What the fuck is a 'tatsunoko'?

Who asked for this? The capcom picks are pretty good but why did they have to cross over with literal whos.

Tatsunoko is a genre of japanese fantastical heros, usually transformation heros like Kamen rider and Super Sentai (power rangers if you're american and fat). Its basically japanese marvel.

>has literal whos
>gameplay is miles ahead of MvC3
How unfortunate.

Fuck off, it's based.

One, who cares if you don't know? It was the better Vs. game at the time. Two, enough people for it to sell better than expected in the west asked for it.

>Literal who's
Please tell me you're a zoomer.

It is weird we got this before Nintendo vs Capcom, Sega vs Capcom, Square-Enix vs Capcom, Capcom vs Capcom.

Not if Capcom employs Tatsunoko fans, which it probably does.

>literal whos
normal fags get out. personally I really liked Crowds, but mainly for the immense Hajime autism and music

*Eighting. They were the primary developers.

Who's gonna be your main in TvC2? For me it's Laala-chan

The game was created for a Japanese audience and ported to the US.

Crazy how other countries have their own pop culture, right?

Made for a fucking based game even though I didn't know most of the characters as a kid. We've had MVC for ages and Japanese people don't know the majority of Marvel characters so why are you complaining, faggot?

No user, Tokusatsu is the genre.
Tatsunoko is a production company who made a large number of series and heroes.

The Samurai Pizza Cats, of course.

Imagine someone on Japanese imageboard in 2000s after MvC2 was out
>Why is Capcom keep making VS game with this "maruveru" company, nobody knows this Spiderman or Wolverine! They should do crossover with based Tatsunoko

Megaman and Megaman X was totally ripped off Casshern Robot Hunter

It's kinda funny to see their direct inspiration get crossover like this

Not sure how popular marvel was in japan back then but surely everybody knows them now because of all the movies. I'm sure there are lots of japanese normalfags who think avengers is so much cooler than kamen rider, faggots all of them t.b.h.
Also let's not forget toei themselves worked with marvel way back in the 70s and produced some shows for them, including SPAIDAMAN

This game was made in 2008 before the MCU autism. Marvel is also filthy gaijin trash, which nips would never touch.

You don't know shit friend, normalfags in japan are the same as normalfags anywhere else, i.e. they eat MCU, they eat star wars, they eat harry potter, anything that's popular the world over is not gonna be any different there

Can't people discover new things?
Why does things always need to be familiar? ! You might be the reason why we're only getting the same not-Tolkien fantasy games, the same not-Cod shooters,etc...

Discovering things is over, these days most people are told what to watch/read/play by AIs, and it's only gonna get worse.

With all the remake garbage we're having currently it'll be even harder not only to discover new things, but even making new things.

Apparently most of Tatsunoko's shows aired in latin america and local guatemalan TV. I played TvC with my dad years ago on a homebrewed Wii and he recognized most of the characters, mostly Ken the Eagle and co.

Learn to read, retard. It might help you in the future, assuming you have one.

we've hit a point where technology/graphical capabilities are pretty good, so instead of finding something new people try to imagine things as vibrantly as their nostalgia portrays it.

Zoomer doesn't know vintage anime kino, noone is surprised.

Game probably would have done better if they got speed racer and the samurai pizza cats in like they planned, but unfortunately that didn't happen.

Ironically, the most obscure character on the roster is on the Capcom side, Saki from Quiz Nanairo Dreams

I'm echoing his statement you twat. And be honest with yourself, the average fighting game fan doesn't know who those characters are.

They're literally the caped crusaders of nippon you philistine. They had plenty of their shows localized for Western audiences way back in the day too. Besides, this game is old enough that people would've looked into those properties by now and plenty of them have had reboots, remakes and sequels to follow.
