IGN revealed today that the leaked Tatsunoko vs. Capcom character roster update was almost 100% accurate in predicting the characters added to the North American version (and the upcoming Japanese re-release). Joe the Condor (yet another Gatchaman character) and Mega Man X's pal Zero have joined the lineup. Only Yatterman #2 is unaccounted for. This isn't Zero's first appearance in a fighter; he appeared in his Mega Man Zero style in SNK vs. Capcom: SvC Chaosand Onimusha Blade Warriors. This is, however, his first appearance in a good fighting game.
Check out footage of both new characters in action after the break. Rather than being a simple palette swap of Mega Man Volnutt, Zero's attacks use his trademark energy sword. And Joe has a grappling hook/gun combo.
I'll be eternally weeping for phoenix's absence, but it's good news to know the "Zero" they added is the classic one instead of the MMZ characters (which is odd since this game is a nintendo-exclusive)
Thx guys. I have a hori ps3/2 stick, & apparently it worx with wii. Might just stick with that than tear my TE's apart. Love em too much lol. But if the hori needs tinkering, I may crack that 1 open.
