Fighting game similar to Marvel vs Capcom.
The game will feature 2-D gameplay.
This game could possibly be a downloadable game on Xbox Live and Playstation Network.
Players choose 3 characters at a time to create their own team, like MvC. Each character possesses
Normal Attacks – Basic High Punch, Low Punch, High Kick, Low Kick, etc.
Special Moves – “Hadouken”
Super Moves – Moves that require the Finale Meter to be filled to a certain point
Finale Moves – Ultimate attacks that require the Finale meter to be completely full
Assist Attacks – Quick moves that characters do when assisting teammates
Because there is now two different types of “super moves” or “ultimate combos”, characters have more health than Marvel vs Capcom characters.

Game Modes:
Arcade Mode:
Players fight through a number of stages against the CPU. The final stage pits the player against a boss character named “Death”. Death is a neutral character between the two companies, as he is featured in neither of the two games (with the exception of the Castlevania series).
Death has two stages. First is the Grim Reaper stage where he looks like the typical Reaper with a scythe. When defeated, he becomes a monstrous armored beast. This could be subject to change, in case Namco or Konami can design or use a previous bossish character.
Versus: For multiple local players
Online
Story: Predetermined situations and character team-ups are created to form challenges for the player.
List of Possible Challenges
-Castlevania themed
-Soul Calibur themed
-Tekken themed
-Classic characters mash up
-Possibilities are endless!
One of the main pros of the game will be the appearance of the characters. All of the characters will retain their original and destinct art styles. For instance, the Alucard from "Symphony of the Night" will look how he did in the game while he is fighting a cartoony-looking Pac-Man from the "Pac-Man Adventure" series. Obviously, the 3-D characters will look odd on a 2-D fighting plane, but it sure will be unique!
However, if that plan will not work, i'm sure a sprite version could be made (just like MvC2). That's Plan B. Or maybe this feature could be turned on and off just for fun?
And for reference, here are a couple mock biographies/move lists.
Name: Alucard
From: Castlevania Series
Faction: Konami
Alucard is the son of Count Dracula, the Lord of Vampires. Unlike his father, Alucard fights for good. In Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Alucard infiltrates Dracula's Castle and defeats his father and the evil sorcerer, Shaft.
He is a quick and technical character, with resourceful moves that cover the screen.
Special Moves
Fireball – D, DF, F+P
Summon Spirit – B, DB, D, DF, F+P
Wolf Charge – B, Fcharge, Release+K
Wing Smash – In air – U, UB, B, DB, D, DF, F+P
Super Moves
Dark Metamorphosis - D, DB, B+PP (both punch buttons)
Finale Moves
Soul Steal – (Half Circle) B to F+KK (both kick buttons)
Name: Pac-Man
Game: Pac-Man
Faction: Namco
Pac-Man is one of many heroes to save the world. In earlier games he was nothing but a pellet eating circle-thing, but in later games he is a full fledge hero.
He is a balanced character, with many moves that propel him.
Special Moves
Dash – Bottom Right quarter circle+P
Pellet Throw – Bottom Right quarter circle+K
Pac Rush (quick successive hits) – Quarter Circle Bottom+P, P, P
Super Moves
Gulp – B, Fcharge +PP
Dash Dash (exits side of screen, reappears other and attacks)- B, B, B+KK
Finale Moves
Super Pac-Man – B, Full Circle +PP
Also, if you're curious, Google the game, "Pacman 2: The New Adventures". It is a very fun SNES game, and I have very fond memories of it from my childhood. It would be sweet if it was on Xbox Live Arcade or Playstation Network. I shouldn't have to tell you how to acquire the game otherwise ;)
