They removed all the character themes that Cross Generations of Heroes had. The JP and US versions of Ultimate All-Stars, both have the new music.
Joe the condor is badass as fuck, but I didn't like how teknoman blade controlled, so he was a bit of a let down, I was expecting a second Karas .
The extra char's might be good but I only really liked Karas, batsu, polymar and ryu/morrigan, and now ofcourse Joe the condor.
But the thing is the game had not only all the awesome theme songs, it also had this genius system of switching theme song when a character gets switched during battle.
They took out those 2 things, and I was done with the US release.
Then I got to play a round with Joe the condor...... so yeah he kinda put me back on the fence wether or not to get it. I guess you just have to watch some vids of either versions and then just decide for yourself.
-----------------
Im still undecided whether to buy it or not.
Of course, even if the removed themes are awesome, the fact that I can't play the Japanese version is a big eye-opener for me.
Also, I was dissapointed only one Rival School character made it to the rooster. I wanted either Hinata or Akira. Rival Schools has always been my top fighting game. And I still hate the fact I don't own Project Justice.
Gatchaman fighting Megaman? I'm in!
