So, if you imported Tatsunoko vs Capcom, or plan on importing, brace yourself for some squiggles. This is not the most import friendly title, menu screens, character names, all in squiggles. It's hard to find all the information your gonna need in one place, so here you go.

1 - ummm... this menu is not in english.

The Shoryuken wiki will break down the menus and their navigation, as well as break down the gameplay basics for ya. Good place to start.

2 - hat and cape man. hat and cape duck girl. lego. who the fuck are these people?

Tatsunoko character list with names and images.

3 - great! do you know Karas' moves?
Move's list from arcade cab.

There you go, all you need to get started.

impressions:

-visually, this game impresses.
-sound-wise.. umm.. it's a Vs. game. expect bad J-Pop.
-chun li is amazing.
-i haven't played enough, but the characters do feel a little unbalanced. but when you are familiar with someone, i guess they're easier to play as.
-yami is cheap as fuck.
-the controls are tight, i've been playing with a cube controller so far, even with the analogue stick, the game is pretty spot on.

so yeah, if you were looking forward to this game, you won't be dissapointed. if your on the fence about it, but like the vs. series, i recommend it. if your unsure about it, or not a big fan of fighters, you can pass on it and not feel too guilty. the game is great for multi.. even if your friends aren't as experienced in capcom fighters, the new button layout and fairly simple combat system makes it pretty pick up and play friendly, while still rewarding to those that want to go deeper into the combat system. thumbs up for sure.
