A ridiculously detailed guide to the changes in North America's Tatsunoko vs. Capcom

We know about the "big picture" changes made to Tatsunoko vs. Capcom for the North American release (and the Japanese re-release to follow): online play, new characters, no Hakushon Daimao. But those aren't the only changed. In every iteration of its fighting games, Capcom tweaks tiny behaviors and damage effects to balance the game.

The fighting game obsessives at Shoryuken have produced a list of minute changes that will affect how the game works. For example, the Megacrash move (which pushes the opponent to the opposite side of the screen) now pushes up in addition to away. And Roll's air dash is faster. Check out the wonderfully informative post for plenty more details that we never, ever would have noticed.

Ah, good to know that they're not just throwing in new characters and online play and just sticking the game out worldwide. This could be the Wii's answer to Street Fighter IV (or at least Blazblue).

In general the Capcom chars got nerfed bigtime. Batsu worthless and all of Mega Man's combos and moves severely limited.

Unfortunately this stuff is a deal breaker for me (money staying in pocket). So much for my hopes of something eclipsing Marvel VS Capcom 1.

Wowzers, talk about obsessive.
