Tatsunoko vs. Capcom clips cause billions in damage

The best part of Capcom's Vs. fighters isn't the character roster, though of course Vs. games tend to have awesome selections. No, it's the ridiculous, super-fast aerial combat. Unfortunately, if you're not directly engaged in said combat (or even if you are), it can be way too frantic and flashy to understand.

The Tatsunoko vs. Capcom clip above, and the other after the break, demonstrate this issue. Yatterman and Doronjo (from the Yatterman anime), and Saki and Morrigan (from Quiz Nanairo Dreams and Darkstalkers, respectively) go into battle, and then ... a bunch of stuff happens, causing billions of unspecified units of damage, and then suddenly it's over. We don't really know what happened, but we know we want to be involved in it.

in the first video, i dont remember that music for that stage. is it new or did the player turned down BGM volume and added their own music to the video via video editing program?

That's what I'm afraid of now, seeing how the BGM change is something I would take as a sign that Capcom didn't get the license for the anime bgm's.

Also, Saki's gun has been edited.

Guys the background music is determined by the characters fighting, not the stage. In other words it randomly picks a current character fighting and uses their theme. Like how in mvc1 when a new character tagged in it would switch to music from that character's game.

I thought somebody was filing a lawsuit...

I love how the hit goes to a 20 billion damage. Overkill?

Haha- that's awesome. I love how the damage score is now completely arbitrary.

Although it feels weird that they're calling it 'air combo' now instead of 'arial rave'. I wish they'd keep it the other way.

Capcom USA and their stupid localization. Oh well, I hope it's not a bug and there won't be any more of it if it is. xDD... They should've just stick to the original and just localize the translation... This is what happens I guess when lots of things are edited.

And... oh yeah, I thought this article was about lawsuit too. xDDD ROFL.
