Oh goodness. Back to basics I guess:
here are hints (not all roster related):
1) clockw0rk
Strider. Obvious clue 1/2.
2) indeed, getting hype
Phoenix Wright. Obvious clue 2/2.
3) bill cosby
Megaman fans just took a massive sigh of relief, I also feel GameFAQs detectives' pain. This can go so many directions I don't know where.
4) wolverine not getting sick
We were close on a deconfirm of Cable. This was apparently a deconfirm if MasterChibi is still a reputable source. So was this actually a deconfirm of Bishop or Gill because those were the only other two noted on the page where MasterChibi said someone was right on SRK?
5) 12 donuts
We were 'close' with the game being a year out, or the game being released in December. So if we were close with that, logically this is a reference to a 2012 release.
The hockey and 4kids pokemon dub hints were only supposed to lead to Niitsuma eating the donuts. We did it in the reverse, and concluded that Eddie Brock (Venom) was in, so we were wrong on that.
BGM1215 is tagged in the Niitsuma video, and presumably the BGM playing in the background, is this possibly related?
What is on Niitsuma's shirt?
Or is something about Niitsuma saying Merry Christmas and a Happy New year related to the release schedule?
6) something red
The red tweets:
"sup bitches, all i got 2 say is dat dis is one reddest motherfucker, gaddaymn
non-parental advisory version: someone very red"
Relates to some sort of GAF-meme.
Also lupinko noted that a (or multiple) tweet yesterday night stood out like nothing else and was related to this. Was it possibly one of these?
"Though you'll be bitter like beer for kids.
Oh hai guys

7) car engine
The car tweets:
"trying to see if something old fits in the car engine, wonder how that would work out
personally for this kind of matter, going old skool may sound interesting but could be pulled off wrong"
We were close with it not being roster related, and close with Megacrash. Perhaps this is a mechanic or element from a previous MvC3 game making it in?
Also, lupinko noted that: "actually while i'm being honest here, the car analogy was an unrelated hint to the something very red"
p.s. thanks for making that wrap up irrelevant again Lupinko. But it's near impossible to make me anti-hype for UMvC3, sorry.
This is what I look like when MvC3 news comes around.
