Yeah, Mami Itoh has done a Manga Story at one point or another with almost everyone in CFJ. The only ones he missed as far as I know are Nool, Guy, Rose, Urien, Yun, Alex, Karin and of course Ingrid. It’s still 13 out of 21. I hope Capcom tracks him down and gets him to draw a CFJ Manga!
At the AM Show in Japan, Capcom said there will be no more characters in CFJ. So outside of unplayable bosses, looks like 21 is it.
On the plus side, due to the small cast, Midnight Blisses and Sabakis(Anakaris’ Transformation) are in the game, unlike Anakaris’ missing transformation in MVC2 where he turned everyone into the same doll! Special thanks to Iggy of Madman’s Cafe for describing the Midnight Bliss and Sabakis he’s seen so far!
Midnight Blisses
Guile - Wears a top in the the American Flag, has long hair, is sexy.
Ingrid - Heart, candy, looks like Athena in KOF 2003
Urien - Looks like Makoto with Urien’s "Clothes."
Rose - Like on a gondola in Venezia, has an oar.
Mukuro - A masked Kunoichi(Female Ninja)
Hauzer - Has Hauzer’s head, the body of a shoolgirl.
Sabakis
Hauzer - A steak with a flame around it.
Nool - Baby Octopus.
Ingrid - A very big baby.
Ryu - A cat tail coming out of his Duffle Bag.
Sakura - The Trophy she won in the “Sakura Ganbaru!” Manga.
Guile - A red Guile Doll with a huge nose.
Urien - An Olmec Statue’s head.
Darkstalkers and Warzard characters Sabakis and/or Blisses are the same.
Oh and vasili10 - They are making a Viewtiful Joe Anime slated for 52 Episodes coming soon. Perhaps the Cells you mentioned Capcom recently acquired are for that? The last time someone asked Manga Video about the SFZ2 Anime, they said this November, the same thing they said last year, LOL! I’m willing to wait on the SFZ2 Anime, so long as it comes out great.
