I saw that on 2ch! They’re talking about how some of the animated sequences of the game were leaked somehow and they saw Mifune Go/Speed Racer as an active participant in the storyline. No sign of any other extra CAPCOM-side characters, yet.
Let’s wait and see if there’s any truth to this one!
I got curious since a lot of these characters were new to me, and checked out the new Casshern anime, good stuff! Some of it is old/hard to find, but some of it is readily available if you’re into such things.
I do really want to play the game, but, like SF4, not anytime soon. T_T
GL and the IVAN are both playable characters by default, so that would be silly.
More than likely, it’s probably going to be a Tatsunoko villain that gets the end-boss treatment, like Sosai-X (Gatchaman) or Buraiking Boss (Casshern).
Only other thing I could imagine would be if they decide to maybe introduce an original creation as a boss, but after the forgettable “Abyss” in MvC2, I don’t see that likely either…
The new Yatterman anime is difficult to find with subs.
I’d like to see Speed Racer (Go) in this game. Although a few other characters already have car/automobile summon supers. It’s very predictable for him to summon the mach, haha.
Ok, so after that last vid, I became curious and went and watched the Karas anime, which was just breathtaking (if somewhat confusing and surprisingly gory.)
Lol, Karas is going to be a favourite character of mine now, even if he does end up being broken and/or cheap as all hell.
Karas is awesome. Some of his most insane abilities have obviously been toned down. In the anime, he can slow time to a mere trickle, enough to slice every bullet from a whole squad of machine guns firing at once. He can also transform into a fighter jet or a car, attack with a large bladed cape that compresses into the back of his armour, and do lots of mysterious stuff with glowing runes (I dunno, those parts of the anime were sort of hard to follow). These would make great supers, but so far all 3 of his supers that we’ve seen came from his battle with the Kappa. The sword attack where he slashes in the formation of a symbol, the whizzing sword super and finally his infamous level 3 were all used in a single fight sequence in the very first episode.

I hope he has at least one more super where he either slows time or transforms into a car/jet.
Yeah. The fight scenes in the second half weren’t nearly as cool as those in the first. But then again, the first half is the hardest to follow plot-wise. I still prefer the first half by far.
The last two episodes were kind of hard to watch, especially for anyone who’s a bit squeamish.
I think super grab is lv3? If so, then it would take a full 5 levels to do this, but it would be possible. Grabs are comboable in this game. It would do a LOT more damage to attempt a reset into the grab instead of comboing into it, though.
