Quantcast



If you read (or scrolled down to the end of) the Dtoid review of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, then you already know what I think of the game. But hey, I'm a (sort of) gaming journalist, right? My life, and my relationship with videogames, is probably pretty different from yours. That's not to say that my opinion on the game shouldn't mean anything to you, but it stands to reason that you might also want to know what "regular" people think of the game too.

That's what I'm hoping this video provides for you; regular people letting you know what they think of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. OK, maybe they aren't all totally "regular". Amongst the ordinary civilians, I happened to bump into Yipes and Sanford Kelly, two of the best Marvel vs. Capcom 2 players on the planet. I didn't get a match in with either of them though, which sort of sucked.

I did get to take on a couple of other TvC pros at the event, but that'll have to wait for another post.

That was not Yipes 3:

Nah, kidding. :p

So, instead we should trust the opinions of people who waited in a huge line to play Tatsunoko vs. Capcom at a Nintendo World launch event? Something tells me these people aren't "regular" people either.

Hahaha, I know the guy who said he'd take Alex to prom.


So giving him shit for that.

From the reasoning given by the guy who wants to take Roll to the prom, it sounds like he wants his mom for a girlfriend.

Man, I never thought I'd see Yipes, let alone him being so calm and cool.

Capcom and Shoen Jump should seriously consider making a game together. It would be awesome for Luffy to fight Dhalism and Ryu against Goku!

Alter, you're right. I (the Ryu cosplayer) was totally scared of Holmes at one point, but it was fun interviewing with him.

Monodi, you have a good eye - it was a Courage Badge! No one I know recognizes it...

In any case, hope the game's a commercial success!

@ Chrome- I'm sort of black in the summer. It's a seasonal sort of race that I've got.

@ Richard Tan- Sorry I scared you! And PM me your TvC code!
