There are at least two hidden characters on the selection screen for Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3. How do I unlock them?

This is the PS-Vita version if it matters.

Do you have Jill Valentine or Shuma-Gorath? I know they were available for the original Marvel Vs Capcom 3 as DLC, and they are definitely still downloadable in the Ultimate Version. You'd have to drop some cash in order to get them though.

Edit:

Also: Fully unlocked character select screen

Note Jill Valentine in the upper left and Shuma-Gorath in the upper right.

A. Still's answer above is pretty much right on the money, but I will confirm that they are indeed available on the Ultimate edition for a small sum of cash, of course. In my opinion, Jill Valentine is actually a very useful character (along with Wesker... kick ass :P) once you grow used to her controls. I have not tried Shuma-Gorath as of yet, but I might the next time I head over to my friend's place. Go ahead and accept A. Still's answer, would ya? :P – Linkus2323 Apr 15 '12 at 14:19
@linkus2323 I'm not interested in DLC characters, but ones that come with the base game that are hidden as unlockables. Galactus is one of them, I want to know whats the other one – spartacus Apr 19 '12 at 17:13
@yx Added an image showing what appears to be a fully unlocked character select screen – A. Still Apr 19 '12 at 19:24
thanks for the screenshot, that helps a lot. I'll award the bounty once it lets me (in a day) – spartacus Apr 19 '12 at 21:52
Sure. I'd have added it from the beginning if I'd thought to look for it. – A. Still Apr 20 '12 at 21:19

The only unlockable character I can find any details for is "Galactus" (from Marvel's universe). You unlock him by earning 30,000 Player Points (or XP) and pressing:

  • L1 + SELECT + X (for PS3/Vita) or
  • LB + BACK + A (for X-Box)

on the character select screen.

The other unlockables I think must be those from Marvel vs Capcom 3 vanilla (the version I have). These are:

  • Akuma - Get 2000 PP
  • Hsien-Ko - 6000 PP
  • Sentinel- 4000 PP
  • Taskmaster - 8000 PP

I'm playing on the Vita, and I see two locked character slots on the character selection menu, one in the top right and one in the top left, so one for each side. However, I already have Akuma, Sentinel, etc. Not sure if I have Hsien-Ko I should go check later. – spartacus Apr 13 '12 at 18:46
