Yep, my copy just shipped last night (it'll take a good week or so to get here), but videos and such are starting to surface. Capcom updated their official site with the full animated intro http://www.capcom.co.jp/tatsucap/movie.html (Scroll down, it's the first video on the top left) If you prefer Youtube (though it doesn't look as great). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHieD8iQJs8&fmt=18 Mini game montage (Ken's game appears at 1:15) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEElCPMnm5Y It seems like you have to beat the game with a character to unlock their minigame Also, I don't know if it's just Doronbo, but it seems like you get a random character on the Main Menu to explain the game modes to you. Videos so far just show Doronjo, Tonzura and Boyakki. This video shows it here at the beginning and the end http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmo4LewtwE4 (<3 Roll's theme at 3:10, she seems to be the only character represented with a vocal) Also word is, Ai-chan from Yatterman is a Yet-to-be-revealed secret character. People are really pulling for Amaterasu to be Capcom's secret character because her nemesis Yami is the final boss. More as it develops...

Those are great, Cain! Thanks for posting these! I am at Ken's game shooting the goons! And then Katse and Sosai... awesome!!! FTR, is he SUPPOSED to be avoiding the girl and Yatterman?

Great stuff, Cain! Thanks for showing us!

They need to make a version of the Condor shooting the goons...

Or better yet, throwing shuriken! I really liked the shot of Jun in the air, at 1.16, in the animated intro. Ken looked good too!

Well still waiting for my copy (I paid for the cheap shipping so it serves me right) I do have some good news. Someone has made a rip of the game's soundtrack. I got Ken's and Jun's themes right here. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=G3WKF8EU People are starting to upload the character endings as well, although right now it's mostly just for the Capcom characters. Here's Alex's (Street Fighter III) Ending where he fends off a Galactor brigade. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFRseCbVY7g The plain text and still pictures is the Arcade ending, the animated bit afterward is the console exclusive ending. Also, the video above doens't show it, but if you press a button during the credits, you start playing a special mini game with Doronjo and company. You can see it at the end of this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=215aazF8e7s

Thanks for the links, Cain! I'm listening to Jun's theme right now!!! Cheese-o-rama! It has me !!!! It seriously sounds like some 80s dweeb is playing that song on a $30 mini keyboard!

Okay so I got this game earlier this week just before Christmas (took forever to get here!) I think saying this game is awesome goes without saying. I really looks better in motion on your own TV than say videos on the internet. Ken's face on his 3D model looks incredibly goofy though. Just a couple things I want to point out -There' no secret color schemes for the Tatsunoko characters just a 2P color which swaps the blue in Ken for a dark gray, and the pink in Jun for a teal color. -Though Doronjo's 2P color gives her a purple and maroon outfit making her look like Berg Katse. -One of the real neat things that would make this game awesome in the States (Capcom's still trying by the way) is you can unlock a nifty Encyclopedia for the characters featuring a detailed explanation of the character and the Anime they're from as well as a detailed description of their moves also telling how they originate in the Anime (at least that what it seems to me, can't really read Japanese aside from some Katakana) -Gameplay wise, IMO anyway: Jun > Ken. They both talk smack to each other both in their intro together and if one of them wins over the other. I hope someone could take the time to translate some of this. I know people on Gamefaqs have done it for other fighters. Now as for their endings, someone captured Ken's full ending in HD quality, but he didn't really do much of anyone else's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOEJnbXQolo Oh and I expect someone to Photoshop this with Ken holding a box of Colgate total. XD I've only been able to find a recording of Jun's full ending on Nico Video as part of a 27 minute compilation video http://d.hatena.ne.jp/video/niconico/sm5541250 If that doesn't work the Animated ending themselves are up on Youtube also in compilations http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TgqFgWuJ3Q (It goes Ken > Ippatsuman > Jun > Casshern > Tekkaman > Yatterman > Polymar > Karas > Doronjo > Daimaoh > Gold Lightern) Still doesn't work, well how about in pictures ^^ Jun actually has two different choices in her ending. One of them gives you this And the other gives you this Despite what you choose she gets the same animated ending A girls day out with Jun's new friends Saki and Chun Li Some punks want to ruin their fun Huh? Are they serious? Jun utilizes a new technique she learned Saki: "Miss Jun, you're amazing!" Aaaaaaaand. Fresh news from this morning. The official site updated with a new entry from one of the head producers of the game, listing characters who were in the initial roster and close to being in but had to be cut out. He then goes on to say how he'd like to do a sequel. Hmmmm... Tatsunoko Side : - Joe the Condor - Yatterman #2 - Shurato - Soul Taker - Nakahara Komugi - Daikyojin - Berg Katse - Tekkaman Evil - Braiking Boss -JJ Capcom Side : - Leon - Nash (Charlie) - Date Masamune - Arthur - Ibuki - Vega (M. Bison) - Lei-Lei (Hsein-Ko) - Zero Gouki (Cyberbots Akuma mecha) - Tiara Hime (Gaia Master) - Nero - June - Rouge - Tyrant - Hinata Wakaba I bolded Komugi because of this. Didn't know if anyone was familiar with it or not.

Thanks for the detailed info, Cain! Those scree shots are awesome! I was at your COlgate comment about Ken! Hopefully they'll be able to do a sequel, and bring the game to the US!

Oh, Cain! That was awesome! It looks like Ken is disgusted that Jun is getting all the attention in that 4th picture...too funny! Thanks for the update!

I too hope they bring this to the US. I can guess there would be a fair number from this site alone that would purchase it.

Great images, Cain! I wonder what's going on the Jun "ending" where she's looking quite upset, and her friend Saki is listening to a little girl. I prefer the other ending, where she's standing, triumphant, in the light (poor Ken!)

Thanks for the pics and info, Cain! Interesting list of cuts... Can't wait to see if they make a sequel with the Condor and Katse!

Thanks for the screen shots Cain! I'm sure Jun's happy to be wearing something different for a change

Thank you for sharing all those great pictures, Cain This image is definitely the coolest of them all, Jun perfoming The Spinning Bird Kick, Chun Li's signature move. I wonder if that means that Ken from Gatchaman will be able to perform Shouryuuken like Ken from Street Fighter,

Bwahahahahahaha...too funny, Yul! I love your new avatar, too! Did you draw her?

That's great, Yul!! And I love your new avatar too!

Cool avatar Yul, the Swan seems to be missing her nose though. Love the pic of Ken with his cavity fighting toothpaste!

Hi all!

I do have a problem with the scale in that picture. Is the guy she's kicking 36 feet tall or something? Or is Jun only 12 inches tall? Or maybe someone is hitting that guy in the face with a Cool Girl Jun doll? Regardless, the two characters shown in that image are not the same height as each other. James

I thought the same thing, James! Maybe Jun has learned a shrinking power as well.... Yul, love the Photoshopping! And your new avatar is very cute!

Nice photoshop pic!

No, I didn`t draw It, I made this avatar from this doujinshi .

I've been looking for her...that is quite a site! Some of those pics are pretty squicky- like the one with Jinpei and Jun...YIKES! I didn't see the one you used for your avatar though... now if only they had some Ken or some Joe pics over there...

Actually, my avatar is from paying part of the comics, so I don't know, if it is correct to upload it here If it`s ok, I`ll share. And there aren`t any pics with Ken or Joe

It strikes me as a bit odd too, but I was thinking it might be a variety of art stylization common to newer anime? Yul, your image of Ken holding the Colgate is great! The toothpaste makers really need to use him in their advertisements!

Yeah I noticed that too. There's some really weird perspective shots in this scene like this one My, Jun, what big feet you have. I'm pretty sure it's the guy flying into the foreground while Jun's still spinning in the background. It's budget animation, it's cheap but gets the job done (try watching Karas and then his ending in TvC). I like how clean the older characters look, KINDA like Ken's Yatterman 08 appearance but not as rough, where he looks straight out of the original cartoon. And awesome yul, just awesome! I just unlocked this pic as an extra the other night. http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/651/28zo0.jpg I didn't know who did it at the time, but it's actually Tatsunoko co-founder and Gatchaman producer Ippei Kuri. Oh and maybe some like James can help with this, but I mentioned Doronjo's alternate color makes her look like Berg Katse, I noticed her henchman Boyakki and Tonzura have different colors as well. Boyakki's clothes are a dirty green like a Galactor soldier uniform, but Tonzura's kind of a dark red color, and I was just wondering if there were any Galactor agents who wore red or if I'm just looking too much into it.

Yeah you'd think, it's in his name, Gold Lightan does in his animated ending. And speaking of Ken and Street Fighter moves, it's really funny to fool young people when they ask "Is Ken in the game?" They naturally mean Ken Masters from Street Fighter, but we say "Yeah of course he is, he's on the cover?" "wut? I don't see him, I just see Ryu?" xD. No joke. But yeah I was kinda expecting there to be a cool "trading places" crossover ending with Ryu taking on Galactor and Ken and the team taking on Shadowloo. Maybe for the sequel they'll add more villains (as there are a lot listed in their early roster list.

Hi all!

...I was just wondering if there were any Galactor agents who wore red or if I'm just looking too much into it.

Well, there was Blacky, a Gallactor in Gatchaman #42 who wore a red version of the standard Gallactor uniform. While more orange than red, there was a similarly colored Gallactor who appeared in Gatchaman II #30. Regardless, I suspect that you're simply reading too much into it. James

I've always wondered why the Galactor goon that captured Joe in ep. 103, when he was driving at the track, and who later shot him at Karakoram, was wearing a blue uniform instead of the usual green one. Perhaps to imply that he was somehow of a higher rank (and skills)? I'd like to think that an ordinary, bumbling goon wouldn't have a chance against Joe (even if Joe was in really bad health by that point)!

That Gallactor was a Chief (And is referred to as such in the episode itself), not an average Gallactor member, hence the different color uniform. James

That must be what gave me the notion that he was a higher rank. I was just rewatching a bit of episode 50, the Trachodon episode, because I remembered that in it, a goon refers to earning medals to rise in rank. In this ep, he says he's already received 15 medals and will be a "Commander" if he gets five more. It's here, at 5.04. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmCKxZqnoAQ I just did some looking, and found where you discussed the ranking system, in the "Mechas and Captains" thread back in September. -------------------- "The specific titles used for Gallactor ranks do not correlate to any actual ranking system I have found, Japanese or otherwise. In the ranking system used by the U.S. Navy, a Commander is lower ranked than a Captain. Unfortunately, the kanji used by the Japanese for those same U.S. Navy ranks are not the same as used by Gallactor Commanders and Captains. So, while part of me leans toward using our ranking system, since it uses both Commander and Captain, this may not have been the intent of Tatsunoko (Assuming they had any intent at all regarding these ranks). The Commanding Captain might provide us with the best clue as to which one is higher ranked. It is traditional within our ranking system to add a lower ranking suffix to a rank to indicate divisions within a rank level (Lieutenant Colonel being lower ranked than a Colonel, for example). The Japanese military handles this slightly differently, adding kanji for "small," "medium," and "large" or "3," "2", and "1" as a suffix to ranks to designate where on the ladder of a particular rank someone is positioned, but the intent seems to be similar. By that logic, a Gallactor Commanding Captain would likely be a step between a Commander and a Captain, where one is higher ranked than a Commander, but not as highly ranked as a Captain. I'll admit that this is speculate on my part, but assuming Tatsunoko intended to follow the traditions of military ranking, I would guess that the Captain would outrank the Commander. Assuming that is correct, the levels of known Gallactor ranks would go as follows: Governor (X) Leader (Katse) Captain Commanding Captain Commander Chief Member The rank of Vice Governor briefly existed between Governor and Leader, but pretty much in name only. This was the rank given to Dr. Henjinman in Gatchaman #21 , and was used mostly to trick the Doctor into creating cyborg horses for Gallactor. Once Henjinman's usefulness to Gallactor was finished, both he and his rank were eliminated." -------------------- Perhaps the goon in episode 50 should have had a blue uniform too, although that idea may have only come much later in the series.

Hi all!

I was just rewatching a bit of episode 50, the Trachodon episode, because I remembered that in it, a goon refers to earning medals to rise in rank. In this ep, he says he's already received 15 medals and will be a "Commander" if he gets five more.

An example which, once again, shows why you should never use the ADV English dub of the series for reference. In the Japanese language version (As accurately reflected in the subtitled version of the ADV discs), that Gallactor says that, once he gets five more medals, he'll be promoted to Captain, not Commander. Now, doe this mean that he's already a Commander and hopes to be promoted to Captain? Perhaps, or perhaps he's just figuring on skipping Commander and going straight to Captain. The Chief in #103 believes that getting Joe will get him a promotion to Captain, with no mention of Commander, so perhaps Commander is supposed to be higher ranked than Captain within Gallactor ranks. Unfortunately, Commanders and Commanding Captains appear so infrequently in the series, it's difficult to get a true sense of what was actually intended for the rank system used by Gallactor. Assuming there was ever any thought given to it at all!

Perhaps the goon in episode 50 should have had a blue uniform too, although that idea may have only come much later in the series.

Again, sadly, we really don't have enough reference examples to say with any certainty exactly what, if anything, the different color Gallactor uniforms are supposed to represent. From a production standpoint, their meaning is obvious; the different color uniforms are meant to help the viewer easily identify a specific guest character from amid a sea of Gallactor troops. That would explain why, in episode #42, Blacky had a red uniform, Ale Capon had a yellow uniform, Jim had a dark blue uniform, and Ryu wore a uniform with no eye covering, as well as why the Chief in #103 had a blue uniform. So, to say that a specific color uniform means a specific rank is like saying that all Gallactor Captains wore outrageous uniforms (They didn't, believe it or not. The Captain in episode #74 wore a standard Gallactor uniform, and the three Captains seen in episode #'s 46 and 89 all wore variations of the standard Gallactor uniform). It screams out as something to be analyzed and nailed down, but there are too many unexplained variables to make a defiinite conclusion. It's almost enough to make one think that Tatsunoko was making this stuff up as they went along... James

Duly noted. I've watched many episodes (usually my favourites) with both the dub and the sub, and I've noticed on occasion that the two differed, but I can't think what reason ADV would have for not using "captain" in the dub unless they wanted the extra syllable of "commander" in there to match the mouth movements better, or someone was careless.

Gasp! Really? I'm shocked!

To go somewhat OT, I'm pretty convinced that this is why they have Ken shout 'Galactor!' instead of 'Jun!' as the flowers burn at the end of the first Jigokillers ep. If you watch, his mouth moves enough to look like he's forming more than one syllable.

That would make sense. If I recall, there are episodes where Joe says "damn it!" in the dub, but it's "shit!" in the subtitles (and "kuso" in the original Japanese). In those cases, I only thought that they were trying to keep the dub more G-rated, figuring young children would be less likely to be reading subtitles, but maybe it was the mouth movement issue too!

I don't know about being G-rated. There's one ep (can't remember which one but I'm sure James knows. ) where Katse loses and he sits down and bangs on the console yelling "Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit!" etc. etc. about 30 times. And just today I was going through ep 44, and Joe bursts out with "Are you shittin' me?" Of course, if I were being told that *I* had to train with the Red Impulse Team, I'd probably be swearing too.

To go just a little further OT (while staying a bit on-topic...) That didn't seem to matter too much to Sandy Frank and crew. In Fierce Flowers, Mark practically whispers "Princess", but it's pretty clear from the animation that the Eagle wasn't just whispering her name.

Oh, I remember that! I watched that episode with my nephew and I still remember the look of "did Joe really just say that?" glee that appeared on his face. I'd forgotten what episode that was in. As for Katse, I hope someone can remember what episode that is in.

Heh I noticed that too. Great episode, but I haven't watched it on the ADV disc yet, which Episode # is it in the original? On a related, more on-topic note, the announcer for the game uses different adjectives based on how many hits you do in a combo. A lot of these are from other Capcom fighters (YES! MONSTER! VERY GOOD! VIEWTIFUL!) I haven't been able to do it myself (I'm okay at fighters, I love them, but I'm not the best at them), but they use "GALACTIC!" (Galactor?) and "TATSUNICAL!" for some of the higher hit counts.

The Jigokillers eps are 39 and 40, so Ken screams out at the end of ep 39.

Hey, has anybody already played the game? If yes, what your impressions are? I played it yesterday using Wii emulator, and it was soooooo cool

I haven't had the chance to play it, Yul...I'm glad you got to, though...it looks really neat! Here's a nice, long look at the video game from You Tube...at about 10 minutes, Ken battles a dark version of himself...and at the very end, Ken and Jun both battle something that looks like the mecha ball! Be sure to watch the very end if you want to see a couple of pics, and a short video clip of Ken. Jun and Ken Fight

Oh...and this vid shows both of Jun's vieo clips at the end of the game. I'd love to know what they're saying! Jun Endings

Originally posted by yul Hey, has anybody already played the game? If yes, what your impressions are? I played it yesterday using Wii emulator, and it was soooooo cool

I am amazed people are able to play this on Wii emulators. Wow! I use a "Twilight Hacked" Wii to make it Region Free. Thus I play a Japanese copy. As I said before, Jun is great in this game, even from just a gamer standpoint, she rocks. In fact making this reply, makes me want to fire up the Wii and play some before bed. And yeah, I'm kinda bummed no one's made any kind of quick translations for the endings yet. Not even a basic summary But you guys might like to know Capcom recently stated a couple weeks ago they're still very interested in bringing the game out. "Do not rule it out" was the response from Capcom's Christian Svensson, vice president, business development and strategic planning, when asked by VideoGamer.com for an update on a western release of the game. "That is all I can say right now," he said. "We are still actively working on having that happen. I can't say it's happening definitively. I couldn't give you a time frame, but as badly as the fans want it, we want to bring it." http://www.videogamer.com/news/do_not_rule_out_tatsunoko_vs_capcom_western_release.html And this was dated the 11th of this month. So really it's still up in the air

Sorry for the double post, but an interesting article has surfaced about Capcom bringing the game over (yeah they're STILL trying) http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/05/capcom-marvel-vs-capcom-3-not-part-of-deal-to-re-release-mvc/ It basically says Capcom has to go through THIRTEEN companies to bring it out over here. I mean I hope James sees this, because maybe he could shed some light on this. I never realized there was such a huge stake in a lot of these old Tatsunoko series. I figured things like Daimao and Ippatsuman would have nothing.

Hi all! I don't know the current legal status on every Tatsunoko property over here, but many of the shows that had characters that appeared in Tatsunoko Vs Capsom have, in one form or another, been licensed over here. Here's a quick breakdown: Gatchaman - by Sandy Frank, Saban/Disney, and (OAV) Urban Vision Casshan - (OAV) by Urban Vision (Movie) Paramount Tekkaman - by William Winkler Productions Yatterman - (Time Bokan OAV) - by U.S. Manga Corps Hurricane Polymer - (OAV) by Urban Vision Karas - by Manga Video Hakushon Daimao - by Saban/Disney Ippatsuman - (Time Bokan OAV) by U.S. Manga Corps So, of the characters that appear in the game, only one, Gold Lightan, has never had any tie to a U.S.-released product. With some of these, such as Tekkaman, I know that the rights have reverted to Tatsunoko. With others, such as Casshan and Hurricane Polymer, any claim would be tenuous, as the only the rights for the OAVs were licensed, not their TV series. Claims on Yatterman and Ippatsuman could be made only by the appearance of those characters in the Time Bokan OAV, and that claim would likely not be very strong. It's also possible that someone is working on a deal to bring over Casshan Sins, the Yatterman remake, or the Yatterman live-action movie, and that could muddy things up a bit. But, in most ways, Capcom would probably be in the clear for the Tatsunoko characters. Still, I suspect that they are taking an abundance of caution to make certain that no one can come after them after the fact. And I have my doubts that they really have U.S. 13 companies that they'd have to deal with to get clearance, but that number sure sounds impressive! James

Gamestop didn't mail me the bonus item that I was supposed to get for buying the game so I called them and they mailed it to me. Just got it today: Can't wait to see what cards I got! PS: For those that have the US version, we should trade friend codes so we can play together.

Looks great, John! Let us know what cards you have!

Definitely got lucky with what cards I got. I wanted at least Ken and I ended up with Ken, Jason, and Jun! They are pretty cool, they are lenticular so the Ken card turns into a Ryu card when you tilt it a little.

Yes, pictures please!

Sure thing. I'm going to put my little one to bed then I'll post some pics..

Taking these pics was a bit tricky seeing as they are lenticular but here you go! Ken/Ryu Card Joe/Viewtiful Joe (get it!?) Card Jun/Chun Li Card You got 8 to a pack, here's what they all look like Here's what the back of one of the cards look like

Very cool! Thanks so much for posting those!!

Those are way too cool!! Thanks for having shared the pictures with us!!

Thank you for taking the pictures and sharing them here.

You're welcome! I need to play this more so I can unlock Condor Joe.

Those are awesome, John! Thank you so much for posting! You did a great job showing both images on the cards!

Woohoo!!! Just won on Ebay brand new Capom vs Tatsunoko for $25 + $8 postage!!

Congrats, Maddy! You'll really enjoy the game!

Try to get the arcade fighter stick for it too. It's pretty expensive, but it's worth it!

So, someone finally managed to to obtain all the victory quotes in the game. And surprising enough, ALL Characters have not only random dialog, but dialog unique to each character! There's a lot of gems in here. I'm sure James will get a kick out of some of them. I know I can spot some inside jokes.

JUN THE SWAN Aren't you the strong one? Could I interest you in a full-time job protecting the planet? It's in your best interest to give up now before you really get hurt. Being the team's demolitions expert is more stressful than you know. Fights like these help me release that stress! Yessss! That felt so good! A little bit of exercise is always good for a girl's complexion! [h] That took longer than I had planned. OK, next fight I skip the reasoning and go straight for the fisticuffs! You might find this surprising, but out of all the Science Ninja members, I enjoy fighting the least. Umm... I hate to be the one to tell you this, but I really don't think fighting is your strong suit. Don't mistake my Science Ninja-issued yo-yo for a simple toy. You'll be in for a rude awakening if you do! Jun the Swan vs Alex: Even if you can read all my moves, what's the point if you still end up losing? Jun the Swan vs Batsu: You think it only takes guts to win? Someone needs a reality check. Jun the Swan vs Casshan: My, aren't you a hothead? That's never good for fighting. Would you like some herbal tea to calm your nerves? Jun the Swan vs Chun-Li: Hee-hee! Sorry for toying with you like that. [h] Jun the Swan vs Doronjo: The three of you are just like some stereotypical cartoon villains. What? No, I was not praising you! Jun the Swan vs Frank West: Um... No, I'm not going trick-or-treating. This is the uniform I wear when I'm on duty. Jun the Swan vs Gold Lightan: While I do like shiny things, you're just way too gaudy for me. I prefer simple, subdued designs in my jewelry. Jun the Swan vs Ippatsuman: A person's real power doesn't come from their speed or their strength. I thought you of all people would have known that. Jun the Swan vs Joe the Condor: There you are, Joe! You should come back to HQ and apologize to Ken. Jun the Swan vs Jun the Swan: I really like that color scheme you got going there. Would you mind trading with me? Jun the Swan vs Kaijin no Soki: It's easy to fight someone if they keep charging at you head on. You need to change up your tactics once in awhile. Jun the Swan vs Karas: Your codename means "raven," doesn't it? Are you the secret sixth member of Science Ninja? Jun the Swan vs Ken the Eagle: Since you lost, does that make me the new team leader? Jun the Swan vs MegaMan Volnutt: I'll get straight to the point. You use a nice array of weapons, but I still beat you. Do you see what I'm trying to say? Jun the Swan vs Morrigan: I'm so sorry. I'd really love to stay and chat, but I'm in the middle of a mission. Maybe next time, OK? Jun the Swan vs Polimar: I know you're trying to go for a "wild-and-crazy" hero thing there, but all that screaming is just downright annoying. Jun the Swan vs PTX-40A: It's my job to destroy hazardous materials, and you, sir, are one giant, walking hazard! Jun the Swan vs Roll: There, there. See? Everything's OK. Now tell Jun what's wrong. Did you lose your Mommy? Jun the Swan vs Ryu: I can tell you don't fight for justice or out of some obligation. There's a real purity in your devotion. Jun the Swan vs Saki: I think you and I could become great friends. We should hang out when we're both not on duty sometime. Jun the Swan vs Tekkaman: I'm really sorry about that. If I had been able to see your face, I might have been moved to go easy on you. Jun the Swan vs Tekkaman Blade: I'm sure there's someone out there who is really worried about you. Perhaps you shouldn't push yourself in a fight you can't win. Jun the Swan vs Viewtiful Joe: You're even more annoying than Jimmy! I'm sorry, but you'll have to excuse me. Jun the Swan vs Yatterman-1: It doesn't matter if you're a boy or a girl, or if you're young or old: you can still fight for justice! Keep up the good fight! Jun the Swan vs Yatterman-2: That was a good fight. But since it's just us girls here, maybe we could swap stories about past boyfriends. Jun the Swan vs Zero: You're quite an enigma. Sometimes you appear cool, calm, and collected. Then all of a sudden you just go buck wild.

M. KEN THE EAGLE I always lead by example, and that's why I must win every fight. You don't stand a chance of seeing these phantom eagle talons before they tear into you! You should quit before you get hurt. No matter how many times you fight me, I'll always win. The Science Ninja doesn't fight just for the sake of fighting. Now, if you'll excuse me... All Science Ninja members plan for every fight, and that's why we always win! Science Ninja is built upon the indestructible foundation of our teamwork! Wherever evil lurks, we will root it out! That is the Science Ninja motto! By the way, [p], I think you would make a great addition to the Science Ninja. What do you say to joining our fight against evil? Ken the Eagle vs Alex: We don't involve ourselves in street fights. Our duty is to keep the peace. Ken the Eagle vs Batsu: Your will power becomes... bullets? You make flame from your sense of justice...? What manner of... science is this? Ken the Eagle vs Casshan: You have great power, but it's meaningless if you can't land a hit. Ken the Eagle vs Chun-Li: I had no idea Interpol had such powerful agents. Science Ninja cannot be remiss in its training! Ken the Eagle vs Doronjo: Even the three of you cannot defeat me. I will see that evil is beaten no matter the odds. Ken the Eagle vs Frank West: I see that you're a freelance journalist. I need you to get the word out about the evil that is Galactor. Ken the Eagle vs Gold Lightan: The Science Ninja has been trained to fight giant robots like you. I knew how to beat you before the fight even began. Ken the Eagle vs Ippatsuman: I can tell you don't take fighting seriously. All your enemies up until now must have been really lame. Ken the Eagle vs Joe the Condor: Joe! When I give an order, you listen! You are not to fire the Bird Missile without my express permission! Ken the Eagle vs Jun the Swan: I think that's enough training for one day. You're making improvements every time, Jun! Ken the Eagle vs Kaijin no Soki: You have to follow a predetermined arc to swing your katana. It's easy to read your moves when you telegraph them like that. Ken the Eagle vs Karas: No group affiliation, and no distinguishing team marks. You look like a technologically advanced warrior, just like my team and I... Ken the Eagle vs Ken the Eagle: You need to be stronger if you want the right to bear the name of Eagle. Ken the Eagle vs MegaMan Volnutt: I'll always be two steps ahead of you. Lay down your weapon and surrender! Ken the Eagle vs Morrigan: Your flirtations will not work on highly trained warriors like us, temptress! You will not hinder us on our mission! Ken the Eagle vs Polimar:** Hang up your lance. You talk a good game, but your training doesn't even begin to rival ours. Ken the Eagle vs PTX-40A: You should have brought a small army and not that bucket of bolts if you wanted to defeat us. Ken the Eagle vs Roll: There's something about you that's a bit... off. Ken the Eagle vs Ryu: I'm the fastest member of my team, and you could still keep up with me! You've forced me to reevaluate my opinion of street fighters! Ken the Eagle vs Saki: You have unparalleled aim! Who knew the Japan Security Special Forces had such a high-caliber sniper in their employ! Ken the Eagle vs Tekkaman:** I've never seen armor like yours before. I'll just take a piece for Dr. Nambu to examine. Ken the Eagle vs Tekkaman Blade: You appear to carry a great weight on your shoulders. Have you tried talking to your friends about it? Ken the Eagle vs Viewtiful Joe: No more playing superhero for you. Go home before you hurt yourself. Ken the Eagle vs Yatterman-1: You use some strange weapons... You'd probably get along well with my teammate, Jimmy. Ken the Eagle vs Yatterman-2: I know that in your heart you yearn for world peace, but you'll need more training to help bring that about. Ken the Eagle vs Zero: That was a good match. I can trust you to fight to bring peace to the world, just like I'm trying to do! **Because Tekkaman is more famous for his lance than his armor, and Polimar has no lance at all but his armor is renown for its unique alloy, it's possible these lines were swapped within the game by some developer error.

It looks like Capcom made a boo-boo and mistranslated Jinpei as "Jimmy". Unless there's a Jimmy in Gatchaman I'm not aware of.

Sorry had to fit Joe on the next post. Character limit...

JOE THE CONDOR I am Science Ninja operative Joe the Condor. You would do well to remember the name of the man who beat you senseless. Are you going to surrender quietly, or am I gonna have to punch you again? Heh... I've got nothing nice to say to weaklings. Get out of my face before you get hurt. I have no sympathy for losers. Instead of hating me, you should hate your own shortcomings. The tragedy of all losers is that they think they were on the verge of victory. You can't hold back in the middle of a fight. That's one of the rules of battle you need to remember, [p].Heh... Target terminated. Proceeding to the next mission's coordinates. My Bird Missile will hunt evil down and eradicate it here and everywhere! Joe the Condor vs Alex: Argh! My head's still spinning... I can't believe someone was able to grab me in the middle of a fight. I'm getting careless! Joe the Condor vs Batsu: I risk my life in battle every day. Your punches feel like you've never even hit someone before. Joe the Condor vs Casshan: Your body is near invulnerable, but your joints are weak. I won by aiming for them. Joe the Condor vs Chun-Li: What does Interpol want with me? I'll decide how much I'll hurt you based on your answer. Joe the Condor vs Doronjo: You don't seem to be interested in changing your evil ways. Maybe you didn't learn your lesson when I beat you the first time. Joe the Condor vs Frank West: Our activities are state secrets. I'm going to have to confiscate that film. Joe the Condor vs Gold Lightan: I realize you're a traveler from a distant planet, but you don't have to be shy. In fact, I brought a lot of hot lead to welcome you. Joe the Condor vs Ippatsuman: All you do is attack head on. All your movements are over exaggerated and easy to read. But you got spirit so I guess that's beter than nothing. Joe the Condor vs Joe the Condor: Get out of my sight! I'm not going to waste my time on a dirty, stinkin' fake! Joe the Condor vs Jun the Swan: Not bad, Jun. Be sure to keep up this intensity on our missions. Joe the Condor vs Kaijin no Soki: Don't bring a sword to a gun fight. I think you've learned your lesson, right? Joe the Condor vs Karas: I can throw these shuriken feathers at the speed of sound. Your attacks are as slow as molasses in winter. Fighting you is a cinch. Joe the Condor vs Ken the Eagle: Hey now... It looks to me like you've been slacking off, Ken. Joe the Condor vs MegaMan Volnutt: That wasn't bad per se... If we ever fight again, you might have chance if you start off serious. Maybe. Joe the Condor vs Morrigan: Sorry, Miss, but I don't believe in the occult. I'm not a fan of anything you can't shoot with a real gun. Joe the Condor vs Polimar: All you do is run your mouth, eh? I take it the Hurricane style is nothing more than prancing around and talking ad nauseum. Joe the Condor vs PTX-40A: Your firepower and mobility is most impressive. ...I wonder what Dr. Nambu would make of it. Joe the Condor vs Roll: You are... just... just all over the place. You've obviously never studied the rules of combat. Joe the Condor vs Ryu: Yes... You are strong... For an amateur. You don't have what it takes to fight a pro like me. Joe the Condor vs Saki: I've learned something today. It's not all about power. You need accuracy as well. Joe the Condor vs Tekkaman: You talk big saying you're Earth's protector and you're the pinnacle of modern science. But all that bragging means nothing when you get beat down! Joe the Condor vs Tekkaman Blade: I don't care why you're fighting or why you think you should win. If you stand it my way, I will break you. Joe the Condor vs Viewtiful Joe: For the love of... Do you ever stop talking!? This is a fight, not a circus! Who or what are you!? Joe the Condor vs Yatterman-1: Anyone who tries to stop us will be hurt. That policy extends to even kids like you. Joe the Condor vs Yatterman-2: You done playing superhero, little girl? You should go home before you get hurt. Joe the Condor vs Zero: You've got speed, I'll give you that. But your textbook fighting style isn't gonna work on the man who wrote the book!

Some of these are hilarious! Thank God I can touch type because I sure as heck can't see what I'm writing!

I love the comments! But my favorite one is when Frank West beats Jun. (Sorry, I had to take Frank West to the end to unlock Yatterman 2.) He says something like: I promise, Jun! I deleted all those pictures of your underwear! ETA Cain, do you have a secret way to unlock the shooter game? I've done that stupid Dorombo bike game so many times, and always miss a letter or two! I don't seem to be any better with Roll...

Fabulous! Some of these comments are hilarious! I'll bet they had a good time making them up!

Now I'm really looking forward to playing my copy on the weekend! It arrived on Tuesday and I've been very good at not playing until the weekend when I've done the housework.

Congrats on getting the game, Madilyn! If you ever want to try the online mode, let me know.

Some of those comments are so right on for their characters!!

Hubby got me a copy as a present when Lambkin was born. He had a bit of a pout the other day and asked me why I hadnt played it yet! I pointed out to him that taking care of and breast feeding a 10 week old baby didnt leave me much time for anything other than getting dressed and the odd bit of housework when baby was sleeping.

Would you belive I haven't played it yet! Been too busy writing. Online - I haven't set up my Wii for online yet but only in th elast month got a wireless router so will be doing so soon. But John when I do, I'll PM you here to get your Wii friend name same with the rest of you
