Phoenix and Mike Haggar confirmed for MvC3, Lupinko leaks proven true!

This isn't even posted on Shoryuken yet. Mike Haggar and Phoenix were confirmed today for Marvel vs. Capcom 3. That's interesting and all; but Haggar was already known beforehand and Phoenix was someone many people wanted in. The most interesting part about the reveals is that it proves Lupinko's leaked information to indeed be true.

 

If you look at the video for Phoenix, you'll see she does indeed turn into Dark Phoenix when her team goes down while she has a full 5 bars of special. This is the final nail in the coffin. There's no way Lupinko could make so many lucky guesses correctly. He's told us about this specific mechanic about Phoenix, about C.Viper having her EX and Focus moves (and the combination to execute them), specifically stated Shuma and Jill will be DLC, and a few other bits of information. In other words, he does have his source, and he was indeed leaking real information. This means the characters left to be unrevealed are Akuma, Taskmaster, Sentinel, and Hsien-ko.

Dunno how many of you read my previous Marvel vs Capcom post, but Hsien-ko is my favorite Darkstalker character, and I'm very excited that her inclusion has pretty much been confirmed along with Phoenix. I'm checking up on how Neogaf is reacting to Lupinko's final piece needed to prove his information is real, I may edit this post if there are any interesting tidbits in the thread.
