Not in the main story.

Tron is in the hooussse!

Well I was right Reiji and Xiaomu are in. This means that Saya will show up as they are not complete with out her.

Do you think she'll be one of the solo assist characters?

No. Saya will be a bonus character with no story connection unlocked after Sonic is.

Nah guessing a villain and reacuring boss she always been one in all of her appearences. Maybe an playable or assist character after a few fights

Also in wake of the characters I wanted in this game over anyone getting the game the Nx C Mains other theme.

Everyone I could ever want to see is in the game now except for Aschen, Vyse and Aika.

This game seems to get better and better. I especially liked the reveal of Cyber Peacock's stage. I wonder if there'll be more X series stages, and who - if anyone - will be the boss of them*

I can only hope that it somehow gets localised for a Western release. Flanker needs Megaman fix (no matter how small) badly.

Sigma would be the boss if anyone maybe a few of his commanders as well.

Vile, eh? The plot thinnens thickens.

@Envyus:

Ah, I wouldn't be surprised if Sigma pokes his ugly mug into things (and, presumably, tries to enforce a Hijacked by Ganon moment during X/Zero's scenario). I'm kind of disappointed Axl hasn't showed up anywhere, even if he gets in the way.

Still no Sonic? Or Power Rangers Samurai?

Why power rangers samurai?

Sonic will probably be a bonus character if he's in at all.

Cool beans @ individual themes. I was thinking they weren't going to do that for some odd reason.

ALL MY MONEY. ALL OF IT.

Famitsu scans.

Leon is once again a suplexing badass.

I also see Seth and Juri, Batsu, Jedah, Alisa, and Heihachi.

If this game doesn't get translated, I'll be sad forever. :'(

I don't see any Leon.

Then who's the guy in the top-middle upside-down?

We've got Batsu Ichimonji from Rival Schools, Alisa Bosconovitch from Tekken, Vashyron from Resonance of Fate, and Neneko and Neito from Yumeria as allies.

There's Nemesis from Resident Evil, Jedah from Darkstalkers, Juri and Seth from Street Fighter IV, Riemsianne la Vaes from Shining Force EXA, Fujieda Ayame from Sakura Taisen, Heihachi Mishima from Tekken, Skeith from .hack, Vajra from God Eater, and Phantom from Endless Frontier as enemy characters

That's Vashyron from Resonance of Fate.

Wow. Thanks. Do you by any chance know the name of the game's vocalized main theme played towards the end of the most recent trailer?

@Beary Scary, I doubt the game will get translated, as much as I want it to. For one, you know Namco Bandai's track record for releasing games overseas especially handheld games (See:Tales Escort titles). Some of the Original Generation games did get localized, but most recently that was through Atlus. Endless Frontier successfully made it to this side of the pond, but Atlus must have been disappointed with sales or something, because its sequel didn't get localized. Namco X Capcom didn't get localized either.

Also keep in mind that the game isn't a fighting game like most of the other Capcom Vs Whatever s are. It's a JRPG, and a Strategy RPG at that. Not many people (except its target audience, which as a niche game would be very small In America) would recognize the characters, making most of the cast (except for Street Fighter and Resident Evil characters) Marth Debuted in "Smash Bros." popularity wise.

While the 3DS' target audience is allegedly young adult males, if I remember correctly, most teenagers and young adults wouldn't play a 3DS (unless they're hipsters or just happen to like games like this) because it's for kids. Chances are if they are playing portable games, it's on their iProduct or cell phone. This leaves children and adults, along with what remains of the intended target audience. Children wouldn't likely be picking up an SRPG like this, and young/adults who are most likely to be interested in such a game would definitely play it, but it's just that people like us are significantly less in number than in the east.

It simply wouldn't be economically practical, as much as it pains me to say it, to release such a game in the west. It's not achieving Xenoblade levels of popularity either, so I can't see it as an exclusive to a certain store or Nintendo's website. I do think that its best shot would be the eShop as a download title, like the planned Unchain Blades release. It would require less economic risk and would hit its target audience and everyone would be satisfied.

Still holding out for Vyse.

Still no Phoenix Wright.

You can always hope for a localization....

I think he'd fit into the game pretty well actually. There's still about a month to go until the game's release, and as of this writing new characters are still being revealed even if they are likely bosses or mooks. The chances of him being in the game aren't nil, so don't give up hope.
