I typed this all up and posted this at Gamefaqs, but no one replied, so I'd thought I would copy it and post it here, to see if anyone would give me their opinion. I mean it IS worth deliberating, and I put a lot of thought into it.

This was just an idea I had for the possible sequel, I mean I see these all the time for MvC3 but not CvS3. And I thought it should be done, just as an idea. I was bored, so I typed this all up offline, and then pasted it here. And I wanted a lot of nice detail in it, not just a small list of 30 extra characters that should be in it like you see most newbies doing.

Characters

All the original characters should return (a redone Morrigan should be done as well), and they should add a few more characters, an equal amount on both sides. I think 10 is good, which makes the total roster about 65 characters?

Capcom:
Ibuki
Felicia
Lilith
Juni&Juli (as either seperate characters or a Yun/Yang, Chang/Choi type of character)
Feilong
Kairi
Rose
DeeJay
Ayame
Karin

SNK
Amano
Cham-Cham (just imagine an intro with her and Felicia ^_^)
Rimururu
Mature&Vice (same as Juni and Juli above)
Leona
Shingo
Blue Mary
Chin Gensai
Kula
Robert Garcia

Well I think I chose well, some of my ideas are inspired from the "Who should be in CvS3?" topics I see at Gamefaqs. I'm really trying to think from Capcom's perspective on this. It's very possible that in CvS3 they'd try to fix the "Mainly Common SF characters" problem. If Felicia can be in SvC for the NGPC, then I don't see why she can't be in CvS3. With Cham Cham being her "SNK Rival" I chose Ibuki and Ayame, mainly to match the likes of Hibiki, Haohmaru, and Nakoruru, as well as for diversity. Like what Capcom did with Eagle and Maki, I figured Ayame, Karin, DeeJay, and Feilong needed to be put in. On top of that, Rose, whom has made so many Cameos but has hardly been in a fighter recently herself.

As for my choice in SNK characters, Amano reminds me of a Samurai version of Dan, plus it'll give the SNK a nice rounded out lineup. Leona is Cammy's REAL SNK rival, not Vice (IMO). Shingo and Gensai are just funny characters who I think would look great "Capcom-ized". And Robert Garcia, just because...well.. if the story of CvS2 revolves around the Masters Foundatation and the Garcia Concern, why is Ken in the game and Robert not?

Grooves:
I really don't see anything wrong with the Grooves, taking a "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" attitude. Some things they COULD add:

C (and maybe others) Groove: Add an "Air recover" like in SFA3.

K Groove: Just Defending was cool, but I'd rather see an actual Repel system like in Last Blade 2, pressing something like LP+LK (the two weakest attack buttons) when you're actually attacked and NOT blocking causes the character to immediately counter and perform a nice combo.


EX Groove Editing:
Well I happened to like this, I thought it was cool to either Max out a Groove for fun, take away everything for a challenge, or customizing it so that it matches a particular fighting game you're confortable with. But an idea I had is make the Groove MUCH more customizable. Here's how; Not only could you have the ability to add certain elements (Air Blocking, JDing, etc) to a groove but actually add certain elements of the Bar itself. If you've played Final Fantasy X, it's much like the way you can customize how your character gains their Overdrive Meter.

As an example, you could take the C Groove Bar, and there would be an option as to how it can be raised. Just like the list of choices under System and Sub System in CvS2, there would be a list on how it can be raised. So far I've come up with:

-Physical Damage in combos
-Special Moves
-"Rage Damage" as in K Groove
-Charging (S Groove; Automatically unselectable if using A Groove Bar or N Groove Bar, since you have to use the same buttons to "Activate" the bar)

So basically you could have a C Groove that you could charge much like the way you see characters for MUGEN have.

You can also activate some of the bars special attributes including:
-Infinite Level One Supers on Low Life
-Lv 1/Lv2/Lv3/No Super available when Meter is full
-Damage Increses: 10%/15%/20% when Meter is full

Of course there would be a point system and only a limited selection is allowable, but at the same time, there would be an Infinite Points mode ^_^. I came up with this idea when I wished I could make a Groove based off of Last Blade 2's Power system (an S or P Groove bar without charge up with the Infinite Lv 1 Supers on Low life). It's a little flimsy right now, but done correctly, something like this COULD work I think.

Bonus/Game Modes/Etc:

Ok some of the obvious stuff:

Art Gallery: Like in CvS/Pro. Self Explanatory.

Character Unlocking: Get Points for completeing the game to unlock extra characters like MvC2, SvC, and CvS

Mini Games: Games featuring popular Capcom and SNK characters much like the ones found in SvC for the NGPC

Modes: Arcade, 3-on-3, and Ratio should be here, but I think 2-on-2 tag like in SvC would be cool here. NOTHING like Marvel vs Capcom, just a nice switch in-switch out mode of fighting much like SFEX3 or Tekken Tag.

Create a character: More than just the Name and Color Edit. Like SvC, you should be able to create custom win phrases and such. Your own "Tag Team name" which they have in SvC would be cool too. I would add Theme Music Edit , but I'm taking in account that CvS3 (even CvS2) had too mnay characters to have their own themes, then again KOF2002 is having character themes and they have something like 50 some odd characters. Who knows?

Master Super Moves: A Feature in SvC where if you got enough points, you could unlock a character's "Ultimate Move" to be learned and used in battle. For example, Ken's was the Shippu Jinrai Kyaku, Evil Ryu's was a MvC styled Beam super, Ryo's was the Heaven's Glaze Punch, and so on.

Well I believe that's all for now. Please comment.

Great thoughts!!! A very well-developed game plan...but will Capcom take it? They can't imagine a 2D fighter (or ANY fighter) without their dear Ryu. I would like to play this, but I doubt Capcom DARE make this.
