4----
5* BestKnownForTheFanservice: A lesser example but it seems whenever people talk about the game they always seem to bring up Morrigan’s '''EXTREMELY''' suggestive [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9IFmmAipT0 ending from the American version]] which has some ''strong'' Straight Shotacon vibes, which is ''rare'' to see in a Capcom game, let alone an ''American'' release. [[spoiler:Of course this turned out to just be an ordinary match at an arcade tournament between the two of them, but still.]]
6* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Most endings in ''Cross Generation of Heroes'' do not mention the final boss fight at all. Those falling outside the "most" are Roll, Yatterman-1, Volnutt, Karas, Jun, and Viewtiful Joe's. In ''Ultimate All-Stars'' however, everyone refers to [[spoiler:Yami]] directly or indirectly -- either they contemplate on them defeating the final boss, or recovering from the reality warp that took place during the game (which apparently is the "real" plot).
7* FanNickname: In order to differentiate them, "[=VJoe=]" for Viewtiful Joe, and "Joe" or "[=JoeC=]" for Joe the Condor.
8* HighTierScrappy:
9** Karas in ''Cross Generation of Heroes'' is disliked by many people due to his insane pressure game and decent range with solid gimmicks (only hindered by his average movement speed, low HP and subpar one-shot damage). Karas was nerfed in the international release, which caused him to take the lower ends due to his tighter execution.
10** Tekkaman Blade gets this kind of ire for his powerful well-rounded pressure from anywhere in the screen and his free crossups. Though this is softened a bit from him being hindered by his awkward movement and unsafe attacks on block, thus requiring careful usage.
11* HilariousInHindsight:
12** The game's intro song is called "Across the Border." The ''Ultimate All-Stars'' version effectively made a jump across the border overseas.
13** After defeating Yatterman-2, Doronjo makes a comment about how she and her gang are [[HostileShowTakeover the stars]] of ''Yatterman'' now that they've defeated both Yattermen. Come 2014, Tatsunoko truly does make them the stars of a ''Yatterman'' series: ''Anime/YattermanNight''.
14* LowTierLetdown: Gold Lightan was essentially tournament-banned... for being so bad nobody seemed to be able to win with him.
15* MemeticBadass:
16** Hurricane Polymar. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfOVmRxkMUs He's the guy]] who beats up people while wearing spandex with a thong (not an underwear!) outside of his suit and a white crest that has an arrow pointing down to his crotch--all while yelling out like Creator/BruceLee.
17** Roll, thanks to how [[TookALevelInBadass different]] she is from [[MemeticLoser her]] ''VideoGame/MarvelVSCapcom'' [[JokeCharacter self.]]
18* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Roll. She's no longer a weaker clone of Mega Man, and has attacks that actually prove quite useful if you know your way around. In-universe, her opponents' win quotes are rather respectful towards her.
19* SoBadItsGood: The Japanese version of ''Ultimate All-Stars'' has rapping lyrics in the Training Stage, which are filtered in the English and US versions. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS_1ZZAaD94 I'M SHORYUCAN'T TOUCH THIS SKILL!]]
20* {{Squick}}: PTX-40A and Gold Lightan are giant characters whereas Roll and Viewtiful Joe are tiny characters. This can lead to animation errors during cinematic attacks, particularly Alex's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwf67gJw77k Stun Gun Headbutt when performed on Gold Lightan]].
21* TearJerker: The ending for Viewtiful Joe. It has him [[spoiler:beating Yami, then getting sucked back to his dimension. The other heroes talked about how big of a chatterbox he is, but overall, really liked him and knows that this isn't the last time they would see him. The ending picture of Joe on the brink of tears as he looks in the store window seeing the heroes he met in the other world really makes you think, especially if you are an otaku like Joe.]]
22* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Quite a few for the game's UpdatedRerelease, ''Ultimate All-Stars'':
23** The removal of character-specific themes, mini-games, and animated endings were not received well.
24** Neither was the change to this game's opening move and AnimeThemeSong, especially the former since it was seen as lazy and only mildly different from the trailers.
25** Character changes, especially Karas, who was a powerful character in ''Cross Generation of Heroes'' before being nerfed for balance reasons.
26* UnexpectedCharacter:
27** Nobody expected that Creator/{{Tatsunoko|Production}} would be the next company Capcom would pick a fight with, so their entire roster counts as this.
28** As for the Capcom side, though, most of their roster was also quite unexpected:
29*** [[VideoGame/MegaManLegends MegaMan Volnutt]] getting in over [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic the original Mega Man]] or even [[VideoGame/MegaManX X]], as well as Tron (and the Servbots) from his own series, who has been frequently in crossovers since ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom2''.
30*** Soki as an ''VideoGame/{{Onimusha}}'' representative, over the series' main protagonist Samonuske Akechi.
31*** Saki, at least for overseas players, as her origin game was a Japan-only arcade quiz game. Her only other appearance prior to ''[=TvC=]'' was a [[AssistCharacter Helper]] in [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomClashOfSuperHeroes the first]] ''Marvel vs. Capcom''.
32*** [[VideoGame/DeadRising Frank West]], maybe to give American players something to relate to.
33*** Alex being the third ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' rep came as a surprise to many. It was incredibly uncommon for ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIII'' characters to get featured in cross-over games [[note]]The one exception being Yun in ''VideoGame/CapcomVsSNK2MarkOfTheMillennium'' and even that was due to his having a sprite from the ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha'' series.[[/note]] The fact that Alex was also added during a time where ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'' nostalgia was at its peak in Capcom made it all the more impressive.
34*** PTX-40A, a gigantic mecha originating from [[VideoGame/LostPlanet a third-person shooter]] chosen to represent Capcom as their giant fighter.
35*** [[VideoGame/RivalSchools Batsu]]'s inclusion was also another pleasant surprise. Due to coming from a 3D Fighting game, it wasn't common for ''Rival Schools'' characters to be included in the ''VideoGame/CapcomVs'', the one exception being Kyousuke in ''VideoGame/CapcomVsSNK2MarkOfTheMillennium.'' Batsu's inclusion here was even more surprising given that by this point, there had not been a new ''Rival Schools'' game in 8 years.
36*** The final boss is [[spoiler:Yami, the main villain of ''{{VideoGame/Okami}}'', being surprising due to being from a well-received game that [[AcclaimedFlop failed to turn a profit]].]]
37* VindicatedByHistory: Wii exclusivity doomed it to being a middling release at best, due to the platform's reputation for not being particularly fighter-friendly compared to the [=PlayStation=] 3 and Xbox 360. But the announcement of ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomInfinite'' in December 2016 and multiple perceived similarities to ''Tatsunoko vs. Capcom'' have given it renewed attention in the competitive scene. ''[=TvC=]'' got even greater vindication when ''Infinite'' released with numerous flaws [[note]]a lack of content, an over reliance on the gimmicky Infinity Stones, no arcade endings at all, a roster with many fan favorites missing[[/note]], which allowed fans to look back at ''[=TvC=]'' in a more favorable light and appreciate its strengths.
