Sir Ilpalazzo

Yeah, Jedah's goriness is a part of his character. I doubt they'd remove it but include him anyway.

Well, the producer's quote was something like "We couldn't include more Darkstalkers characters than we did because it's not hugely popular overseas, but I wanted to use Talbain". Everyone assumed he meant that there are no more Darkstalkers characters, but the wording is kind of ambiguous.

No, the list was first posted on the 5th. It's not quite a month, but it was still a while before the DLC was revealed. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=24227379&postcount=1331 Of course there still is the possibility that he just had inside information from GameStop.
