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.

Guilty Gear Vs Capcom by evilhayama · 2003-09-11 20:36 · Score: 2, Interesting

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.
