Over the last month, I've been brainstorming some ideas for a spiritual successor to Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. I made an intial concept for a "Tezuka vs. Capcom" thanks to that art exhibit collaboration that Capcom announced with Tezuka Productions, but ended up falling flat due to failing to visualize how characters from the Tezuka side would be realistically potrayed in a fighting game, and also the fact that a lot of the company's characters (aside from Astro Boy) happen to be VERY obscure to a lot of people.
Next, I settled on "Studio TRIGGER vs. Capcom" .... that one ended up being scrapped as well. Mainly because of the limited number of series that Trigger had under their belt. So ultimately, I choose to do a conceptualization for a "Shonen JUMP vs. Capcom" to settle this. This kind of dream crossover is something that many people want to see become a reality as I've seen online, so I thought I'd try my hand in this.
