Reading that list, if it's true, I'm slightly dissapointed. Especially on the Capcom side of things.
I hate playing as all 3 of the SF characters they included, although I understand they're the most iconic ones in the series. That said, I already own SSF4, so I could play them anytime I like.
The Megaman characters are probably just straight rips from TvC, which I also own.
Never cared for Resident Evil or it's characters.
Dante is going to be the Ken of this game, and does anyone actually like Trish? Even Vergil or Nero would've been better.
Feel free to rip on me for this, but these 2 Darkstalkers characters seem to be in all crossover games. Today, Darkstalkers isn't exactly the most relevant fighting series and their spots could be better filled with more fan favourites.
If Joe is Viewtiful, then I expect another TvC rip, and he was a pretty bad character in that game. If they gave him better moves though, I may want to play as him at some point.
Frank and Chuck... Dead Rising? I dunno, they'll be sort of good joke characters I guess. That said, I would've liked to see Phoenix Wright included instead of him even in TvC.
If Mike is Mike Haggar, then that's pretty awesome. I hate playing as grapplers but know a lot of people like him.
Finally, Arthur, I assume for the Ghosts n' Goblins (Ghouls?) series. Not sure how most others feel on him, but he gets a pretty big meh from me.
If that list really is true, looks like I'll be using Deadpool, Spiderman, and Viewtiful Joe or Felicia
