Capcom is adding some bonus characters to the PlayStation 3 version of their Street Fighter X Tekken. One I can get behind, the other I could hide behind.

One is Mega Man, and holy crap. I can understand the reference to the original boxart design, but this looks like the original boxart design after 25 years of drinking beer. This is a shock to say the least.

Now this one I like. Pac-Man isn’t the most obvious choice for a fighting game. How would he fight?

Why, in a giant steel suit, of course. This is a great reference to the classic Captain Commando from the arcades.

The Baby Commando, seen here, fought in a similar suit with similar controls. Between the iconic character (Pac-Man) and the throw back design, I love this choice. Almost enough to ignore their public humiliation of Mega Man.

Almost.
