Capcom showed nothing at Jump Festival. Niitsuma said they'd show some "new material" but there wasn't really much coverage of the event. I checked out his blog post to see that he updated it by showing the voice actors for the Japanese version of the Capcom side. I'm going to assume this was the "new material" he brought up on stage. In addition, Capcom started a contest on their facebook page to guess what the next characters to be revealed will be, and the exact date they'll be revealed. I wonder if that means they're implying it'll be someone nobody will see coming, because they're not on the currently believed "leak" lists.
Right, the other links were completely unbelievable to me, and I wrote many long posts explaining why they were flawed when people were still believing them. iplaywinner leak had no reason whatsoever for anyone to believe in it. It was just a random post made by someone on the forums that was deleted. I could make a believable leak on their forums as well, and it'd get deleted. It wouldn't be deleed because "Capcom told iplauwinner to bring it down", it'd get deleted because it's a crappy topic that should get removed.
And the friend you were talking about was the one that announced he was lying, correct? I saw a link to his twitter but didn't even bother giving it a look. Most of the people on the forums I went to didn't bother giving the link any attention either, and said people were just going along with the heat of the recent fiasco. Leaks are always false to me unless they start proving otherwise. By proving otherwise, I don't man making safe guesses and having those come true, because everyone seems to make a big deal about that kind of stuff ("OH MY GOD, WESKER IS IN JUST LIKE THE LEAK SAID! IT MUST BE TRUE!").
Lupinko's done a pretty nice job at giving out little details about characters that would be proven true, much like how Kensk gave little details about Hakan and Juri (their names, and how one fights with oil) for SSFIV. Of course nobody believed him at first, but when the new Street Fighters entered the ring, they realized that he knew information he shouldn't have known.
I'll give Lupinko some more time before fully believing him. If it was just picking out what characters would be DLC, then I'd pass it off as a very lucky guess, but seeing as he's made 2 or 3 lucky guesses about small details come true, I'm inclined to at least keep an eye at it. That /twitter guy from before was fake, but it was still nice to read, kinda like fanfiction

- "Rough Draft Leak": The earliest leak, it has survived simply because it has guessed everyone on the Capcom side correct, except the last few reveals such as C. Viper. It has plenty wrong on the Marvel side, however, and its believers have since dubbed it the Rough Draft Leak for this reason.
- iPlayWinner Leak: A very dubious leak that appeared two days after NYCC, notable for being the first leak that I know of that gave specific reveal schedules as well as reasons as to why certain characters were absent from the game. Unfortunately for the guy who made this up, the reasons he provided were instrumental in driving a number of believers away from this leak - telling everyone to vent your frustrations towards Keiji Inafune for the lack of Sengoku Basara and Ominusha characters implies a personal agenda rather than an actual leak, because it is extremely doubtful that a detail like this, if the detail is even valid in the first place, would reach far enough to be leaked. Well, that and November rolled by without weekly reveals like this leak said it would.
- Lunpiko Leak: This guy guessed Shuma-Gorath and Jill being DLC right before they were revealed. Currently the most believed leak out of them all, but also the most contested due to the lack of any Mega Man incarnation and Frank West (which, to some, adds to its believability). Because it is the latest and most believed leak, many other leaks such as the recent Twitter leaker have more or less regurgitated his info, adding their own spin such as reveal schedules, and gathered up a large crowd of followers. I personally know one person who ran an experiment that just concluded a few hours ago, making a Twitter account to see how many people would believe him - and he successfully proved one thing: The MvC3 community has reached a point where many will believe leaks without any hesitation.
