Capcom Fighting All Stars: Code Holder

[NinjaRed5000]

this would've been interesting. Ono should probably restore this project, add a few more recognizable characters, better animations and updated graphics (not like SFIV, but more realistic, ala Tekken and Virtua Fighter). too bad this might not happen, but at least a new darkstalkers game is rumored to be made

[neimyx1]

thumbs up if street fighter 4 sucked ass

[mopanda81]

Codes are the new Gems, Hold that in your chest.

[ddrfreakownz]

looks awesome to me, didnt expect to see haggar either. makes me want it moreeeeeeee

[Playadura]

Looks like SFxT gameplay and also more interesting than SSF4

[HypnoSwag]

@Playadura To me it looks more like Rival Schools/Project justice gameplay.

[kidgoku233]

Man this game should've came out this would've been a great game.

[sneakersslave1]

@kidgoku233 actually it is ready but it was never released because of EXREMELY NEGATIVE FEEDBACK FROM TESTERS back at its time when it was ready. maybe we can expect a new one now on2D/3Dlooking invornment!

[AceBadguy]

...What? 

[Sawa963]

Ryuuuuuuu PAWNCH

[abduabd]

CEO Jebailey brought me here.

[Malivictus]

its the CPS3 Engine with Rival Schools Compressed Textures..it was a Good format for the late 90's early 2000's But for today's newer hardware this would Not even brake a Sweet for most Systems

For more info check out Wiki on CP3 games/Rival Schools or capcom's AR16 boards

[Lord3boOod]

i feel they will release it later in ps3 with a new character

man they shouldn't cancel this game :(

[apatano20]

It was never released

[mao1790]

Was the game released only in Japan?

[Pokechao]

IT HAD BATSU, INGRID, CHARLIE, AND STRIDER HIRYU

WHY CAPCOM, YOU HAVE REASON FOR CANCELLING THIS

[ojideagu]

@Pokechao Because it was shit

[Nontoxic6]

omg why was this canceled?

[TheLourut2]

Man,it would've been cool to see Charlie(Nash) in a CG mod type of game!

If Capcom ever makes another Capcom crossover like Capcom Fighting Jam 2,then let's hope for Charlie to be in it!

[Izanagidonutz]

IT HAD FUCKING AKIRA IN IT. DAMN YOU TO HELL CAPCOM

[deadsuperman200]

0:57 Looks like Batsu found out about Poison's little secret (tranny)

[MultiWtfwtfwtf]

what is better than sfxt??? i think this is...

[linon3000]

Poor Poison. Batsu was putting the beating on her ass.

[mrquestion]

Did anyone notice Ryu doing an Akira move from Virtua Fighter at 0:50 ?

[Izanagidonutz]

@mrquestion I did!

[HexElf]

It would have sucked. Why? Capcom can't do 3D fighters. And they know it. That's why they canceled this game. Even during the beta tests it was already getting a bad rep. But at least one cool character, Ingrid, came out of it.

[SamuraiGhost63]

Now this is only a rumor but I read on Wikipedia that Capcom is thinking of putting this game on PSN again only a RUMOR

[bandkaih]

"BIGINNING" O_O

[boru25]

This game looks like a Playstation 1 game.

[VivaLaWatt]

Ingrid...MY DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK

[abiola100000]

you know why this game was canceled cuz alot of sf fans are scared of the future really why do capcom fans hate 2d fighters i mean i love them 2ds and 3d fighters are both good the only difference is that 2d is annoying on da xbox dpad if it wasnt for all da hate we could have had a banging game

[comedypros]

looks and sounds from the soundtrack a lot like DOA2

[johnwx777]

It looks like pap.Not surpised why it was cancelled.

[AzumangaFan13]

@johnwx777 Oh my god, graphics don't make a game.

[AVEXentSUCKS]

This game was cancelled partly due to poor reaction by fans during the Beta stages. It looks so good to be honest. Much better than CFJ.

[XenovannHellwolf]

Lol, Ryus special is that he punches you in the dick really hard.

[Tud3la]

BIGINNING!

[RikkiTheWerewolf]

....This game looks so awesome, I wish Capcom could revive it. ;_;

[bigbossultimate]

My real quesion is if they've found the beta rom for this?

[Mysterious0Bob]

Hey, I see a lot of Haggar's MVC3 moves, like 0:49.

[AstronAstroll]

@Mysterious0Bob

Haggar had some of these moves previously. The move at 0:49, Violent Axe, was one of his specials in Final Fight 3. He also had it in Final Fight Revenge if I remember right. A lot of his MvC3 stuff came from FF1, FF3, and FFR, and some moves were just made up for MvC3.

[Kamurotetsu]

Looks like Strider Hiryu was too cool for being on another fighting game. :(

[lin2k4]

BIGINNING NOW

[Thecatarattat]

Biginning?

[geo0mega]

Thank goodness Poison is in Sfxtekken.....

[1brianomeara]

...WHY WASNT THIS RELEASED?!?

[soulcalibur22]

@1brianomeara so many issues

[macr0machine]

I guess Batsu hates trannies

[KTP200]

biginning

[cypheraine17]

they were probably not ready for some 3D incarnation of their fighting games since they reverted back to 2D in CFJ.

[litoariel]

i would have gotten it just cuz of BATSU,STRIDER, and HAGGER

[zztopis2]

way i see it.

Ryu,Chun li ,mike haggar from MVC3

Alex and Batsu from TVC

Replace charlie with guile from sf4

strider has to be made

d.d. ,rook,ingrid,akira and poison have to be made

bonus characters would be Edge yamada,C.viper,Sakura

kenji ,mai ling,ibuki,makoto,guy,cody,jur­i,birdie,rolento and karin

[capo8914]

ho men why dont end the game and publish,in really look so much good, like capcom fighting evolution

[killerfist97]

man I hope they get back on this and not make it into the corporate bullshit game that MVC3 turned out to be. This could be a sick game if it was on a handheld console

[islifetreatingyougoo]

This winter never came.......

[Keikuina]

Daaaaamn, why didn't they complete this? D:

[MetallixKnight]

They really should have told those playtesters to go to hell, this looked awesome. =(

[Akumashadow]

and they say Strider is hard to animate in 3D for Marvel vs Capcom 3.....

[althegamefreak]

@Akumashadow And it has to be rethinked again as he is in UMvC3

[neon6]

@Akumashadow i never read that. i read they said that strider doesn't fit in the game then they said they had trouble getting the rights to the character. it's a good thing a lot of downers play their games otherwise capcom would actually have to get good pr

[wastedanimejunkie]

The more I look at this game, the more I'm reminded of KOF Maximum Impact.

[geo0mega]

Man, capcom needs to cit the crap of worrying about poison' s gender n just add her to a future game.

[badjab326]

Look at what Haggar's doing at 0:49 looks like they used his animation from this game for MvC3.

[spikeyguy777]

If Capcom brings revives this game, it should be a very technical fighter think Tekken without the rediculous combos and much more health. Add in counters and such....sounds great.

[ManhwaFan]

This game really reminds me of Maximum Impact. I would not be surprised if the staff went to MI's dev after this game got scrapped.

[sephious159]

i can see why people didnt like at the time

[geo0mega]

Gives us poison capcom....

[geo0mega]

please ono san bring poison back, she is a hot character...

[Denariax]

@geo0mega

He. HE is a hot character.

I hope you're happy.

[KHBAM]

Lol. They spelled "beginning" wrong in the trailer!

[yamihoon]

the only reused char from this game was Ingrid

I WANT TO PLAY WITH D.D. AND ROOK

[Nandonoikarus]

And Capcom gave us Fight Jam over this... That's just wrong...

[FighterAllStarHD]

Wow like Strider had the sickest move on what he was doing to Ryu in that game. I want this game so badly, but now it seems to late to bring it back because i would have been an awesome time to play this in early 2002. Only thing i dont get is that this is in Metro City, i'd expect at leats for Cody or Guy to be in this game, just one of em other than just Hagger. Same with mad Gears guys like Sodom, Rolento, Edi E. ect.

[SpinDoctor91]

man this could have been great! why Capcom why! :(

[Xepher17]

Fucking good music :D

[mikeyn1gm]

dam why did they cancel.......it looks like a very decent game...............the stages nice too and it reminds me a little of bloody roar 3.....but yea dis wud have been a keeper =)

[xXxD3adP00lxXx]

@mikeyn1gm

Cause capcom Displayed the Game and the Fanboys is like "OH NOES 3D ITS BAD"

So we got Capcom fighting Jam

[capnbarfy]

After watching this, here's hoping that Strider, Charlie and Mike Haggar all make their way to MvC3.

[supermonster2086]

@capnbarfy :I hope so when game released next year and Mike Hagger and Strider Hiryu will be in it that make fans very happy.

[frozenray0079]

that Fighting Jam crap did NOT make up for this game's cancellation. at all. nuff said.

[TheGoku1997]

I wish this game would have been released, cause I would have been crushin...

[Rubz69]

beginning is spelt wrong in the trailer lol

[shonuxs]

Haze no Kobushi I think is Ryu's focus attack in SSF4

[AstronAstroll]

@shonuxs

[1Shiru]

dude if they do this for the ps3 or xbox 360, its gonna be awesome!!! with faster moves ofcoarse

[AVnuRadical]

No way... Ryu would have actually had Kaze no Kobushi as a finisher!? Why wasn't this game made!? (it's a rhetorical question)

[tifahentai]

1:30 BIGINNING

[RileyOcelot]

I think now that Fans like 2.5d graphics-this should be the time for Capcom to give this game another try.It had a better roster than SF4.

[ninefangthesniper]

Nash looks Badass

[chrisliam2]

strange how this game has the characters people have been asking for then it gets canned lol ive always wanted to play posion and haggar , ive played them in final fight revenge but this game made them look great

[sensibleMak]

1:29

"Biginning"

wat?

[Artmoho]

@sensibleMak Yes, they found out about this later on so in order to atone for this error they decide to canceled the game XD

[irvrod]

omg bring this back NOW

[johnnycitystar]

It's hard to say how this game would of ended up. I remember Kof Maximum Impact came out and they were hyping that game up like crazy because it was in 3D but it flopped like crazy. I was happy when I heard about this was going to have some Rival School characters but Let's hope capcom brings back some of those characters on Marvel vs Capcom 3.

[Shwa]

@johnnycitystar You know both KOFMI sequels were awesome, right?

Yes, the first one was atrocious and absolute shit, but the sequel? You couldn't tell it was a sequel. Then MIRA came along to make the competitive edge even cooler.

Only problem was Falcoon and his crazy ass art direction.

[johnnycitystar]

@Shwa Bro I have the sequel, That game was awesome! Its a shame that the "Smart Fans" had to fuck up THIS game just cuz they didnt like it doesn't mean other wont like it.

[Shwa]

@johnnycitystar

The reason why this didn't pick up was because Japan wasn't too big on SFEX, and since this game was being dev'd by ARIKA, they all killed it during the loke tests by saying "IT'S JUST SFEX WITH STRIDER AND WALLS" or that the systems were flawed when it took the best parts of EX and Justice Gakuen, and a life system similar to Vampire Savior's.

And from the looks of footage, the game could've been a contender.

Dunno too much about the finishing moves, though.

[amuro0093]

I know why they cancelled this! because of Biginning lol

[JoeMamma23]

they should just add all these characters as DLC to SSF4.

[ChrisBSmith21]

just when i thought i saw ALL the videos for capcom fighting all stars, i ain't seen nothing yet. OMG this video is the best one of all of them. this one really shows of the games potential. i didn't know it had CODE HOLDER at the end. this was gonna be capcoms version of smash brothers. its a shame capcom canceled it and turned (recycled) it into CAPCOM FIGHTING JAM / EVOLUTION (which was OK and bad, but that's another story). so much potential down the drain. DAMN YOU CAPCOM, DAMN YOU!!!!!!!

[ChrisBSmith21]

I WAS IN LOVE WITH THE CHARACTERS FOR THIS GAME, STILL AM........

street fighter I & II = ryu and chun-li

street fighter III & ALPHA = Alex (with coat on) and charlie (a.k.a nash in japan)

rival schools = batsu and akira (with out helmet)

final fight = mike haggar (with 2 costumes) and poison

strider 2 = strider hiryu

and 3 original characters = D.D., ROOK, INGRID (which also made it in CFJ / evo for arcade,ps2, xbox and sfa3max for psp, good for her i guess)

.....more on those 3 later.....

[ChrisBSmith21]

@ChrisBSmith21

the story goes - Death (also a new character, and probably an unplayable boss) was running around Metro City with a bomb called Laughter Sun. Mike Haggar called all the fighters to beat Death and defuse the bomb. To disarm it codes were needed to be input. D.D., Rook, and Ingrid were the Code Holders, they had the codes that would deactivate the bomb. D.D. was the leader, Ingrid & Rook were his teammates. Their codes were Ogre, Fallen Angel and Isis.

[ChrisBSmith21]

@ChrisBSmith21

unique ideas that were gonna be used in the game For the first time that was never used in any Capcom game before or after were:

the break system during the matches - it makes a logical connection between the rounds.

super ultra moves called the "finishing move" - a concept derived from the concept of the "Fatality" in Mortal Kombat.

also a dodge and counter strike system called the "dramatic counter" most of snk's games use this concept, also can be used on throws, i think.

[ChrisBSmith21]

@ChrisBSmith21

i always wondered what F.A.S meant. so far all i got was FIGHTING - ALL - STARS. THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE NEW CHARACTERS. D.D. - "God of Thunder" - Rook - "Fallen Angel" - Ingrid - "Eternal Goddess". new characters have special symbols that appear during their special attacks.

WHY THE GAME WAS CANCELED - Capcom beta-tested the game, but after negative feedback from players and more months in development, the game was canceled in August 2003. DAMN PLAYERS!!

[MasterBigodeForever]

@ChrisBSmith21 Bless players, because without them Capcom would have released this crap.

[ChrisBSmith21]

@MasterBigodeForever hmmmm, maybe so

don't get me wrong, i respect the players (beta testers) they are like judge and jury when it comes to games, being good or bad. but then they released it as capcom fighting jam / evolution and that sir was some big time crap. i would take this game over that one any day and besides, the game was in beta testing, it was incomplete, an unfinished sample like a presentation. I'm sure capcom would have added the finishing touches to this game to shine bright.

[DevilAkuma123]

IDC ABOUT IT!



[BlastoiseBB]

Bigining lol

[RuthIessVillain]

WHY the hell did they cancel this game?! Looked freakin sick!

[sayian23]

Whether it was management issues or slow production, this game could had been a classic lineup that Capcom created. I wish the company should have continue with this game instead of making that dopey Capcom Fighting Jam! If Capcom ever consider bringing this game back into development, they should at least finish what they started!

[DarthEnderX]

@sayian23 Eh, this game is basically TvC/MvC3 without the other company.

I'd be all for Capcom making a Capcom vs. Capcom type game.

[786SalamKhan]

@sayian23 Apparently, the actual reason why they cancelled is because the beta received bad reception.

Now its funny how everyone actually moans at Capcom because they want this game.

[JapaneseTentacleRape]

@786SalamKhan im sure the people that are moaning are people that were unaware of this game until after the cancellation D:

[TubeMaster2008]

They even had Haggar and Poison from the Final Fight series and they would never again see the light of day. They should make a Final Fight remade with HD or a vs. fighting game with Cody, Guy, Rolento, Sodom, Haggar, Poison, Hugo, and Maki.

[WarchiefTuroK]

I Dont understand, Capcom maded good crossover fighting games, but why cannot make one whit his own characters? o_O :badenglishoff:

[wirelessjt]

NIce i never saw this exact video before

[Shwa]

...I totally want Capcom to revive this game.

Seriously, NOW I see more Dramatic Finish moves?

It could've been great, compared to CFJ.

[ninefangthesniper]

@Shwa

uh well Ono said that he is willing to revive this game atleast thats what he said in a recent interview

[brucenatelee]

@Shwa As long as the animators of SF4 does the work, I'd love to see it. Nothing wrong with a 3D fighter with 2D based gameplay. Keep the 2D style normals and stuff, but add sidestepping. Or just make it a 2D fighter like.
