The Best of Both Universes – Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars Review

Written by: Tim Latshaw

A successful fighting game, in my opinion, will please two camps: tournament-level players who buy the arcade sticks and practice combo chains in the shower, and people who are just looking to have a good time at the expense of potentially mashed buttons. Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All Stars strikes a good balance between these two camps, offering a fun, accessible experience that the elite can obsess over.

The fact Capcom decided to bring the game to North America in the first place should be a pretty good indication of the confidence they have in it. Whereas previous Vs. titles have had plenty of well-known licensed characters to draw in Western players, Tatsunoko’s properties are not as well known, and those many do know — including Speed Racer and (yes, you knew it was coming) the Samurai Pizza Cats — are nowhere to be found.
