Marvel Vs. Capcom:

SNK Vs. Capcom:

Other Games:

  • Street Fighter X Tekken includes Poison (who was never playable in the Street Fighter series before), "Bad Box Art Mega Man",note  Pac-Man in a Mokujin robot, and exclusive to the Sony platforms are Cole MacGrath and Sony Japan mascots Toro and Kuro. And while Akuma as the Street Fighter side boss was hardly surprising, nobody expected Ogre to be the boss for the Tekken side.
  • Capcom's choices for their own representatives in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom seem to come from the far corners of their character library. For Street Fighter III they went with Alex (a very slow-paced character in his source series and one whose moves don't spring to mind in a hyperactive fighter like the Vs. Series is known for, though it is worth noting that he was supposed to be the new focal character in his game to complement Ryu) instead of someone more nimble (such as Ibuki or Necro). From Onimusha they pulled Kaijin no Soki, who only appeared in Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams, as opposed to Samonouske Akechi, the protagonist of both the original and the third game Demon Siege (and ostensibly the "true" protagonist of the series). Saki Omokane, from Quiz Narairo Dreams, might have some presence to Japanese audiences but American players would only know her as that girl with the rifle who can be chosen as an Assist Character in the first Marvel vs. Capcom. And finally they pulled a Lost Planet Vital Suit to represent their "giant" character opposite Gold Lightan, tagged "PTX-40A" and helmed by an unseen pilot. No characters from Resident Evil or Devil May Cry made the cut.note  And the Big Bad is, of all possible people, Yami, the final boss of Ōkami, who is already a Giant Space Flea from Nowhere in its own game, and no one else from Okami is in this game. For the Updated Re-release, Ultimate All-Stars, Zero is an understandable choice (who is famous for his Laser Sword and having previously appeared as a fighting game character in SVC Chaos) but Frank West once again comes across as an unusual pick (albeit he is the most prominent cast member of his franchise, having appeared as the playable protagonist three times in the original game, Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, and Dead Rising 4 - although at the time of TvC he had only appeared in the original game, making his character less prominent than it became later). Both of them would also return to the Capcom vs. series in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (Zero in the original Fate of Two Worlds and Frank in that game's own "Ultimate" Updated Re-release with a heavily modified moveset) and Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite.
  • Capcom Fighting Evolution features four Red Earth characters, none of whom are Tessa. note
