For those of you who are confused about how a rpg with a fighting-game-style battle system works, let me explain how Namco X Capcom did it.
In the main mode, it's pretty much fire emblem. move around the battlefeild, get stuff from chests, buy things from the shop between battles. When you attack, however, the fighting game starts. in this mode, the enemy is pretty much a punching bag, and you push buttons to use your attacks. Use all the normal attacks available, you get a bonus. Get a big enough combo, get a bonus. When you're being attack, you can play a game of simon says to reduce damage, or spend action points to counter it.
Yeah, it wasn't the best system in the world- it took ages to beat levels- but it did a good job. The guys who made it went on to work on a Super Robot Wars spinoff.

A good writer puts in a lot of details in there story. But a great one gets a story from a single detail....Actually, SWR had a pretty complex storyline. And yes, all of thsoe for allof the characters are canon. the Touhou wki even has a timeline.
Instead of a Mortal Kombat vs Capcom/Street Fighter, which would end in some non-killing characters have to murder their opponent or perform Heroic Brutalities (Yuck), I think having Warner Brothers vs. Capcom could work better. You'd only need a couple MK characters, so the MK fighting staples wouldn't be needed. I've actually been writing things for this on Deviantart.
You guys like Let's Plays? You guys like shameless plugs? Well, come on down!Either Sega vs. Capcom or Konami vs. Capcom.
Other than Sonic, Sega has stuff like Phantasy Star, Streets Of Rage, Shinobi, Virtua Fighter, Shenmue, Panzer Dragoon, Shining Force, etc. not to mention all of the Platinum Games IPs (i.e. Bayonetta, MadWorld, Vanquish). On the Konami end, we've got franchises ranging from Castlevania to Contra to Metal Gear to Bomberman to Gradius to Ganbare Goemon/Mystical Ninja to Rocket Knight Adventures and so on.
I'm also impartial to Kellog's vs. Capcom: New Age of Breakfast. It's Tiger-gr-gr-gr-great!!!
You mention Sega and not one of you mention Segata Sanshiro?
I am disappoint, TV Tropes.
It's more frustrating waiting for the asskicking than the asskicking itself.Sanshiro's 3-bar hyper combo.
No start up. Unblockable. Put the controller down and take your shit like a man. A man that explodes. Twice.
Obviously, he'd be the undefeatable True Final Boss, guys. Duh!
...Monk vs. Capcom. Make it happen.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Disney vs. Capcom

With the power of a dragon I can make up for my inability to spill.The devil has a name, you know. His name is Chernabog.
It's more frustrating waiting for the asskicking than the asskicking itself.I do not see Claude Frollo or Negaduck on that list. I am disappoint.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Who are they?

It's more frustrating waiting for the asskicking than the asskicking itself.Frollo is the bad guy from The Hunchback Of Notre Dame. He's not even a fighter, but he's too epic to not be there. He'd probably be the stupidly frail character, though.
Negaduck is Darkwing Duck's archnemesis. He can be seen Dual Wielding chainsaws and using flamethrowers powered by frosting, among other things.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!OK I did not know how to spill there names I will fix.
Also still think I need more Mighty Glacier fighters

You are not alone, and you are not strange. You are you, and everyone has damage. Be the better person.Valve Vs. Capcom?

I'm not getting it. :/
I'm not that interested in Sega vs Capcom either, but I just felt like bringing up Segata Sanshiro.
It's more frustrating waiting for the asskicking than the asskicking itself.Okay, so lest I confirm this.
Mortal Kombat vs Street Fighter will never happen because Capcom are pussies. Mortal Kombat vs Darkstalkers or Red Earth will never happen because Capcom has decided to abandon all fighting games that don't involve Street Fighter.
Marvel vs DC will never happen because someone in charge is stupid.
The blindingly obvious Tekken vs Virtual Fighter has been put off in favor of Tekken vs Street Fighter, which aren't even in the same dimension.
Nintendo vs Sega is the closest of the classic video game vs to actually happen, well besides Capcom vs SNK, but who cares about SNK? They went bankrupt to piracy.
Capcom Vs. Warner Brothers.
Ryu Vs. Bugs
Akuma Vs. Sylvester
"Everyone wants an answer, don't they?... I hate things with answers." — Grant MorrisonCapcom vs Nicktoons, maybe?
Belief or disbelief rests with you.Akuma vs Tommy?
After the slight drought in Capcom fighting games before Street Fighter IV, that's not surprising. Business policies, eh.
Fight. Struggle. Endure. Suffer. LIVE.Capcom vs. George Orwell.
