Tatsunoko vs. Capcom shocker: They didn't reuse a Morrigan sprite
by Zero-chan, 07/09/2008

Howdy folks, I'm back from my month-long "holy crap I am never going to get all this work done" hiatus to return to my illustrious Jtor posting career. Did you miss me? Don't lie, I know you did! Never fear, if ever I must leave you again, you can pick up issues of Otaku USA and snuggle with them for comfort.

So today, as a show of my undying love for you, the readers, I bring you awesomeness: the first official gameplay trailer for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. Besides showing off the gameplay, which looks like it's going back to the style of the older Vs. series rather than the utter chaos of MvC, it brings us up to speed on the character roster so far.

From the Tatsunoko side:

  • Ken (Gatchaman)
  • Casshern (Casshern)
  • Tekkaman (Tekkaman)
  • Yatterman One (Yatterman)
  • Polymar (Hurricane Polymar)
  • Gold Lightan (Gold Lightan) - unique in that he can only be played solo and has one GIANT lifebar rather than two!

And on Team Capcom...

  • Ryu
  • Chun-Li
  • Alex (Street Fighter 3)
  • Morrigan (Darkstalkers)
  • Batsu (Rival Schools)
  • Soki (Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams) - neat addition, but I hope they didn't pick him over Dante...

This most certainly isn't the full - or final - roster, and we're bound to hear more about new and hidden characters as Capcom issues further information and the game begins testing in Japanese arcades. Until then, enjoy the footage, and start making plans to import the inevitable console release!
