The story so far:
There has been few things pointing at these two before. A blurry picture was spotted before at Superbots FB page showing a new stage (later confirmed as the Ape Escape stage) and several blurry characters. There was one particular character that didn't quite match anything we knew before but some people were thinking it might be Kat from Gravity Rush. The picture is still way too blurry to really prove anything.
Later on Superbot was updating the official website of the game and for a few minutes it went online before it was supposed to. The page confirmed earlier leaks about Sackboy and Raiden being part of the roster but something more cryptic was also spotted:
The website had renders of Kazuya and Jin from Tekken and Ryu Hayabusa from NG/DoA. After an uproar about the game having 3 Tekken characters (Heihachi is confirmed playable character) Clockw0rk from Superbot informed that Heihachi and Kuma (part of Heihachis moveset) were the only Tekken characters in the game but he didn't comment on Ryu who didn't have any connections to the game prior to this.
Today our own fellow gaffer TheMink who is second most recognised leaker of this game (he pretty much predicted the characters that were included in the massive Beta leak. Luck or legit source? You decide!) after the much loved Paul Gale decided to fill us in with more info. He finally named 2 planned DLC characters he had been teasing before as Kat and Ryu. It is highly probable that if these are legit they will be revealed at TGS as Superbot has been hinting having more announcements there. While these two were seemingly planned as DLC there are a few things pointing that these could be changed being on-disc due to the massive beta leak and/or game being delayed till november. Kat being in is also supported by Paul Gale informing that there is an unrevealed female character in the roster.
TL;DR: Ryu and Kat could be in the game as DLC or on-disc.
Have at it!
Edit:lol
Edit2:lol somebody stop these leaks?
