Sega vs. Capcom: Next Generation of Heroes

Sega vs. Capcom: Next Generation of Heroes is an upcoming crossover fighting game developed by Capcom,Sonic Team and Platinum Games for Arcade, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Wii U. It features characters from the franchises of Sega and Capcom. It is the ninth installment of the Capcom VS. series. This game will be released at May 2017.

Gameplay
Sega vs. Capcom will have 3 on 3 game settings similar with what was used on Marvel vs. Capcom 3, along with its 2 on 2, and will include Single Match in the likes of classic Street Fighter titles. This game brings classic features such as Crossover Duo Attack, Advancing Guard, Snapback, and a new feature called Crossover Duo Hyper Combo, where two different characters perform their own double team Hyper Combo. The parrying system from Street Fighter III returns with character assists from Marvel vs. Capcom which is only available on Single Match. The groove/ism system from Capcom vs SNK and Street Fighter Alpha 3 returns as well, but will be called "Style" and will not affect the Hyper Meter. The Sega Style meter is based on Street Fighter Alpha 2 's Custom Combo System, while the Capcom style has a 4 gauge EX meter based off Super Meter from Street Fighter IV, which only works for EX special moves.

Adventure Mode has both a platform and side scroll beat'em up style of gameplay. The stages take place on different worlds from the respective franchises of Capcom and Sega, while only playing as Sonic. It also has a 2D/3D style of gameplay resembling that of Sonic Generations and Sonic Adventure 2 with special attacks such as Homing Attack and Boosting. While you play as different characters in Beat "Em Up Mode, you can play as characters like Megaman, Beat, Strider Hiryu and Viewtiful Joe and even Dante and Bayonetta can travel to get to the next phase while fighting characters, like Ryu, or Akira.
