I installed the game from updates-testing and noticed that the game seems to use copyrighted assets - it features characters from franchises such as Street Fighter, Marvel comics, and Dragon Ball. While I'm not 100% certain if the assets themselves are copyrighted - it's possible they are not ripped from other games, but rather fan-made spritesheets - I'm pretty sure that the use of the characters themselves constitutes as infringement. As such, I think the package should be pulled before it causes us any legal troubles.

Agreed. I'm on it.
