This... makes me so so so terribly sad. I mean, growing up, I don't think I loved any cartoon more than Samurai Pizza Cats, and yes, Chronic Logic hit it on the head, the dub of SPC (which threw out the Japanese scripts in lieu of a Shin Chan style transliteration) and is still funny as all hell.
Here is hoping they get SPC, Speed Racer AND Phoenix in TvC2!

Wait, so the Samurai Pizza Cats was actually considered and then failed to happen? *cries*
If they would have been in I would have been so much more excited for this game. Of course to be more excited than I already am would probably have caused a black hole and ended the universe, so it was probably a good thing they didn't make it.

Whyyyyyy?
A next gen fighting game with Samurai Pizza Cats would have made this game an instant buy for me, no question whatsoever. That would have been ridiculously awesome.

If they had gotten Speed and the SPC in the game, it would have sold a lot better. I wouldn't have enjoyed it all that much more, but I know a lot of people who would.
I doubt it would have swayed me to purchase (it's on the freakin' wii) but SPC could have at least bumped the game onto my birthday list.
"'They thought about Speed Racer but he’s just a race car driver. It would be hard to incorporate his race car into the game,' Niitsuma continued."
That didn't stop Captain Falcon from being in Smash Bros.!!
Speed PAUNCH!

Really? They couldn't figure out a way to get a racecar into the game?

Cowboy Bebop's dub was better than the sub imo. Also, Samurai Pizza Cats were the shit.

Why is this news? Forgive me if im wrong on this one (which i know im not) but in some of the early release screen shots they showed Speed Racer so whats with all the surprise? Granted they may have been mock ups or production concept art but we already knew this.
Here he comes, here comes Speed Racer, he's a demon on wheels *tenenenenenenenenen* he's a demon and he's gonna be chasin' after someone!
WHAT? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU--------------------- GODDAMIT. FUCK. I WANT FUCKING SPEEDY CERVICHI. HE'S THE LEADER OF THE MOTHERFUCKING BUNCH.
Y'know, if I recall correctly Captain Falcon was nothing more than a pilot before he was added in Super Smash Bros. Now he's most well known for his FALCON PUNCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Why couldn't they do that with Speed Racer? And with Phoenix Wright... FUCK. They could have totally evened out the whole Objection space. Goddamnit. Phoenix Wright would have definitely sealed the deal on this game for me.
samurai pizza cats...
so that was its name? i remember watchin this as a kid, never knew the name tough, until now

Speed Racer coulda worked just fine if they treated him like Jin Saotome's iterations in Marvel Vs. Capcom. Just replace things like the "Blodia Punch" special move with like, "Mach 5 dash" or something. Plus that would have meant we could throw Jin in. And Jin's like, my favorite character to spring up out of obscurity during these Vs. games.
@Chronic Logic-
I beg to differ...Samurai Pizza Cats had an AWESOME dub, but I gotta say Black Lagoon's had the best I've ever heard. It was just so ridiculously fitting all around.

Speed Racer fought dudes several times in the series. If you couldn't work him in, Pops Racer was an ex-wrestler, for crying out loud. Spridle & Chim Chim as an assist special, as well as one with Trixie hauling off a dude with her helicopter. DONE.
@q-pa: I do believe they said that they specifically were avoiding pulling a Captain Falcon with the characters.
I think the problem with Speed Racer is coming up with Special Moves. His fighting style is fairly easy to pull off, and his Hyper Combos shouldn't be too difficult either (I'd like to imagine his Lvl. 3 would be the Mach 5 crashing into both him and his opponent and launches them into the air and into the car, both fighing/fumbling in the Mach 5 while it's heading toward the edge of a cliff. Then, Racer X would show up in his car and pull Speed out of the Mach 5 while it goes over the edge and explodes. Granted it's farfetched, but seeing as how hyper combos change the screen into a rocky and mountain-like terrain, it could work in theory.), but it'd be difficult coming up with Special Moves for Speed Racer that keep him in character.
