Huh? Capcom's use has exactly nothing to do with fair use: "the doctrine that brief excerpts of copyright material may, under certain circumstances, be quoted verbatim for purposes such as criticism, news reporting, teaching, and research, without the need for permission from or payment to the copyright holder".
I think what you mean is that Capcom may have believed they had the right to use the images.
As always, the simplest explanation is the most likely: Artist + Deadline = Nobody's gonna know anyway because I like flipped and transformed them.
