Natsu instead of Taki. You assholes.
Taki was already in Namco X Capcom, at least.
Jill, Erica, and Natsu (and teaser Xiaomu) are the only females shown in this first trailer everyone else is a dude. Guess they're holding out on the other kind of fanservice for future trailers lol.
I hope they keep Valkyrie around for some nice old school presence.
What would really be neat by now would be teaming her up with Arthur, since they were both in NxC as solo units, and in PXZ as support - they're veterans by now!
More cross-company teams would be nice - maybe that's planned, and a reasonf or the limited reveals so far?...
As for more female characters... I'd love to see Jane from Fighting Vipers and Blaze from Streets of Rage, although nowadays Bayonetta is likely to get more attention on the Sega side of things. Selvaria Bles as a playable would make sense, since she's in at least 2 games of her series, and they already have the animations, not to mention she's in that one anime fighting game where Akira is a boss.
From Capcom, I'm betting some SF and Darkstalkers presence is likely, but as for other sources of female characters... the protagonist from Remember Me might work well with the .hack digital factor...
Mostly unrelated, but Kage being in makes a lot of sense, especially considering Dural was in the original PXZ - then again, that was V-Dural, which is apparently more based on Vanessa from the later VF... it would be pretty cool to include her.
As for the more raunchy fanservice, I wouldn't miss it - I'm more about the references to obscure canon and tying series together in interesting ways... I wonder if all those ninjas will have a story arc of their own, much like the zombie-related guys had some stages that fit them nicely in PXZ1...
What are the chances of Konami or Square-enix to jump into action? Zero?
In this one, pretty much - then again, this started with Namco X Capcom... who knows what the future holds if these games keep selling. (I want SNK in, personally).
