I know, I'm probably one of the few still paying attention, but the final(?) downloadable characters have been released, for free, on XBL and PSN.

The list includes 3 brand-new people:

• Unknown (reskinned Jun/final boss)
• Dr. Bosconovitch (doddering old man, fun to troll people with)
• Violet (reskinned Lee)

Also, the 4 that were originally pre-order only.

• Angel (reskinned Devil Jin)
• Kunimitsu (ninja girl, only showed up in the last Tekken Tag)
• Ancient Ogre (not-monster version from Tekken 3/Tag)
• Michelle Chang (Julia/Jaycee's mom/palette swap)

Note: the reskinned characters have a handful of different moves but I can't see them making a giant difference right now.

So yeah, if you still have this game, they're out there right now. Go get 'em. Yeehaw.

Is it a patch or an actual download?

Sweet. They're DLC strategy has been so cool for fans.

Awesome althougth I feel strangely compelled to point out that Kunimitsu was Tekken 2 as well. :P

@JZ: Seems to be a patch. I just waited for a bit and suddenly got a "New Characters Unlocked!" prompt after the title screen.

YAY! New unlocked dlc characters, now just gotta wait till this game is under $20 bucks!

This comment makes me wish I could hate you to death for some reason.

And yet, I can't blame you.

I somehow read "Final FANTASY 7 dlc characters" for tekken tag tournament. Was weirded out and fascinated at the same time.

If it makes you feel any better just got a $20 voucher coupon off the ps network and heavily contemplating if I should use it now and get it for around $30 bucks or wait till Cyber Monday and see if I can get it at a cheaper price.

For what it's worth, in the Wii U Edition, all of those characters except Unknown are available in the game by default. Unknown requires beating arcade mode to unlock.
