Only because they're finally doing a crossover that actually makes sense! No more of this maddening mismatched nonsense where Mortal Kombat fights DC while Street Fighter characters fight Marvel instead of vice versa. This is even better than a mythical SF vs. MK matchup would be at this point since SF and Tekken remain classic top dog heavyweights in the genre while MK isn't even top dog food anymore.

I would prefer Namco vs Capcom. Too bad things like Soul Calibur never been crossed with anything.

Good call, even better (other than the title). You could actually have that Pacman vs. Mega Man match. :ganishka:

Wasn't Soul Calibur technically crossed over with Star Wars?

That's been the story since MKII, so I'm not holding my breath as long as Boon and Tobias are involved. If Capcom or another development team took over and cut them out, that would be a start.

Yeah, yeah and with God of War, Legend of Zelda, Tekken and even Spawn, but that doesn't count. :iva:

Oh yeah, I wonder why they went about crossovers that way. I kind of like it for the sake of not diluting the brand doing a full on Soul Caliber vs whatever though.

Anyway, Street Fighter vs. Tekken is kind of a perfect match in that regard, but I wonder how they'll handle the contrast in the gameplay. Speaking of, strange that they're doing two separate versions, no? I'm sure they'll split all profits evenly between both while essentially selling us the same product twice. =)

They're doing 2 separate versions because they can't handle the contrast in gameplay. :slan:

Yeah, but I still say it's a ripoff because they could include Street Fighter, Tekken, and combination fight modes in one game. The way they're doing it is more like a collaborative effort of their marketing departments.

SFXTekken is gonna be 2D, TekkenXSF is gonna be 3d. In other words SF with Tekken characters and vice versa.

Yeah, I get it, but if they're going to be using 3D rendered character models and stages anyway, they might as well have experimented with some kind of 2D/3D combo engine. A fully 3D engine in Tekken mode, limited to a 2D plane in SF mode.

O_O Daamn, I'm glad it's not gonna happen. My head would definitely blow trying to remember and switch to different combo list every time I change modes.

Here's the 1st view to Capcom's mechanics to the Tekken / SF ordeal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6U7jZ-qMfI

On topic, I was at Lollapalooza this past weekend and they had a Playstation Booth where I had the chance to play a "demo" version of MvC3, and I have to say.... WOW. I'm a fan of the franchise so my opinion is biased, but I take aside all the doubts I have about this game. Compliments everything I liked about the previous titles, and it's insanely fast. Buttom line? it sold me. I'll be waiting for this title for purchase.

Viewtiful Joe and Dormammu are officially unveiled:
http://www.destructoid.com/gc-10-viewtiful-joe-and-dormammu-join-marvel-vs-capcom-3-181716.phtml

Now if only we could get a video to see how they'll play. Though if anyone's played Tatsunoku vs Capcom they'll have some idea of how VJ will play.


Update for ya, VJ and Dormammu trailers are now up.

Pretty excited about this game. The inclusion of Thor and Amaterasu made this a day 1 purchase for me.

The director recently confirmed more characters as not playable, 3 to be exact:

-Cyclops
-Dr. Strange
-Demitri (Darkstalkers)

And one that I missed from around comic con time:

-Venom

Apparently Venom and Demitri would be too difficult to animate due to transformations and such. I call laziness as Super Skrull shows transformations when he utilizes his Fantastic Four abilities.

Yeah, they did Venom just fine in MvC2 but now it's somehow too difficult? And they're using 3D models now, making it infinitely easier to animate characters than in 2D.

I got to play this and the new mortal kombat at Pax this weekend (only one game of each) I am a long time fan of MVC2 and I will also say I LOVED what I got to play of MVC3 this weekend.
I haven't touched tatsunoku vs capcom so I didn't have the full grasp of the controls but I LOVED what I played. I am CONFIDENT this game will be done right. They've really done a lot to improve upon the UI. In my opinion the last game was so hard to pick up for new people because each fighter had 3 different types: alpha, beta, gamma, but you really couldn't know what each did for each character without trial, error, and memorization. Each character still has 3 types but they are more descriptive. I love it, I think thats a big shift in the arcade vs home console mentality.

I will also give an honorable mention to mortal kombat, I think it shows a lot of promise and I am excited to see how it comes along. I loved reptiles fatality where he pryed open scorpions mouth and puked a gallon of acid inside. :)

I can't wait to play as Wesker :guts:

Spiderman and Wesker being announced is kick ass. X-23 being a clone of Wolverine is pretty stupid, and a character like Gambit should be in place instead of her. Strider and Jin have to be in this game as they have been staples since the beginning.
