain, Portugal...) and Arabic countries (Egypt,...)

On Capcom side's I would have liked to see Zangief! Why? Good analogue big powerful character! Also has been in non-Street fighter games! He's in POCKET FIGHTER! A SD Capcom fighter!

I would have liked to see all the 5 Gatchaman!! Why?? Because it's Tatsunoko most well known series! And those other 2 heroes would have played pretty different from the already 3 Gatchamen! Don't forget there's gonna be a brand new CGi Gatchaman movie from Imagi studios soon! And in Marvel VS Capcom crossovers there's like all the AVENGERS team!!

2 Action/Survival Capcom would have been nice over the other Gatchamen, and since zombies related Jill was already used in the last VS, a Devil May Cry (not a fan but you gotta recon' the popularity) and Dino Crisis characters would have been nice!

Racer X from Speed Racers! Now I'm not a fan of this show, but you gotta acknowledge its popularity in America! There's been a modern live american movie, an US 3D show... America loves Speed Racer (or only knows this Tatsunoko franchise), and since I can't imagine the kid fighting, RACER X could have made it, even using his car in Ultra attacks!

Nathan-the bionic commando- could have make a quite interesting fighting character. Like Racer X, using his originality in attacks! He could have used his recent look or old school one, I like both!

Samurai Pizza Cats... Probably Tatsunoko's most well known show over the whole world! Not as popular as Speed Racer or loved as Gatchaman but even more spread over all countries! There's been said that Tatsunoko didn't let Capcom use them.. not this time? Only Yattarô would have been needed! The others, like with Doronjo, could have been used in Ultras!

Sexy Silvia? Yep! Another Viewtful Joe! Is that a problem?? The cast lacks some feminine representants... She could have been used in duo with Joe!

Now's the funny but interesting ones!

Pinocchio - one of the early most loved series from Pinocchio! Don't know it? you're probably too young... This show has been around in the end 70's and was one of my favorite Pinocchio's interpretations! I'm hearing you guys cry "BUT!... It's lame!" What? the wooden doll lame?? Imagine his attacks! He could have been quite funny! The show's very well known to us, 20s-something! It has been shown in America, France, Spain, Italy, Russia, Egypt, China, England,etc... One of the early Tatsunoko productions to be shown outside japan! He deserved it!
EVEN the opening's AWESOME! same tune in most languages

And finally, equally funny, Capcom's first mascot, Captain Commando! Used a lot in Capcom's merchandising, game manuals, ads,etc.. And had an decent beat 'em all game... He was in Marvel VS Capcom and should have been here too!

Now, what d'you guys and gals think? Other ideas? Agree? Comment below!

Also, I think the reason we have few characters and other stuff is because the game is already over-budget from all the licenses. Considering how much money they had to pay for in the US, Europe and Australia for separate Tatsunoko licenses, they had to cut down on some characters (especially Hakushon, whom they couldn't get in) as well as other stuff like the animated endings, bios, minigames and so on. Might sound like an excuse, but also the most probably and logical reason. And gameplay is more important that extra contents, yes?

Nope! The Crossover series is full of colored fun character! And known for its VARIOUS licenses and number of characters -__-
That's my only complaint! We went from Marvel vs. Capcom 2' 56 characters to...uh, 20 something?

The budget isn't really a real excuse, all characters/series are owned to Tatsunoko. that's capcom excuse but not the official one... More of an agreement and what Tatsunoko wanted to see in game (plus they are lazy creating the 3D models.. look at all the new SuperSF4 characters!)

The intro, different endings etc.. is because this game's actually Tatsunoko VS Capcom 2 officially! this new online version was released in Japan as well, you know!

For Hakushon Daimaō, or Robert as he was known in the french language the unofficial reason was because he was considered a racist stereotype in America (same reason this [link] happened to Popo in Dragon Ball in the USA)

Well, to be fair, Marvel and SNK all fell under one property (Not sure if Marvel cartoons and movies count, but I doubt it), while different companies in the US and Europe had the rights for separate Tatsunoko properties. If it wasn't for that, it wouldn't have been that expensive, since they need to pay the respective license holders of each country. That, and stick with the far more popular characters in Japan's terms (as SPC and Speed Racer weren't really that popular in Japan) and a small varied cast, and bam.

I can see what you mean about the models. Tonzura and Boyaky are some of the least detailed designs compared to the playable characters. But again, I barely care. Looks fine enough to me (which might be a bad thing if poor quality is passed off like it's a good thing). And I can't really start comparing Wii graphics to 360 graphics, as I know little about that.

Racist reasons? First time I heard of that.

SPC isn't that more popular than a lot of other Tatsunoko proprieties, like I said in my comment up there if you checked it
But it is one of the most spread series!

Graphic wise, it's pretty good! No complaint there!
Only in roster for me! It sure ain't no HD resolution but models & animations are great!

Racist reasons>That rumored reason seems to be popular amongst fans... You know how the rating system people are difficult to please nowadays and always complain about everything.. Poor Popo

Hehehe! Sweet! I'm still waiting to see whether or not Phoenix Wright will make it as one of the possible DLCs or not, as that'd be cool! OBJECTION!!!

Did you see one of Zangief's new alternate costumes in SSFIV? It's pretty much him as a Mazinger Z version of himself. I think they dubbed him as Mecha Zang F!

theEyZmaster In reply to Frobman [2010-02-06 22:32:33 +0000 UTC]

I did not include "Phoenix Wright" cause I was picking a Tatsunoko and a Capcom related somehow and characters that could fight!

Yep! I've seen the alternate costumes! Nice Colossus-like Zangief!

What d'you think of my additional roster up there?

DLC characters?? I would bet on that.. knowing Capcom, what has been made DLC on most games until now and Wii-usual DLC... Don't count on that- be realistic!

Now in a future Tatsunoko Vs Capcom 3... Who knows!?

Frobman In reply to theEyZmaster [2010-02-06 22:38:53 +0000 UTC]

Well, I certainly like to see the rest of the Gatchaman, and long before hearing of the new roster, I did want Bionic Commando or Captain Commando in, too. I figured Dante would've made it without a hitch due to all of the demands he got (and yet, no Dante...)

Well, they said that there might be DLC content, if they got the "Green light" from Nintendo. All they've revealed is adding in characters they've long considered including in, but didn't have the time or figure how to work their game mechanics (Phoenix especially). Only 2 from Capcom and Tatsunoko each are considered for DLC: Phoenix Wright, Ingrid, Nurse Witch Komugi and Muteking. Can't say it'll happen 100%, but I sure like the idea of playing the plucky attorney in the game.

I may just tell you that they already said that back then with SF4... And look at that, we got a new game instead of characters DLC!

When I said "be realistic" I meant: Character DLC never really happens for fighting games! Look at Tekken, SF, KOF... It only happened with Soul Calibur (yoda, Darth vader) because the characters were already on the disc and it was in fact an activation! plus Capcom isn't big on DLC...

Most DLC is stuff activated on the games, only some rare games with exploration and repetitive textures/levels/background offered that (Assassin's Creed, Fallout).
A entirely new character/model/animation? no chance!

Anyway, I can wait alater proper sequel with more characters! the MARVEL vs Capcom series had a ton, so... (see pic in my journal )
