An interesting column by GameZone.com's Brian Rowe that talks about some of the fighting match-ups that will likely never happen, but might just be a lot of fun to watch.

GameZone.com writes: "The 1990’s will forever be known as the era that gave rise to the fighting genre, but as the surviving veterans remember, the revolution was far from a peaceful one. Beyond the welcoming glow of neon signs, the cavernous arcades were tense with territorial boundaries and fierce allegiances. Only the most foolish proprietors dared to place Street Fighter side-by-side with Mortal Kombat, or Virtua Fighter within the grasp of Tekken.

"Marvel vs. Capcom was not the first fighter to enlist an ensemble cast, but its power to unite disparate loyalists under the same banner of fan-fueled mayhem cannot be ignored. Since then, 12 years have passed and Capcom is returning to reclaim its crown with the release of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars. To celebrate, we’re looking at the greatest fighting mash-ups that never were, and regrettably, never will be."
