Topic deserved a much needed bump.

The game's getting a ton of new features including ONLINE PLAY! And FIVE new characters. Thanks to a flub on Capcom's website we know who they are.

Tatsunoko

Tekkaman Blade aka Teknoman (Officially confirmed, replacing Daimao the Genie because of licensing issues)

Joe the Condor

Yatterman #2


Capcom

Zero (unconfirmed WHICH version they're using)

I'm actually watching Tekkaman Blade in anticipation, I definitely see what the fuss over him's about, very cool series to watch.
