Tatsunoko vs. Capcom

What if they made a Hanna Barbara vs. Capcom? It could possibly work since Tatsunoko is like the Japanese Hanna Barbara. Someone in another forum made a list similar to this and liked it but I changed it a little bit to what I think would also be good. These are like parallels to the Tatsunoko characters (well some of them are):

Eagle Ken/Birdman
Casshern/Blue Falcon (w/ Dynomutt striker)
Tekkaman/Space Ghost
Yatterman/Dexter
Hurricane Polymer/Hong Kong Phooey
Gold Lightan/Igoo (Herculoids)
Doronjo/Scooby-Doo (w/ Shaggy)
Swan Jun/Blossom (PPGZ style if allowed, otherwise classic if not)
Karas/Galtar
Hakushon Daimaou/Yogi Bear (I couldn't think up a better one)
Ippatsuman/Captain Planet

Would be sorta neat.

I doubt any of those characters will ever be in 2D fighting game, unless it's a game similar to SSB.

Also, I find it hard to believe for Scooby Doo to be Doronjo's counterpart.

That's weird hearing you say that.

How come? Are you talking about the comment I made about Scooby Doo and Doronjo?

Actually, I'm talking about your comment about them being in a SSB type game. It's weird because a while ago under here, you said you can imagine Power Stone characters in a game like this (which is something I can't imagine) but you can't imagine the Hanna-Barbara characters in it (which is something I can). I guess our ways of thinking this is quite different.

Powerstone 1 & 2 were 3D fighting games, so it wouldn't be a big deal if the characters from those two games appeared in a 2D fighting game with 3D graphics. Since they're also Capcom games, then it wouldn't be a surprised if they were involved in a crossover game that involved Capcom characters.

I just think the Hanna-Barbera characters are better suited for a SSB-like game.

But in Power Stone, characters can't really do any specials or supers until they pick up the power stones and transform and the gameplay revolves around the players running around. Plus at best, they only got 2 specials (reduced to 1 in Power Stone 2) and 2 supers. I can't really picture that in a 2D game like this.

As for Hanna-Barbara, if Marvel and Tatsunoko worked well, then I don't see why they can't either. But at least so far, we've seen Harvey Birdman meet some Street Fighter characters. 😂

Capcom could just make some original moves for them. That shouldn't be a problem since some of the Capcom characters in vs games had original moves that were only seen in those games.

Well, I guess certain characters from Hanna-Barbera could be in a vs game with Capcom. I still don't think it would work, though...

True. They did this with Jill and Jin, even though it was weird seeing Jill do all those moves.

Well in TvC, we got a character like Hakushon Daimaou in it, the most cartoonish character of them all. THAT'S a character I can picture in a SSB-like game.

Exactly, which means the Powerstone characters could still be included in a 2D fighting game in the future with a couple of never-before-seen attacks. In fact, they might be considered for TvC2...

I'm sure they put him in that game for comic relief. Almost every 2D fighting series have one.

I still think that this is a different situation.

Well, we'll just have to wait until Capcom announces the next "Capcom vs..." game.

On that list I posted, I think I might replace Yogi Bear with Blossom. Now that would be a much better choice and a good counterpart to Viewtiful Joe.

I was just thinking, canonically who would win out of the counterparts:

Ken the Eagle vs. Ryu

Jun the Swan vs. Chun Li

Casshan vs. Morrigan
Casshan vs. PTX-04

Hurricane Polymar vs. Batsu

Tekkaman vs. Alex

Doronjo vs. Morrigan
Doronjo vs. Roll

Yatterman No.1 vs. Megaman Volnutt

Karas vs. Soki

Ippatsuman vs. Saki (see below)

Hakushon Daimao vs. Viewtiful Joe (I know they're not counterparts but I think they're both the "joke" of their sides, if you know what I mean)

Gold Lightan vs. PTX-04

I'm not sure who would canonically win those fights, but I won't get into that discussion since someone might come along and "state their opinions as facts".

Anyway, what new characters would you want in TvC2?

I'd like to see a fighter filled with those types of costumed teen super warriors.. like Power Rangers, VR Troopers, Voltron, etc..

I dont think tatsunoko owns those franchises.. but I think it would be pretty awesome

I don't know about VR Trooper and Voltron, but Power Rangers had a fighting game in the past.

Unfortunately, only the megazords and villains were playable.

When will Capcom ever add Resident Evil characters in one of their fighting games? The title says "cross generation of heroes". Leon Kennedy's a hero. He saved the presidents daughter from an evil cult and is trying to destroy a virus that's threatening humanity. How much more heroism does Leon need to be in these games?

Jill Valentine is from the Resident Evil series, and she was in Marvel vs Capcom 2.

Besides, you can't expect every single series to be represented in the "Capcom vs..." games.

Every series could be represented in fighting games if Capcom wanted to.
