To start a netplay match, go Tools --> "Start Netplay"
If hosting, choose Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars (STKE08), and click Host
Next to room name, there is a code, pass this code to whoever you are fighting and they can join
Alternatively, before you click the game name, there's a checkmark for "Show in Server Browser"; when this is enabled, any player who is browsing the netplay browser (Under Tools --> "Browse NetPlay Sessions") can hop in and join the game as well.
On first start, Dolphin may compile shaders; this is a one-time thing whenever you change graphics settings. You should not have to go through this again unless you're toying with your graphics settings.
If you notice your controls are wrong, you have to stop the game; controls cannot be changed mid-session while online.
At this point, enjoy the game! Why not look at the rest of the wiki and see what character looks cool? If looking for matches, check the Discord.

What are all the options on the main menu?

The main menu has had an upgrade since CGoH. This is the new main menu in UAS:

• Arcade Mode
• Versus Mode
• Survival Mode
• Time Attack Mode
• Training Mode
• Play Data Mode
• Options Mode
• Shop Mode
• Gallery Mode
• Extra Game - This is unlocked when you beat Arcade Mode and collect the yellow letters to make out the message "Thank You For Playing" during the credits. You can collect these yellow letters with either Doronjo and her crew (on a bike--they jump) or with Roll (she flies on the screen with her broom). In order to use Roll in the credits, beat Arcade Mode with Roll.
• Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Mode - You MUST be connected to the internet in order to play people online. You can either connect with a router (you can find that online; this is the recommended option) or with Wi-Fi wireless (not recommended).

This is in order. When you hit the Start button at the title screen, you are highlighting Arcade Mode.

What is the in-game shop for?

Similar to Marvel vs Capcom 2, the more times you play Arcade Mode, Extra Game Mode, Survival Mode, or Time Attack Mode, the more points you earn. In Shop Mode, you can buy artwork, colors three and four for all the characters (NOTE: you must beat Arcade Mode in order to get the additional colors; for example, if you want Ryu's 3rd and 4th colors, beat Arcade Mode with Ryu and a message should appear - once you get the message, the colors for Ryu should be available for purchase), movies, and information about the roster and the stages.

How do I unlock the hidden characters in this game?

There are five Hidden Characters. They are:

• Capcom Side:
  • Frank West
  • Zero
• Tatsunoko Side:
  • Joe the Condor
  • Tekkaman Blade
  • Yatterman-2

Here is how to unlock them:

• Capcom Side:
  • Beat Arcade Mode with three different Capcom characters to unlock Frank West.
  • Beat Arcade Mode with six different Capcom characters to unlock Zero.

• Tatsunoko Side:
  • Beat Arcade Mode with three different Tatsunoko characters to unlock Tekkaman Blade.
  • Beat Arcade Mode with six different Tatsunoko characters to unlock Joe the Condor.
  • Beat Arcade Mode with Tekkaman Blade, Zero, Joe the Condor, and Frank West to unlock Yatterman-2.

If you want to unlock them quickly then:

Right-click on TvC in the Dolphin menu > Properties > Gecko Codes > Add New Code; Name: Unlock Extra Characters; Paste this code:

043EBA84 FFFFFFFF 
043EBA88 F9FFFBFF 
043EBA8C BFFFFFFE 
043EBA90 FFFFFFFF 
043EBA94 FFBFDFFF 

Then make sure the Gecko Code is actually checkmarked.

Alternatively, download a full save file and import the save.

Are giants banned?

• In the early 2010s, the giants were soft-banned, which was a case-by-case basis, but as of right now giants have no bans against them.

• This has lead to the "Phampy Clause", which allows a character change under these two specific scenarios:

1. If Player A has already chosen their characters before Player B and Player B chooses a giant, then Player A gets the opportunity to re-select their characters.
2. As well, if Player A and B play a match using non-giants and player A loses their match and goes to character select and chooses a giant, then Player B is allowed to change their team.

Are any stages banned?

• If playing on original Wii Hardware it's highly recommended to stay on Training Stage and at the very least avoid Burning Wasteland/Orbital Cargo Bay
• On Dolphin all stages are acceptable, but Burning Wasteland is soft-banned as it causes issues with players who suffer from color blindness as some characters and effects blend into the background. There is also some discrepancy depending on the user's own CPU hardware that may cause players to request to stay on Training Stage to maintain 60FPS, but this is a case-by-case basis.
