Inspired by Tatsunoko vs. Capcom at Frosty Faustings IX? Join the Growing TvC Netplay Community

As seen with its exciting top 8 at Frosty Faustings IX, there is a bit of groundswell for a potential revival for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom as players return to the 2v2 fighter ahead of Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. With buzz returning to this Wii-exclusive title, the small netplay community for TvC is attempting to rally more people to the cause through the special Tatsunoko vs. Capcom Discord.

Since the Wii’s online matchmaking is now offline, members of the TvC Discord play together using the Dolphin emulator and have started to run weekly netplay tournaments to test the waters of competition. There is even a dedicated YouTube channel for tournament replays and match highlights, if you are interested in the current state of TvC netplay.

The winner of the Frosty Faustings IX tournament, MagnoMan is an active competitor in the netplay scene, as well as Obiiwan, a top player from Croatia. If you are at all interested in either learning or relearning Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, check out the replay channel and the Discord for extra information.

Dissidia Final Fantasy Will Feature Story Mode on Console

In an interview for the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu, Dissidia Final Fantasy director Takeo Kujiraoka and producer Ichiro Hazama answered questions on the status of the PS4 version of Dissidia Final Fantasy Arcade. Similar to the previous versions on PSP, the console version of Dissidia Final Fantasy will feature a Story Mode where the forces of good and evil will not doubt clash for the third time.

With Spiritus and Materia replaces Cosmos and Chaos as the champion deities for this edition of Dissidia, expect the Story Mode to involve players choosing to side to fight for balance or whatever. I doubt many players are going to pick up Dissidia for the gripping story, they probably want to watch Terra and the Onion Knight team up to smash Kuja and Sephiroth’s faces in.

Hazama explained that Dissidia missed the grand 30th anniversary for the Final Fantasy series as the game still is not in the greatest state to show off to fans. While the arcade version of Dissidia Final Fantasy is running on PS4 architecture, it must require extra tuning to perform on a standard PS4 system. I wouldn’t be surprised if Dissidia is a game which requires the PS4 Pro to run at top speeds.
