I wondered when the new capcom versus would come out. this is gonna be interesting, considering namco's "special motions" format...
 
so, there's going to be two versions of the game, tekken with sf characters and sf4 with tekken characters?

now as long as they don't do something stupid like put one version on one system and the other on the other system i guess it can be interesting?
 
As the most milked fighting series in history, with Capcom releasing more updates, special editions, spin-offs etc, and being a huge fan of Tekken and Virtua Fighter, I am strongly in the opinion that Street Fighter has had it's day. If they had only released one sequel to SF2 - the Super Edition - and not bothered with any of that Alpha rubbish, I probably would have had more respect for the series and Capcom. As it is, while I enjoyed the original SF2 and it's Super edition, I can't bring myself to spend money on the latest incarnation for my PS3. Idon't care how good it supposedly is, I refuse to give more money to Capcom knowing how much they have made from daft punters who bought all the different versions of the SF series.
I just hope that with the next Tekken game, Namco will recapture the gameplay of Tekken 3.
So Tekken vs SF? No contest. Tekken rules. But at the moment, the best fighting game on my PS3 is still VF5.

EDIT: Oh bugger, I think I misinterpreted the title of this thread. Thought it was just a game comparison. Sega tried this with their Virtua Fighter and Fighting Vipers games. As I said elsewhere, the games worked fine on their own, but failed as a combined fighting game. I think it will either have the Tekken characters becoming too OTT to blend in with th SF universe, or the SF characters being dumbed down to blend in with the Tekken universe. Either way, it won't work.

This much like Capcom VS SNK and SNK VS Capcom, Same idea different makers!

It's very exciting however I am interesting in the Namco version. The first Video was intense.

Now where is the Resident Evil Metal Gear cross over?
 
After being suckered into buy the gimped version of SF4 only to release a far superior version less than a year later, i'm done with the street fighter series..I'll leave my fond memories of SF with the SNES version of SF2.
 
if capcom took the time to dig up obscure characters from "tatsunoko", of whom americans have probably ONLY heard of "G-Force", then bothered to port it over here...

nero: you think only Hollywood is out of ideas?

Havok: i don't call "nintendo hard" fond memories. i STILL haven't seen any endings
 
Capcom is really prostituting all thing Street Fighter latley, they anounced Street Fighter 3 Third Strike Online edition with user feedback for features and changes...

When I heard of SSF4 I was thinking it was was an expansion. This is why I am more interested in Tekken X SF........
 
It seems that a few of you agree with the first half of my post above. My first taste of SF2 was on my pal's SNES. I owned a Megadrive so I had to wait for my version, and was thrilled when it came and was superior to the SNES one(apart from the sound). Capcom should STOP milking the SF series. We will not be conned anymore.

For crossover games, I still say a Tomb Raider/Uncharted one would be the mut's nuts.
 
Street Fighter vs. Tekken will probably be pretty awesome (though the lack of projectiles on the Tekken side will be interesting to balance out), and Tekken vs. Street Fighter will probably be pretty crap.

With that said, though, I don't plan on getting either one. MvC3 is far more interesting to me, and this not being "Capcom vs. Namco" (or at the very least Street Fighter vs. Soul Caliber) makes it pretty much pointless in my eyes. Neither series really lends itself well to the other one; and fans for the most part hate one or the other. I'd rather have CvS3, personally.
 
well, SF IS capcom's original cash Cow. i read they've tossed Morrigan out, finally, and threw in felicia. you know how they slipped the Okami boss in Tatsunoko vs? Amaterasu HERSELF is supposed to be in this one!!

something I'd look foreward to: US Bison/JP Vega versus Heiachi! talk about the biggest ego battle in the universe :P

I think you may be confused with news relating to MvC3. In that game, Amaterasu has already been confirmed to be one of the characters. And Morrigan and Felicia are both confirmed for that game to.
 
Here's a few ideas too:

Tekken vs Virtua Fighter.
Tekken vs Soulcaliber. The SC guys wouldn't automatically win just cost they've got weapons - look at Yoshimitsu. He was rubbish.
Virtua Fighter vs Soulcaliber
Streetfighter vs Mortal Kombat

Not too bothered about the last one - just thought it'd be interesting seeing Sub-Zero performing a fatality on Ken and seeing the grin wiped off his smug face.
 
well, I just read that a release date is estimated to still be 2 years away (in time for Gran Turismo 6?!!). So i guess we'll be enjoying these vids for awhile lol

plus they'll make capcom vs namco eventually. how else are they gonna milk this right?
 
Streetfighter vs Mortal Kombat

In my opinion, the only two fighting games that mean anything. I'd buy it, or maybe....Streetfighter Vs Mortal Kombat Vs Marvel Vs DC 💡 :lol:

I still say that the SF and Mortal Kombat series should have been fondly remembered as the best 2D fighting games ever, and left at that. Both of them for different reasons.
They should never have been brought back as 3D games because frankly 2D fighting games don't work well in 3D - you can say what you want about the new SF, but it is still a 2D fighting game in 3D clothes.
Not just fighting games either - look at Sonic The Hedgehog. Never been a decent one since Sonic 3 on the Megadrive.
This era belongs to Tekken, Virtua Fighter and Soulcaliber.
I'd be interested in playing the HD remake of SF2, and a MK one if they do it.
But I wouldn't touch the new SF.
 
According to Ono that Capcom will be working on SF vs Tekken. But Namco will be working on Tekken Vs Street Fighter. By the looks of it, it will have its tag system from Tekken Tag or TvC. Capcom still has to release Street Fighter ThirdStrike on PSN and XBLA

Ono mentioned to Famitsu Magazine that we shouldnt expect a release of SFxT for at least two years, putting it sometime in 2012. He also noted that Namco's version would come sometime after that, and that we won't get any more news of SFxT until Captivate 2011 (which if you remember is where we got the first Marvel vs Capcom 3 announcement).
Super Street Fighter IV is pretty good but not beating its roots from SF2. HDR will give you a good footies, zoning game but it too strict on movement notation. So everything has to be exact.
SSFIV is forgiving than HDR but its all HYPE!
Shoryuken.com
- The game features a wakeup roll system similar to TvC or MvC3, where you can roll forward or back instead of getting straight up.

- Kazuya has a move or two that go under/through fireballs

- The game features chain combos, as you can clearly see Ryu doing Jab Strong Roundhouse then cancelling into his tag-team ultra with Chun.

- Tag Team Ultras seem like canned animations, similar to Rival Schools team combos.
but also, Capcom has to work on the Arcade version of SSFIV, including new characters and new outfits..I wish that they will lower the price on some of them. Alot of fans were kind of disappointed that Capcom didn't use GGPO's netcode but an improved SFIV netcode....BlazBlue:CS has the best netcode so far.
Mortal Kombat was consider 3d with a 2d plane. It was new technology with MK than the SF sprites.
Capcom vs SNk and SNK vs Capcom are the same game though CVS: Chaos was done entirely different IMO.
As for MVC3, Trish,Thor is also confirmed and being talked about on SrK. Lastely, I think that they will be making a new Virtual Fighter...Well don't forget about the game Namco X Capcom.

Harada-san was at Evo2010 seeing the Tekken scene with Ono-san. I passed by S-Killian, Justin Wong, Daigo, Gootecks, Marn, and Ed Ma during those days. I was in the same playing pool as Marn and Ed Ma but I couldn't face him.

I haven't seen anything about Virtua Fighter since sega was still in the console business. I think Tekken might be the winner of the 3d fighting wars (thus, the crossover with SF, the winner of the 2d fighters).

if they were gonna do anything more with Soul Caliber, I think we'd have heard something else new by now. considering they had to licence Star Wars characters to revive interest, i think it's about done (the plot seems to be resolved, anyway). the only thing left is a Dream Match type setup with all the SCers thrown together.

a personal ultimate crossover would be Samurai Spirits/Shodown Vs Soul Caliber. imagine the boss brawl between Amamkusa and Nightmare!

Erm what planet you been on? Virtua Fighter 4 was released on PS2 and Virtua Fighter 5 was a PS3 launch game, followed a number of months later by a release on Xbox 360. For me it is still the best 3D fighting series ever made: no flashy special moves that involve daft projectiles and crackling thunder. Just plain fighting based on real moves and all the better for it.
Only decent Tekken games were Tekken 3 on PS1, and Dark Resurrection on PSP. Tekken 6 was ok, but nothing special.

planet real life, acually. by the time I noticed, and could afford to change console generations, the fighting Genre had faded into the background, arcades had turned into ticket machines, and their companies were dying.
 
As much as you guys don't like Super Street fighter, it couldn't be any worse then the whoring of the Dragon Ball z series by Atari
 
Will be trading in SC4 for this one the day I see it in the store. Very excited, I hope it features online and some kind of in-depth campaign mode (so to speak). Definitely the biggest fighter of recent years in my opinion. 👍

So Planet Real Life means "nothing outside of America?"

Would probably explain Angel/Devil in tekken 2 or Ogre's Flamethrower and Don's farting.
There was DOA series...

I love Super Street Fighter IV. I do not see how it could be worst fighting game than DBZ. If you though that SSFIV was bad, I don't see you complaining about the infinite's in MvC2 or in various games. Captain Commando's Anti-air assist taking of all of the vertical screen with Sentinel's power and fly/unfly combo's is very dangerous.

*note : some foul language at the end but you can't hear it clearly...

and Dark Resurrection on PSP.


Thats was also on Ps2 and PS3 and better on PS3. Ps2 version was good too as it included Tekken 1/2/3! That was the definitive version. But going back to older versions you can see how gameplay has evolved and the old ones feel nearly unplayable "compared" to the modern versions. I never played 4 or 6.
 
Toronado: no as in "nothing outside of WORK". i was lucky, at the time, to get on the net on a Saturday for a couple hours (on a DIALUP connection)

Marchi: DBZ Boudakai, you mean? well, considering who did the releasing (Atari)....

I'll stick with my Samurai Shodown Anthology right now. since they're changing the current consoles to a 10 year cycle, I won't be able to afford a replacement anytime soon.
