Why can't we just unlock costumes through skillful or normal play of the game ='[

I have the MS points, just would rather spend them on a game or something. But if you wanna buy costumes, more power to ya.

I think you misunderstood. You can't unlock them because then Capcom couldn't sell them. I was not insinuating that you have no money - pretty sure you wouldn't be on the internet if $4 was a life or death situation.
I wouldn't pay for this stuff either.

I see Guile becomes Charlie, they need to add him in as a DLC character and a few others

I went up against an alternate costumed Sakura today. It was the one sans gi. I lolled because of how early in the day it was; obviously somebody had been waiting a while to play as Sakura in skimpies.

Or they could make where if you don't have the pack and someone is playing an alt you just see the default.
So when these DLC costumes finish that's it for costume DLC? Because the way they are doing it here it won't be possible to add more. Like you said they'd have to "divide online players between which combinations of DLC packs they've downloaded."

They won't have to divide players, they'd do it like every other game does. Release a patch/update for everyone, that contains the new content. If you pay to unlock, you get to use the content. If you don't pay, you still get to see other people use it. Burnout Paradise does this, Little Big Planet, etc.

Who says you would've already had it if it weren't for DLC?
Chances are they made it specifically to be DLC, and wouldn't have ever spent the time to make it in the first place (or ever put it on the disk in the first place) without the knowledge that they would eventually be charging money for it.

Seriously man. So gross to make us pay up for assets we technically already bought.

Selling the alt outfits sucks, but I'm still gonna buy the babe pack and the karate pack. If they were smart they would set it up so that CPU controlled characters would randomly appear wearing these DLC outfits and then I would have more incentive to buy ALL of them. As it is, it only makes sense to buy costumes of the characters you play as. So that's what I'm gonna do.

rip-off @its best, its so sad that kind of all companies keep on milking their fans with shit that should be in the game at the first place ...thats just moral abuse...

Geez, 1/3 of the whole game's cost just by getting some new costumes? Like Dr. Scientist said, if only most of this DLC in this game and other games could be obtained by beating the game and unlocking them rather than draining our wallets. Sigh............... its the future. : (

Some of these other outfits are just...tasteless. hahahaha.

I would maybe consider getting these packs, if I didn't suck balls at this game. No sense in getting my ass kicked in different costumes. On the 2 million sold post I asked for help, and even offered to pay. After searching extensively on the internet for guides and strategies, and trying to implement them, I realize for me there is no hope. I enjoy the game, but think I'm going to trade it in anyway. I lost 19 games to 2 against some guy that really wasn't that good.
I'm typically good at games, but I feel like I'm missing something here.

It's a whole lot of practice. I'd say that I'm an average player, and I win a lot and lose a lot.
Just keep at it! If you'd like, we can play some fights together to build up our skills. If you're on PS3, I'm jorojoserojas.

Yeah, my reservations too...I suck big hairy balls on this game. So don't feel that you're the only person. My other buddy says the same thing.

What the hell?!
Okay, correct me if I'm wrong, here, but beat-'em-ups are the lowest form of games in the sense that you've got to program 10-20 tiny levels, tune up 10-20 characters each with around 10 animation cycles, balance them a little, and release. I'm not saying it's easy, I'm saying a project like this compared to, oh, I dunno, Resident Evil 5 or FEAR 2 or Killzone 2 or Fallout 3 or something is a piece of freakin' cake, I'm just curious what took them so goddamn long. Beat 'em ups have no scopes. What's there to do after you finish your 30-something models and 20-something arenas, balance punches and fireballs for a year and a half?
So I could get it for $60 (games are pricey over here, and SF is expensive!), as you'd pay for any other game, for vast projects that involve hundreds of models and massive environments that are full to the brim with detail. I like beat-em-ups, but they usually lack the bang for buck... except now you have to pay $20 extra for the whole thing.
One whole beat-'em-up for the low low price of $80, gee whiz.
Soul Calibur 4 had a normal price tag, more modes, better graphics, was cheaper and was far more accessible to new comers. And a character creator.
WTH.

Hey, the Mortal Kombat games (MK vs DC nonwithstanding) pack more value into their games (completely different modes, character creators, fun/goofy stuff like Kart Racing and Tetris) but it's the franchise that sells. Throwing out personal preference/quality (I love both MK games and Street Fighter games...and Soul Calibur as well), they know that people will pony up for the first new SF game in 10 years, so they bleed the hell out of the customer. Nothing new here.
I'm not pleased, but there's nothing we can do about it. I said the minute "horse armor" was released that this was the beginning of a slippery slope and gamers as a community needed to stick together and send a message that we are not interested in this nickel-and-diming crap - ESPECIALLY when it's already on the disc.
Not that my - or anyone else's similar plea - made any difference. Gamers have no self control.
So here we are.

Unfortunately the only one of these I think looks remotely worth it is Chun-Li's. I mean they made Cammy wear MORE clothes! What the hell is wrong with them! Rose's isn't too bad, but the whole head-scarf thing looks silly...

completely agree. I'll buy the pack, but it's only for Chun-Li's alt dress.
