Possible interest in a Nintendo X Capcom fighter A MUST READ.

[Gamegenie222]

Yoshinori Ono from Capcom wants to pitch a idea creating a crossover fighter with Nintendo but he wants to tell the idea to Nintendo of Japan and super smash brothers creator Masahiro Sakurai so that he can get the green light for the project. The article is below this paragraph for the source of the website providing this info.

So what do you guys of this, would you support this would you not, your opinion about it and any idea's of how our community can benefit for this? DISCUSS!

 

[vVv Rapture]

Oh I'm so up for this. Please make it MvC style.

Please.

I beg of you.

EDIT: @Capcom

 

[Life]

Smash characters use Smash controls and Capcom characters use MvC contr... no, that's a terrible idea.

So now Ryu can fight Mario and Ken can fight Marth? Get hyped.

 

[UltiMario]

This could end well.

VERY well.

NvC hype.

 

[Gamegenie222]

You guys are forgetting we can have a Akuma vs MK fight to see which one is the better god tier character.

 

[Dragoon Fighter]

Super smash bros. vs capcom, Just awesome. That would be one of the best surprises for SSB4.

 

[Claire Diviner]

I'm thinking more along the lines of Sagat vs. MK, but Akuma can do nicely too.

Also, he did announce interest, but - at the cost of being a buzzkill - it doesn't necessarily guarantee that such a game will ever exist. From a financial standpoint, it will do extremely well, and seeing as Capcom has had a good track record with Nintendo, including helping with making The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/Ages, and The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, it isn't exactly as far as a flight of fancy to think it will happen. Still, don't get overly hyped over something that may end up being too good to be true.

I wonder who would make the roster on the Capcom side. Ryu and SF characters seem a no-brainer for a fighting game but if they get Sakurai on board he might think it'd be too hardcore or might want to avoid it because he wants to go the casual path.

 

[Claire Diviner]

but if they get Sakurai on board he might think it'd be too hardcore or might want to avoid it because he wants to go the casual path.

My fear exactly.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

 

[Landry]

I doubt Nintendo would be upset if it was a hardcore game as long as Capcom was producing it; I don't think that'll be their biggest problem. Honestly I think it's going to be a lot harder just to get Nintendo on board just in general. But man... can you imagine the hype this game would have? Oh my god.

EDIT: I'd like to see an actual transcript before we all get gung-ho about this.

 

[UberMario]

I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

 

[Big-Cat]

My main concern is Sakurai. Hopefully though, Capcom can talk some sense into Sakurai that it's better when only one wins instead of everyone.

 

[Shorts]

This could end well, but has massive potential to end terrible.

Not trying to be a downer, just remember how totally different Nintendo's fighting games and Capcom's fighting games are.

*whispers* Yee! That's my hype, for now.

 

[Landry]

This could end well, but has massive potential to never happen.

I fixed it for you.

 

[Anth0ny]

this would be godlike.

However, it should be up to Capcom.

Unless they do a Smash Bros x Capcom and Capcom x Smash Bros, like what street fighter is going for tekken. One game in the smash bros engine, and one in the 2d fighter engine.

**** WOULD BE REDICULOUS

 

[BigDaddy4]

Ono and Sakurai: they will fuse to become troll legends.

 

[DtJ SmithZzz]

I'm slightly scared.

slightly

 

[Big-Cat]

Ono and Sakurai: they will fuse to become troll legends.

Ono just likes to start debates for the hell of it; Sakurai makes everyone miserable.

Oh dear God...

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Starting debates for the hell of it that make everyone miserable?

Sounds like American politics! *da boom tish*

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

This would be very interesting!

 

[asia_catdog_blue]

If this does happen, I hope they don't get lazy with the voice acting.

I want Mario Characters to actually SAY SOMETHING. It could be meaningful of not. I just don't want it to be complete grunts and groans. Ditto Donkey Kong.

Kirby could mimic whatever his enemy says.

The Pocket Monsters could either go "Ordinary Speak" od Mystery Dungeon Speak."

Link can remain silent(though, it would look stupid if Zelda and Ganon did the same).

 

[Jonas]

I think the console would get destroyed from all the brokenness.

Two words. And the first one is "FAAAAAAAALCONE". You can guess the second.

I still think a special victory pose for Ken vs. Marth would be hilarious. Kinda like Fox and Falco/Wolf.

And Mega Man being bitter about not being in Brawl would be even funnier.

But no need to talk fan-jokes. Somebody talk about the cast. On Nintendo's side I'm thinking the 64 vets (+/- Jiggs) plus Marth and MK. Capcom... look at MvC3 for ideas? Not so sure there.

 

[Jonas]

Marth vs Dante MUST happen.
I'd also like to see Bowser vs Zangief.
and Captain Falcon vs Bison.

 

[Gamegenie222]

Ganon vs Bison people but also the success varies on what console it is released on as well.

 

[Big-Cat]

I just want to see:

Mario vs. Ryu, Link vs. Dante, Capt. Falcon vs. Viewtiful Joe, Samus vs. Chun-Li (or Viper, but mostly Chun), Ganondorf vs. Bison, Pikachu vs. Amaterasu (or Blanka), Meta-Knight vs. Akuma, and Fox vs. Chris.

I think it would be better if the game was released on console instead of handheld. As much as I like playing on handhelds, I doubt a whole lot of people will take a fighter on a handheld seriously

 

[RATED]

Falcon vs Zangief hype. Who's the manliest ever. Dedede vs Zangief= Hilarious.

Metaknight vs Akuma, **** gets real.

Zero vs Marth

This would be ****ing epic if sakurai is dead. I don't want to see a SF character or any capcom character tripping.

Fox would be a **** character

 

[Kitamerby]

What bugs me, however, is that Nintendo has a knack for characters that aren't exactly in human proportion.

I don't know about you guys, but even though Viewtiful Joe is fun, I wouldn't want to see his size thrown across the entire cast, and if they instead scaled up the characters, they'd just look nightmarish. They'd have to give most of the cast either entire make-overs, or ridiculous hurtboxes.

Nintendo characters (minus Link) have never been in a traditional fighting game, remember.

And I'm not too fond of all the Sakurai hate in this thread. Remember, guys, that he made Melee, and from a financial standpoint, Brawl was in every word a success, even if it was unfinished. It's still the world's most popular game right now and one of the most loved, even if it's by only the casual community.

 

[Life]

I thought Mario made a cameo in one. IDR tho.

 

[Zook]

I don't see why everyone is so paranoid about Sakurai possibly being involved in this and making it a 'casual' game. You are aware that he also directed Melee, right?

 

[UltiMario]

He's also claimed he worked indefinitely harder on Melee than Brawl.

So if Sakurai actually TRIES this'll end up ****ing amazing.

 

[Landry]

Ganon vs Bison people but also the success varies on what console it is released on as well.

It would have to be the Wii. I mean, obviously Nintendo wouldn't back any other system, unless you're proposing that it could be a hand held title.

I don't see why everyone is so paranoid about Sakurai possibly being involved in this and making it a 'casual' game. You are aware that he also directed Melee, right?

He's also said that he never wants to make a game like Melee again. He want smash to be more casual. That's why we've got to hope his involvement (at least as far as game development) is limited in this potential project. I'm not anti Sakurai, but personally I'm not sure he's going to be thrilled with this idea anyway.

Honestly I think that since it would be Capcom's proposal to Nintendo then Capcom would have to do most of the game development. They really just need Nintendo to sign off on it in order to use their characters. Here's to hoping.

Also, guys, keep in mind that there is literally no evidence behind this rumor. There's one website and it doesn't even give us a transcript of the official statement. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

 

[ryuu seika]

Eating SF characters = Win!

 

[Jonas]

He has a cameo in SSFIV (sort of). Go to Skyscraper under Construction and look at for a guy in the left side of the stage

 

[KururuSouchou]

My guess is that if this were to become a reality, it would probably just reuse the Tatsunoko vs. Capcom engine. Not that that's a bad thing by any means - it's accessible enough not to alienate the more casual Nintendo fans, but has enough depth to appease fans of conventional fighters.

While I highly doubt this will come to fruition, I'd love it if it did happen - I'd love to be able to play as various Nintendo characters in a proper fighting game. As much as I love Smash Bros., it's really more of a fighting/platformer hybrid.

 

[Ghostbone]

So much potential for this.

Imagine Diddy in the SF engine.
That would be awesome.
And broken.

G&W in the SF engine.

Mewtwo............I would want Mewtwo to be in this so much.

So much hype

As it turns out, I was actually thinking of Ridley, but M.Bison has that one costume (it's Bison, right? And it's a costume, not a hack, right? I fail at SF)

Bison doesn't have anything of the sort. The only costumes he has is Damaged Bison, Mecha-Bison, and General Bison/Thriller Bison. There aren't any Nintendo references, not even a Blankachu.
