Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom |scans| [PS3]

This game has 4 buttons, configured in this layout:

(A)(B)©
(T)

(A) = Weak Attack
(B) = Medium Attack
© = Heavy Attack
(T) = Tag [sometimes called (P) for Partner, but its the same button]

(T) = Assist
Back+(T) = Tag out
(Attack)+(T) = Baroque Activation (uses all of your red life)
QCF+(T) = Aircombo Tag (uses 1 level of meter)
(A)+(B)+© = Dash shortcut (hold Up+Forward and do this to Instant Air Dash)
(A)+(B)+© while guarding = Advance Guard (Push Block)
(A)+(B)+©+(T) = Mega Crush (A combo breaker, takes 2 levels of meter and some Yellow life)
QCD+(T) while guarding = Variable Counter (an alpha counter tag, takes one meter)Some moves:

Assist - Partner/Tag button

Switch Character - 4 + Tag

Baroque - Tag + Any Attack
If you have any red remaining in your life bar, you are able to sacrifice the rest of the red bar with an attack cancel that will power you up shortly based on the length of the bar you sacrificed.

Aerial Rave - 23 + Strong
Same concept as Marvel, but everyone\'s Aerial Rave is now performed with Down + Strong.

Variable Aerial Rave - 236 + Tag
Switches out a character during an air combo - the light glow that some people may have noticed during the Chun Li switch out portions of the promotional video were probably picking up on the Variable Aerial Raves... It uses up one bar.

Variable Combination - Tag during a Hyper Combo

Variable Counter - 412 + Tag
An Alpha-counter like assist maneuver.

Mega Crush - All 4 attack buttons
A strong attack that uses up two bars and some life...

Trailer

A Japanese only release, still it\'s well worth importing if you are a fan of Capcom fighters and the original animes. I am praying it features the Samurai Pizza Cats Samurai Pizza Cats vs Strider, or Megaman!

Never heard of tatsunoko before, still might be getting it though. Good thing the PS3 is region free.

Oooo. the title is fucked in the recent posts bar.

Maybe it's a little before your time but I bet you have seen one of their cartoons though.

The Shenkiro Art looks gorgeous and far better than what you see in SF4. It should include a host of the best characters from both companies

Samurai Pizza Cats

The only ones I've seen are Samurai Pizza Cats and Neon Genesis Evangelion but I doubt any Evangelion characters will be in the game.

Personally I think Soul Taker, Tekkaman, Tekkaman Blade, and Karas are all locks. The article is very specific that they're going for Tatsunoko HEROES vs Capcom to continue the series that started with X-men vs Street Fighter. Don't expect to see random anime stuff, they're focusing on the HERO branding.

Where's Ken and Megaman?

I am definitely going to import a copy of this on PS3, it looks brilliant. I love the art style and wild combo system.

The quality of the above trailer sucks, the game in fact looks gorgeous as the posted screens show.

The super moves look next level, like something out of DBZ.

SAMURAI PIZZA CATS FOR THE FUCKING WIN!!!!! God I loved that show. "Who do you call when you want some pepperoni?"

It would be great if it does come to Wii. It\'s very much in the MvC mould.

Now to wait and see if it makes it over here. Thinking about it, I'd much rather have this than SF4 on Wii.

It's hard to tell whether they are in the game because of the quality of the trailer, but it's a safe bet given their popularity in Japan.

Yeah everyone in Japan loves cats. So they must be there.

I really don't care for Polly or Speedy, my favorite has got to be Guido. The Parasol of DOOM pwns all gotta love nostalgia

It would be a big shame if they were not, I would like to think size wont be a issue, I doubt it is, look at Megaman in M vs C. I\'ve noticed in one level there is a Mech of one in the background, maybe that\'s their level.

If it\'s like Marvel Vs Capcom maybe you have to pick all three if you pick one.

Dude, are you like the real Jonathan Wendel? LOL

WOAH That looks awsome I use to watch Samurai Pizza Cats

I hope this game comes to EU since we Nintey fans aren't getting SF4 I think we at least deserve this, No?

Yes.

Best Ryu Stage ever imo. Gotta love the remixed Ryu stage music from the SF2 original

Again, where is Ken? D:

I really hope double snaps make a return. And flash chops seem reaaly slooow.

Goddamn separate American copyrights. THEY RUINED OUR CHANCES OF GETTING DREAM MIX TV WORLD FIGHTERS AND NOW THEY'RE RUINING THIS.

FFFFFF.

The game looks beautiful, really eye catching, the only people I know from the Tasunoko side are G-Force, but that wouldn't stop me from buying it.

It just all looks so cool.

I used to love Battle of the Planets as a kid. It's great to see G-Force in this. I love G-Force.

It's too long ago for most of you to remember though.

I want this game soo much.

Its a fucking awesome game!, one with really beautiful graphics and sound. You need to see it up close, It has amazing polish throughout. The animation can make anyone drop their jaw. It\'s quite mesmerizing at times how cool things look. Even the very smallest of things are done with great style.

It seems to be arcade perfect except for a few minor issues, none of which hamper the game. Load times are non existent though. The controls take some getting used unfortunately. The truth is they feel dumbed down, a let down for seasoned players of 6 button fighters like myself. The game instead makes use of only 4 buttons, well 3 really without the T button (Assist). But this is certainly no dire Capcom Vs SNK 2 EO (easy operation). This game is awesome fun, just like MvC2 & Co was back in the day. It does seem as though the game was made with younger players in mind, and that\'s what pisses me off. It still has loads of depth with tactical play, and truly some of the best fun you can have on Wii with 2 players. I\'m on the way to unlocking VJ

SO FAR- Love it - 8.2/10 < It might hit 8.5 if I discover depth with time. Review on the way. I could end up giving it near to a 9 if it continues to impress.

Easily the best fighter on Wii, if you discount Samurai Shodown 2 on VC.

What are you running the game on? You using homebrew?

I'm in really need of a decent fighting game, might consider importing this. Can't wait to read your review LS.

I bought a Japanese Wii four months back. Only way to be sure I get decent games when I want them from here on in.

You should get Samurai Shodown 2 on Virtual Console while you wait. Read a review or two to see how good it is. I will Blog it next week.
