Yeah we all know who's in Tatsunoko vs Capcom (awesome cast btw) now but there are some people that I wish that were on the roster.

here's the characters that I wanted to see in Tatsunoko vs Capcom but didn't make a the cut.

Capcom

1. Phoenix Wright (Ace Attorney)

2. Arthur (Ghost and Goblins)

Tatsunoko

1. Speed Racer (Speed Racer)

2. Asuka Lanley (Neon Genesis Evangelion)

Yes that's right. Neon Genesis Evangelion is Tatsunoko. I would have loved to see any of the the Evas in the game but I'm just wishful thinking now.

So who did you want to see that didn't make the game?

Cammy, she was always in the VS games and also a great character in them. I also wouldn't have mind seeing Captain Commando as well.

1. Phoenix Wright (Ace Attorney)

1. Speed Racer (Speed Racer)LegatoSkyheart

Those are the two I think would have made excellent opposites in the game.. well, even if no Speed Racer, at least Phoenix Wright, I would have really loved to have seen him in the game. Yet I still have to buy it, just not able to afford it right now.

Tatsunoko is credited in co-producing in Evangelion, but the series and the rights of characters and others properties is still owned sorely by GAINAX, therefore no eva can appear in this game. and Mari's better

Straight from the games producer heres why a few characters that were considered didnt make it or why we have the ones we do

- The Samurai Pizza Cats were heavily considered, but the deal with Tatsunoko didn't go through at the end.

- Resident Evil "Monsters" were going to be playable characters, but the sharp visuals made the creatures look too grotesque. In Japan anyways, the rating would have gone up, so they had to remove them.

- Alex was chosen as the Street Fighter III representative because he is seen as the lead character of the game, and because he was a well-balanced close-ranger fighter.

- Powerstone characters were good candidates, but the developers said the character's from the series had too similar of move sets to the ones that were already in.

- Dante from Devil May Cry was also strongly considered, but didn't make the cut. If a sequel releases then he's pretty much a lock in for the game.

- Phoenix Wright characters didn't make it because their move sets would have taken too much time to come up with. Phoenix Wright reached concept art stages, but didn't make the cut.

- Inafune personally chose the Mega Man X version of Zero to be in the game.

- Speed Racer wasn't included because he wouldn't of been interesting as a fighter outside of the Mach 5. They also didn't want to go the Captain Falcon route by adding in moves the character wasn't originally known to use.

- The original Mega Man wasn't included because his moves seemed less varied than the Legends version, who has many more fighting techniques.

Any characters that didnt make it have a really good chance of being in the next capcom vs game so im happy with what we have now

also heres a document that has images of what they had planned for phoenix and a few other characters

Tatsunoko only co-produced Neon Genesis Evangelion. Phoenix Wright was already considered, but they had trouble giving him fighting moves.

The only character I would have liked to see make the roster was SoulTaker, which is a more recent Tatsunoko anime that's one of their more mature anime.

I would have MUCH rather had the original Megaman in the game. His move set is pretty much limitless with all the boss powers he's gotten over the years, so it's hard to believe that volnutt would have more techniques. Especially after actually using Volnutt. I think Leon could have been interesting, and they already used Jill in Marvel vs. Capcom 2, so why not? Anyways,as awesome asPhoenix is I think he'd have a pretty hard time beating Ryu. o.O;

I still don't get why they wouldn't use Speed (or Go) as he's easily the most recognizable Tatsunoko anime. Capcom has no problem with giving Roll a moveset. The Genie that didn't make the cut over here wasn't much of a fighter in his anime either. I don't see why Speed couldn't have used a simple kind of martial arts and used his car for special summons. Or even if they just used Racer X. I still think they have a great cast of characters with varied playstyles, but I can't help but feel sad at not seeing one of my favorite childhood memories being involved.

Also, the game needed a "History of" section. I would have loved more of a background on each of the characters, and it could have easily been a paragraph of text for each character, in no way would that have been a big task for a dev team. I mean I still found my way around everyone's history, but I would have loved if the devs had put forth that little extra effort to sell these characters.

i thought they actually developed phoenix wright for TvC but cut him because he only had one special move and it was too broken. i thought i saw it on a 1up article sometime ago but i could be wrong though. anyways my copy of TvC is coming this week and im stoked xD.

Why do people keep thinking that Speed Racer never fought outside ofthe Mach 5? Speed threw down alot outside the Mach 5. Especially against random henchmen. He could've had a great move list and should've been in the game simply out of howbigof a followinghe has. The Samurai Pizza Cats should've made the cut for that same reason but I guess when Tatsunokosays no, they mean no. I would've mained Speedy Cerviche and Roll. It's also funny how the two most wanted Tatsunoko charactersboth have the name Speed.

Cammy would be my other Main Character. I'd probablySecond her and Speed Racer. I've heard that DLC is a possibility and if so, who knows, maybe we will see some of these characters. *Hoping for Samurai Pizza Cats the most*

Dante and Karas would be great counters. They'd make an awesome team as well.

I'm hoping that M. Bison and the Braiking Boss (From Casshan Robot Hunter) make it eventually. They'd definitely be a gruesome team.

I don't know much about Tatsunoko so I can't really say who I'd like to see.

But from Capcom I'd like to see,

Leon S. Kennedy from Resident Evil 4
Sexy Silvia from Viewtiful Joe
Felicia from Darkstalkers
Arthur from Ghosts n' Goblins

I really wish Mega Man X was playable instead of Mega Man Volnutt also. I don't mind using him, he's actually the first character I beat Yami with. I've never played Mega Man Legends before so I don't know much about Mega Man Volnutt, but Mega Man Volnutt just looks weird to me. I think Mega Man looks better without hair. I just prefer Mega Man X over Mega Man Volnutt, and even over the original Mega Man. I think he'd be a much better fit since Zero is playable. It'd be awesome to use Mega Man X and Zero on the same team. At least they show Mega Man X in Zero's Ending, I guess that's better then not having him in the game at all but.

Someone from Killer 7 would be cool. And Silvia from Viewtiful Joe, so that you could have a totally viewtiful team. Other than that, some more SF characters perhaps. Blanka, preferably.

While I felt the same initially, adding the whole team would be a bit much. As cool as it would be to have Jinpei and Ryu to round out the team, it would throw off the 3 character max from a series (IE 3 characters from MM franchise, 3 from SF franchise). Besides, there is already one Ryu in the game. I guess its also a reason why Ken didn't make the cut, other than being a Ryu clone.

Speed can fight! Have they not seen the movie? I would have been nigh unstoppable with a Ken the Eagle/Speed combination.

Yeah but this cast is already tiny compared to other Capcom VS titles. If Marvel VS Capcom had 5 Avengers there's no problems of making all 5 for Gatchaman and then adding more characters.

There's so much that should have been here that a lot of the omissions are just odd

Thank You. FINALLY somebody that realizes that Speed Racer CAN and Does fight outside the Mach 5. They don't even need to see the movie to know that. Just watch some of the old cartoons. Speed throws down with Bosses and Goons quite a bit. Anyway, I also would've liked to See Hinata from Rival Schools make the game. I mean, I like the roster now but DLC as far as characters is always welcome.

Okay... how about SNK vs. Capcom then? :? But more importantly, why are you still here debating this with me? This thread is about characters you'd LIKE to see in the game; there's no right or wrong answer. This is an entirely pointless argument.

From the Capcom side of things you could have thrown in Mike Haggar from Final Fight. That would have been awesome.

Well from the Capcom side of things, they have to save characters for TvC: 3rd Strike lol. Especially when it comes to the Tatsunoko roster, thier not going to jump through legal hoops and pay massive license fees for a game that may not be successful because people don't know the characters. If this game proves succeful worldwide and seems worthwhile of some obvious Capcom milkage, we will see thet MvC2 like, impossible to balance roster, with some of those seemingly forgotten or out of reach Tatsunoko characters as well. They will be worth the investment then.
