Sammy v. CAPCOM (.. WTF!?) ..

Oh my, what news do we have on our plate today? Sammy v. CAPCOM is the buzz phrase these days. Since it's apparently been "officially" announced. This garners up a single phrase from the bottomless pit of my mind .. What. The. Fuck?

Okay, lets look at the good of this first. CAPCOM sprites on the Arc boards. That means high-res sprites, and possibly, exceptional detail. Hmm .. That's about it. I can't really think of any other good stuff that would come out of this combination. So onto the bad!

Sheesh, where should I start? First, Sammy has one fighting game series under their belt, and that's Guilty Gear. So this game will probably end up being "Guilty Gear v. ???" Now, I leave the question marks, because who the fuck is CAPCOM going to use? Honestly? They have barely any characters that actually fit well with the weapon abusing GG characters.

I, honestly, don't know what will come of this game, if it even becomes a reality. All I can hope for is that the Darkstalkers characters maybe get some time to shine. Maybe we could see Talbain in action one more time! I do know that Arc Systems will be producing a KoF game with SNK/Playmore on their boards. So we'll get to see a high-res King of Fighters game. It won't be KoF2003, since that's already been announced on the MVS board, and for Neo-Geo. So we'll have to wait and see how it turns out.

Personally, I think this game will be alright if CAPCOM or Sammy can pull out some characters that go together. Hopefully they won't make it a MUGEN-Mash like the CvS and SvC games. Only time will tell suppose.

Hoping for Talbain in high-res,
D'
