Because I would be, very much so...
In case anyone here doesn't know, Shonen Jump is one of the oldest and most popular manga magazines in Japan, having originated many of the most beloved manga/anime series both in Japan and outside of it. Examples of this include Dragon Ball, One Piece, Naruto, Mazinger Z, Rurouni Kenshin or Hokuto no Ken (AKA Fist of the North Star) to name a few. You can read more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weekly_Sh%C5%8Dnen_Jump
Being a fan of several Jump series as well as Capcom games in general, I've always thought this would be a good match for a VS game. Jump franchises offer a multitude of interesting warriors to choose from, which I believe can very well mix with Capcom ones due to being part of the same culture and having many points in common, whether it's on personality traits or fighting techniques. These abilities have a lot of potential when it comes to creating move sets, from a gameplay perspective. And it also occurred to me that other non-fighting characters and their settings could be used as cameos throughout the game, like say, stages based on Captain Tsubasa and I''s, with funny things happening in the background, or something of the sort.
While we are indeed getting a new Jump crossover fighter now as part of their 45th anniversary (J-Stars Victory VS) and we did also get other ones before (Jump Super Stars/Ultimate Stars and partially Battle Stadium D.O.N.), none of them are similar to Capcom VS games gameplay-wise, so they're not replacements here.
I do realize how difficult it would be to release this game in the West due to all the licensing issues that would arise (even though we did get Tatsunoko VS Capcom...), but frankly, I don't care. I would import the game if I have to, no matter the platform. All I want is for the game to exist.
If you're interested, you might want to show support for the idea by signing this petition:
http://www.change.org/petitions/capcom-and-shueisha-make-a-shonen-jump-vs-capcom-game-2
(Yes, I know, a petition... Keep in mind that the point here would be just to express enough interest in the idea so that Capcom considers it, and that it doesn't cost more than a few minutes at most to sign it. A few fans have already been asking for it for a while at Capcom Unity, but having a popular petition would certainly help a lot...)
Anyway... Feel free to tell me how wrong and delusional I am in the comments, if you must. The more people read this, the better ! ^_^
EDIT: I made my own version of what a character roster for the game could look like. You can see it in this post. Feel free to share yours !
