Gonna just pop in to say my posts regarding Persona's popularity in the west weren't using my finest logic last night.

I was tired and a bit cranky. :p Persona has obviously got itself a pretty healthy standing over here in the west; using Terry probably would've been a better comparison for talking about Touhou's popularity in the west.

Or Amaterasu, Viewtiful Joe, Frank West, M. Bison, Chun-Li, Tron Bonne, MegaMan.EXE, Arthur, Strider Hiryu, Mike Haggar...

Also imagine trying to pit Capcom fans against each other. lmao

Looking forward to that Phoenix Kujo vs EDGE episode.

Saw FeliciaFan's Sol Badguy moveset video. Pretty neat. With Kyo disconfirmed, Sol would be my go-to FG character next.
It's a great video that really shows what the character can do and why he's so cool. The music editing in it drives me crazy, though, but at least it gets the job done.

I mean, I kinda knew that already because I used to play Xrd -SIGN- during college. Sol is in that field where he's not one of my biggest wants, but I'd be hyped for sure if he got in.

I do think that giving him basically three neutral Bs is overkill, but some concepts in the video are interesting. Plus, with KoF's Max Gauge out of the way, GG seems like the way to go in giving a FG character a gauge gimmick.

Sol Badguy seems like a really fun character too.

I need to play Guilty Gear sometime soon.

Oh, on the subject of fighting games, I had a ton of weird dreams last night and one of them was a Smash dream where Sakurai mentioned Baraka in a Smash Direct and everyone got really confused because he hadn't had a trailer or anything but it seemed like he was going to be fighter 5.

I like those kinds of dreams.

They can get really silly.

Once I dreamt we were getting someone called “Madden Player”. He was a football player who looked like Pit on his Melee trophy.

I love Phoenix as much as the next the person, but y'all need to bandwagon on my girls Ruby Heart and Yellow Iris.

Why would Capcom create a French speaking, anchor/whip wielding, ghost-throwing pirate captain (who casually managed to assemble a team of some of Marvel and Capcom's best) that uses magical artifacts and pilots a giant flying ship just for one fighting game? Or a Latina bounty hunter who's also a supermodel, that's somehow part cat (because downloadable superpowers from a floppy disk), who also uses a whip and fights alongside her pet fox that can burst into flames.

In all seriousness, literally any Capcom character would be cool.

Seriously why the **** haven't they made a Ruby Heart game yet? It's the easiest sell in the world. Make it an RPG where you pillage and plunder or something. Like a modern Skies of Arcadia or Rogue Galaxy. She at least should have been back in the future MvC games. C'mon!

Phoenix will always be Capcom most wanted number 2 for me (1 was Mega Man), but I'd unironically like Ruby Heart or Amingo. I know it probably wont happen, with their home series being Marvel Vs. Capcom and all, but it could be really fun to have rotund cactus man in Smash summoning little plants.

Baraka is an odd choice for a MK rep, but I wouldn't complain if it happens

A bit late to the Darkstalkers discussion, but if they can't get Morrigan due to ratings issues, Hsien Ko would be a pretty good alternative imo. She's an iconic character with her own fair share of crossover experience and amazing moveset potential.

You're seriously gonna advertise Phoenix with that image? Please tell me this is a joke. If it were a real Phoenix leak, it should've been showing more details. I've seen better stuff than this. Bruh.
Funny you should say that. Pretty much every 4chan text leak that turned out to be real had barely any details to it.

We talkin' about dreams? I dreamed a few weeks ago that they were adding Phoenix Wright, but it was a weird, live-action version of him that appeared in the Joker movie for some reason.

When I first used Ruby Heart, I was like "I wonder what game she's from". There's storytelling in her moveset, and it seemed like it referenced a bunch of stuff from a game I never heard of. She collects crazy loot with magical powers. When I grew up and finally learned she was an OC for that game, I was like "REALLY?" Then when she wasn't in MvC3, I knew the dream was deferred.

Her anachronistic design can work in any kind of setting. Games set in the past, future, present, whatever. Ruby just flies in and does her pirate thing. I could see her in a platformer (especially), adventure game, RPG, visual novel, games like Soul Calibur and Assassin's Creed, etc. I'm surprised she hasn't been used as much as she should've been. She's so cool.

I completely agree.

They should at least bring her back for MvC4 if they don’t dare to give her a new game.

I see quite a lot of potential on the character.

I hate to drag up a previous discussion, but about Grant Kirkhope's response previously to Banjo which has been used to advocate for Sora. Kirkhope's exact words were "Don't Hold your breath". Looking back, that statement is pretty vague enough to not break NDA since it's more of saying "maybe, but I doubt it." instead of saying "Nope he's not in." So yeah I definitely think Travis, Master Chief, and Sora are out as FP5 with that in mind since if they were in, they wouldn't have said no directly.
Keep in mind that Frank O' Conor denied Halo 1 and 2 anniversary. So there is a reason to doubt his statement.

Maybe this is just wishful thinking, but I find it VERY odd that Microsoft was the only company that hasn’t gotten Mii Costumes associated with them so far.

Could this have been done so Steve and Master Chief wouldn’t be deconfirmed for post pass?

:(

At least she's in Street fighter canon now, kind of. Maybe she'll show up in the new SFV edition.
I would even welcome her as a guest character in SFV at this point.

That or hopefully a better SFVI.

But yeah, time is the one who always tells.

If memory serves, her, Amingo and SonSon are scrapped Capcom characters that got reused in MvC2. RH was supposedly a Darkstalkers character, Sonson was from a sequel to an old game that never came to be and for Amingo we know only that he was gonna be the protagonist of his own IP, but nothing else about it.

I'll try digging the source when I'm not on mobile.

TBH, Amaterasu and Phoenix are the only characters from Capcom I'd really get excited over.

One big reason I want Amaterasu is because it'll be the closest thing I'll ever get to having Wolf Link. Plus, Okami is just really, really cool.

Phoenix Wright is a huge want for me because lawyer man is a pretty cool dude. Just look at how cool he is.

So that explains why I never knew where Amingo came from.
