Tatsunoko vs. Capcom (the sequel topic)

[HokutoNoBen]

This has got to be the longest and stupidest "tomayto, tomahto" discussion I ever got into.  

Haaaaahn~? And here I was, thinking the "re: dash canceling" dialogue we had so many months ago was much more involved than this. 


But seriously, all things aside...the basic thing should be that: since, in this here topic, we're basically doing more to specifically talk about a Fighting Game, as opposed to the individual series where some of those characters may have come from?

Real talk, relating to FGs/FG-related conventions = Top tier
Everything else = Mid - Low

Armament, and any trivia associated with it, may be important to you, as a platformer gamer, and as a MegaMan gamer. That's perfectly fine.

But in the end, how relevant is ANY of that, to a topic about a Fighting Game? The answer? Not that much, really. I dunno how much more can be said in this arena.

Touche, but it's still the stupidest.

A fighting game which is a crossover of various characters from different genres, the character in question being primarily from the platforming genre, and it is entirely speculative whether or not the platforming attack in question will relate to the fighting game in question at all.

You can call it what you want, but it invites confusion and is unnecessarily vague, and in this particular case due to common X/Street Fighter linkage it's actually misleading.  There are a considerable number of players who believe Shun Goku Satsu to actually be an attack name for Omega.  If your adjective is in and of itself actually a proper noun, why not use the correct proper noun?

For the same reason I think it's just fine to call any of Zero's "rising slashes" what they really are, in the end. SRKs. To that end, if one of them pops in this game, they'll be just considered SRKs, by association of what the move properties have in common with a base-line thing that most people can identify with. The proper attack names are really only for the sticklers/geeks who really care about such things (re: like you and me, on that respective level reserved for it ).

But, if you REALLY want to avoid confusion? Again, keeping it simple, for the sake of this PARTICULAR arena. Most people are probably willing to indulge the notion of associating the Ranbu with a "Shun Goku Satsu" type of attack, more than any thing else (assuming it gets in). So, for the sake of KISS, I say humor that indulgence. If they really want to learn that much more (like say, what it's proper name is), they have the opportunity to do so on other topics on this very web site, alone.


To further illustrate my point, let's flip and reverse it, for the other side of the fence, in the Tatsunoko camp.

If I or some one like Taiyouh really wanted to, we could probably display how versed we each are in the Tatsunoko area, as well. For example, we both know that both Tekkamen have super laser attacks called: "VOL TEKKA". Now, should we be so presumptuous, that we could roll off "VOL TEKKA", and expect people to know exactly what we speak of? I'm willing to bet the case would STILL be "No", even after a whole year's of time since this game first appeared on the scene.

However, for the sake of keeping it simple, it would probably be more "on point" to either a) describe the attack by the motions used (like say: QCF + 2 attacks), or b) describe it as the "Tekkaman version of the Shinkuu Hadouken" (or "Make it Rain", for Tekkaman's SRK+ Attacks).

Again, KISS method at work. If they really wanted to know more in the way of what boils down to trivia relating to the subject matter, I'm sure I, Taiyouh, or some body else would be willing to enlighten them. But, at the same time, it ain't necessary for what boils down to a Fighting Game, specifically.


^THAT is what I was planning to do. Keep it simple, for the sake of making sure that we have even ground for BOTH sides of the playing field, with respect to the specific, FG matter at hand.

But hey, tell me how ya want it, Shelly! If you want to keep it on the level you're most comfortable with, then fine. But you open the playing field for exactly what was I referring earlier. That will probably do more to contribute to "confusion" much more so than what I proposing...

Original JP version of the song is, in my opinion, better. But everything else just can't be beat....

About the themesong, well, I really like the English version to be honest, only when the female singer is the one singing though.

Posted on: September 23, 2009, 10:04:45 PMOh, and had to post this

[Protoman Blues]

You should post a screenshot of the super when he PUTS A [tornado fang]ing KOBUN HEAD ON SOMEONE, THEN BEATS THE [parasitic bomb] OUT OF THEM!

[Solar]

That'll have to do for now.

[Night]

YES!!!!!

[Solar]

Oh right, forgot to share the release dates

U.S.: Jan. 26, 2010
JP: Jan. 28, 2010

[Protoman Blues]

Awesome.  Not that far away!

Come on, TGS.  Show us which Zero is in the game.

[Solar]

I think we would know already if they wanted to show us this month.

[HyperSonicEXE]

CALL ME WHEN IT'S ZERO

*hangs up the phone*

[Protoman Blues]

Another thing I just noticed as well.  New levels!

[Solar]

Did anyone ask for more Frank West awesomeness??

[HyperSonicEXE]

So Roll's good in this game, I'm hearing?

[Solar]

Usable, and forms an extremely kickass team with Casshern.

[Protoman Blues]

Did anyone ask for more Frank West awesomeness??

[tornado fang]ing sweet!  Can't wait to use him.

So Roll's good in this game, I'm hearing?

To quote Ben, "She's the new face of fear!"

Also, we need to see more Blade action too.

[Night]

Did anyone ask for more Frank West awesomeness??

OH MY GOSH!

[HyperSonicEXE]

Got it. Roll/Zero team.

To quote X4 Zero,

GET READY

[Fxeni]

That's... that's awesome. Throwing zombies at people will be great fun

[Satoryu]

Wow, Frank looks amazing. But he sounds SOOO cheesy.

Give me a day or two, and it'll be priceless. But I can't forgive when he said "Dead Rising." That's just terrible.

[Solar]

But I can't forgive when he said "Dead Rising."

He did?

[Fxeni]

He did?

Yes... yes he did. At 1:00 in, actually.

I dunno, the VA performance just gave me this B-movie vibe, which is probably why I'm more accepting of it.
