It's a bit too early to tell on CvS3 in my opinion, especially with the current state of things at Capcom (profits down, game cuts, this rescent departure, etc...). I wouldn't be horribly surprised if they decided to go through with it, but I'm not going to hold my breath in anticipation. As for SvC2, that's a shoe-in. Most of SNK/Playmore's fighters have gotten sequels, and if they can make 10 KoF's, then I sure they're more than capible of making another SvC or two.

Capcom has shurk their roster before with their other versus games. For example, XvS had 17 characters where as MvC only had 16 (unless you start counting the varriants like Organe Hulk, which I do not).

Garou/SS5/LB3 spring 2004
Isn't Last Blade 2 suppose to be the final game in the serries? I mean, wasn't that why the DC version of the game was called "Last Blade: Final Edition" instead of "Last Blade 2"? As for Garou, which series do you mean? I thought that Garou Densetsu was pretty much done, and NeoGeoSNK USA said that(in that Penny-Arcade interview anyways) they currently did not have plans to make a sequel to Mark of the Wolves. I could easy be wrong about any of this though, I'm mostly just curious as to why you think there are new LB and garou games on the horrizon.
On a related topic, does anyone know just how much work Playmore does in-house? With all the game anouncements from them as of rescent, I'm woundering how it's all split up.

Poll
Personally, I don't think Capcom's going to be do ANY fighting games for a while (especially now that Okamoto has flown the coop).
They announced a while ago that the Alpha, SF3, and Vampire series were all dead. So, what does that leave? SF4? More Marvel-style games? CvS3 (would have to completely re-work the engine to make it playable... and we all know how Capcom feels about hard work)? CFAS (even if it does come out, very few people will care any more... unless it gets a total overhaul... once again, see Capcom's philosophy on work)? Capcom's fighting games are still my absolute favorite, but over the years they've grown incredibly complacent and downright lazy. A shame, really... probably why Okamoto left.
On the other hand, an SvC sequel is all but guaranteed.

I still think Capcom is not finished with 2D fighters because..
...the infamous "2D will never die" quote on the spine of the DC CvS2 jewel case.
...SFA3, CVS2 and MVC2, Capcoms last 2 2D fighters were immensely succesful. Capcom milks their franchises dry (RE, Megaman). Until 2D and SF become seriously unsuccesful, we'll keep getting new games.
...SF 15th anniversary. Nuff said. They will put out a game to tie into it. They are celebrating it. Just wait and see.
They were just taking a breather, a vacation. Capcom knows that its not like in the old days, when you could release a new fighter every 4-6 months. This time around, if you release a new fighting game, it has to be -THE- fighting game of the year, otherwise the arcade owners won't care. One awesome fighting game a year is more important financially then 2-4 average games a year. It's the only way you can sell new games to arcades now-a-days.
Just you wait.

Successful how? If you mean sales of arcade boards, then really only MvC2 was successful (in the US, at least... Japan's a whole other beast). As for home ports, compared to RE games or Devil May Cry, Street Fighter games don't sell for beans and haven't for many years.

If I know Capcom (which I'd like to think I do), if we get anything at all... it'll be more ports of old games (perhaps with online support). With that said, I certainly hope you're right. There is nothing I'd like more than to wake up tomorrow to the news of Capcom announcing a new 2D fighting game.
I'm just not going to bet any money on it. Okamoto's gone (creator of SF). The arcade biz is on life support. Ports of fighting games don't sell particularly well these days (especially 2D ones). Capcom's coming off one of it's worst financial quarters in its long history. Why would they sink a substantial investment in to a new 2D fighting game when they could just churn out another million-selling Onimusha or another of the BH progeny that would sell 4 or 5 times better? Not saying they won't do it... just saying that it might be awhile before they do decide to do it.
CvS3 or a new Marvel-style game could very well happen in the near future. Pre-existing engines, tons of available sprites to recycle... it could certainly happen. A NEW SF game? Not likely.
