REVIEW:
Wow... Really??? I never thought this bloke would cross over to a fighting game... I guess that's why Capcom did it. Dead Rising was no doubt a successful & popular game, so it makes sense. So how did his fighting game debut fare? Well, I haven't used him yet, but from the videos I've seen... This guys a pretty hilarious character. He's definitely comic relief and he definitely has some cool special moves (though some of which are Jill Valentine inspired).

Visually, he's not much to look at... That's kinda part of his design though. He's just the average joe when it comes down to it. He also looks quite a lot like Nico Belic from GTA4 in gameplay. Positive comments aside, of course I'd much rather have seen some other Capcom favorites like Strider Hiryu, Captain Commando, or Jin Saotome in Tatsunoko VS Capcom. Any of those guys would have suited to game so much better.
