Just picked up tatsunoko vs capcom!

[MaxwellGT2000]

I've been really looking forward to this game, I played through the arcade mode once with Ryu and Joe, same team I played with when I played a few hours of the Japanese version.  Only difference I saw was the end boss actually seemed easier, not sure if that was an actual difficulty change or me being better now, but it seemed a lot easier.

Vs the old Japanese version the menus are a lot cleaner as well, they got overhauled a bit. I couldn't tell if there was a diffierence visually since I played on a small TV and then played the new one on a HDTV so its not really fair to judge.

Played a few rounds with my friend (more like hours) every time he'd figure something out that started to help him put the hurt on me I'd figure out something to do the same and we kept improving until we were about even at the end of the night.  I gotta say some of the matches, combo strings, and epic moves were just too fun and entertaining.  Honestly since me and my friend didn't extensively play the original we couldn't test to see if the same characters are broken this time around or if any of the new characters are broken, but it seemed rather balanced from what we played.

Basically if you like a simple to get into fighter with some deep mechanics later on its one you should pick up.
