Note the nails in the shoulder, the hood, and the red gloves/bandages.

Edit: I have no idea what paragraph 3 means:
Mainly because I have no idea what ‘full volume’ is supposed to mean in that context. I THINK he means that they’ll get the last few characters revealed this month tho’
Looks like Thor has a special taunt. [media=youtube]gfwoLXEk9QI[/media]

Joystiq says North American shoppers can get a Shuma Gorath t-shirt for pre-ordering the collector’s edition. I wonder if Suparnovax or Quick Man saw this when they pre-ordered their game yesterday? Too bad they aren’t the European shirts.

According to Eurogamer: "Akuma and Taskmaster are locked at the beginning of the game. To unlock them, players need to earn Player Points. Akuma unlocks at 2000 PP, Taskmaster 8000 PP.
2000 PP is roughly equivalent to a single playthrough of Arcade Mode. You also earn them by playing multiplayer, doing character challenges and spending time in training mode. Capcom estimates most players will have unlocked all the secret characters within a couple of hours, regardless of skill level."
Same article states:
“Two more characters are to be revealed.”
