Tatsunoko Side:

– Condor no Joe
– Yattaman #2
– Shurato
– Soul Taker
– Nakahara Komugi
– Daikyojin
– Beruku Katsue
– Tekkaman Evil
– Braiking Boss

Capcom Side:

– Leon
– Nash (Charlie)
– Date Masamune
– Arthur
– Ibuki
– Vega (M. Bison)
– ReiRei
– Zero Gouki
– Tiara Hime
– Nero
– June
– Rouge
– Tyrant
– Hinata

These characters were all considered to be included in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom at one point, but were cut due to copyright issues, translating characters into the game, preferences, and to keep balance. On a different note, the producer of the game has mentioned that he would be interested to work on a sequel. However, he also wants the first game to sell more than it has.
