What fantasy VS games do you want to see?
My top 3:
A modern Marvel fighter that doesn't suck (maybe another Marvel VS Capcom)
wanted match up: Shin Akuma vs Spider Carnage or Blade Vs Daredevil

Marvel vs DC
wanted match up: Hulk vs Superman

Capcom vs Smash Bros.
wanted match up:
Street Fighter Alpha Ryu and Pocket fighter Ken vs Paper Mario and Vacuum Luigi


Darkmoon

Vacuum Luigi would be totally cool. I dunno though, Metal Slug vs Marios would be odd...

Xuzaf D

Dimitri and Akuma VS Mario Bros.

Darkmoon

Megaman and Bass versus Mario and Wario?

Xuzaf D

I hope somebody else posts this time...

Anyway, I think the only charactors that might have a problem in Capcom Vs Smash Bros. (or CapSmash if you like), are those from Resident Evil. It's that fact that RE charactors wield realistic guns unlike Fox and Samus who have lasers. Sounds stupid at first, but when you think about it, only the former is found in the average American home. Dante is on the edge of that description since his guns shoots both bullets and lightning.

Darkmoon

I'm sure they could find some way around it.

Xuzaf D

Yes they can find a way around it. The problem is in how they do it. I'm thinking that whichever way they go there will be complaints. Cutting them out all together could lead to complaints, taking away their weapons could lead to complaints, giving them lasers could lead to complaints. I hate fanboys like that... they would only be happy if they can get Leon to mow everyone down in a blood bath.

Darkmoon

That's not really Nintendo's speed, though.

You think HAL or Capcom would design it?

Xuzaf D

Hal would be the logical choice I think. The Smash bros. gameplay is a little more mainstream. If they go the capcom way, however, there's only a few ways they can go and all of those ways have sadly become lukewarm and stagnant. Capcom 2D will be yet another game that dusts off those ever aging Street Fighter Alpha sprites or possibly those Street Fighter 3 sprites that are about five or more years old. The Capcom 3D style is either going to be like that rather bland and uninteresting SF EX series or like the practically unknown Power Stone which resembles games like the recent Ninja Turtles, Marvel Nemesis, and a bunch of Ban Dai -anime license here- games.

Sammy Vs. Capcom
Reason: Capcom's ego is too big. Dante needs an ass-whoopin. Besides, the combat would be more fast-paced, and more killer moves will benefit the Capcom side.

Xuzaf D

I thought the "No fanboy 'this owns/ this sucks'" rule didn't need to be posted...

Konami couldn't pull together enough all stars to make their own fighter. The Konami cast would probably have three Metal Gear bosses and that guy from Nanobreaker just to fill up the cast.

I think it's time for more top ten action...
Let's get down to the top ten for the following companies:
Sega
Capcom
Namco
Konami

Funny that three of those four have done work for nintendo recently.

Darkmoon

I'm not familiar with a lot of Sega's stars... I mean, what do they really have that they do much with besides Sonic?

Namco isn't that much better. They have Pac Man... hrmmm...

Xuzaf D

I'll get Namco; you can have Konami.

Well... I can't really do a Namco ten for a good reason: Tekken has 40+ charactors and Soul Calibur has 25+ charactors. It's rather difficult in the case of Soul Calibur since the main charactors between games leaving no definitive "Ryu."  So I'm going to try things this way:

Tekken's top 5:
1. Jin Kazama
2. Nina Williams
3. King
4. Christie Monteiro (or Eddy Gordo or possibly Tiger or all three as different costumes)
5. Hwoarang

Soul Calibur top 5:
1. Kilik
2. Cervantes
3. Knightmare/ Seigfreid
4. Sophitia
5. Seung Mina

and let's not forgot a certain charactor that goes both ways: Yoshimitsu. There's also Mokujin, Tetsujin, Combot, Unknown, Edge Master, Inferno, Charade, and Olcadan who randomly use the fighting styles of the other charactors from their respected games.

Other Namco charactors:
1. Pac-Man
2. Dig Dug
3. The Prince (from the Katamari series)
4. Kos-Mos (maybe)

Now you can go get that Konami list since I can only think of Simon Belmont and Solid Snake.

Darkmoon

Well Obviously, much in the mold of Smash Bros, we'd have four or five CV character... let's do a top 5 of sorts:

Simon
Richter
Alucard
Dracula
Death?

Solid Snake and the couple of SS clones.

Konami man would have to be on the list, and do like SSB did, pull out Vic Viper too. That's at least a few there for ya.

Darkmoon

Oh, hey, and the Contra dudes. If you want, there's the four different characters from the Sega game.

ilpalazzo

You can't forget the Track and fiekd guys can you.

I wouldn't want a iron ball lobbed at my head or be trampled.

Darkmoon

There's the TMNT characters, long as they have the lisence, too... and didn't they have something to do with Double Dragon, or am I getting them confused?

Xuzaf D

I think Konami just recently broke that license with the Turtles.

Darkmoon

I dunno. I do know that the animated movie is getting a game from a different company, but that might not effect the deal for the cartoon.

ilpalazzo

I don't like the new TMNT, it is just to crappy, I prefer the early 90's version, thast and mega man, any one remember the mega man show?

Xuzaf D

I wasn't a fan of the MegaMan cartoon, but I did like the theme.

ilpalazzo

The theme were pretty much all they said was "Super fighting robot... MEGA MAN"

Darkmoon

I liked the dark Sonic cartoon.

ilpalazzo

There were two sonic cartoons right... One that followed the comics and one pulled from a producers ass?

Darkmoon

Yeah, one that was edgy and one that was shit.

Xuzaf D

There was also that one where Sonic had a long lost brother and sister. I could only stand watching long enough to know that that was the plot.

Darkmoon

Never saw that one.

I miss the old TMNT. I wish the new TMNT wasn't geared for retarded kids.
