Capcom didn't announce a new fighting game, only confirmed one we knew about

tl;dr

Capcom will be announcing a new arcade title at the Japanese fighting game tournament, Super Battle Opera. Many believe the game could be Street Fighter V or Darkstalkers V.

Editor's Note: Capcom ended up not announcing a new game, instead confirming the JoJo's Bizarre adventure is being developed. While this rumor turned out to be a bust, this doesn't mean we can't discuss what fighter Capcom should make next. I vote Capcom Vs. SNK 3, but know that probably won't happen.

In the listings of the Japanese fighting game tournament, Super Battle Opera, it seems Capcom has been listed as the host of an announcement panel to be held during the event. The announcement is supposedly a new arcade fighting title, which is very interesting....

Way back in 08' Capcom released Street Fighter IV in arcades for a limited time. Many fans are speculating the mystery game could be Street Fighter V, Darkstalkers V, Capcom Vs. SNK 3, or even an all new Capcom franchise fighter.

What do think about this? What game would you like to see be announced?

In my humble opinion,

I don't want a new fighting game from Capcom for maybe the next 3-5 years. I fear the market has reached "global saturation"; with many companies (including 3D fighters) jumping into the fray I worry that the bubble will soon burst. Within less than half a decade we've had P4A, SSF4AE:2012, UMVC3, KOF13, SFxT, Skullgirls, 3S, MVC1 + MSH, SCV, Tekken 6, TTT2 from different companies, and I'm sure I've missed some... too many fighters!

I wonder if it is a new crossover game, like Nintendo, SEGA, Namco, etc.

Sega vs Capcom needs to happen. I'll call it now though Sonic will be easy to use like Wolverine, Ethan Thomas from Condemned and Shinobi from... well Shinobi will be heavily used. And the Chao Walker from SA2 will replace Sentinel.

Or maybe it could not be a MvC3 ripoff and have a different roster.

I suppose so. I really like Ultimate, and I think if the Marvel Roster was replaced by SEGA characters it could really work, but they would probably want to try a new engine if they where to that, and I'd be down for that too. I'd still like to hear: "Hyper Omo-chao Force, Destroy!!!" :)
