Tatsunoko side:

* Gatchaman (Gatchaman series)
* Casshern (Casshan series)
* Tekkaman (Tekkaman: The Space Knight)
* Gan (Yatterman)
* Hurricane Polymar
* Gold Lightan (Golden Warrior Gold Lightan series)

Capcom side:

* Ryu (Street Fighter)
* Chun-Li (Street Fighter II)
* Batsu Ichimonji (Rival Schools)
* Alex (Street Fighter III)
* Morrigan (Darkstalkers)
* Soki (Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams)

This can only be good news for Marvel vs. Capcom 3! With Street Fighter IV coming out in July, it’s nice to see that Capcom is able to pump out another fighting game so close to release. “TvC” is expected to hit the arcades this winter.

The confirmed characters for the Tatsunoko side are Ken Washio from the Gatchaman series and Tetsuya Azuma from the Shinzo Ningen Casshan. The Capcom side has Chun-Li and Ryu from the Street Fighter series. You can see Servbot in the background of some of the screen shots so you can only presume that Tron Bronne, one of her siblings, or Megaman himself will be another playable character!
