That's it? Brawl had 35 or 39, depending on how you count it.

Kinda disappointing, actually. I was hoping for much more than that.

No Cloud or Squall is especially disappointing.

There is still the possibility for characters to be DLC tho.

I'm sure more will be unlockable.

Evil Cole is a separate character? Why? Is this a fire vs. ice sorta thing?

And with that dies my interest in this game, sad too as the beta/demo had me so interested.

I wonder if Evil Cole MacGrath will play differently from regular Cole MacGrath? That's a nice list, btw?

No Final Fantasy?

Like someone said before, there's still the chance for DLC but where's the fun in that?  I actually thought that was a nice list.

Now that I think about it the absence of certain characters does seem alittle wierd.  There are a few franchises missing that probably should have been included.

I remember them saying there will be downloadable characters as well.
