Capcom Fighting Joke video!
Glad Dimitri is in it, just for some Midnight Pleasure. I want to see the dinosaur in a skirt.
I added the trailer to the first post.
Ok. Does it look dated? Yes. Is it going to be fun? Well, judging from the trailer it's no SvC Chaos in terms of quality, thats for sure (This is a VERY good thing). The initial character list is fairly shitty (Chun-Li grouped with SFIII? What the Hell..), but with "more than 20 characters" on board, it can improve greatly. I'm looking forward to it because I like Capcom 2-D fighters. Nuff' said.
PS: Ingrid at the end was hilarious in a "Who gives a shit/Who the Hell are you?" way.
Slip, you contradict yourself from what you said in the DOA:U thread. My brain hurts...
Uhhh.....Explain? I didn't even mention Fighting Jam in the DOAU thread.
Oh wow, I was sort-of intrigued when I glanced at the first pics, but that video just pains me. I didn't realize the Warzard character were animated so primitively. And I really hate the SNK-like portrait art.

Before Werewolf wishes for it to happen...
Talbain is already in a background, so he's probably not in the cast of fighters.
Other people in the background include Deejay, Cody, Birdie, Sean, Cammy, and... MAJOR SHOCKER.... Ken!!!
One of the pics also looks like it has Dan getting on a bus.
All that info was ripped off of mmcafe.com, I feel shamed :(
Crap and THANK THE LORDS!Quote:

I'm not at all impressed by this...
At least Guy is in the roster, which almost makes up for the rest of the game looking like ass. Looks pretty much CvS2 with warzard characters.
You know, this could have been cool if they included every character from every Capcom fighting game and just tossed out play balance because the thing is bound to be completely screwed there anyway. They could have done that and probably without much effort, but of course this is Capcom, where you can't even save in SF2 Hyper.
Cash. Run.
See, I'm the same way there...Quote:

That said, I fucking want this game NOW!!! I really hope it's jam-packed with even more characters than Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 had.
Get in line.Quote:

Doesn't look to bad to me. I'm actually excited about a new 2-D fighter, so I'll leave it at that until I play the thing.Quote:

That being said, I can't wait for it to be released! YES! MORE FIGHTING GOODNESS FROM CAPCOM!
GGXX #R is doing amazing in japan. It is still $50, which, considering its basically a patch. Just because american's don't like it doesn't mean it completely flops. What balanced technical fighting games ever do good here anyhow?
You got a point. Fighting games here generally turn into "who finds the holes first".Quote:

It's true that capcom can reuse their old sprites and the current fans will continue to buy it, but it's definately not going to help attract new fans. Unless they attract the youngins, we aren't going to be getting many more of these games.
At least in chicago arcades I saw the younger crowd playing more guilty gear, and I'm sure the initial draw had something to do with the graphics.
I think that SFIII did attract a lot of the younger crowd to 2D fighters, but since then they haven't had huge leap in their 2D fighters in regards to content or graphics.
Well, I think they can either go with good graphics, or over the top action. MvC2 is a hideous game, not to mention an awful game, but people love it, I can only assume it's because of the huge amount of ridiculous stuff that can happen onscreen at once. It also has the draw of most likely containing one of your favorite characters, assuming you like comic books or play Capcom fighting games. I don't like the game but I can see the appeal... I guess.Quote:

Too bad there's so many people who are willing to eat up whatever recycled mess Capcom will shit out for them.
Yeah they better have a bunch more characters from each series, two from each game is really weak... especially since there are so many others I'd like to see in this game :\
Marvel is crack for fighting gamers pure and simple. Some love, some hate it, but either way, it's got fans aplenty. I love the game. absolutely love it for its sheer madness. I have lost thousands upon thousands of matches and still try and run low tier against the big guns...it doesn't matter as long as you don't take it too seriously.Quote:

Heh, I loved MSH, XMvSF, MSHvSF, and the first MvC... the sequel just doesn't do it for me. The problem is, a lot of people do take it seriously, too seriously, and refuse to expand their horizons beyond it. An example is a lot of the kids in my dorm last semester. MvC2 was the only fighting game they'd play and it made me insane, until I met another kid or two who liked Guilty Gear. Got to play a lot of Third Strike down at the MIT arcade until they took the cab away, so that was alright too, I guess.Quote:

I'd like to say I'd believe that'd be the case, but I have trouble thinking that. There are still too many systems going on here. I just want a good, solid fighter with one "system"... custom combos, 3 supers, 1 super, parries, I don't care. Just as long as there's one system and everyone uses it. Sure, it was cool in SFA3 and CvS2, but not every game needs it. In this game, it looks like everyone will be playing like they did in their respective games, and I don't know how that'll mesh.Quote:

Hideous sprites and lack of effort aside, I'll be trying this game when it comes out, but I still think I'll be going back to SF3 and leaving this one alone.
I don't know, it just seems to me as though capcom is passing by a golden opportunity to make a high res marvel (or xmen) game that would get just about everyone's attention. Kids today are stupid, and won't look past a game's graphics if they suck, so if they would be able to pull it off they could increase their 2D fighter fanbase quite a bit.
I'll be kind of sad if Ken isn't in the game. I hate Ryu, HAAAAAAAATE Akuma, but I like Ken. Don't know why, but I do. I like to play him, but I'm not one of those people who thinks your main offense should be a fireball, so I can excuse myself.
I want MvC2 Jill. If we get Jill, I'd be happy. I'd just like to see more of a variety of characters. Don't just do Capcom fighting games - add characters from all Capcom games.
I feel the same way. They lost the MvC "feeling" when they did part 2.Quote:

Anyway, I'd like to see them in this game, maybe paired with one other RE and Star Gladiator character each. I remember having lists of characters I'd love to see in Capcom 2D fighters, but I won't even talk about them now, it's too depressing.
Wait, they don't? Why not? I don't remember her from any of the AvP comic books or anything... I thought the humans in that game were original characters. If Capcom doesn't own them, who does?Quote:

If they were going to upgrade, it would've been evident in this pre-alpha version.Quote:

Who knows though, maybe they will branch out to some none fighters and at least have the same amount of "new sprite" characters as Capcom vs. SNK 2.
As far as future games, I hope that the talk that they had with gamers a little while ago will go into practice soon.
I don't care about "new sprite" characters -- I want to see the entire engine feature new/old characters under a new srpite engine. C'mon Capcom, quit being lazy. :(
I agree with you there. I thought that the long fighter gap would have been used to do just that. Who knows, maybe it is, but Capcom is releasing this for those who really can't wait for their redefined engine, or they may just be releasing a game to keep their characters in people minds.
Though it was canned, Capcom Fighting All-Stars did show that Capcom was exploring other ways to present it's fighters (alas the made the mistake of going 3D when they really weren't ready to).
So there's still hope that a new engine will appear eventually.
Capcom and redefined engine isn't going to ever apply in a new sentence (at least, not until they've squandered more of their long-time fans).
Capcom All-Stars wasn't really nothing new either, it was just introducing a marquee of favorite/obscure characters in a polished SF EX engine.
I don't mean to shoot down your optimism, but let's be honest with ourselves and analyze their track record. That engine isn't appearing in Fighting Jam, and it's naive to assume otherwise.
Capcom should own the rights to her, but (I think) it's something about her being part of the AVP universe (which Capcom doesn't have the rights to) or something like that...Quote:

I want something I can really mess with...I know a lot of people feel the GG franchise is all about eye-candy and button mashing, but there is a lot of technicality in the system and there is a great balance esp in reload. I mean the FRC/RC idea is genious and adds unbelievable depth to the game -- I want Capcom to take this same sort of care and initiative in its new 2-D stuff. Give us new engine, glitch free, with really solid play mechanics. It can be simple, sure, but make it solid and inventive.
The funny thing is, I bet Sammy will do a much better job with the Capcom characters than Capcom has in a long time...either way, I'll give fighting jam a chance (here's hoping for a hidden appearance by BB Hood and Jill -- my favorite MvC2 character).
It was using a completely unpolished version of the Project Justice engine. Get your facts straight. :pQuote:

Maybe there's some big surprise about this game they're holding back, it's only 30% done after all, but why the heck are they showing it that early anyway? Arc Systems and SNK only show their fighters when they're ready to be beta tested. I can only think they're doing it to test the interest level, or lack thereof, and have an excuse to can it and get out of 2D fighters completely.
I have to agree there. The first MvC is a lot better.Quote:

Unlimited Assist Attacks are another wrench thrown in the works- Capcom should have kept them to a set amount as in the first game. As for using Zangief or Colossus- FORGET IT.
MvC 2 left me with a bad case of the K.I. Feeling.

None of the serious 2D fighters play MvC , XvsSF or MSHvSF because they are so damn broken. MvC2 is broken, but when played with top tier it becomes a whole new game.
Unfortunately, like normal MvC2 play, that one isn't fun either. :(Quote:

Wait wait...did you say MUKURO, ROSE, ALEX and JEDAH?!
*screams like a little girl*
Where'd you read this at, 7F?
I can't believe it.....it's like someone actually LISTENED to me.
Famitsu, via Madman's Cafe, I believe.
And SCREW Rose. She's not a star. She shouldn't represent the A series. There are so many characters people want SO much more. Adon, Gen, KARIN, or even Rolento would have had me spraying joy juice all over the place right about now.
Anyway, I won't complain too much, I'm just saying that Rose is a disappointment. Karin has seen ONE game appearance and she's the one of the top 5 most popular Street Fighter characters EVER, according to Capcom of Japan's official SF site, so please, give the fans what they want. It's not that hard when you're just frankensteining your little MUGEN games together anyway.
Mukuro's in it. I AM getting it.
I can't wait to see them water Alex down to the point of ineffectiveness and chop about 30% of his animation the way that they did Yun in CVS2 :(
Capcom is gonna hold back the character roster...so they can bring us Capcom Fighting Jam 2. We will bitch and moan...and then buy it anyway.

There's just one more thing I need to hear. I need to hear that Capcom is going to toss in a few non-fighting game characters, and bring back somebody they already have finished sprites for. I just need to hear the name "Jill Valentine," and all will be right with this game.
Heh, I read "Alex, Rose" way too fast. For a second there I though Axl Rose was going to be in the game. :p

I'm pretty sure that Capcom Fighting Jam is a big hint of the limitations as far as the roster is concerned.
Or perhaps it is simply an indicator of what the Capcom characters will be doing.Quote:

That's also why characters will have STATIC grooves that fit the game that they come from.
It seems like if they were shooting for something as ambitious as you guys are hoping for, they would work on the game from the ground up, and not rehash half of the sprites.
I don't even believe the Warzard sprites are new. We just haven't seen them yet because Red Earth/Warzard hasn't been released stateside.
The only new character so far is Ingrid, so the most realistic hidden characters are gonna be DD or someone else from CFAS.
I'll give you that Dante has perhaps the best chance of making it out of anyone, simply because Capcom can't whore him out in games enough. But even THAT is about as remote of a possibility as I can imagine.
Don't get me wrong, I'd be elated if someone like VJ appeared in the game. I'm just saying that I don't think it will never happen. The way I look at it, it's better not to expect or hope for it, and be pleasantly surprised, than to be disappointed when Capcom releases another patched together game with a somewhat uninspired cast.
If they did release characters from other genres, what grooves would they fit into? Where would they go. Once again, the grooves/isms are static for whatever game the character comes from.
Part of the reason for this is that it's easier to test the characters and there is less of a chance that there will be exploitable loopholes, so the programming end of the game is a great deal easier.
I'm not being a jerk about this, I'm just being realistic. I'm not trying to PWN anyone either, that's not my goal, I just don't want to see you guys get your hopes up and get TRULY 'PWNED' by Capcom.
In an ideal world, where overall character popularity or "oh, we HAVE to include Ryu because he represents Street Fighter, even though everyone's sick of him" bullshit didn't figure into the decision, here's the roster I'd love to see for this game:
Morrigan (Darkstalkers)
Ibuki (SF3)
Tabatha (Red Earth)
Jedah (Darkstalkers)
Predator Hunter (AvP)
Strider (duh)
Cammy (SF)
Psylocke (MvC2)
Jill Valentine (RE)
Bilstein (Star Galdiator)
Vile (Megaman X3)
Guy (SFA)
Haggar (FF)
Scorpion (Saturday Night Slam Masters)
Lin Kurisowa (AvP)
Huitzul (Darkstalkers)
Pyron (Darkstalkers)
Rose (SFA)
Ken (SF)
Dante (DMC)
Venom (MvC)
Tiffany (Project Justice)
Roy (Project Justice)
Kyoko (Project Justice)
Kaede (Onimusha)
Samanosuke (Onimusha)
Regina (Dino Crisis)
Tron Bonne (Mega Man Legends)
Solo (Strider)
Guildenstern (Onimusha)
Poison (FF)
Lucia (Dungeons and Dragons)
Ginzu the Ninja (Captain Commando)
Licker (RE2)
Dr. Doom (MvC2)
Spiderman (MvC)
Falcon (Powerstone)
Protoman (Megaman)
I always loved it when Capcom would include the occasional obscure character or character from a game of a totally different genre in their fighting games. I'd like to se more of that, as my list shows.
