Initially starring [[Science Ninja Team Gatchaman|Ken the Eagle, Jun the Swan]], ''[[Neo-Human Casshern]]'', [[Tekkaman]], [[Yatterman]]-1 and his [[Stripperiffic]] nemesis Doronjo, Hurricane Polymar, [[Karas]] and Gold Lightan in the Tatsunoko side; (plus Hakushon Daimaou and Ippatsuman in the Wii version) and [[Street Fighter|Ryu, Chun-Li, Alex]], [[Rival Schools|Batsu]], [[Darkstalkers|Morrigan]], [[Onimusha|Soki]], [[Mega Man Legends|Mega Man Volnutt]], [[Mega Man (video game)|Roll]] (with a completely different moveset from her ''Marvel'' self) and the PTX-40A [[Humongous Mecha|Vital Suit]] from ''[[Lost Planet]]'' representing Capcom (plus Saki, from ''Quiz Nanairo Dreams'', and [[Viewtiful Joe]] in the Wii version, and the [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Okami]]'' as the game's boss in both the Arcade and Wii versions, for bonus fanservice), the game marks a return to the series' roots of frenetic two-on-two tag-team action - but with 3D graphics (though the game still plays on a 2D plane) and the combos ramped up ''big time''. New mechanics introduced include the Mega Crash, which is akin to ''[[Guilty Gear]]'''s Burst (although the term itself originated from Capcom's ''Pocket Fighter'', the mechanics and cost are essentially the same) and Baroque, which allows you to sacrifice your red life to cancel your current attack and gain a proportional, temporary power boost. The story is even more non-existent and laid out to you by the anime intro sequence (provided by Tatsunoko, of course): The characters all live in a TV show and and only exist to (surprise, surprise) beat the stinking crap out of each other.

** In ''Cross Generations of Heroes'', the Tatsunoko characters have their shows' theme song as [[Department of Redundancy Department|their theme song]], except for Karas, whose OVA/film has no such thing to speak of so he instead gets the [[Crowning Music of Awesome]] that blares during the first scene of it. The way Capcom worked over those songs actually makes some of them counting as [[Crowning Music of Awesome]] and/or [[Ear Worm]] as well.

** There's also "Across the Border", which has two different arrangements for ''Cross Generations of Heroes'' and ''Ultimate All Stars''.

** Ryu himself seems to think of Frank as this.

* [[Beam Me Up, Scotty]]: For some odd reason, a lot of people think that Daigo Temple is named after amazing ''[[Street Fighter]]'' player Daigo. Kinda shows a lot of people don't play ''[[Onimusha]]'', which based it from the [[wikipedia:Daigo Temple|real temple]].

** The pilot of PTX-40A is {{spoiler|invited to the Super Robot Tournament by [[Cyberbots: Full Metal Madness|Santana]]}} in his ending. {{spoiler|1=The cameos of the robots include [[Tech Romancer|G-Kaiser]], [[Cyberbots: Full Metal Madness|Blodia]], and [[Captain Commando|Baby Head/Hoover]]. In ''UAS'', they added [[Mega Man X|Zero and Vile]] in the mix too! And [[Dead Rising|Frank]] is in the bleachers taking photos}}.

** {{spoiler|[[Star Gladiator|Hayato]] (who previously was a playable character in ''Marvel vs. Capcom 2'') saves}} Tekkaman Blade in his ending in ''UAS''.

** If you play ''Ultimate All Shooters'' mini-game, some of the stages (referred as Blocks) have Akrids [[Street Fighter|sporting black color/gi with a Ten symbol on their backs and move in a manner similar to the Ashura Warp...]]

** In Yatterman-2's ending, {{spoiler|Doronjo and her two henchmen get reinforcements in the form their [[Expy|expies]] from the other ''[[Time Bokan]]'' series}}.

** {{spoiler|Fellow characters from the first [[Dead Rising]] game, Brad and Jessica,}} chat with Frank in his ending. The ending also seems to imply that {{spoiler|in the ''Tatsunoko vs. Capcom'' universe, this game's story happens before the original Dead Rising game.}}

* [[Combination Attack]]: Double and Triple Supers.

* [[Combo Breaker]]: The Megacrash.

* [[Comeback Mechanic]]: The more damage a character has taken, the more damage that character will do when they activate Baroque.

* [[Flawless Victory]]:

{{quote|'''''PERFECT!'''''}}

* [[Funny Background Event]]: Some stages have odd things happening in the background.

** In the background of the [[Tekkaman Blade|Orbital Ring Systems Cargo Bay]], over the course of the battle, human soldiers are battling giant aliens. It doesn't seem to be going too well.

'''PTX-40A pilot''': ''Never thought I'd meet a person that could throw Ivan here. I don't know whether I should laugh or cry...'' }}

* [[Practical Taunt]]: Polimar can charge up his attack power by taunting. This is represented by three Polimar emblems on the bottom of the screen; one lights up each time he taunts.

* [[Reunion Show]]: Or rather, reunion game for the Tatsunoko VAs. Come on, nearly all of the actors on the Tatsunoko side are the original cast! Heck, with Hakushon Daimaou (who voiced Dr. Nambu), Ken the Eagle and Jun the Swan (all of them in ''Cross Generation of Heroes'', the genie gets replaced by Joe The Condor in ''Ultimate All-Stars''), you pretty much have a ''Gatchaman'' reunion of sorts!

* [[Rickroll]]: Referenced in the training stage rap song in the Japanese version. "I keeps it real, son! Not the type to Rick Roll ya."
