Frank?! Rumor: Tatsunoko Vs Capcom characters leaked?  photo

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?

  • zero.jpg
  • 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?]

Oh man, Frank West. He's covered wars, you know?

(Totally getting a Ran Hibiki vibe from this news.)

Dude Ran Hibiki would have been awesome too. I'll sure as hell take my boy Frank though. Couldn't have asked for better than that. If it's true, I'm happy.

I'm all for the Wii getting great games, but the reasons for Nintendo getting exclusive dibs on this and Muramasa are just beyond me. Is that jealousy that I feel burning through my heart?

I am really interested in what kind of super moves Frank would have.

@MatCD

I would tell it could be similar to Jill Valentine in MvC2. But the Servbot helmet is a must to make epic battles.

I will be a bit disappointed if one of his Supers doesn't include using a lawn mower and mowing down the opponent.

Can I just say, the guy who voiced Frank was awesome and doesn't get enough mention. Please let him record the voice again...even if it's just fighting grunts!

Damn, I wanted to see Megaman X in this game. The guy never appeared on these fighters D:
And they decide to choose Zero. ZERO.

Only thing I'll be sad about is not being able to use X and 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.

This + Muramasa + LostWinds 2 + A Boy and His Blob + Super Mario Galaxy 2 + Metroid: Other M = Some damn good Wii games on the way.

If it is actually Zero from mega man X, that would be amazing!!!

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.

I hope it's Zero as he appeared in the MMZ games. Y'know, the awesome one.

If this is Zero from Megaman X (as opposed to Megaman Zero) then this will be my single most anticipated fighting game character ever. I will preorder this game even though I do not yet own a Wii.

so about 3 characters that are a lot like characters that were in the original release and a journalist that isn't Geraldo Beedog?

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.

Zero(hoping it's MMZ4 version Zero) and Yatterman 02!? My god, if it's true, they do listen :D.

I wonder now who the fifth character is that will replace the one tatsunoko character they removed...

Oh, i reread the article. I see, I have no idea who that character is...but that makes five. Considering he's confirmed also. That's cool.
