Capcom has released a new set of videos showing gameplay of two more confirmed characters for Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Phoenix Wright and Nova. In one video, the characters are fighting against a background that is obviously made to resemble the “imperfect” future shown in many X-Men comics, where Sentinels are hunting mutants.

I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, yeah we already knew about those characters, kinda cool background, big deal. But here’s the thing, people. In this video, Capcom may have inadvertedly shown its hand. Check out this section of the screenshot:
 

This poster from the background doesn’t show many mutants; in fact, it seems to be displaying only characters that were in previous Marvel vs. Capcom games, but not MvC3. The thing to notice is that every single face on the poster (you’ll have to watch the video to confirm some of the ones that aren’t visible in this screenshot) is marked as “Slain” or “Apprehended” EXCEPT… Mega Man.

What could this mean?? I’m going to go out on a journalistic limb here and suggest that it implies Mega Man is the only ex-character still “alive”, and therefore has a chance of COMING BACK. Could Capcom be tipping their hand to the fact that Mega Man will be returning to Marvel vs. Capcom in the form of DLC? Only time will tell, but I can’t think of any other reason why he would be the SOLE survivor on that poster.
Check out the vid for yourself after the break.
