Man, Capcom used to be cool. They may not have been the best

Some of their old commercials kicked ass.

The ones for the Playstation X games put out by Ruliweb got me hyped to play them:

X5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahTFOrIbLXI
X6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHUfod8rHaw

By the time I saw the one for X2 I'd already played the shit out of it and loved it, but it still kicked ass: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tU9Jl-TPsQ8

I used to see gifs from that commercial all the time back in the early 2000s fan sites.

Never saw the one for X3 though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rr3aUwvbw_o

Why did Japan hoard all the decent commercials?

They put out some great non-SF fighters and characters that sadly never caught on.

I had a lot of fun with this one. I don't understand why that one magazine from 1995 slammed the game for not being "Capcom" enough.

I won't say I'd love to see Capcom bring it back with the state of the company as it is, but I'd consider it a gem.

The Breath of Fire definitely weren't better than the FF SNES library, but they were more colorful and pretty cozy in their own right.

Breath of Fire III's a great culmination of that colorful quality. IV toned it down and leaned more on the Asian culture and mysticism, and then V made everything dark and dull. Both good games in their own right, but they probably serve as good hallmarks of the times and where Capcom was headed.

I hope mechs become cool again. They could do so much with what they've got.

On a related note, I'd love to see Xenogears and it's Gear designs resurface somehow. They're supposed to be in that upcoming Figureheads TPS coming out sometime, but I haven't seen a single promo image of them or anything like that. Just a trailer with Flight playing in the background.

This game was just fucking tight. Why did it never catch on? Too much story, not enough depth?

>Can we have a comfy Capcom thread

Doesn't seem so, but here's a comfy track from BoFII to fit the theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnrSqGaXmuc

Even if they don't, any one of these pilots could be a combatant in a Capcom fighter.

Here's hoping for TvC2

I'll bet you didn't know Akuma was in this fighter too.

This was similar to Final Fight in that it started out as a little known beat-em-up called Armored Warriors. Same way Captain Commando started.

By the way, anyone ever notice how Inafune/the people working on Mega Man games borrowed heavily from Captain Commando? The ground pound move is clearly the inspiration for Zero's ground pound, and so is Baby Head the inspiration for Bon Bonne in the Legends game.

People really don't want to talk about Capcom unless it's SFV or MVCI apparently.

I've pretty much been samefagging this entire thread, no joke. Gave it a shot at least.
