I only see four... Are you counting Shuma Gorath and Jill? Remember that they have to go somewhere as well.

I'm counting them, they're on there, just say's DLC in the corners, not sure if the U.S and U.K sites are the same, but seeing as it started as the U.S version for me I suspect they are...

The next 2 characters have been revealed.
Akuma
Taskmaster
No real surprises (although I did expect Hsien-Ko) but Akuma looks to be MUCH better this time around. I also thought Taskmaster would've been a bit more impressive, but it's all good. Also, it's worth noting that it seems Doom has become a Herald of Galactus and a mid-boss apparently from the Akuma vid. So, can we expect Uroboros Wesker as well? Probably not but it's cool to think about lol

Not to big on Taskmaster like I thought I would be. I know nothing of the character, cept from a wiki read, but found him too cartoony. I was expecting someone more serious and a move list more attuned to mirroring moves. I did see counters though, so that makes me happy. more info is needed. He had a lot of moves, a lot seemed reflective of other characters (wesker magnum, spidey swing, hulks charge, Cap americas shield charge, Zero's normals?) so maybe there is a mimic property and not a preset movelist. I can only hope he's not as static as he appears. HE looks good, just lacking the flavor I wanted I s'pose.
Akuma on the other hand REALLY impressed me. Looks like a much better character and looks completely different than Ryu (for the shoto haters). Love their take on his projectile hypers being multiple hadukens streaming and his shoryuken being a spinning ground attack until the very end. The instant, anti projectile demon is just fucking hot tho. I had no desire to play him...but now I'm considering it. I wouldn't say he's better than Ryu, but definitely looks cooler (2 handed air shinku?!? Say wha?!?). I expect that Akuma life bar will be a harsh reminder with some combos.
i'm hoping for 4 more character reveals, but I'm positive there's at least 2 more.

A recent review states 36 (not including shuma and jill) will be the final count of the roster. It's very likely that leaked list I've been denying is true leaving Sentinal and Lei-Lei to be the final reveals. Little underwhelming for the final capcom side reveal, but Im hype on the Marvel.
For people not too hip with sentinal keep in mind many balances will take place and probably a lot of mechanic changes. ALSO sentinal has evolved through the years, it is likely we may get an entirely new and up to date rendition with different powers. All I really wanna do is fly around like a jack ass and hit people with my boot

Akuma is looking sick with the new wave form hadouken supers. It's like a mix of cyclops and ryu.

Yeah he's got a beam hyper and a multi fireball hyper...it looks like he has 4 different hypers + and air version of two of them. Demon doesnt do much damage for lvl 3, but thats fine since its fast. You're sacrificing a lot of meter for the ability to get free damage in a lot of situations you couldn't punish.
someone's eluded to Taskmaster learning moves. The theory is he engages you, learns the move, and that gives him access to his counters. That's pretty cool. Also his throws where he busts out a gun at the end are epic.

burn for that insolence! But really, Akuma looks sick. That raging demon is fast. Love the visual effects for his supers

I would prefer him over Ryu, but people on the boards are screaming Ryu's a wasted slot and I feel they're very different and Ryu will likely have strengths over Akuma beyond stamina.

Thanks, Akuma... Once again you are introduced in a new fighting and once again you look even more beast then you did in your last iteration...
...too bad you'll either get stuffed at the bottom or the tier list, or put on it's BANNED pedestal.
He looks like an awesome character like usual. He didn't get much play in MVC2 so I hope they improved his rush down game. From the trailer, it seems they have.
Couldn't tell really, but is his dive kick still an overhead? I know Wolverine's got nerfed in that department.
As for Traskmaster, never heard of him. Don't know anything about him. And honestly he's not really impressing me taking everyone's moves and all. *shrugs* Also notice how his sword hand changes. I mean, I understand if it was a handrawn 2-D fighting game, but would have thought since it's a CG 2-D fighter, his sword hand would stay the same.

Ummm, did any of you actually play MvsC2? Akuma has all the exact same hypers and specials he had before. He looks literally copy/pasted from that game besides combo potential and a more useful raging demon. I wasn't happy at all about him making the roster anyway but now he really looks about as boring as he could possibly be. They gave him zero variations of his new Demon Flip options, no double air fireballs, no 3 hit red fireball, no Demon Armaggedon and no version of his secret Super palm strike from 3rd Strike. Nothing new whatsoever. Lame. As. Fuck.
All of Taskmaster's weapons come from Marvel comic characters. Captain America's shield, Black Knight's sword, Hawkeye's bow, Daredevil's club and Spiderman's web shooters. I'm certain that he doesn't have any type of game mechanic for "learning" moves or anything like that. He just has a set movelist same as anyone else.

I'm not liking how most how the characters seem to play the same way. Will wait for the game to actually come out, but it's not looking like too many of the characters actually stand out at this point. At least Jean happens to be one of the ones that do stand out.

Probably because demon armaeddon is one of the crapiest moves invented. I would have liked his kongou kokuretsu as well, but oh well, he still looks brutal as hell.
About Dark phoenix
What does X-Factor do to Dark Phoenix?
Seth: X-Factor affects everyone a little differently, but it doesn't give Phoenix a unique additional buff — she's already terrifying enough. Oddly the existing videos haven't really shown off the best bits of what Dark Phoenix is all about, but we'll correct that soon... :)

Have you been looking at the roster?!? I can't fathom a game with as much diversity in game play flavor per character.

Going to have to agree with you there.
Also I'm betting Akuma has KKZ and they just haven't shown it.
IvyFanboy

Maybe. All I know is Akuma is the first one confirmed with more than 3 hypers...however maybe the beam/multi projectile hypers are the same and maybe use a different button combination to select which one? I was looking at Taskmaster and it seemed his air hyper had a straight and an angled version so maybe there's ways to select variations of hypers liked you can with SSF4 Supers (Ibuki air kunai hyper changes angle based on button)
I'm seein so much potential in this game with gimiks. Wolverine has a mix up dash attack that can go through you and 180. They're sayin it's not too good because it looks unsafe and slow start up, but if you drop an assist at certain points you have an ambiguous cross up, depending on if you or the assist hit first. There's gonna be so much crap like that to figure out. Love how this game has unblockable set ups and stuff like this. It makes sense because of how safe everything is now that you need trickier offensive set ups rather than just pure punish (cable spam w00t!!! O_O).

Sentinal's a great character in concept, especially for a new game like this, not a patch on Sabretooth though lol... I've no idea who Lei-Lei is... Definitely not a patch on Rolento *sigh*, but whatever, we will see, I'm just happy to see that trademark Akuma Firecracker back...

Akuma looks damn good, a friend of mine mains Akuma like no other so I'm" sure he'll be estatic that he is on the game. Holy Kittens I forgot about Sabretooth! I'm" definitely going to be getting this game, I can already picture my boy Rob spamming with Iron Man and Ryu.
