Did Marian's Even Evil Has Standards moment happen in a flashback taking place before the current events of the game? If so, then it could be a case of a villain having redeeming features in the past but lacking those exact same features in the present, thus crossing the line into CM territory. (Technically, the main reason Obito is still qualified is because he was written quite clearly as a villain who by choice would never redeem himself, so the fact that he's redeemed and made a good person again almost immediately after a blatant Redemption Rejection means that the redemption is hollow and forced upon him. Had Naruto not been such a ridiculously over-the-top case of The Messiah, Obito would have never strayed from the path he was on. Had he chosen to turn back to good, he'd be definitely not a CM. As is, "Mind Rape Equals Redemption" has never disqualified examples, such as Mystery Dungeon Darkrai for instance. True redemption has to be a choice.)

Overall I'd say that all these Dead Rising villains are qualifiers. BTW, what about Albert Contiello, who's deemed one on TV Tropes?
