Crikey, Capcom wasn't pulling any punches with this trailer. The amount of character reveals here is bordering on goofy, and I'm loving it. Lather my body in hot goofs, Capcom! Make it rain with steaming goofs!
First we have the full reveals of Law, Paul, Xiaoyu (Tekken), Juri, Vega and Balrog (Street Fighter). Then we have the partially obscured images near the end of the trailer. It's hard to say for sure, but my powers of deduction (and those of Eventhubs) have determined that we've most likely got Akuma, M. Bison (Street Fighter), Jin, and Ogre (Tekken) revealed amid that final strobe of images.
That's not all, though! The craziest reveal of the video comes at the very end, during a highlight of the PS Vita version of the game. That's where we get a look at two mysterious silhouettes. One looks like Pac-Man, and the other looks like a guy in a Mega Man suit. That could mean a new weird "realistic" Mega Man redesign, Frank West dressed as Mega Man, Bad Art Mega Man, a crazed, ready-to-punch-Seth-Killian-in-the-face-because-he-single-handedly-killed-Mega-Man cosplayer dressed as Mega Man, or any number of other things.
I hope that it's a new character named "Mr. Neato" who looks exactly like Mega Man but is not the real Mega Man because he is in reality called "Mr. Neato."

Awesome. Kinda wish we'd get more variety in characters rather than the same classic/popular SF2 characters over and over but thats just the way it works I guess, Hugo and Posion is pretty nice though!
And damn, pac-man in the vita version? SICK
Wasn't planning on picking up the vita version unless it offered something different from the console port but that might be all it takes to reel me in lol
@OverlordZombie: You realize that making a joke about a complete version of a capcom game is the same as making an arrow to the knee joke right? Retarded.
@Rammstein: In Fact, I wasn't making a joke, I'm gonna buy the game when the revision is ready. The game looks awesome as fuck, but I'm not gonna fall in the same trap for it again. I used to buy brand new fighting games, but then I took a capcom to the wallet.

Pac-Man's super should somehow incorporate shooting a power pellet with a slingshot (and/or a tree in the background with a bee hive)... DO ITTTTTT... nobody remembers that awesome SNES game :'(
I can't wait for this game. But I might just do wait for the complete edition. Also, anyone know if I'll be able to sport my dream team of Dhalsim+King?

I can't possibly wait for the complete version. Thick is a dream of mine. Only way it could better is if MK was thrown in. At least I'm letting Capcom fuck me this time though. Who remembers that promise that they weren't gonna release multiple versions of sf4 back when it was almost released. Filthy liars.
Pac-Man is going to be in a Mokujin mecha the way Tron Bonne is in one in the Marvel series.
Bad-Box Art Megaman is definitely the silhouette shown.
@Football Religion: Keep your hopes up, we just may see Elena AND Christie. Same goes for Gouki and the human version of Ogre from Tekken 3.
Don't get me wrong i'm super happy to see Rolento come back and glad that one of my mains, Vega, is returning but i'm finding it really hard to get amped about this game.
Perhaps it's because i'm a little streetfightered out at the moment, or perhaps because the game looks a little too crazy for me (i.e. learning curves). I was never very good at the vs games.

The one character I was just dying to see make it in.

Anyway, I'm gonna wait 10 months after release to get the Ultimate SFxT Turbo 2013 edition
also, when are we gonna hear some news about TxSF? Namco's Ryu looked so generic...
And there was a piece of info revealed about TxSF just today: http://shoryuken.com/2012/01/17/harada-says-there-will-be-character-customization-in-tekken-x-street-fighter/
Also, I'm pretty sure Bison was announced a few weeks ago(?)!
Harada is still in the 'blueprint stages' and is fielding which characters they want to put in.
On a tangent. Holy crap did I love Tekken on the PSP! I would give on of my arms to relive that experience. (I would play via ESP)
Boom,obligatory MegaMan cancellation comment complete.
Your welc
I wasn't really planning on buying this since I'm not that crazy about fighting games...but if Mega Man is in it, I won't be able to say no.
