Capcom is trying not only to make the game more accessable to the GC's supposedly younger audience, but they're also hoping to get some future fans, I mean face it, it is no longer easy to get into 2D fighting games!
But this picture scares me, is it just me, or does this indicate that because of the Analog stick being used for special moves, Charge moves will no longer need charging? (Shudders at the thought of Blanka, Guile, and Vega without charging)
Now...where are my Bonnes!?
Yeah, with the analog stick being used to do special moves and stuff, CvS2 has now officially become SCRUB FRIENDLY. Just picture someone that's never played the game and whipping your ass just because he pressed an analog in a certain direction. UGH!!

I think that this could make this game better! Think about it, playing people who don't know the controls will no longer be a waste of time! Playing even the WORST players will present a decent challenge! Obviously, any player worth his salt will NOT be using the EO mode, cause it would take away from the overall SFness of the game, but still, now playing little Joey won't be a complete waste of time! It'll be weird playing CvS2 like smash bros, though...
Geese players must be crying in their sleep, now that their ultra l33t Raging Storm can be done with a tap on the joystick.
They should make it that, just for that move, you have to do the pretzel with the C-Stick.
I predict MANY busted L/R triggers however, those things feel pretty sensitive, and I can imagine erally kids going hog-wild for fierce/roundhouse...
Bolischoy Tavieda!
Owhyawhyawhyawhya!

My main gripe is that no other features were included besides the scrubtastic new isms. No new characters, or stages.

I so agree with you Juan...that's my main gripe about it...artwork mode, Characters, SOMETHING...ANYTHING! Whee! Capcom and GC made such a BFD about this latest port you would think they would do something just a little more than one button super/specials. But CvS2:Scrub edition sounds...funny.
First of all bards, you don't know that there aren't any other extras, second, it's a freakin' port with an extra feature to accomodate the target console and audience, if it doesn't interest you, shut up.

so as I thought a KID's version after all
man they knew the GC joystick sux so much for a 2D game. that why!
Dragon-Warrior: Kid's version? Its the same freakin' thing, man, just an extra option for those not used to this type of game. As mentioned by others, YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE IT! I believe in another string it was mentioned that the N64 got a kiddie image because a lot of 3rd parties stayed away from it, not Nintendo's fault. I am SICK of hearing that kid bullcrap.
Juan: I was hoping for some other extra features too, like a couple of new charactes, but oh well. At least I can have an English ver. now, as I don't have a PS2 and don't plan on getting one. I don't have 300 bucks lying around. 'sides, I already got my DVD player. I know it has some good games, but I can't get one now. Maybe this one will have some good box art, or maybe not. It would've been nice to see Blue Mary, but oh well.....*sniff*

I'm not worried one bit, because for tournament play, it will always either be the DC or the Arcade version, not a beginner-friendly GC version. Let the newbies have their simplified options, but we know that we'll beat them anytime, anyday on the the DC and arcade versions (and PSX, I guess). Remember, the real controller your supposed to be playing with is a joystick, and if you haven't mastered that, you can't really call yourself a good player of the game.
I have the import DC version, which I use with a Saturn joystick with a convertor. I'm not sure if I will get the GC version. If there is a US version, I may get it if funds are available, because I want win quotes in English. Then again, the US version will have sounds taken out, like Rugal's and Sagat's "Genocide" shouting. In the end, I'll end up waiting until I hear some reviews.

That's also my main complain... When I saw "tentative title" I was expecting something more, although inside of me there was a voice saying "don't get your hopes too high..."
At least, it's CvS2. Because I don't have money for all the consoles, and I've nearly chosen GC (I'm a Nintendo fan, what can I do...), I will be able to play CvS2 more often (here, new arcades don't even exist, and my friend's house, who owns PS2 CvS2 is not very near...)

Ugh, I'm all for ports to other systems, but you've gotta know when you're wasting your time. The GCN controller sucks for fighters, and even if you buy a fighting stick, this instant-move stuff is going to unbalance things all to hell.
People say, well yeah, you don't have to use it, but has that every stopped people from using cheap stuff, even in tournament play? It's in the game, people. It's gonna be used and abused, just as bad as SNK groove was in CvS.
This is great for everyone who lives under a rock and has never played CvS2, has a GCN, and has neither a PS2, DC, and has no access to an arcade with CvS2, to everyone else, this is a waste of a cd.

Whoa there. There's some issues that need to be cleared up here: Firstly, you're right in that in tournament play (almost) anything goes, but only stuff that's IN the arcades count. Home system stuff doesn't count, even in tournaments that are run on home systems. No tournament director who wants to be taken seriously would run a CvS2 tournament on the GC and allow Scrub-ISM to be used, just like EX grooves aren't allowed on CvS2 tournaments run on DC/PS2.
Secondly, in regards to CvS1, only certain characters were any good (read: abusive) in SNK groove (I can recall Iori, Mai and Balrog - who else?). You want real CvS abuse, try jumping short (anyone), or playing with Nakoruru. Bleah.

Er, right. Though with the exception of the rock bit, you'd be amazed how many people fall into this category.

Sheesh, I have it in Japanese on my DC and I'm still gonna get the GCN ver. First off, I won't be playing any tourneys on it. Second, if my friends know how to play the game (and they will be the only ones playing with me) then they will play normal (i'll make them) and if they can't then they can make it easier on themselves and put themselves on near equal footing with me, which DOES make things a lot better. Also, I don't have a PS2, I'm not getting one, so this is the only way I'll have an English language ver. I can understand. You may think it's dumb, but I could care less. Oh, and I will get an arcade stick. :)

And as mentioned before, now I can actually get some competition out of all my friends who never learned those type of moves (though I won't let them do it for long, they are gonna HAVE to learn eventually). I have one friend who's never ever played SF2, isn't that sad? He only likes 3d fighters, mainly Tekken... 
Don't give up hope yet man...
