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."

Sammy vs. Capcom?

How about Sammy vs. David Lee?

might as well jump... :-P

Great Potential

[Momomoto]

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.

Guilty Gear Vs Capcom

[evilhayama]

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.

Guilty Gear vs. Samurai Shodown?

[Bahumat]

Now this has me thinking, a Guilty Gear vs. Samurai Shodown game. It'd be beautiful.

Bring it!

[Gizzmonic]

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'.

Just as long...

[AlexMax2742]
