Urgh, I missed the Zero convos...Well, I'll do a little of both.
Yes, I loved the Legends/Dash series (Trigger is a nice surprise), but Zero is far more preferable. If Tron got one (poorly received) game of her own, Zero got 4. I'm not doubting her popularity, but I am saying that Zero had more popularity/game appearances by MvC2 to be there instead of her. Plus, so many wasted spots were there, like Servbot and Roll. Ugh, clones...
As far as Zero's popularity, it's simple. If your looking for Story depth in MMX, you've found your problem. Save for X8, practically no X game had a somewhat coherent story. Now, I LOVE the X series, but I'm not gonna pretend it has something it doesn't. Mega Man games, except for Legends, typically have no stories. So for characters, it comes down to likability. Sword- cool, Long Hair- cool, Bad Ass attitude- cool, Boob Jewels-...questionable. I mean, X usually seems so plain, and the whole "I don't want to hurt you!" thing is played out by other stories too much. Zero, on the other hand, kills whoever he needs to, but isn't cocky, nonchalant, or emotionless about it (Yes, I'm referencing an overused archetype). There's where it is for me. Also, I agree on the whole Zero series thing as well, though Zero seems to have a bit of flat affect in those games, but I'll blame that on system limitations.
Eh hrm. As for TvC (or whatever the abbreviation will be), I'm still excited about it. The sprites are very stylized and fluid looking. If online is implemented, I'm sure it will be a blast...(that was pathetically shorter, sorry).
