Sammy Announces Sammy vs. Capcom, 4 Player Guilty Gear
DeadMeat (TM) writes "According to GameForms, Sammy announced that it will be working with Capcom on arcade versions of a forthcoming Sammy vs. Capcom 2D fighting game, as well as a solo Sammy project, a four-player Guilty Gear fighter sequel. Screenshots of the latter are available from Impress Game Watch, with presumably more information about the announcement for those who speak Japanese." Update: 09/12 04:10 GMT by S : GameSpot has more information on the full line-up at the AMShow arcade exhibition in Tokyo, which is where this news originated from.
might as well jump... :-P
Seems like all the good fighting games are against Capcom(Sammy vs Capcom, Capcom vs SNK 1 and 2, etc). So, it makes you wonder what Capcom has been doing to deserve all this anger from the Sammy and SNK camps to merit such fighting.
In other news, the OSDN has been purchased by Capcom in order to turn Slashdot into a Microsoft Tech Support page.
Assuming that Capcom updates their sprites so they'll look good beside the lavish characters from Guilty Gear, this game could be a great boon to the fighter genre. Capcom fighters get all of the exposure, simply because they're made by Capcom, while deep, beautifully-drawn games like the Guilty Gear series only get recognition from the hardcore fighter fans.
:(
I do, however, have the sinking feeling that the game will follow the Capcom fighting system more closely than the GG system. No double jumps, air dashes, or False Roman Cancels

Here's the top main block of test via Babelfish. Hopefully it will be somewhat helpful:

As for " the ATOMISWAVE " the baseplate for business which is produced making use of the graphic tip/chip and architecture of the dream cast. That veil was dispersed with the amusement machine show which is held in 2002. Exactly, it probably will be possible to say it was 1 year and rushed to the 2nd generation. The new function with network system " AW-NET " " of the ATOMISWAVE ", " the ATOMISWAVE " simply not only tieing with network, by the fact that the " AW card " is made to utilize to the user the results data and user information with the server management of bundle.

In addition because it has linked to carrying, also the arrival and it is possible making use of these points to make the expecting screen download.
Furthermore the AW card depending is not something which exists in game title, it is possible to utilize at AW-NET everything. When this happens, if 1 you buy, it is the story there is no necessity, but you say by the fact that release it does the design whose collection characteristic is high, it means that also scarcity unites. This time the card of limitation design had been distributed by the way already in the press kit.
Even, until you say, there are no, times when it is possible in addition such as ranking of the player and reference of the opposition data, but " opponent searching service " depending upon the game it is planned.

By the way you call this " AW-NET " 1 circuit just pulls, it is possible in 1 store to connect all AW-NET corresponding games.
Isn't it great how Nazi moderators would rather downmod people than upmod ontopic posts?
Of course, the idea that they're trimming down a topic that has a sum total of 8 post (9 counting this one) is just foolish to begin with. Ah, well, not every moderator can be smart or discerning.
The Guilty Gear series will probably be the only representatives on the Sammy side, but I can only hope they choose more interesting characters from the Capcom side. I've read rumours of Rival Schools and Darkstalkers characters in this new game (with new sprites!) Which would be a relief after SvC.
Also, the Capcom characters are being licensed by Sammy, so the actual game will be made by them, in a similar way to SvC being made by Snk/Playmore. Bringing the Capcom people into a Guilty Gear style game would be fantastic! I hope it doesn't peter out.
Now this has me thinking, a Guilty Gear vs. Samurai Shodown game. It'd be beautiful.

Any wordo n whaat arcade heardware will be used? What about potential home console stuff. I hope it's not PS2...PS2's lack of VRAM makes it hard to do much with sprites. gamecube or xbox would be a good home tho'.
(-1, Raw and Uncut is the only way to read)
Just as long as they update those cruddy low-res sprites for the Capcom charactors. Guilty Gear's sprites were so awesome.
