Here is the DEFINITE tentative roster right now. These are the characters who absolutely probably WILL be in the game.
Here are a few notes about the roster:
1. It may will expand further. The sides aren't even now, but they will be. The size of the roster will be directly proportional to how much help I get with other areas of the game, such as screenpack/music/art, etc.
2. Feel free to leave comments and criticisms, and suggestions if you wish, as this will be the official roster thread. However, the list below is unlikely to change (aside from expansion) unless something drastic happens.
3. Keep in mind the rules I stated in the CvTW Idea Engineering thread: Characters that require new sprites will only be made if it's a character I really want to work on, because it takes a ton of time and patience to sprite.
*NEW* 4. Due to recent developments and a desire to not drive myself crazy with all of this coding, I have found it necessary to shave a few characters off the roster. The characters who have been removed but are still possibilities after the main roster is done will be listed in a Spoiler below the roster. I have also changed the final boss of the game, and will not be revealing who it is until the game is out.
(Bolded characters are finished, save for AI, Italicized characters are changed or new additions, Underline means the character still needs sprites by me)

Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
1. Strider Hiryu
2. Gambit (The poll he was in was won by Koopa Troopa, 2nd place was a tie between Gambit and Kain, so I dropped him in favor of a villain on the roster, Dr. Doom)
3. Genocyde (no offense to Diepod, but I don't have sprites for her yet anyway, so I might as well wait)
4. Bluestreak (same as above, when Diepod finishes the sprites and the character is released, I may add him back in)
5. Paul/Asuka, will most likely be "DLC"
6. Frank West, I know this one seems bad since he's a poll winner, but I don't know when Balmsold will finish his sprites and I don't want to hold the game up. He WILL be in the game eventually though.
There are more "The World" characters because there were two "????" on the Capcom side that I removed.
