Gamecom vs. Capcom 2

Gamecom vs. Capcom 2 (Chaos Battle ~ Gamecom VS/AND Capcom) is the direct sequel to the first Gamecom vs. Capcom. Like the original, GvS2 is a 2D tag-team fighting game published by Gamecom and developed strongly by Capcom... Now with the help of Iron Galaxy Studios, who were notably known for developing the official Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Online Edition for Playstation Network and Xbox Live. Available for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, Playstation Vita, and the GigaCom, Gamecom vs. Capcom 2 is updated with balance tweaks, new characters, returning and new stages, and a more robust story... And don't forget about some new game modes, too! The main character artwork has been drawn by Daisuke Ishiwatari (who worked in both Guilty Gear as the creator, and BlazBlue as the music composer), and promotional images were stylized by Falcoon. Unlike in the original installment, Tetsuya Shibata and Masato Nakamura have not reprised music composition duties, and there are now songs ripped from other notable titles (some of them are either arrangements or remixes at that)

Note
I, the great Ouroburos, originally expected to start work on GvS2 during Saturday evening... And yet, I was a little too excited to wait, so on this Friday, I gave myself a headstart!

Gameplay
Most of all the game mechanics from Gamecom vs. Capcom have been retained, except for a few differences below.

Changes in mechanics

 * Whenever playing as a character during gameplay, you can not only use his/her own moveset, but you can also change the playstyle that was originally for a different character (ex. Jared Raigon can have Beecanoe's moveset, Genius Guy could utilize Dark Guy's, etc.)
 * The super-powered techniques in the original, the Meteor Breaks, can now be performed anytime on the go, with or without any levels in your power gauge.
 * The ultimate attacks, known as the Giga Meteor Break Finishs, are now allowable for use in any round... However, the "35% or lower health" method is still mandatory. Now renamed as Final Oblivion Force
 * 1-on-1 and 2-on-2 battles have been newly implemented into this installment... Originally 3-vs-3 mechanics were to be put in, but I decided to leave it out since I think it's been abused lately in crossover titles. Also keep in mind that every character has his/her own storyline, where you fight in fifteen different battles, exchangable dialogue quips (full-on voiceovers included), and animated cutscenes in the middle of the game animated/produced by Japanese animation studio Xebec.

Character Roster

 * Nearly every character from the predecessor has returned (excluding a few halves of the DLC), and have brought newcomers along to join the fray. Some of the characters that were DLC in the past are now unlockable characters, instead. This is also the first GvS title in the series to not only feature Japanese, but also English voice acting.
