*Strider, Phoenix Wright, Asura, Apocalypse, Frank West and Jubilee are all pretty much confirmed. That's 6 chars... 4 Capcom and 2 Marvel. At the very least 2 more Marvel characters are going to be in this for the "even" rule.
*I wrote off Vergil until I saw the Tony Jay hint. Virgil and twins immediately caught my attention. He's a possibility although it's still a stretch.
*Either one of Ghost Rider or Mephisto are likely. Since they both share a universe, the hints are sort of in the same realm. The fact that Lupinko mentions Ghost Rider after saying he won't give any freebies... I am going with Mephisto. "the greatest trick the devil ever pulled" sounds like Mephisto.
*There's going to be a Spider Man villain in this. Dr Octopus and Venom are likely candidates and they are both hinted at. Dr Octopus probably has a stronger case because he is already in the MVC3 disc and Marvel doesn't really like old skool Venom that much to want him in the game. He is however the #1 most wanted character for MVC3.
*I am actually not that convinced on Gambit but the hints are there if you really wanna reach. There is some Canadian reference which I don't what the reference is to but I am guessing it's Gambit's actor. Gambit isn't actually Canadian though.
*Cable/Bishop... a lot of hints have been thrown here even going as far as to deconfirm a character. I want Cable in but I think Capcom wants Bishop (even though they will end up playing same). One of them is in the game.
*Hardac, robot chick, Blade Runner... all of these are related. Roll is a possibility but I don't want her especially not without Megaman. Megaman is one of Capcom's biggest mascot, no way they will exclude him. If robot chick wasn't there, I would've locked in Megaman (some form). PN03 too but obscure.
*Rival School character... possible but I don't know. Seems really obscure but I would dig this. Obscure isn't really out of Capcom's territory at this point.
*Elektra/Daredevil... the line about the blind man and the stage in MVC3. Elektra was also rumored a while ago. Don't know but it's up in the air.
