Did the article writer even look at the trailer? Only one person is cursed by the Skull Heart, and the Skull Heart looks like a combination heart-and-skull. It's in the first part of the trailer, before the posters.

@DeXterminator As already mentioned, the upside-down cross is St. Peter's cross, and is also known as the Pope's Cross. It's only offensive if you're ignorant or are offended by Christianity as is.

@Dick Socrates Youngest character with breasts: 16 years old. Not exactly prepubescent

The continuation of the Kid Icarus/Metroid crossover gags?

YES.

I doubt Kilik and Elysium will have an Edge-Master type gimmick when Edge Master is RIGHT FREAKING THERE. Though judging by their auras... I wonder if they're possessed by Soul Edge/Soul Calibur...

As for the "28 out of 30 slots": Count again. 28 slots, 26 characters on the list. The missing are probably Dampierre and Algol. We have our full roster, barring any potential "Bonus characters"

@arrrdawg But even if they delete it, that means they bought it first. This is a clear rip-off of Mario Kart and Nintendo would be entirely justified in suing their pants off.

To other people: THIS IS NOT A PARODY. THIS IS NOT CONCEPT RECYCLING, LIKE OTHER MAJOR CART RACERS. THIS IS OUTRIGHT INTELLECTUAL THEFT AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH.

And to those of you stating "Thanks a lot for giving them publicity, Joystiq"- it's on your conscience if you were told this was the work of thieves and you still bought it afterwards. Don't blame Joystiq for your own contributions to crime.

@Cafecito Edge Master is hinted to be timeless and immortal, like Olcadan and Algol.

Did Ryu REALLY need only buffs?

@Hayam He's part of the original MvC3, so there's no need to announce him for UMvC3.

Did anyone else notice that this trailer was a sneak announcement of DAMPIERRE being in the game?
