Capcom vs. Tatsunoko video blowout!

Capcom is back with their latest tag team brawl fest, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. In these latest videos courtesy of Gamemanx from EVO 2008, we see just how the gameplay goes down. And from the looks of it fighting fans are in for a treat! That’s if this game manages to reach U.S. shores. For now peep the insane combos, air juggles and slick gfx’s in the videos below.

WTF?! RYU vs. Gatchaman!

WOW! Someone was feeling a little left out with the fighting game crossovers! Capcom just dropped news about their latest crossover fight fest. Titled Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes, this game will mash capcom’s universe within the universe of one of Japan’s most famous animation studios. Now, if you’re not familiar with Tatsunoko you may be with some of their characters like SpeedRacer, Gatachamn (aka battle of the planets here in the u.s.), Casshern: Robot hunter and one of their most famous animes Neon Genesis Evangelion. If you want to know alittle more about the studio, you can check’em out here. There isn’t too much info known about this game yet but from what you see in the pics, it looks to bring back capcom’s popular tag battle system they used in previous crossover games (marvel vs. capcom, x-men vs. sf, amrvel vs. capcom 2,etc.). Also it seems they’re going with 3d characters and backgrounds on a 2d plane. I don’t think capcom is ready to embrace a full on 3d fighting game yet ala tekken or soul calibur and quite frankly, i have no problem with it… long live 2d!. Anyways this game will be hiting arcades across Japan this year and although only a couple of characters are shown, knowing capcom you can expect a sh*t load of characters from both worlds to select from. We’ll keep you posted on new videos and info once it comes. In the meantime enjoy the pics below.

Confirmed…Chun Li is a man!

Or at least it looks like it from these recent new photos of her from the official Street Fighter 4 blog. It appears her texture mapping has gone under a bit of change and now features a bit more detail in her hair and eyes as well as softer shading. But HOT DAMN, look at those hands! Capcom, WTF! I mean seriously folks, look at that opposable thumb. She can break a mans neck with those things. Gone is the beautiful Chun Li from Street Fighter 3 only to be replaced by this…this abomination. I don’t know what Capcom was thinking, but they used to be held in high regards for their illustrated art work. But since this whole 3D thing, they seem to have lost something in the translation.

Here’s a before and after comparison

Note the hands still remain FUGLY!!!!

Street Fighter IV – MAN – ‘ISH!!

WTF! I have loads of Work Time Fun daily but it must be rediculous over at Capcom. I know the art team went a different direction with SF IV recently but the Chun-MANLI’NESS is seriously out of control. Stop the madness. I mean just look at her hands -
