Am I the only person who doesn't care at all to see a MK/SF crossover?
Anyway, trailer looks solid. I'm still iffy on this two games simultaneously release thing, but I'll probably only check out the Capcom developed one either way
I dont think that would have worked well bc Namco doesnt have a large assortment of characters like Capcom does. They have their 2 big fighters, Tekken and Soul Calibur and then what? Pacman, Klonoa and a bunch of obscure arcade titles from the 80s. Namco x Capacom from a few years ago was filled with a bunch of obscure unkown characters, most of which I dont think would translate well into a fighter. Its best they have this focused on Tekken bc these are their most popular and well known characters. Adding SC ones in there would have been great but I think they kept the limit to TK bc of the challenges that would have been faced trying to mesh the fighting mechanics of 3 different deep fighters into one game. Theres already going to be several compromises made with the 2 already in here, but to throw a third might unnecesarily complicate things for the Capcom developersWell, I was a little more excited for the whole of Capcom fighting for the whole of Namco, but this makes sense. Only problem for me is that I really don't have much interest in any of the Tekken characters. It's all about Street Fighting for me
I'm with ya on that one Tronne, MK as of recent has not been that great IMO, it seems like what MK lacks in flair, they replace with insane amounts of blood. Now, if it were to happen, I would definately want Capcom to do it, I dont want to see the SF characters made with the MK engine using dial-a-combos and stiff looking animations.

Pacman and Ms. Pacman? Thats a waste of a slot and I cant imagine they'd be much different to warrant a slot. Im really not too familiar with the rest of those characters but I do know Splatterhouse is getting a revival. Still it would seem like Capcom vs Tekken/Soul Calibur. Maybe in a future game they can expand beyond that. After all the Capcom vs games started out as just being Xmen vs SF before expanding to other franchises in both companies librariesSure they do.
Pacman
Ms. Pacman
Rick from Splatterhouse (who wouldn't want to see Rick in a fighting game?)
Wild Dog (Time Crisis)
Jack Slate (Dead to Rights)
Mr. Driller from Dig Dug
Granted, about 10-12 of the characters would be Soul Calibur/Tekken characters but so what? A full on Capcom vs Namco would be worth it just to have the more obscure characters like Wild Dog, Slate, Pacman, Driller, and Rick as well as Soul Calibur characters. Why settle for a roster of Tekken's second rate characters when we could just have 5 or 6 of their A-listers and a bunch of other awesome characters?
Ive found SF alot easier to get into. MK games seem to rely way to heavily on memorizing long strings of combos which are incredibly cheap. They've also been very unbalanced. I think SF has been more balanced and the fluid gameplay allows for more freedom and thus easier to beginners at least IMO.As much as I like SF, I still get enjoyment from MK. MK is an easier game, anyone can pick it up and play it, I'm not going to rip on it because of that. Some people just can't get into the more advanced SF or Tekken.
That's ok by me. MK is a game I play to just have fun and not be to serious about fighting.
IA. We are getting that of sorts with Sony's Heroes on the Move at least. Ive wanted to see Nate Drake and Lara Croft in a game together. It would be great if Square loaned her out to Sony to include in an Uncharted game. They could be after the same treasure and Nate crosses paths with Lara several times throughout the game. Uncharted's strength lies in combat whereas TR lies in exploration and level design. Im sure they could have some great ideas to share with each other.I wish this would ignite a new cross-over game craze. We get the occasionaly Sonic & Mario game and the Capcom vs franchises, but I would love if more developers would make cross-overs. Just silly, fun games that make people go crazy and just give them geekgasms. The crowd went totally wild when they watched Ryu fight Kazuya.
And not just fighting games, but all sort of games. Anyone remember Robocop Vs Terminator? Revive this **** and now give us Robocop Vs Terminator Vs Predator.
Id Love a Capcom vs Shonen Jump Game
Or Capcom vs Konami![]()
