Tatsunoko vs. Capcom roster may change for North American release

It's not all bad, though: GameSpot said that Capcom is working to keep the roster balanced for the updated version, "so any pruning done will require some addition to keep things balanced." Maybe Capcom can grab 3D models of random Capcom characters and stick the missing Tatsunoko characters' movesets in. Or maybe whoever the last holdout is on the Tatsunoko side will realize that there's really not anything else going on in North America with these characters.

I hope the G-Force characters are still in.

Not calling Gatchaman by its original name (fuck G-Force) is a being disgrace to the anime. Now go watch some Casshern Sins.

I would pay any amount of money to be able to play as these G-Force characters:

Too bad the Casshern in the game, is not the same Casshern from Casshern Sins. Not even the same voice actor. So I fail to see what watching it would do.

I was pretty sure this would happen...

Personally, I think they should contact the Christian Broadcasting Company or whoever owns the rights to Tatsunoko's "Superbook" and "The Flying House" cartoons and fill in the gaps with characters from those two shows. It wouldn't be all bad! We'd have two more robots in the roster, plus maybe Noah or the Apostle Paul or something. Imagine Mega Man and Roll vs. Noah and Giraffe.

SAMURAI PIZZA CATS AND GENE (GODHAND) PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Haohmaru (PSN - DimmuBurgerKing XBL - A Real Puppet ) @ May 29th 2009 2:58PM
Whoa.. WHOA. I loved Samurai Pizza Cats! That's a Tatsunoko property?! If so, how were they overlooked for this game in the first place?!
Okay, that's it. We NEED SPC in this game.

Ya can bet your Wii they are!!!

What ever you do, just please don't take away giant golden wafflebot guy! I beg you!
eugaet @ May 29th 2009 12:59PM
So...the solution will be to continue importing the game? I'll wait and see what they do, but this doesn't sound good...
Roto13 @ May 29th 2009 1:02PM
I'd like to see them replace characters they can't get the licenses to with characters that North Americans would be more familiar with. Speed Racer and Samurai Pizza Cats plz?
Storm Eagle @ May 29th 2009 1:22PM
Gamecube/Classic Controller support or alternative fighting stick for release pweaze?
BPMOmega [GT,Steam] @ May 30th 2009 9:34PM
That's already supported in the Japanese version, dood.
Maxx the Slash @ May 29th 2009 1:40PM
Good. Add in Speed Racer and/or Racer X. They're Tatsunoko Productions's most recognizable characters, and the fact they weren't in the Japanese release is just ****ed up.
headkicker @ May 29th 2009 2:06PM
Yes! Add Speed & Racer X! How about Vewtiful Joe?
Doctor John Smith @ May 29th 2009 2:43PM
We all know Phoenix Wright is the perfect choice for one of these substitutions.
S-Puff @ May 29th 2009 4:14PM
Yes, please.
Haohmaru (PSN - DimmuBurgerKing XBL - A Real Puppet ) @ May 29th 2009 3:01PM
My Hori Wii stick is going to see so much use.
ArchiGamer @ May 29th 2009 3:07PM
Jeane!!!!!!
CaptainProtonX @ May 29th 2009 5:54PM
And here I expected the game to be renamed "Cartoons vs Capcom".
"Ultimate All-Stars" sounds just as putrid. What about "Xtreme Cross Over"? "Mega Charged Battle?"...no...sounds too Japanese.
"Mash-up of Heroes". Yeah...there we go.

Just call it Non-Copyrighted Characters Vs. Capcom: Super Special Awesome Battle of Super Special Awesomeness.

Why in the hell would companies not allow their licenses in the game. (rhetorical; no question mark)
Seriously. That's just entirely greedy and selfish.
Chris @ May 29th 2009 11:23PM
Welcome to the copyright industry.
Josh @ May 30th 2009 12:06AM
I know I know, I'm just getting tired of it.
PN04 @ May 30th 2009 3:20AM
There are dozens of characters they could use for Tatsunoko's side, regardless of what ever one needs to be removed I dont see why it would be so difficult... heck I dont even see which tatsunoko characters in this game even have other videogame variations to have to cause a dispute over rights.
ChromeAlchemist @ May 29th 2009 11:50PM
Just unbalance the roster and give me Dante n' some kind of Monster Hunter.
Princessb89 @ May 30th 2009 1:41AM
I'm surprised that this game is coming to the us at all.

Capcom always pick stupid characters like Alex, Morrigan, and roll. Why not Dante, Maximo, Ada Wong, Seig (chaos legion), Jotaro Kujo (Jojo's Bizarre adventure), the chick in P.N.03 or some of the characters from Power Stone?
Tim @ May 30th 2009 10:19PM
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is owned by someone else, in the similar scenario about Strider Hiryu.
Tim @ May 30th 2009 11:25AM
Which Tatsunoko license is being used a ransom right now?
Quattro @ May 30th 2009 5:26PM
Geeze how about Capcom vs Shounen Jump or something.
I like Tatsunoko vs Capcom and all, but I couldn't care less about the Tatsunoko roster.
Wesley @ May 31st 2009 3:14PM
I'm more concerned about getting the game than the roster. I'd actually like it if they tried this if they can't get the non-capcom characters...
Capcom vs Capcom: *insert comical self-deprecating subtitle here*
Basically add a bunch of extra Capcom characters to the mix from all reaches of capcom history. We know they have a lot they can do. Just look at MvC2.
