Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Tastunoko vs Capcom impressions Thread

Dunno how many other people are going to get this game but drop your impressions here if you like.

Tatsunoko vs Capcom:Cross Generation of Heroes the much antipated Japan-only fighter for Wii is more or less what I wanted from the game.

I hadnt been following the game much but I figured it would be a fighter like MvC but I was mistaken. The game has much more in common with SNK vs Capcom series. Fighters move much slower than in MvC but faster thank SNK vs Capcom.

(Have not tried Classic controller just assuming)
The controls are really simple with just Wiimote. 1 button handles most melee and combo attacks. The game is simple and fun with just Wiimote. However if  your the type who wants to go all out you will prefer the GCN or Classic Controller. If your using only Wiimote 1+2 and any direction of the Dpad will give you to different special moves. If you have 3 bars full depending on what direction of the D-Pad you hold you can perform a stronger special attack. Simple on with the Wiimote. On GCN however its much more complicated. To the point where I never figured it out....... I just prefered the simple wiimote controls. With GCN controller most attack are mapped to different buttons and you have a larger variety of combos avaiable.

I see it as Wiimote = Easy Mode GCN/Classic = Manual. (vs. Capcom fans know what I mean)

The characters in the game are pretty varied on the Capcom side. A few characters return from previous vs.Capcom games with Morrigan/Megaman being the most changed fighters. On the Tatsunoko side 1/3 of the characters look the same but play differently overall.

Special attacks in the game are pretty unbalanced. Fighters have 3 special moves. 2 are accesible any time with 1 bar full and 1 super special when 3 bars are full. A few of the Tatsunoko fighters special attack are beyond powerful. While the Capcom fighters special (Ryu/Morrigan my team) special are rather weak. 
Heres another example: Ryu 3 bar special is only a bit stronger than his regular special. Where a certain Tatsunoko fighters 3 bar special takes away 50-60% of your health.

Visually the game is beautiful. Backgrounds looks amazing in 3D really vibrant colors are used and character cell shading looks great. The particle effects used are also something to admire  You have to  actually see the game in motion in front of you to see how impressive these visuals are.  These are Wii graphics not PS2.

There are few extra that I havent really played too much. Theres a store and some mini games. Its all in Japanese so it'll take me a while to get use to it. Options however are in English.

All in all TvC is an exceptional fighter. Having never followed the game I was just assuming it would be an advancement of the MvC series. Playing an SNKvC type game surprised me but left me impressed. Especilly since I hate the SNKvC series.
If you have been waiting for  a new vs. Capcom game this defintly lives up to the series name. A good enough reason alone to install HBC on your Wii. =)

Have fun waiting for never. The anime licensing will never allow it.

As for MvC 3.........damn things been rumored for years. I cant wait for it to be officially annuonced.

DOn't need the anime licence because they'll be swapped for MARVEL characters, which Capcom do have the licence for, and Marvel has even said that MvC3 is happening.

You mean they'll re-skin this game as MvC 3?

That would be a really bad move.

 



Since we're discussing MVC 3 I wonder if CAPCOM ACTUALLY develop that game too on the Wii with SF4 engine(same as used in TVC, yeah... wii are ripped off because SF4 have the same engine as TVC and yet CAPCOM dont want to port SF4 on the Wii. WTF?!!) or MVC3 have different developers than SF4 and RE5?

So how does it feel using the wiimote? Are you also guarding with the B button? because that feels awkward :/

I didnt know they were using the same engine....thats bullshit then if theyre not porting to the Wii. Its also insane that they didnt bring SF2HDRemix to Wiiware. Ive seen HD remix. Those graphics could be possible on Wii. At least an updated version of the damn game like HD remix for Wiiware.

Capcom will develop MvC 3 if it ever comes.

Guarding is done by holding back on the D-pad just like in the arcades.

 



Ive played this game here in Japan. Theyve actually had it out in the arcades for several weeks. And this game is definitely much more like Marvel vs Capcom as opposed to SNK vs Capcom.

Sorry to say this and make you angry at CAPCOM but actually it is... The only difference was the PS360 versions are in HD, but in engine they used no difference. You can even compared the screenshots it makes no difference, correct me if Im wrong but this is CAPCOM we're talking about, they're using the same engine in their games as they can as possible. Their versus games since  Marvel VS Street fighter  have no difference even till MVC2.
