Barry Burton to appear in US's version of Tatsunoko vs Capcom?

[Jill's Boob]

I just remembered that I read somewhere a long while back that Capcom actually wanted to include Leon in TvC since his popularity had been so high after the success of RE4. I think it was an official statement from one of the producers, but it may have only been fan speculation that I misinterpreted. But it seems very likely that he'd have been a candidate for the Capcom roster.

If they had already been planning him, not to mention having his VA (the dude, Paul Haddad or whatever his name is) recently in house to record lines for REDC, Leon is far more likely to be in the Western version of TvC than some scrub like Barry. (And as much as I hate Leon, I'd rather see Barry.)

Though it is possible that Wesker will be the RE character included, since DC Douglass has admitted to recording lines for REDC (and Capcom could have easily gotten him to say 2 more lines, or however - if any - lines are spouted by TvC combatants). And if Wesker is appearing in REDC, then Chris (Roger Craig Smith) most likely will appear as well so maybe he'll be the one penciled into TvC.

Hence my logic for those 3 being the primary candidates for TvC.

Seth's "beard" comment was directly linked to what the other post joked about, but perhaps Seth's comment on "biohazard" was a hint of sorts toward the origin of the character he sampled. But even that is reaching, much like automatically assuming that since he used the words "beard" and "biohazard" in the same sentence that Barry Burton was a new character.

*Wesker would be the coolest possible inclusion, as he is far more sinisterly charismatic (better taunts) and his physicality would be more suited to a fighting game. He's the RE version of Akuma, I guess.

I'm sorry. I don't wanna sound like a noob or anything...but is this a fighting game?

Yeah, it was a Cross over/team fighting game between Capcom characters and Anime characters from Tatsunoko, it was Japanese only but somehow Capcom managed to pull off a western release *which I had thought impossible due to most of Tatsunoko's animes when US distributed having different publishers.*

It's way more likely that they'd want to put Chris in the game over Barry i'd have thought. Although...if it was Barry, perhaps they're getting a little bit more exposure out of Barry before Darkside Chronicles or Portable come out, just to remind people Barry's still in their thoughts?

Chris was in RE5, but this is a Wii game, and with RE4 Wii being the top RE game on the system, not to mention the upcoming release of REDC, the most likely RE character to get put into TvC (if they do add an RE character, that is) would be Leon. *gags on bile*

All i read was "I was banned and i'm gonna be even more bitter than usual" hahaha

I wasn't banned. I just haven't logged into this site in awhile. (I'm always "bitter" though, thanks.) I just saw this topic, went and looked at the source of the info, happened to see all the messages in the thread where Sven issued his statement, and saw that his "beard" comment stemmed from nothing more than a joke about his own beard. It's not like solving the theory of relativity...it took a simple mouse click to realize that people were jumping to conclusions over absolutely nothing.

Maybe the new character Sven sampled truly is Barry Burton. But thinking about it logically, it's 99% likely that it's not him at all.

But who knows...Servbot is a character in a fighting game after all.

That beard stuff has actually nothing to do with the identity of one of the new characters, like Jill's Boob said. However, the use of the word biohazard seems to be completely irrelevant with the rest of the thread so I assume it is indeed a clue. It could be anyone RE-related, so my vote goes for Jill in STARS outfit until further notice.

THIS.
I'm not saying this character might be Jill, but we don't know anything.
And the beard thing they mentioned might not be the answer of this either.

No one's admitting anything, they're making guesses.

Oh, and if you can suggest some female Capcom characters with beards, that would be helpful.

[Jill Lover]

How you all jump to the conclusion that the character is actually male?
Chris Redfield has a beard too. It's ridiciculous to admit something that we really don't know for sure. But Barry in a fighting game? Yes, in our weirdest dreams.

[Stu]

God damn that stasis tube and it's effects!

[nemesiswontdie]

It will probably be Jill, since they just have to rip her move list from Marvel VS Capcom 2. You know very well how lazy these bastards can be, don't you ? :p

Hilarious. You folks do realize that Seth's response was aimed at post #8, where a message boarder said:

"Seth, you better get them to add Dante and Necro, or I will have to come there and shave your beard."

Mentioning a beard (ironically, his own) and the word "biohazard" in the same breath, and you all jump to the conclusion that the largely unappealing RE character of Barry Burton would be included in a fighting themed game?

Leon S(tupid) Kennedy or Chris Redfield or Albert Wesker would be the most ideal candidates if a RE character were to be included in TvC, not a pot-bellied geezer from years ago.

[The Dude]

I'd have guessed Chris Redfield or Chief Mendez *being somewhat iconic from RE4*.

Hope its Barry though.

[Jill's Boob]

No, I sincerely doubt that Barry Burton would be included in TvC. If Capcom wants to push the game from the store shelves, then they're going to want to include some new characters that appeal to the general masses (for the most part) to negate the fact that they're also putting in the Tatsunoko properties that are largely unknown to the market outside of Nippon.

Barry can't even get himself mentioned in new RE games, so why on Earth would Capcom all the sudden just throw him into a fighting game?

I'll give the (misguided IMO) Barry fanbase one thing - they sure are rabid for the character.

You're back!

I don't really think Barry will be included in a fighting game... man.. don't you all think it would be a little bit... weird? it also sounds terrible...

Anyway, I bet it's rebecca's return (?!!)
