Haven't seen Lars/Adon (Ladon, calling it), yet but hope to while there's still time.
This IS surprising, yet isn't. 12 is the new bar Capcom set that I hope every other company, and Capcom from this point, limbo under instead. I'd be less mad if for the PS3 verison, either 5 or all 12 of those characters switch places with the cats/Cole/BBMM/PM. The 12 be playable immedately, and the extras are actually extras. Saves me money.
