EDIT : I HATE ALL OF YOU.
I voted to keep Ishmael's thread and erase the other one, just because it had more words.
quote:
So what is the consensus on TvC? Is it a "serious" fighting game or is it viewed as being more of a lark? Does it have a following? Can it actually be played on the Wii without a specialized controller?
Random bits of info I remember about the game:
*If you don't have an arcade stick (and who could blame you for a Wii) the classic controler is just fiine. If you don't have aa classic controller, go buy one asap.
*it has a small bugs that makes it freeze if a GC controller is plugged when you start the game. just unplug it and plug it once it's started, and you should be fine.
*The autosave feature is not ON by default, so remember to save once you have unlocked a few characters.
As for the game itself, I remembered a very fun game to play casually with friends, but a bit broken (Karasu and Ryû>>>>> everyone else).
I just checked the 2ch forum, and things seem to have evolved quite a bit in the meantime :
Main character
Ｓ Ken Karas Yattaman1 Doronjo (I'm not sure if it's the usual fate of all technical characters ruling everyone once you've studied them and only them for 6 month, or just a joke to have Doronjo in the "S" category)
Ｓ－ Rock Chunli
Ａ Cashern Jun Ryû Morrigan
Ｂ Tekkaman Batsu Roll
Ｃ Polymer Alex Sôki
Assist Ranking
Ｓ Polymer Morrigan Chunli Rock
Ｓ－ Karas Tekkaman Ryû
Ａ Jun Batsu Alex Roll
Ｂ Ken Cashern Doronjo Sôki
Ｃ Yattaman1
If people have played it long enough to actually have an assist ranking, then I guess the crowd have played it quite deep enough (though I'd like to know how Polymer and Ryû could have fallen so low). Also, this is a ranking for serious players (has the game een selected for the Tôgeki?) so no Wii characters nor giants are in it (though Gold Lightern has been studied quite a lot if I recall correctly).
The problem for the game to be enjoyed completely casually (beside the obscurity of many characters) is that it has quite a few beginner killers (Rockman, Saki, Karas, the two giants, Sôki, Batsu...). If you crack the trick (or just don't use them unfairly against a newbie) it's very good for a casual friend night. I loved Alex and Sôki, even though they are clearly a bit weaker then the rest.
Also, the major quality of the game is that, of all the cast, it has only 5 characters that have already appeared in other fighting games. Everyone else is new, so you have plenty of room to explore and discover.
I don't understand the game being released in the US. I was dead sure it would have the Tatsunoko half replaced by Marvel characters (you KNOW it make sense to have Sentinel instead of Gold Lightern). But if this mean we can have a sequel, oh, god, BRING IT ON !!!
I wonder if they will change anything to the game (or even fix the small bugs I talked about.

Given that Speed Racer is Tatsunoko's most famous manga and anime in the US I guess he is a smart choice.
Wow, given this news in general, I almost don't want to get my hopes up for extras, but yes, I was originally shocked to hear that Speed was not included in the game, but I have no clear idea what his Japanese popularity is. Berg Katse would be appreciated, personally.
Capcom has made some interesting and surprising choices all along here, so I can't really say who I'd suspect. Bionic Commando could be a convenient inclusion given the remake/new game/whatever lately, but then so would more Street Fighter boringness. I almost don't want it to be someone like Strider or Captain Commando.
FAKE EDIT: Okay, nevermind, I would love it if it was Captain Commando. Now that I've said that I'll accept no one else!
