As Tatsunoko Vs Capcom loyalists have no doubt heard, Tekkaman Blade is our newest addition to the TvC: Ultimate All-Stars lineup. 

For anyone not familiar with the Tekkaman world, he's basically a space knight here to save the planet.  If you're a player worried that "Blade" might just be a palette swap of the original Tekkaman, set your mind at ease, because he's totally different. 

In addition to all 100% brand-new art, his playstyle is also night and day different.  The original Tekkaman is a bit of a brute, a bit slower, but hits HARD.  Tekkaman Blade on the other hand, is full of dirty tricks, constantly ending up behind you somehow, and with one of the craziest dashes in fighting history (it's a bit like Morrigan's dash, only, um... moreso).  

Gamespot has the scoop on Tekkaman Blade, including more screens, so head over there for some more juicy details, and in case you were wondering... yes, it is time to get hype.
