I don't know. There's an awful lot of whining about DLC these days. I'd almost think people would rather spend another $70 on a new cartridge....

DLC is worse than a new hard copy version, IMO.

They string you along with new costumes, missions, and characters until you end up spending $80 for the full package - but you don't even realize it through the psychological magic of online payments strung out over multiple months.

Then you realize all that DLC you bought? Yea, it's useless in the next version.

@Magnalon Since when did they force you to buy the DLC?

Yeh thats why im glad that is not always useless. The costumes you buy for SFIV work for Super street fighter 4. Also all the tons of costumes for Little big planet are 100% transferable to LBP2. In the case of a game like LBP, i find it extremely worth it.

Since it's the only way to stay competitive (at least in the case of Blazblue - you have to buy - now - 2 characters at $5 each).

Now you only have to be slightly bummed, because you know they're still going to charge you for it

@The Joy of Painting w Bob Ross -- The main rumors (according to The Fighter's Generation) are that Rolento and Alex from SF III will be the two that are added.

"Alex & Rolento Joining SSF4?!
Producer Ono has said stated that the new characters for the arcade version Super Street Fighter IV (and probably DLC) will be revealed in September at the Tokyo Game Show. Rumors have been floating around the last few days, and some fans are speculating that Alex & Rolento will be filling the 2 empty character slots. Still, nothing is confirmed just yet."

Kind of the same thing?

I anticipated this line of questioning. If you gave Ken a pink costume would it replace Dan?

No, because Dan has different moves. Zangief and Mike Haggar have the same moveset.

Right? The only one in my town closed a few years ago. I'm thinking the only arcades of any real quality are in the big cities :/

It's already been shown that there are 2 new character slots in the arcade version. They are to be revealed at Tokyo Game show. The suspense is killing me.

I think it was one of the producers that let it slip that its actually 6. They just teased 2 spots to get people excited.

"These days, though, there's the possibility of DLC, so we'll save our dejection until we need it."

Or, knowing the Street Fighter Series, they'll just release it as a new game, say hello to "Ultra Street Fighter 4 Advanced"

Ahh, it's Arika, right? Last time I saw a game they published, it was a demo of a weird puzzle, date sim, tetris clone but not a tetris clone. I haven't seen really a lot of quality things form them lately. Maybe Capcom would be willing to buy those rights if we make an internet petition and get a bajillion signatures.

I know it's probably just a placeholder silhouette, but it looks like Seth's existing character select avatar. I just hope it's not another version of Seth, or something relating to him.

@WiredKnight Agreed dude. I liked her too since I used to to capoeira like 15 years ago, plus she was a unique character in that she had no punches/hand attacks.
