so, this popped up in neogaf, supposedly from the gamestop computers:

"hey all - there's a listing for a new marvel vs capcom 3 version in the computers here at gamestop.

ULTIMATE MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 3X - "Expand the ultimate experience. 8 new challengers join the fight!"

there's a listing for july 3 for a dlc voucher @ $14.99 and july 24 for a packaged disc version @ $39.99.

not sure if i can post this, but this is what they're using for the placeholder."

thoughts? 15 bucks for 8 characters seems...cheap for Capcom, and there have been no rumors at all about more UMVC3 characters until this, one would think Lupinko would be all over this as usual. So, fake, real, whos knows. If real, i bet Asura is in it (which would be cool), and hopefully Gene and Megaman (just to shut people up about Megaman finally)

Heh. At least you don't have to pay full price. I was just about to buy Ultimate, but I might be able to hold myself now.

Captivate 2012 is next month i think, i guess we'll know by then if this is real or not. If its real, i really hope they just flat out say what the 8 characters are, no more of this 1 character a month bullshit

One of them should be a Phoenix Wright that doesn't suck.

Completely fake response to the recent Capcom DLC debacle.

Character list confirmed -

• John Vignocchi
• Mr. Domino
• Tommy Tallarico
• Rocco Botte
• Shaquille O'Neal
• Ghandi
• Bruce Springsteen
• Zombie Dan Paladin (in honor of Zombie Liu Kang)

Sounds interesting. Hopefully they balance the current roster with this Update as well.

it fake advertisment Seth Killian confimred it

also the X is from cross tekken logo anyway

Yeah, it's a fake.

I love that Capcom squeezing every last penny out of gamers has gotten to the point where some actually fell for this.

I wish it was real :'(

I kind of do, too, but only if those supposed eight new characters were all female to balance out the all-male additions to UMVC3.

I want this game to happen...now.

Get the Skullgirls guys on it.

Also, as an additional character choice, I want every member of the Wu-Tang Clan to be a morphing character like Shang Tsung.

As is usually the case, the news spread to other sites, including Shoryuken and Capcom-Unity. On the latter, Christian Svensson gave a short, one sentence answer to this new rumor:

Just got back from GDC so I’ll make this short: that is completely fake.

Ryota Niitsuma also chimed in on his personal Twitter, which translates:

The DLC costumes are out, and for now that is all.

UPDATE: Seth Killian also responded to the rumor:

Sorry guys, <3 photoshop, but no UMVC3x coming from Capcom.

fake or not...i want more characters

you know...like CYCLOPS...!!!
