^ How long ago did he say that becuase he might have been talking about the psp version or something.  Hopefully it's an all new Power Stone game for the Wii.
But yeah dude I hope so.  I would love for there to be at least one character from PS.  Mainly Falcon, Ryoma and Wang Tang.

I definitely did not see this one coming. I'll be amazed if this game is officially released in the US but I'm definitely going to import it.

Who wants to start taking bets on the roster? We'll probably see a couple more SF characters tossed in, and my guess is it'll be the following: Zangief (who has inexplicably been the only other SF character besides Ryu and Chun to be in every Vs game), Guile, Akuma, Cammy, Sakura, and hopefully Dan.

I'm sure we'll see Mega Man, Capt. Commando, Strider, and Dante, and I imagine we'll get at least one character from Darkstalkers (My money's on Morrigan, Demitri, Felicia, or Talbain) and Resident Evil (Probably Leon or Jill, though Chris has a good shot what with RE5 coming up). I'm hoping for Tron Bonne or at least a ServBot to pop up as a PC as well, and the fact that there's a Bonne-themed background seems to suggest there's a good chance of that.

But of course the real question is who will be on the Tatsu side... Shinji Ikari? I have a hard time imagining that little wiener beating up on Ryu (though I'd love to see Chun-Li beat his pansy *** hard with her lightning kick super). But some representative from the Eva series seems pretty likely. My guess is Gendo Ikari, Rei, Asuka, or Misato. Probably Gendo, since he was the second-most important character in the series. And Speed Racer seems like a no-brainer.

Macross sounds like another likely series to be represented in the game. I don't really know anything about the characters except that one of them, Minmei, is pretty much one of the most hated characters in anime fandom I've ever seen. Kinda like how Colette Brunel from Tales of Symphonia is just about the most hated character in RPG fandom.

I want Dante from DMC to be in this game.

Am I the only one who thinks this game is going to turn out like Capcom Fighting Evolution?

That's impossible because this game will actually be more than a cheap copy-and-paste job using sprites that are up to ten years old.

Honestly I think the fact that Capcom isn't even waiting to see if SF4 does well before working on another 2D fighter is a good sign. It shows they're serious about reviving the genre and the SF franchise.

I think that shows that they don't have much faith in SF4.  They should be putting all their efforts into SF4 and SF2HD because those games have huge rep. to live up to.  SF2/3 were both Tourney ready and have become the benchmarks.  But now with demand for lagless online and the fact that those titles have to be well balanced, I really don't think Capcom is taking this too seriously.
Maybe it's the fact that I'm not a fan of most cell shade titles(due to laziness) but stack that 2 level tone ryu against sf2hd, sf3, cvs2 and tell me which one looks like time and effort was put in.
CVS2 also has the 2d sprite with 3d/2.5d background and it looks magnificent.  This game looks like it belongs on ps1.
