Capcom Launches Teaser Website for New 2D Fighter
July 02, 2007
by: Daniel Matos
Super Street Fighter III Alpha Turbo 10th Strike announcement imminent.
Capcom has launched a fairly barebones teaser site for a previously unannounced new 2D fighting game, the "first original Capcom fighting game in 3 years" according to the site.
Whether "original" means an entirely new property or simply not a port of a previous game to a new platform isn't exactly made clear, nor is precisely when we can expect the game to be unveiled. "Coming Soon" is all the website says.
To view the (mostly Japanese) website for yourself, click here (http://www.capcom.co.jp/2d_kakutou/).
Not much info yet...but as a 2D fighter fan I'm excitied to see what it will be.

The sprites will be high res... I mean, how could they not given SFII HD?
Anyway, I'm excited, though I wonder if Capcom still has any staff that can do a good job on a fighter.

Please god, make Capcom make the sprites high res.
And no matter what the game type is, have Morrigan in it, even as an unlockable. Poor Morrigan, she hasnt gotten a sprite update in... ever.

As Chac said, hopefully Capcom can still bust out a good fighter.

If they're going through the trouble to make a brand new game I don't see why they wouldn't be hi-res. Unless the definition of new if to slap some old sprites into a game, add 4-5 new characters, and insert "vs" in the title somewhere. What was the last 2D fighter Capcom released, was it Capcom Fighting De-Evolution?

Maybe it's what EGM has been rumored, that it's Street Fighter 4.

07-02-2007, 03:58 PM
I hope it's either SF4 with new (and old) characters or something completely new altogether.

Looks like we'll see it at E3.
Is this a remake of some old, obscure Japan-only game? Kakutou sounds familiar, although I don't remember actually playing a game with that name.
Too many unanswered questions for me to get too excited just yet (what platform is a big one)...
Edit: Well, I guess I shouldn't assume "Battle" is in the title--it's all obscure enough where it could very well be SFIV. I thought I read a rumor in a not so recent issue of EGM that Capcom was working on it anyway...

it's just another rehash of Street Fighter II, just a few new additions and a title change to "Street Fighter II: The Original"

Now that I think about it, the team who made 3rd strike disbanded with the director saying he would never make another SF game again, right? If that's the case, I'm not sure I'd want a Street Fighter IV.

Three years? I sure as hell hope they aren't counting the piece of shit known as Fighting Jam. Hell, they haven't developed any original characters since Marvel vs Capcom 2 or Street Fighter 3 (whichever one came out later).
Halo05
07-02-2007, 06:45 PM
I think it was MvC2. Seems like I had SF3 3rd Strike on my DC before I was playing MvC2 in the arcade/on my DC.
I can't wait to see what it is.
Rodimus
07-02-2007, 06:50 PM
The last 2D fighter was Capcom Fighting Evolution (or Capcom Fighting Jam in Japan.) Which was released in 2004. Not hard to follow up that P.O.S.
Marvel vs Capcom 2 came out way back in 2000.

Ugh, Evolution was absolutely terrible. SFIV would be nice, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
CouRageouS
07-02-2007, 10:32 PM
They need to use the MvC engine, high res graphics, and finally make a Capcom All Star Fighter that "Evolution" should/could have been. They have so many franchise characters now, they don't really need to VS anyone.

Street Fighter 4 in HD with similar gameplay to 3rd Strike with a blend of characters from 1 (Gen, Birdie, Geki, Adon, Sagat), 2 (Blanka, Bison, Vega, Balrog, Guile), 3 (Q, Yun, Urien, Hugo) and maybe some of the better characters from the Alpha series (Rose, Sakura) as well as the staples (Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Chun-Li) and 3-6 new characters would make this the greatest game EVAR
it's not asking to much ;)

sorry to let everyone down, but after some very short thinking, this isn't SFIV. Due to Capcom US holding the rights, there's no way Japan Capcom can make a SFIV unless there's something we don't know.

I would love to see a new VS title. Have it be Capcom vs. Namco so we can have 2-D fighter versions of characters from Tekken and Soul Calibur. But that is real wishful thinking.

I don't really know how much US Capcom having SF's rights affects the possibility of a 2D SFIV but I'm honestly hoping for something truly original. I would love a new Darkstalkers but Vampire Chronicles made the series feel finished. Capcom Fighting Jam made me feel like punching babies in the throat so I don't think I want a cross over game anytime soon.

Whatever it is, I hope there's airblocking. That alone is possibly my biggest gripe with SF3. After playing Alpha 1 and 2 like mad, I couldn't get into SF3 because of the lack of airblocking.

I just never liked the series or any of the characters, just my personal taste. If a new one is ever made then all the silliness has to go. I will say I did like how SNK/Playmore did Demetri, he looked very badass.

I really hope it is just Street Fighter 4, because pretty much every fighter out there now is a hyper-fast combo fest. Which isn't a problem, but a slower paced fighter like Street Fighter would give us a bit more variety.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. The hyperkinetic lightshows are all well and good, but a more technical game is about due, I think.

I can honestly say that I hope it doesn't have air-blocking. I much prefer the strategy involved behind the lack of airblocking. Mix in air-parrying to cop yourself out in case you make a strategic mistake, and you have instant win.
Whatever it is I hope it's NOT Darkstalkers. I would be disapointed.
So would I. I mean, it'd be better than nothing, but, like you, I was never crazy about Darkstalkers. I mean I like Night Warriors, but I could never really get into part 3 or Chronicle. I never really took them seriously for whatever reason.

Yeah I'd much prefer a nice, slower-paced, tactical fighter that still has awesome combo possibilities like Street Fighter 3. Basically I just want a sequel to 3s 8-)

I also hope there is NO air-blocking. CVS2 taught me long ago that jumping too much (depending on the fighting game) gets you killed.
Nice point Chac. I didn't realize how combo/juggle/cancel heavy a lot of the fighters are nowadays. It definitely would be nice to have something that has that sort of speed but still strategic like 3S.

Ditto on the no-airblocking bit. I mean, I like my air blocking fine in games like Guilty Gear, but I also like games that let you punish people with nothing but jump-in kicks.

for some reason I think people are missing the point that this will 75% most likely just be entirely original. capcom emphasized the original aspect of it so I doubt they would rehash. I think they finally realize they need to work on new franchises in their classic genres and not just next gen stuff.
Halo05
07-03-2007, 06:24 PM
Air blocking doesn't make a game more or less deep, it simply changes the play. Street Fighter III (all it's incarnations) have a total of about 5 characters that appeal to me, therefor I suck at it. Give me the Alpha series anyday.

Honestly if it's not SF4 I'd prefer this idea of creating a totally orginal 2D fighter, and I'm not talking about anything based on an Anime. Even though Hokuto no Ken & JoJo's are great.

if I had 5 characters appeal to me in any fighting game (non team-based) I'd be unfucwittable.
I only play 2 characters in 3S (I gave one up) and 3s is all I ever play.
so if you truly like 5 doods jus pick 2 from that group and bring your shit to the table.

You make a great point. Just-Defend is extremely handy.
I'm an N-Groove whore, so I don't have that option. I have to admit with N-Groove, short jump is downright magical.
What if it's finally Capcom vs Guilty Gear?
if it ended up being Sammy Vs. Capcom I would happily jump out the nearest window. in sheer happiness of course.
DC vs Marvel also please! :)

The 5 characters in SF3:3S that appeal to me are... Ken, Ryu, Akuma, Alex and... okay wait, there's only 4.
Now let's compare that to say, SFA3 Upper... Evil Ryu, Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Blanka, Karin, Zangief, Sodom, Charlie, Guile, Vega, Dan and... That's about it.
Even the first Street Fighter Alpha has more people I enjoy playing as then SF3:3S. You guys can keep it.
That being said, bring on Street Fighter vs. Guilty Gear. It'll be like the insane Marvel vs. games.

Yeah, "2D Verses Battle" just means it's a 2D fighting game. It doesn't necessarily mean it's gonna be a "Vs." game like Marvel vs Capcom.
