An awesome fighting game for the Nintendo GameCube. Somewhat similar to CosmicBreak but a very different game at the same time. You assemble a team of Borgs (groups of borgs are called Forces) and fight other borgs in arenas. The amount of borgs you can put in a force is dependent on your GF Energy. As you win battles, your GF Energy grows allowing you to put higher cost borgs in your Forces. But screw the story, I'm going to get down to the important shit. There are many 20 different tribes of borgs and 204 playable borgs (every borg you encounter is playable except for the final boss). The tribes are:
Spoiler:
Ninja Borgs: Agile, low-cost borgs who rely on their dodging prowess to survive. They have low HP.
Gun Borgs: Borgs who specialize in gunplay. Some have melee attacks but their guns are far superior.
Knight Borgs: Armored borgs who specialize in close combat. Some have shields which block attacks if they come in contact with the shield.
Girl Borgs: Female borgs who move quickly around the field and specialize in long range combat. They have decent melee attacks as well.
Machine Borgs: The most varied tribe in the game. Think of mecha and you got these guys.They make up most of the borgs in the game and have some borgs that can transform, and some that can combine.
Dragon Borgs: Huge ass borgs, with a chunk of HP. A force to be reckoned with. What they lack in speed, they make up for in HP and power.
Musha Borgs: Another close combat tribe. These samurais have decent speed and pack some interesting attacks, such as the Chrono Samurai being able to stop time for a short while.
Knucle Borgs: Borgs that get up in your grill and introduce you to their fists. These guys mainly engage in fist fights, but they have ranged attacks as well. Their abilities are interesting. Such as Jelly Diver forming a bubble around him that slows anyone who gets inside it.
Wizard Borgs: A support tribe capable of combat. Having a Wizard borgs on your side can change the tide of battle. Shield Witch can place a shield in front of the enemy which blocks any attack until the shield is broken. Their names end in Witch for some reason.
Nurse Borgs: A tribe that exists only to support. They carry huge needles which can heal teammates, and enemies! It's best to avoid combat since their weapons are mediocre.
Idol Borg: The smallest tribe since their's only one borg in it. Pop Honey plays like a Nurse Borg, but her song doesn't heal. It causes enemies to spin rapidly in confusion, effectively incapacitating them temporarily.
Bug Borgs: Strange borgs wielding a variety of attacks which subdue enemies. Some of them emit corrosive gas, some shoot sticky string which also damages. They use their mandibles in close combat.
Demon Borgs: Borgs whose play style is like other borgs, but with added abilities. Akuma Samurai fights like a Musha Borg, but his two swords grow each time you hit an enemy!
Hero Borgs: Superhero borgs. This tribe features a mix of long range and short range oriented borgs. They also have superhero-like abilities. Gold Hero can activate his Gold Set Up which powers him up. Allowing him to move quicker, jump higher, and gives him a new move pool. Planet Hero can grow large, Star Hero can shrink.
Wing Borgs: These guys can stay in air longer than other borgs. Most of them resemble birdmen. Each borg has great melee and ranged attacking.
Angel Borgs: Similar to Wing Borgs, this tribe features a mix of combat and support borgs. Although they're named Angel Borgs, every Angel borg's name ends in Valkrie.
Tank Borgs: Tanks, beam tanks, an ICBM launching tank. This tribe features tough attackers. Some tanks boast cannons that fire large shells, some are packed with gatling guns. These borgs are slow on the field, which is why distance is an important factor. They have the best anti-air capabilites. They can be ridden on by other borgs.
Air Borgs: My favorite tribe. This tribe has borgs based off aircraft. Always flying, these guys wreak havoc to guys on the ground. A nightmare to strictly melee bots. Flying Saucer's Devastation Laser is the prime choice for taking down Fortress Borgs. Get a Tank borg on top of one of them for a truly dynamic duo.
Fortress Borgs: Dragon Borgs 2.0. These borgs are gigantic airships packed to the brim with weapons. They have the highest amount of HP out of any borg. Most of them are immobile, with a few exceptions. Antares is a flying aircraft carrier, so he launches small aircraft called Alpha Wings to fight for him. These borgs can be ridden on. They are best for destroying Tank borgs.
Death Borgs: Galactic Emperor's creations. They rip off fighting styles off various tribes. They are very fragile, but strong in numbers. Because of their very low cost, they're great for filling up empty spots in a Force.
The ultimate transformer.
Death Head and Cyber Dragon combine to form the motherfucking Cyber Death Dragon.
Don't know how this video flew over my head. Machine Red and Machine Blue combine to form Cyber Machine Seiryu.
Capcom should've advertised this game a lot more.

gamecubes are like, 24 USD now. Cori should get one, if only to play a few classics that Cori missed.

I played Gotcha Force religiously for three years, and I still play it at least once every six months. It's one of the greatest games of all time, and one of my personal favorites (being beaten only by Spectral Souls, Tactics Ogre, and Final Fantasy Tactics). I am sad that you did not post a video of Cyber Machine Suzaku, perhaps the strongest borg in the game. It was because of Gotcha Force that I got into this game, and also the reason why one of my friends got into it, as well.
Still hoping that Capcom will make a Gotcha Force 2 for the 3DS, and that it will have online battle support.

I was looking for a video featuring any one of the Cyber Machines to show what fusion is like, but since there weren't any videos of them I had to settle for the Cyber Death Dragon. OP edited.

I should see if I can find the video of sapphirecat fighting the dragons with only a basic Girl Borg.

It's not Street Fighter, therefore it will not happen.
