Don't everybody go crazy. This is still in fetal rumor form at the moment, but a post on the Shoryuken.com forums has pointed out that Capcom's Japanese character site for Tatsunoko Vs Capcom may have the game's entire roster listed in its source code.
We checked, and at the time this post was written, it's there. The page shows only a few character images, but a Javascript function in the HTML code lists button images for the rest of the confirmed cast, as well as a few extras. One of them being Tatsunoko's Tekkaman Blade, which the character site itself is already showing as confirmed. The other ones?

- frank.jpg
- yatter02.jpg
- joe.jpg
Allegedly, Mega Man Zero, Yatterman #2, Joe Asakura from Gatchaman, and Frank West from Dead Rising.
Again, nobody from Capcom has said a word on this, so it's still just speculation at this point. But the names are right there, alongside "morigan.jpg" and "veutifu.jpg," so it's not entirely unlikely that this is exactly what we'll be hearing when Capcom finally announces the new characters officially. There also exists the possibility that they've put these there on purpose just to throw everyone off, so do keep that in mind as well.
That said, I would just like to state for the record, F*CK YEAH FRANK WEST.
[UPDATE: Looks like the filenames in question have now been removed. Suspicious much?]

IT IS A TRIUMPHANT DAY FOR JOURNALISM!!
(Totally getting a Ran Hibiki vibe from this news.)
I would tell it could be similar to Jill Valentine in MvC2. But the Servbot helmet is a must to make epic battles.
NO ONE
*sold*
Do want. Nao.
And they decide to choose Zero. ZERO.
:/
I really liked the inclusion of Frank West, but the one I'm most psyched about is Joe Asakura. FInally a REALLY cool, somewhat canon and reasonable team-up. I miss me my Ken for shoto team-ups. I know two similar characters is hardly a balanced team, but either way, I liked it.
but it is still to bad that there arn't that many new fighters, I would exspect them to go all out and get a cast of at least 50.
Mathematical LAW!
I guess......BUT FUCKING ZERO?!??!?! Give me Mega Man X classic Zero!
Now I care. Bring me more info!
Oh God Disembowl.
OH GOD.
I hate to say it, but if this is true (probably is as well) I'm kinda disappointed. then again, since it doesn't have Phoenix Wright in there I'm disappointed by anything.
I wonder now who the fifth character is that will replace the one tatsunoko character they removed...
Time to get this game, onto other formats too.
Joe Asakura...even better. Ninja with a gun FTW. Ferealz.
I love the JAP ver so this is a Day 1 Buy for me!!! >XD
