I'm still pushing for ONE Power Stone character. That series needs more love.

Good idea, would be nice to see Falcon or something make an appearance. I remember his stage was in one of the Capcom vs SNK games, but that's the only PowerStone ref I can think of in a VS series.

Cool! I did some snooping and found this:

Falcon makes a small cameo in Capcom vs. SNK 2, during the desert race stage. Rouge has appeared in the background of the London Street stage in Capcom vs. SNK 2, and made a small cameo in Felicia's ending in Capcom Fighting Evolution. She was also considered for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars by producer Ryouta Niizuma but was eventually dropped from the roster.

So dropped from TvC, but perhaps made it in MvC3?

[fluffymoochicken]

I already told you guys to knock it off, any more East vs West rubbish after this will be deleted and warnings dealt out.

Sorry. ^^ The point is, I think the game is graphically looking good so far. Can't we agree on that much?

But regardless, on the subject of "who do you want?", I guess I'd like to see John Talbain. From Power Stone, I'd take Jack, Pride, Gourmand, Pete, Kraken, Accel, and/or Mel the item shop girl.

[MadeManG74]

I had to look up John Talbain, I'm not familiar with Darkstalkers. I do think they need better representation, it seems they just use Morrigan everytime. Felicia will be in MVC3, but would be nice to see some of the lesser used characters.

I'd also like to see Bionic Commando or Super Joe in on Capcom's side, they would be pretty cool.

[fluffymoochicken]

All of the best Darkstalkers never get any attention. Sometimes, it's only that boring old shotoclone woman who ever shows up to a crossover.

Moving away from MvC3 talk for a minute, KOF XI seems like it's the best KOF game ever made. It looks so much faster and has cooler characters than 98.

I've never played it but it looks like it would be more up your alley than the other games. I personally don't like the look of the tagging gameplay and the characters as much as '98 and (to a lesser extent) 2k2 (American Sports team need to come back!), but that's the beauty of KOF. Each different era has different gameplay and characters, and they all have their own appeal.

Even 2000 and 2001 had that weird Striker system that played entirely different.

I should try to track down a copy of XI now that I have a PS2 though.

[fluffymoochicken]

Yeah, I wanna get it, too, though I wish it would come out for XBLA instead. =P

KOF XI's faster tag team gameplay seems like a HUGE step forward from the slower pace of the other games. I personally think it has plenty of awesome characters, like Ash Crimson (HAWT), Duck King, Tizoc, Tung Fu Rue, Duo Lon, Kasumi Todoh, Gato, Malin, Hayate, plus the usual cool characters like Terry, Andy, Joe, Kyo, Benimaru, etc. ^__^ Seems like a good game to me.

Yesterday I found out about this really awesome KOF character named "Bao"... I sure wish he were in more KOF games. It'd be great to see him fight alongside Ash Crimson and Chris.

[Sega Uranus]

Stupid childish characters like Bao are what ruined the series and upset most of the fans.



This woman is able to kill Rugal? Fuck you SNK.

[fluffymoochicken]

I think she could do it.

I love some of these newer designs, personally. It makes the cast much more varied and interesting. ^__^ It's not like those people should worry, either, since the masculine characters are still around.

[Sega Uranus]

If by varied you mean everything clashes, then yes.

It just is stupid. It ruins all of the characters that established previously by making their powers they work on all of their lives seem like a joke when a little kid can just come out of nowhere and kill a super powerful cyborg.

It is similar to one of the things that Sonic Team did to ruin Sonic games. Like Knuckles was designed to be as strong as Sonic is fast, but now a character like Shadow is inexplicably AS fast as Sonic and as strong as Knuckles, not to mention he has powers that let him control time and space, making previous characters useless. The same is true with the characters speeds. All of the characters - Even Robotnik and Amy are as fast as Sonic now. It just ruins the point and makes people who like new Sonic stuff seem dumb.

[fluffymoochicken]

Boy, you sure do study the abilities of Sonic characters rather intently, don't ya? =P Let's save that for a different discussion. So anyway...

Who said that cute people had to be weak? You can be cute and be strong enough to take out a cyborg, sure. ^__^ A big enough Care Bear Stare could take out about anything, after all. What the cyborg is doing is called "underestimating his opponents" by not taking cute characters as a serious threat.

KOF98's cast was mostly boring, so I'm glad that there are characters who were much more interesting following that entry.

I stopped caring about KOF when Blazeblue came out.

[fluffymoochicken]

Meh, BlazBlue... Guilty Gear is better. It has some awesome characters like Bridget, Ky Kiske, Venom, and Faust. ^__^

[George]

Errr. No Blazeblue is a better game. I like Guilty Gear, but this one is better.

I never liked Bao, I think KOF had enough 'Children' characters with Athena, Chris and Sie. I will say that I like the Mark of the Wolves guys being in XI, was hoping Kushnud or something will make it in future instalments. I like Raiden better than Tizoc though. He hates Koalas.

Oh and seeing as SNK bought 98 UM, 2k2UM, NGBC to XBLA I wouldn't be surprised to see XI come eventually.

This woman is able to kill Rugal? Fuck you SNK.

Whaaa? Rugal has been dead since '95. The only person to best him in combat was Goenitz who is the most powerful Orochi-King. Rugal died when he tried to absorb Orochi's power and got consumed by it.

Speaking of Rugal I hope he gets into the console release of XIII or something, he's SNK's fave boss character and seems to crop up in all the dream-matches.

KOF98's cast was mostly boring, so I'm glad that there are characters who were much more interesting following that entry.

How can you say that? The cast was massive and varied really well. You had the SNK old Guard like Fatal Fury Team and AOF Team, Ikari Warriors (who was basically Rambo and pals), American Sports team (one of the best boxing characters around- he doesnt' fight with gloves for one thing, Lucky Glauber and Brian Battler), even Heidern and Vice were really unique and cool.

I stopped caring about KOF when Blazeblue came out.

I stopped caring about chalk when cheese came out...

Athena and Sie aren't really kids though, they're more like young teenagers. =P

Bao is an INCREDIBLY adorable addition to the cast. I'd love to play as him! ^__^

Um...

Those guys are like in every freaking game. >_> They didn't go away when Bao and other awesome characters showed up. The American Sports Team, I'll admit, was good for a laugh, so I wouldn't mind them coming back... but they can co-exist with Bao. ^_^
