SGB Review - Tatsunoko vs. Capcom

[@gemini04126]

"Unless you use Zero. Then I'll use Zero. (pause)... Zero."

[@esmooth919]

Iz hee tryina tell iz zometing?

[@justinc.5591]

5:40 “if there’s one thing I hate, it’s lag.” *shows Smash Bros* Ah, some things never change.

[@taiman2152]

Now that the collection is coming out, anyone else want him to do a review of the Marvel vs Capcom series

[@GiordanDiodato]

You can't really compare NamcoxCapcom with Marvel vs. Capcom since NxC is a strategy RPG.

[@tracyndiyob162]

capcom vs snk i can see since it felt lesser in some areas but yeah namcoxcapcom is an rpg that was never released here so not a good comparison.

[@ReiAyanami8]

Yet another under-appreciated game that sold poorly just because it was on the Wii. Even though the Wii had a MASSIVE install base.... Man, is it just me, or was the Wii era weird as hell when it came to Nintendo fans. "The Wii doesn't have enough games for CORE gamers." Or, "I'd get the game, if it wasn't on the Wii." **facepalm**

[@FOG2006]

The game had bad sells mostly because Tatsunoko is a completely weird thing outside of Japan. The problem with the Wii era, is that Nintendo was taking a direction that the gamers are not linking it, nor even the most diehard Nintendo fanboy was happy with the Wii direction. That's the main reason of why Nintendo made the Wii U focused on core games, but despite the Wii U being an excellent console, it's failing in your main objective, and now, third party companies are avoiding the console at all costs, making Nintendoomed articles and videos exploding in popularity.

[@misternice4667]

This game rocked..I spent hours upon hours playing it.

[@tjlnintendo]

Thankfully Nintendo has learned their lesson with the switch

[@dontegraves5051]

Just some notes. This game thrived on the Wii. Capcom notably stated it sold far better than they initially expected. They are known to not provide very high marketing or backing for the localization of many titles that aren't initial cash crops to that specific region (God Hand, Sengoku Basara). Tatsunoko Productions as a whole decided on the Wii as a platform. This likely due in part to having released previous titles based on their characters on the system. Capcom settled on the Wii due to it's install base and drastically lower developmental costs--note that they still needed to obtain a license for every character planned for the game, even before development (which eventually lead to several Tatsunoko characters being dropped in the long run). The original arcade game was based on Wii architecture and simply ported over to the Wii with some features (and all of the glitches). And the entire reason the game was brought over was to appeal to a broader audience.

[@TerraFuu]

@@dontegraves5051 Got some sources on this? I'm interested in reading more about TvC.

[@KerzacTransformed]

This game still looks amazing even today.

[@bronsonferrigno2453]

I guess Zero is the Meta Knight of this game.

[@zeethezebra]

Bronson Ferrigno that seems implied.

[@TheHedgememe]

Zero's amazing in every crossover fighting game he's in.

[@tracyndiyob162]

happy 15th anniversary tatsunoko vs. capcom!!! :3 the last vs. game i got into & hope we someday see a rerelease with the scrapped characters/minigames included.

[@sayianin]

One of the best fighting games ever unfortunately sentenced to obscurity by poor marketing. Almost no one heard about it when it came out.

[@SomecallmeJohnny]

@FIGHTFANNERD3 You really think so? Was it the character themes? Because I miss those too.

[@esmooth919]

Gold refrigerator...LMAO!

[@Rhythm_Rev]

holy shit i had no idea johnny ever reviewed this game. damn

[@gumgum99]

Wow, these videos are getting better and better. Great review! ^_^

[@HubPie3]

Never deny Zero. He will, I repeat, WILL, win every time.

[@Higesgirl]

Rival Schools... Why don't you have more games?! ;~;

[@tracyndiyob162]

at the very least give the series a rerelease like your planning to with other series since its on the playstation store in japan.

[@vergil165]

lol im glad im not the only one that thought that Zero was the most over powered fighter in the game. given i didnt complain cuz hes my favorite video game Character

[@zhaoyun255]

and he still was OP in MvC3 and UMvC3 regardless. THAT LIGHTNING LOOP that even ChrisG's team (Morrigan, Doom, Vergil) had problems with.

[@dragonkid9332]

i love gold refridgerator

[@ConRad1092]

Wonder if he would ever redo these videos, cause man.... some of these games need the modern Johnny touch.

[@TeamHedge]

I just recently got this game and boy,you weren't kidding about the combat system being easy to use and pick up.I feel like a pro even though I've only played the game for literally 8 hours.I've gotten to where I can really own with Viewtiful Joe and Yatterman-1,now if only I was convinced enough to go get a router for my Wii,something tells me I'd be playing this for days.

[@hectornoli1387]

Great game I played this with my dad all the time

[@gamster96]

you are one of the lucky ones, lets pray that the 4th game will have great wifi for everyone.

[@Gurpwnder]

Hey Johnny, have you discovered the fun little arcade shooting game yet?

[@BlazingAzureTheta]

@SomecallmeJohnny What do you think of the character themes that came back?

[@MarioFanaticXV]

Samanosuke is based off the likeness of an actor named Takeshi Kaneshiro, who did the motion capture and Japanese voice work for the character. Contracting him is relatively expensive as far as gaming voice actors go, and there'd be some large backlash from the fans if they had included Samanosuke without doing such (not to mention, they'd still need his permission to use his likeness). Thus, we got Soki instead.

[@Soundwves]

John, will you review Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds when it comes out?

[@jonathanplooij3666]

5:43 savage

[@JakeMoore0968]

Johhny in Newport Kentucky At Gameworks there is Marvel vs Capcom 2 arcade cabinet

[@JazzyTyfighter]

No Speed Racer or classic Mega Man. This was still a good game, but I can't help but feel like this was a missed opportunity.

[@randomidkwhattoputinthis859]

I think they wanted to use speed racer but copyright was a bit tough for licensing rights

[@hedgehoundable]

What I find to be hilariously paradoxal is that Casshan sparked the Mega Man X series, and here we have Zero from Mega Man X and Cashan in the same place. It's like a grandfather who never knew his son, meets his grandchild.

[@crowofrevelry]

@Nayrman214 Well, a bit late, but "Metaknight territory"? I just picked up Brawl a few days ago, and from what I've played he isn't broken or overpowered. I played a few matches online with a friend cross-country, and one didn't win when one chose MK. (We both did it twice.) Seeing as you've been a gamer for a longer time, mind explaining?

[@weegee9k656]

I would get this, but i would probably play as the capcom characters 99% of the time

[@quote2035]

Frank West + Karas Instant wins.

[@seanMmaguire1]

Are you and Eliot psyched for Marvel vs Capcom 3?

[@DanteKoolMuniz]

Hey are you ever gonna review Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 or Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite?

[@57yearoldjamesbond]

Infinite? He’s nooooot weeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkk

[@TheTC]

Why wasn't the Samurai Pizza Cats here...

[@nunchuk28]

good review johnny, I was actually quite cuirious to pick up this game. Lol, that Brawl reference was perfect :P

[@IvanovIvanAKrutoi]

Will you review Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3?

[@Xiao2070]

ok, since you review this game, it leads to one important (ok, maybe important but still...) question, when you buy "Marvel vs. Capcom 3" would you review that cause I swear to god, i'm so psyched XD

[@Sonnakai]

Will you ever review Marvel vs. Capcom 2?

[@KrisTehDerp]

they should make a capcom vs konami, it be awesome to see mega man and simon belmot fighting, or maybe solid snake and chris redfield

[@keybladeknight5289]

How’s Smash Bros Ultimate?

[@pichufire2]

the mini games in the original version were also taken out

[@JoJoFan87]

Hey Johnny why don't you review "BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend" that's a great game and I would like to hear your opinion on it.

[@pyrolee17]

My friend... you dont mean Galaxy Pinball on 40th street do you?

[@TheMarioMan247]

1) TvC had done so well it led to the digital release of MvC 1 and 3 and finally 3 2) The anime cut scenes were taken out due to taksunoko (and due to MvC's picture endings, it was still allowed 3) Frank West and Zero were US exclusives 4)You can unlock a minigame by collecting all the cold letter in the credits after you beat a story (in japan, everyone had a minigame) 5) this game sold better than MvC3 and UmvC3 combined

[@buzzbuzz1477]

TheMarioMan247

[@michaelrhett4958]

Do you hate the new comment system Blazikengod?

[@gamerteenps3360]

Will you review Marvel vs Capcom 3????

[@SuperNintendoGameboy]

They should make a Minions (Despicable Me) vs Rabbids. Reviews on the Run said that and I lol'd at the idea.

[@MegaCybershadow]

Johnny why is it when you give a X.0 score you say zero seems kind of redundant

[@IvanovIvanAKrutoi]

@LewizX90 You mean the Japanese version?

[@MasterZeroX567]

Zero 4 the win any game that has Zero as a fighter is in my collection Zero gotta love him XD

[@UltimateSonic99999]

When are going to review Marvel vs Capcom 3

[@prof_hoot]

Is Zero incredibly broken or something? Is that why you don't want us to use him or else you'll use him?

[@boru25]

I'd glady take you on but I don't have a Wii. I'd like to try this game!

[@gespenstmk-iii111]

Does Karas turn into a jet?

[@Soundwves]

@freshtrav97 It's the Megeman [X] costume. You unlock it in the actual game. WITH A REAL MEGA BUSTER. And a fake one that shoots tennis balls.

[@HunterGust12]

These are the faces of EEVVVIILL.

[@VGAfanatic]

Morrigan and Zero are some of my favorites, too.

[@T1Ryze]

Can someone explain to me why Zero was emphasized at the end of the video?

[@Triforce9426]

Are Casshan and Casshern the same thing?

[@TruthTeller365]

Ahh, that intro is so nostalgic for me.

[@fallen_ataraxia]

The Brawl disc is like "I'M LOOKING AT YOU,BRAWL."

[@hypersaiyangoku]

Wander what is would be like if they did Capcom vs Dragonball Z (Budokai 1, 2, 3 Style)

[@AubreyTheKing]

This game is pretty fun, I might own it oneday. Great review johnny! :)

[@necrogenesis1981]

I use Frank and Zero as well, occasionally I switch it up with Zero and Karas, he's a badass.

[@Chocolian]

6:09-6:12 Zero.

[@Zane_TMH]

6:11 what is zero over powered in that game

[@Zane_TMH]

"unless you use zero. In which case i'll use zero ...... zero"

[@RenzyTheGreat]

Im surprised you haven't reviewed marvel vs Capcom 3 or ultimate marvel vs Capcom 3

[@chatotalks5325]

how is this the only vs game you've looked at?

[@AzureZero20XX]

Aahhhh awesome, you reviewed this!

[@justinvdmerwe4225]

i miss this opening

[@ShadowkingSonic]

My friend once said that Zero line, so I guess he watched this before I did. Or... *head explodes from realizing something I dont know.*

[@iViking90]

Tatsunoko also made Mach GoGoGo, which here in America is Speed Racer.

[@Vamps17]

Oh man, my best friend and I spent hours playing X-men vs. Street Fighters. We used to love that game soooooooo much...

[@TheClassicalgamer1]

Even though I'm not a huge fan of fighting games( Brawl however was awesome). I may consider renting this. Thank for another good review.

[@Sir_Bone-Head]

okay, who couldn't help but laugh when he said Golden Refridgerator?

[@RunnerGuitar]

Why "unless we use Zero" are you afraid of the W version of Megaman?

[@WolfThunder29]

Johnny, I think you should do a "Month of Marvel vs Capcom" (or Marvel vs Capcom Marathon) doing the following reviews in the following order: Johnny vs. X-Men: Children of the Atom/Marvel Super Heroes Johnny vs. X-Men vs. Street Fighter/Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter Johnny vs. Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes Johnny vs. Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes Johnny vs. Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds/Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3

[@JaySoul55]

Are you going to review marvel vs capcom 3

[@That4head]

Johnny vs Marvel vs Capcom 3... That doesn't sound right...

[@DestuctionProduct]

If he does it, i bet it will be a SGB review and not Johnny vs.

[@Preeve]

But he doesn't do SGB reviews anymore, does he?

[@chuggaaconroyfanboy1]

that golden fridge was sunshine from kinnikuman or muscle for us americans but the anime was never released here in the us but the sequel called ultimate muscle was released but the first episode is so weird watch and you will understand or watch nakateleeli's let's muscle series so he can explain the back story

[@Sl1myCat]

You forgot Doranjo in the character run down.

[@MagnisionZero]

The only bad with MvC2 is that damn jazz music! Adding you to friend list Johnny, prepare for zero >:3

[@M3rtyville]

2:51 O man, I love the cartoon about this Genie *good childhood memories* xD

[@novirtual]

i can't find Zero's anime ending :c

[@ubermaster1]

Johnny: I look forward to kicking your ass Me: Time to set up my online Johnny: Unless you use Zero Me: WELL FUK!

[@1337gamer15]

zenny was the name of the currency in megaman exe and starforce

[@michaelrhett4958]

Why don't you do SGB reviews?

[@shiningKnight182]

@SomecallmeJohnny I know there's a third game coming out in 2011 but you can download marvel vs capcom 2 off xbox live

[@GameplayandTalk]

Excellent review!

[@93SuperSonic]

It would be cool if Johnny redid this review on his Versus Videos. Good review, but he forgot Doronjo on the Tatsunoko Side.

[@Stinger2578]

if I ever get a Wii I'll at least play Tatsunoku vs Capcom. I didn't realize that Capcom lost the Marvel license in 2005, here's hoping they get a chance to make a MvC3 eventually. Who knows, maybe Disney will make Marvel vs Disney....Kingdom Hearts 3 wih Marvel characters has been a rumor going around, though. When you said "10-year-old mind" and 1997 it made me feel really old :)

[@TheShocker345]

You forgot the wii mote on its side!

[@nerfguy1042]

I have no clue,but I'm getting the game soon so I can finally figure it out

[@videogameprof]

my copy is so scratched only have the stages work now.

[@GrayvyFellow]

The reason why Zero is a top-teir character... He is familiar to everyone (except to some Australian people.)

[@xboxgamerJ16]

gatchaman is on toonami now. i guess its a new version

[@Sonicrocks]

What is this game rated and why is it rated that?

[@spideroverlord2000]

Do a review of the marvel Vs Capcom series

[@SolarisParadox]

Haven't played it and don't really plan on it, but it looks pretty epic.

[@nerfguy1042]

6:10 Unless you use Zero,and in that case I'll use Zero.....Zero! I laughed so hard at that

[@DarkkirbyKRPG]

"Frank West who has covered wars" ROFL XD

[@TheRealDustinNunn]

This game looks okay, but it is missing Ken Masters from the Street Fighter series. Plus, this game is compatible with Wii arcade sticks.
