Prologue/Backstory
Angered that his great creation for salvation, the 'Fetus of God', was dismantled, the dark messiah known as Jedah Dohma initiates a plan to revive it. He creates another new dimension, which this time causes a multiple set of realities merging together into one. Along the way, Jedah encounters the 13th Dead Apostle, Night of Wallachia who is intrigued with Jedah's actions and decides to join him in creating a salvation for all. As both Jedah and Wallachia bring calamity and chaos to the new dimension, the heroes from the many realities of Type-Moon and Capcom must form together to stop the dark messiah and his Dead Apostle ally from succeeding, even if they have to face the Devil King of the Sixth Heaven or the King of Heroes themselves. But little does everyone know though, that Jedah's dimension has also drawn in an 'Ultimate One' that is about to awaken from its very long slumber.
Game Modes and Gameplay
The optional modes in the main section that are available in Type-Moon Vs Capcom are as follows:
Arcade Battle - Where you play as one of the playable characters and go through their story mode. You fight in a number of 7 battles against CPU controlled characters before proceeding to battle against the Sub-Boss and Final Boss of the game, if certain conditions are met, you may end up facing a secret boss.
Versus Battle - This is where you and another player can battle against each other or against the computer, you have the option to save replays on this mode and view them in Gallery.
Time Attack - Similar to Arcade Battle, but under different settings, Time Attack enables you to beat the game with any character as quick as possible.
Survival - By choosing a playable character, you must go through a gauntlet against all the playable characters in the game and survive.
Challenge Mode - Challenge Mode houses many challenges which include some of the famous bonus stages from the Street Fighter series (Such as the Wreck the Car and Barrel challenge). Another bonus stage worth mentioning is where you face a giant version of Akiha Tohno in one round, and you must defeat her before you are or the time runs out.
Gauntlet - Gauntlet is a mode that is similar to a classic beat 'em up game (like the Streets of Rage series or Double Dragon) where you pick any of the 50 playable characters and go through a series of 5 stages in which there is a boss waiting in the end of every one. The gameplay and character's movelists are slightly altered for this mode.
Tiger Dojo - This is a tutorial mode where you learn how to play Type-Moon Vs Capcom, with your instructor in this mode, Taiga Fujimura, GAOO!!!
Training - This is where you can practice and hone your skills with any character.
Gallery - This section is where you can view the illustrations of the characters, the CG scenes in Arcade Battle, more artwork, profiles, music, and finally saved replays of battles in Versus.
Options - Basically where you can change the settings of the game, such as difficulty, sound, colour etc. you can also load or save your progress here.
The gameplay is similar to how you play familiar Capcom fighting games which is usually three punch buttons, three kick buttons and the ability to taunt. Every character has a unique specific set of commands called Special Moves, they also have a three powerful techniques which can be activated if their power guage which is located at the bottom of the fight screen. Level 1 allows you to execute a Super Arc Combo, getting your power gauge to Level 3 gives you the opportunity to use the Ultra Arc Combo and finally, reaching Level 5 MAX enables you to use your character's most powerful technique which is labelled Ultimate Phantasm Combo, which is a trump card and a sure killing blow against your opponent in most circumstances.

These are the 52 playable characters and the final boss (unplayable) that will be in the game, each side has 26 characters each to choose from (Note: Please suggest and comment for more characters from both franchises, guest characters are a no go, PERIOD).
