Not to defend Capcom, but they're referring to the feature updates as just that, updates. It's not misleading, it's them putting in stuff that was missing from the game. Also yeah, your last paragraph is a given.

It was in this video, capcom uk rep refers to the update as a FREE DLC PACKAGE

That Capcom UK video did call the update a 'free DLC package', though

Has there been a F2P model for fighting games that hasn't been garbage yet

I know they wanted a nice bump in their end of year reports but I wonder how much better the game would've been received if Capcom released it in March or at least went with a digital only Feb early access release.

They really should've gone for a Tekken/SoulCalibur style character customisation system to maximise F2P cash. People love hats and pretty dresses and would probably pay for it.

Well, it is free downloadable content. I don't think they're trying to pass it as a magnanimous gift or using it as a marketing strategy. That's the free costumes and Alex trial.

Was KI that bad, I heard most people were pretty satisfied with it, at least for a first attempt in the fighting game genre.

I'm telling you, crates or randomized card things with random bullshit inside of them is like the crack cocaine of gaming. Give us some random skinner box thing for grinding matches and you'll have people playing insane hours while also simultaneously hating themselves. Its win win win

I'm not gonna lie, going 3-3 in Arena sucks but I feel a bit better when I get to open my courtesy pack.

Also I pick mains based on their pretty dresses so there.

srsly who wants to play this lamer?
Are the 8-player lobbies like Skullgirls and Xrd (good) or are they like the lobbies in USF4 (poo poo).

Because I really don't want them making lobbies where you have 6 people watching and waiting, while only 2 people actually do anything. It's lovely when you have full lobbies in Xrd and everyone just crowds around one cab.

I don't know for sure but in the video they put out today it sounds very much like the latter.

I want a new stage without having to buy the season pass for it. I mean like, how will that even play online? Will people who don't own it still end up fighting on the new stage online if someone else owns it? Will it be purchasable on the store with MY FIGHT MONEEEEEY? I need answers Capcom.

I'm expecting you can fight on it but can't select it. Isn't that how the Kazuki estate worked when they were testing the unlock thing during the betas? I know it did that for me.

What's the chances this stage is just a variation of the existing ones? Like Kanzuki Estate during the day or something.

I guess the way to make the most money from DLC stages would be remakes of classic stages or something but I guess that would take a lot of effort

Alternatively allow people to pay to disable training room both online and in tournaments somehow

Yes, just like almost every single video game these days, are you ok? Why would you expect free characters?

Also I was hoping for the daily challenge thing they mentioned some time ago, but since they didn't say anything about it, its probably still months away.

Switched to Cammy, dropped from 2k->1k rank points, put some work in and grinded back to 1800 and started feelin' comfy and good about occasionally puttin' the hurt down. Dumb matchmaker wasn't giving me any decent fights, just a bunch of 800 bronzers. Switched back to Bison for a change of pace today, muscle memory practically disappeared and all my buttons/combos went to poo poo, and it decides to give me a bunch of 2300-2900 silver players in a row. Fk stupid fking fighting games eeerrgggh!

Haven't played anything really competitive since I was younger and had bullshit jobs, and man it's a wake-up. I wanna play the Free Bird solo but skip practicing scales! Every time I lose I know I should just hop in training and/or do some FT5 or FT10 lounges but I just rage mash ranked instead. Gotta chill my rear end out and buckle down on the lab and lounges. - A dude gettin mad at vidja games
