The problem with Sammy is that they never reveal anything until a game is very close to coming out unlike Capcom and SNK do.
The announcement for the game was a year ago. Average time for a game like that with that many new sprites takes 2 years. That’s how long it took to do SVC Chaos and CVS 1. We’ll just have to wait and see.
The only info I’ve come across (all info for this game is a bit shakey. Unlike Capcom that has leaks everywhere Sammy is good at keeping secrets) is that a Sammy employee told me at the NY Digital Life Show that “A joint project has been put on hold because Sammy wanted the merger with Sega to go smoothly.” He wouldn’t tell me what the game was or if it was Sammy vs. Capcom.
And this is from Orochimaru who sounds pretty legit and seems to know something about the game. (He may be BSing, but I get the feeling he’s not) It will not include characters like Dante, Megaman, Samanosuke or anything like that. It will only have characters from 2D and 3D Fighters. So far we know that it will have characters from Guilty Gear, Rumblefish, Kenju(Because according to Orochimaru people wanted to see these characters from Sammy’s New Cel Shaded Game in 2D), Street Fighter, Darkstalkers, and Rival Schools. Star Gladiator and Warzard has been tossed around too, but SF, RS, and DS I’ve heard more than once.
At the show that announced the game, DS was already announced. And Guilty Gear’s a no brainer. So these two games will prolly be the headliners like SF and KOF are the headliners for all the Capcom/SNK Games.
Still no official word, and no cancellation announced either.
I had heard that they were going to use the Guilty Gear X fighting engine for it. (this was on a GGX board, so I dunno how true it is)
What I’m really wondering, is if they’re going to update the freakin’ sprites or not because let’s face it, the DS characters are gonna look like crap compared to the GGX ones.
Doubtful, considering they didn’t update much with CvSNK2.
Keeping it semi on topic for these boards: Since DS/SF/RS might be headlining, maybe they can get Udon to do some artwork again? If not endings, maybe the Vs screen or character select screen portraits.
It’d be real interesting to see an Arnold Sol-Badguy or Dizzy.
Actually, Darkstlakers getting new Sprites is one of the only things we know is going to happen for certain. During the Press conference that announced the Game, Fuanmizu said something like “A lot of people would like to see the Vampire(Darkstalker) Characters in High Res.” So unless this means filtering the old sprites in High Res which I doubt because the game would of came out a hell of a lot quicker if they did this chances are they are getting new sprites. Hence the long wait.
Udon artwork would be great in Sammy vs. Capcom, I agree with that.
Some guy who wrote Guilty Gear Storyline Thread (I posted the Link over on the Play Magazine Ken Siu-Chong Interview Thread) mentions that the GG Storyline Guide excludes Guilty Gear Isuka and Sammy vs. Capcom, talking about Sam/Cap as if it is already out or coming soon so he won’t have to retcon anything he says. Just being cautious or does he know something? Hmmm. The secrecy surrounding this game tighter than the Sopranos Series Finale Episode Storyline.
The statement I listed was made sometime before Sammy Vs Capcom was ever made, like 2001 or something like that.
It was stated the game would run/be made on the Atomiswave, so its doubtful there will be any recycling, and unlike Capcom Vs SNK games this game is being made by both Sammy and Capcom employees.
The only thing that concerns me is Im pretty sure the Atomiswave tech will be really outdated by the time this game comes out, and the only 2D game out there that uses the Atomiswave (I believe) is Rumble Fish made by Dimps (developers of the DBZ Budokai series) which dosnt really look “that” impressive.
Well, Guilty Gear Isuka has been repeatedly stated to be it’s own game, and Capcom has always stated that none of the versus games are canon, so it makes sense to automatically exclude SvC from the main story.
I’m really hoping they let Daisuke Ishiwatari (the man who does all the artwork/music/story for GG)do the soundtrack. I’m almost positive he had a heavy hand in the sprites too, based off the GG Drafting Artbook.
Maybe they’ll create a new character just for this game like they did with A.B.A. and Leo in Isuka.
Hell, they might be redoing all the Capcom character sprites. Makes sense, seeing as how no word in over a year and they’re including Rival Schools, which is a 3D game, if I’m not mistaken.
Knowing that they’re creating new sprites means they’re more than likely going to use the GGX fighting system on the game too. (Dusts, Roman Cancels etc etc) Which is great, because I really can’t see the GGX characters playing without it. Being a team game means no instant kills, but oh well.
Hopefully it won’t be like Isuka and have everyone fighting at once, because that gets confusing, and the turn around button took a lot of getting used to.
Now the question becomes: Who’s going to be in the game?
It’s a pretty safe bet they’ll have Sol and Ky in the game.
Definately Morrigan and Demitri, probably Felicia too.
You can forget about Sam/Cap being like GG Isuka. Not gonna happen. Isuka is not popular in Japan, they are still playing GG XX # Reload and that’s the game that’s making tourneys and not Isuka over there.
I wasn’t too worried about it, I figure it’ll be more like CvSNK or MvC. I’m sure they’ll add something to it to make it different somehow.
Isuka’s a good game and all, but it’s not exactly fit for tourney play.
Plus, #Reload is very balanced and there really isn’t a huge gap in tiers.
I’m also chomping at the bit for GGX3. I have a feeling they’re going to do a complete overhaul of the sprites and roster. Hopefully adding in A.B.A., as I found her style of play much more suited for 1v1 than a team setting. Probably dropping Millia, Jam, and a couple others, based on their storylines.
But yeah, SvC + Udon art would be pretty b!tchin’ and a good way to help push the comics.
i dont even flame people on here (the net) its just sad and nerdy chatin shit to sumone you dont know or will neva meet say what u want dude i dont really give a shit.
Its being made on the Atomiswave, and since neither they GG games or none of Capcom’s game’s run on the Atomiswave its safe to assume the sprites will be redrawn.
Yea TAS i wasnt sure what GG was runnin on isnt GG1 on atomiswave?
Its some sort of upgrade version? im not sure cos i havent actually seen it runing so i dont know if they changed anything for it for atomiswave.
But i guess that must be the case of them redoing it then wow better sprites than GGr that would be cool.
Apathy-inc im sorry i insulted you and your ideas that was not my intention dont worry im not gay or anything im just sayin sorry i dont like beef.
i would like to see this game myself. id rather sammy never told us nothing, if they were going to take so dam long making it.

wasnt the 1st game posed to be lame?neva played but thats all i hear about it.
if only their was a site for sammy vs capcom like that, do you think they will use sega characters? since they merged now.
I dont know but if its a team game like kof i would luv to see a streets of rage team axel/blaze/adam hell through that badass ninja in their too cant remember his name shiva i think.
