Tatsunoko vs. Capcom change list for Ultimate: All-Stars

Posted on Feb. 25, 2010 at 3:27 p.m.

Ever wonder what tweaks were made to the cast members of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars from the game's original release, Cross Generation of Heroes?

Well, Seth Killian came through with a list that's been translated from Japanese to English, so there's a few rough spots, but overall this is nice stuff to know.

There's also a footnote at the end explaining why one change in particular was made.

• Hard standing attack is able to Cancel.
• The performance of Slash Elbow has changed, and the Hard version can wall bounce players.

Tatsunoko Characters

• Medium Lightning Punch is now a normal attack instead of a special attack.
• The charge time for Hard Lightning Punch is a little longer.

Doronjo
• An impossible defense time is longer when a hard crouching attack, and it's able to do combo after canceling Super Comfy (?).
• Able to cancel pulling Tonzura to pull Boyakki or vice versa.

Gold Lightan
• Battleship Breaker can move forward.

• Gold Crash can hit opponents when they're lying down.
• Various attacks are stronger.

Jun the Swan

• Only the Yo-Yo has the String Bomb's collision detection.
• Assist attacks can hit bombs now too.
• Able to combo after Dancing Swan.
• Doesn't take off damage while performing Mirage Burst until it gets to a hittable frame.

Karas

• Kasha / Yoinagi are adjusted. (Kasha's charge time, etc.)
• Ungaikyo's hit frame is a little delayed.
• Overall, the power of his attacks has been decreased.

Ken the Eagle
• Overall he does more damage.
• After canceling Towards + Medium Attack you can pull out a combo (mid-air Bird Shoot and Eagle Rush).
• You can only do Bird Shoot once when you're in the air.

Ippatsuman
• Toward + Hard Attack is able to cancel, but no longer has super armor.

• Between attack and to Storm Kamae, the character doesn't lose health gauge.
• During Storm Kamae, there is no pushing away even if you do advancing guard.

Tekkaman
• The amount of time it takes to attack when on the ground is longer. (i.e. Ground moves have more start up frames.)
• Tekklancer is stronger (Hard Tekklancer it's easier to connect and do combos).
• In the air, Voltekka is easier to pull (it's stronger and it's easier to connect from mid-air Galaxy Windmill).

Yatterman-1
• Both 1P and 2P can call the Yatter Wan.
• Towards + Hard Attack is stronger. The attacking determination is stronger and the height that the opponent gets attacked is higher therefore it is easier to do combos.
• Some of his attacks do less damage compared to the previous game.

And here's the S-Kill footnote.

"• Casshan: The charge time for Hard Lightning Punch is a little longer."

Why is this? It prevents Casshan from doing an unblockable, nearly-inescapable combo after he knocks one character out and another character is coming in. In TvC: CGH, before the new character was on screen, Casshan could call Friender's flame breath to hold them in block-stun while charging up his (unblockable) hard lightning punch move, and using that to start a combo. That was a little too big a reward for KOing one opponent character, so we've given the incoming opponent an easier chance to escape.

they gave Casshern longer arms. His range isn't very good and hard to get in, especially against Zero or TekkaBlade players

Finally from a Capcom Employee, the main beard news guy Seth, rather than awesome fan Azrael - who watches awesome 50 yen Fuerte matches in person.
