The pass has 4 characters and 5 costume packs and it sounds like the characters will be $5 each so this is less them jacking up the price of the characters and more them being evasive about what they are/aren't charging for in order to flog more season passes, which is a whole different level of bullshit.

srk has an article explaining that you can buy "easy fatalities" for real cash. you get five for a dollar. lmao

holding block and spinning 360 while mashing rp can be stressful when all you want to do is celebrate

The worst thing isn't that they're making money from this but that they actually have finite uses. I get that it isn't really a game-changing thing, but it opens the door for it and is just greedy as gently caress in general.

It still doesn't really matter as much as selling actual content as DLC does, but I didn't realize at first that what they're selling isn't "You can unlock the easy versions of 5 fatalities," it's literally "You can perform easy fatalities 5 times and then you have to buy more tokens."

Now selling the FADC ultra finger puzzle token. Sure you can learn how to do it but that takes time and time = money. You can spend hours grinding it out or put down :20bux: for execution like the pros.

It would be funny if people could buy tokens to do special moves and stuff for you but each time they use one it gives an indicator that you can see, so you know they're spending money to try to win a game they are bad at.

I mean a lot of other people probably wouldn't find it funny but I would.

Pretty sure the main market for the Fatality tokens are gonna be the college bros who don't know how to play the game, and I'm fine with that.

OTOH I've heard that Tanya, one of the four characters in the season pass, is just straight up in the story mode already.

Pretty excited to see when season 2 is Rain, Baraka, and Sindel.

The model is in the game and she does fight, but it looks like she uses Kitana's stance among other things, but who knows.

Apparently he has a pretty solid reputation in the 3DS hacking/CFW scene. I wouldn't know either way.

It's hosed up that there are people who play video games (especially fighting games and spinoffs like Smash) who do not recognize Ryu from Street Fighter. There were people asking in that thread if it was Ryu from Ninja Gaiden, and then people saying they would have preferred him to Street Fighter Ryu...

She clearly has some of her signature moves on display, like the cartwheel kick and air fireball, but she has a long way to go in terms of becoming a distinct character.

Wish I could say the same for characters that don't even get a chance to fight, like Li Mei.
