Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars Review
First of all, this game is a capcom release in their "vs" series, obviously much more like Marevel vs Capcom 2 than Capcom vs Snk 2. Features many familiar facets of gameplay to MvC2, such as air combos, and team supers, etc. The gameplay itself is quite different and if I can say, unique. I was expecting a MvC2 clone with a lot less characters, however the experience is as mentioned unique. Each character has ONE assist, and there are two characters to use in battle; more like XvSF, MSHvSF, and MvC. A technique called "Baroque" allows for some lengthy extensions to your normal combos, which gets intense near the end of a match. The button layout (Light, medium, strong attack, and parter) is WIERD at first to say the least. If you're like me, and played the absolute hell out of MvC2, it will take some practice and adjusting to what should feel like a familiar concept on paper.
The list of characters, unless youre big into anime popular in Japan, is somewhat foreign feeling...which is good!! Note, that the American release added a few different characters from the Japanese release. New characters, new moves; it can only be a good thing. That being said, the Tatsunoko characters are pretty awesome. I don't wanna catch crap for this, but I prefer just about all of them over the capcom characters with Ryu and Chun Li being the exception. A good way of desribing the characters is aptly calling them japanese super heroes, which are far different than Marvel super heroes for what it's worth. I always enjoy Capcom introducing new characters from previous titles, in particular Zero. He's honestly not one my favorites to use, but it's about time Capcom added him to the mix of fighters.
To end this review, I'm gonna suggest picking this one up. It's an arcade game style blast, as capcom fighters are. Not only is it fun, but it can be every bit as complex/deep and frantic as MvC2. If you haven't played the other super jumping tag series', then immediatley get this. If you have, it's still a very worthy game to own until Marvel vs Capcom 3 comes out next summer..which is a little way away.
