Not one or the other - BOTH of them are cheap as hell.

Well giant Boss battles are always fun, plus Onslaught was way cooler...

So apparently, Amaterasu has been confirmed as a new fighter in MvC3.

Yes, yes she has. Along with Thor.

Also possible Namco Vs Capcom and Capcom Vs Namco games coming out.

Ugh namco has pretty shitty characters. Klonoa would be okay I guess.

Street Fighter X Tekken announced.

Hard to get excited with a trailer that doesn't have any gameplay but I've never really cared much for the Tekken series which is probably part of the reason why I feel apathetic.

Actually, it's just Street Fighter vs. Tekken, so no other Namco or Capcom characters would be involved. Not to mention this is just going to be a fighting crossover.

Still can't say I'm not too hopeful for this crossover: I didn't like what happened to the series after Tekken 4 and I couldn't stand that juggles was the core of winning in Tekken 6 - first one to get popped up or knocked down is the one that usually loses. Now imagine that same type of fighting engine being applied to the likes of Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li and others along with their specials and supers combined (if possible).

Yeah...I'm not looking forward to that.

On the up side, rumors are flying around stating that both Capcom and Namco are going to make their own versions of this newly announced crossover with the same fighting used in SF4. This I won't mind...and actually look forward to! So I guess it all comes down to preference: decent juggles vs. bullshit juggles. You decided.

Now compliments with bootleg trailer from Comic-Con 2010:

Great. Nobody even likes tekken anymore. It doesn't help either that the game looks almost identical to sfIV.

Does anyone here play Tekken? I've never been a fan and I don't remember ever meeting anyone who had any affection for the series, but it's never really offended me, either. I assume someone somewhere must be playing them.

Having that said, this looks way more appealing to me than Marvel vs Capcom 3 and I really don't know why.

...nope, Marvel vs. Capcom 3 definitely blows this one out of the water for me. Never gave a shit about Tekken. Not owning a PS1 at the time it was popular probably contributed greatly to that. About the best hope I have here is that it'll play like Street Fighter, but with more characters. Zangief can now actually wrestle bears in-game. New and exciting.

GG, I still play Tekken, but only for fun and kicks. To play on a competitive level would be suicide at this point. Before the likes of 5 and 6 (UGH), Tekken was a worthy fighter - it was a game that was said to be 'realistic' at one point because of the whole left-right button scheme of things. It even sparked a rival between the likes of Tecmo and their Dead or Alive series (before Itagaki split from the scene). It was even considered a 'true 3D fighter' over Soul Caliber and Virtua Fighter - and even I found that hype to be bullshit until Tekken 4 was released. That was the peak of Namco's development with the series.

Then suddenly it all became about juggling and bouncing your opponent around like your trying to dribble a football with your hands and feet. So I can share the hatred with others who says that Tekken (nowadays) has gone to shit. How can I blame them after the experience I've been through?

With that being said, I'm really afraid of what Namco will do when they develop their version of the cross-over. And that's not coming from experience with Tekken 6.

Rad: That's excatly what Capcom is going for - there's a plan for two different versions of the cross-over game: one by Capcom featuring gameplay like Street Fighter, the other by Namco featuring gameplay like Tekken.

I still like Tekken. Prefer Soul Calibur and Virtua Fighter over it though. Always have done though.

Was kinda looking forward to the whole Capcom V Namco/Namco V Capcom though. But this looks all right.

I played Tekken once. My mate was playing as a wrestler with a tiger's head, or something. At the very start of the fight, he grabbed me and did like ten throws at once. I died. The rest of the time was spent choking back vomit, thanks to the bizarre sliding floor thing they got going on. Real 3D!

My conclusion is that Tekken is horseshit. Then again, I only died once or twice, there; when I play SFIV, my mate plays Akuma and I Die One Thousand Deaths.

Smash Bros, though... I'll take you down to China Town, and you're paying for the meal.

^ Yeah, "King" will fuck you up badly if he grabs you - those button command throws are a bitch.

A guy I went to high school with is a big fan of Tekken. He looks forward to and plays each installment to death. He's also a big Street Fighter fan. He's probably bouncing off the walls right now.

I came.

It's good to see that Capcom still loves V. Joe despite him burning out faster than any of its other properties. (I still have to pick up that DS game of his...)

Speaking of Wesker, I just saw Resident Evil: Afterlife and it sucks balls. Not as much as the third one, but it does suck a lot of balls.

Finally! I wonder what took so long. It's awesome that this song is making a comeback. Now all I need is Strider. If Strider is there then I'm satisfied. Bionic Commando would be a luxury.

I was getting a little concerned too! The roster's looking nice so far, the only weak character on Marvel' side is X23 (I'm not the biggest fan of Deadpool, but he has a decent following).

Like Spider-man wouldn't. He's Marvel's Mario!

Sure Tatsunoko vs. Capcom had no Speed Racer. Not exactly sure what the particulars there were, though.

I only hope they edited his A.I. for this game. I had enough of that "WEB LOG, WEB LOG, WEB LOG, SPIDA-STING!!" junk from Marvel Super Heroes AND Marvel vs. Capcom 2.

Dormammu is a little baffling. Why not Dr. Strange?

Guess they were making up for the lack of Shuma-Gorath. Still, a good point - why not bring the doc out to stomp some faces and work his inter-dimensional magic?

The only reason I can think of, is that they might have wanted to up the villain count a little. Dormammu is certainly a better representative of Marvel's magical villains than Blackheart and Shuma-Gorath - I still have no idea how those two made it into "Marvel Super-Heroes" and stuck around in the VS sequels.

It's been confirmed that the Fantastic Four, Daredevil, Ghost Rider and Dr Strange won't be playable characters, and heavily suggested that Cyclops won't either. Kinda sucky because, aside from Ghost Rider (who I do dig), they're all top tier characters.

Makes me wonder who will make the cut. Storm? Black Panther? Silver Surfer? Doctor Octopus? Green Goblin? Magneto? Venom? One of the girls from Runaways?

If we have Dormammu in place of Dr Strange and Super Skrull in place of the FF does that mean Elektra or Bullseye will be featured instead of Daredevil?
