Quantcast



I understand that you might be sick of hearing about Tatsunoko vs. Capcom by now, and for that, I'm sorry. Then again, you can just ignore this video if you're that upset about all this event coverage, right? I shouldn't feel so guilty.

Anyway, here's a video, expertly shot and directed by Andrew McCarthy, where a lot of people play Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, including a bunch of little kids and guys with mustaches. You'll also see me fight Tatsunoko Vs Capcom pro Keits and everybody's favorite Capcom employee, Seth Killian. You wont see it here, but before my match with Seth, we agreed that who ever lost had to spend the rest of the event wearing a Phoenix Wright cosplay-stume that I worked on the week before.

I think you can guess how the video ends.

Jonathan - It's actually 'Keits.' Did you play a guy who goes by the handle Kurasa up there?

would rather see TvC coverage than ME2 honestly.

i'm more surprised you haven't busted out NMH2 stuff yet considering how much you've been following that up until today.

and yea...as pacman said, it's Keits.

1. I, too, have rocked a million faces.

2. Does Seth actually play like that, or is he trying to handicap himself to make it a fair fight?

3. Will he let me borrow that cardigan?

Seth always plays like that against the journalists. You'd think it's a handicap, but I've seen him do it so many times by now...

Cardigan love ftw. Also, the game looks like a hoot.

Seth plays like some Latinos play. Dunno why but i've seen people play like that seriously.

I remember seeing a MvC2 cab like that on a school field trip stop we made. Really weird seeing it.

@Joseph Leray: Seth has always played cross handed.

I was wondering about the cross handed style too.. weird.

A ha ha! Objection! Too bad Mr. Wright didn't make the final cut! Speaking of "final cut", nice video, Holmes. There is always something special about your videos, man. Now with added Bon Jovi! =)
Also, I've witnessed cross handed playing since the glory days of SF II and MK, so it's nothing new to me. Yet, it will forvever freak me out. Kooky.
Did you ask Seth about anything Mega Man 10 related? Secrets?!

The cross handed looks odd, but I think I could see myself using that technique if I ever used one of those joystick controls.

I personally would use it like that because as a righty, I would feel like I have more control over the joystick movements with my right hand, rather than my left. I could hit the buttons easy enough with either hand, but the joystick seems to require more precise movements lending itself to whichever of your hands has more dexterity.

Man, that looks like it was a lot of fun.

I'm usually not into fighters too much (except Smash Bros and Street Fighter) but damn, the more I see of the this game, the more I want to try it out.

So if you kill the pro, you will become just like them?

I need to work it up.

@callmeAlex

This is like Smash Bros. meets Street Fighter except Mario and Pikachu are nowhere to be seen and frankly I'm ok with that (but seriously Nintendo Vs CAPCOM needs to happen I mean what's stopping them! Everyone knows CAPCOM Japan loves Nintendo anyway!).

So how's the tourny scene with this game? I know Japan was crazy for MvC2, so has any of that craziness carried over?

Basically I want to know if Justin Wong is going to be able to make a living wage off of beating people in this game or if he will still have to supplement his earnings by kicking ass in SF4.

Shocked at all the 'cross-handed?!?' comments. You heathens, that is how the Gods play!

But seriously, I've seen a few peeps play this way over the last quarter-century. To each his own!

I always thought Seth just played cross-handed against civilians. Kind of an Inigo Montoya/Brave Pirate Roberts thing. Is it actually advantageous?

@GoldenGameXero

A fighting game thats like a mix between the only other 2 fighting games I like? I AM going to have to check this out!

Also, Nintendo vs. CAPCOM? You have just had the best idea EVAR. I don't really know what else they can do with Smash Bros, so it would actually seem like a logical step.

Hey it's that jerk from Road Rules. You're hardly pringles. But the joke of having Dead or Alive play over a Street Fighter game isn't lost on me.

I like how you say you're an amateur, but you're posting on a high profile video game blog about fighting games. Way to be an amateur.

I watched the S. Kill interview before I got over here and watched this, and that was about an hour apart.

I must say a few things:

1) I LOVE THE COVERAGE, HOLMES. YOU ARE THE MAN!

2) This video seemed almost surreal because I am hitting my exhaustion point of the day (and am losing patience for the UPS guy to show up with my copy of ME2) and the last few moments of this vid were like... crazy-awesome in my tired state of mind.

"AHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH! ^_^

Now that just cracks me up. No WAY will Capcom EVER make the mistake of making another VS title SOLELY on the Wii"

You are clearly an underage user. It's clear not just by your trolling, but also by the fact that you clearly forgot about the original marvel vs capcom being on dreamcast and skipping xbox, ps2, gamecube.

News Flash, capcom is not a trolling fanboy unlike you. They don't care whether it's ps3, wii or 360. GROW UP.

@ Dinnertime- I spoke to two MvC2 pros at the event, and they both said they plan on moving on to TvC. One of them was Sanford Kelly, the best MvC2 in the world. That's about as serious as endorsements get.
