Frank West, Megaman Zero join Tatsunoko vs Capcom
Capcoms made a web boo-boo and inadvertently revealed who the four new characters in Tatsunoko vs Capcom are going to be in the west.
The internet wins again, with members of forum Shoryuken finding hidden stuff on the Tatsunoko vs Capcom japanese site code, referring to the characters who are yet to be revealed for the Western release of the game.
On the website only a few characters are actually shown, but hidden within the Javascript preload, the following code can be found (we’ve taken a look at the source and it’s still there).

The bolded file names point to Mega Man Zero and Dead Rising protagonist Frank West joining the fight for Capcom and on the Tatsunoko side, there is Joe Asakura (from Gatchaman) and Tekkaman Blade (from Space Knight Tekkaman Blade).
The code is still up on the site , take a look in the BODY tag (unless Capcom get in there and remove it)
