REVIEW:
Wow... I didn't think this bloke would cross over to a fighting game. Dead Rising was no doubt an immensely successful & popular game, so it's understandable that they put him in Tatsunoko VS Capcom; although, in my opinion he just doesn't seem to "fit in" very well. He's definitely a comic relief character for the game... his fighting style is reminiscent of Jill Valentine's in the way he uses zombies, but much more goofy. Overall, Jill's fighting style was done much better (and she looked way cooler). :/

Visually, he's not much to look at... He's just the average joe when it comes down to it. He kinda even resembles Nico Belic from GTA4 in gameplay.  In all honesty, he kinda bores me. Other Capcom favorites like Strider Hiryu, Captain Commando, or Jin Saotome would have fit in soooo much better with the Tatsunoko VS Capcom roster. Ohh, and his voice is also incredibly annoying. On average, he says "Ohh my gosh" about 10 times a match.... Lame.
