Guilty Gear continues to avoid all these MTX issues. Although I'll note that I don't consider season passes part of that because before those Capcom would just re-release the game at full price each year with like 2 new characters, so being able to buy a fighter once at full price and then pay the equivalent of half a game each year for 4 new characters is actually an improvement from historical practices.

Yeah I'm aware of Capcom's practice. Just like SF, GG too had similar updates during PS2-era. Sadly the latest GG Strive suffers from nickel and diming although your mileage may vary. Compare Strive to its predecessor, Xrd Rev 2.

Xrd Rev 2 (25 chars)
1.) Base game (Revelator): 21 chars
2.) Revelator DLC: 2 dlc, 2 chars (Dizzy, Kum Haehyun)
3.) Upgrade Revelator to Rev 2: free 2 chars (Answer, Baiken)

Strive (27 chars so far)
1.) Base : 15 chars
2.) Season Pass 1: 5 chars
3.) Season Pass 2: 4 chars
4.) Season Pass 3: 3 chars

Conclusion :
For Xrd Rev 2, add 3 piecemeal DLCs for complete rooster.
For Strive, add 3 season passes or 12 piecemeal DLCs for complete rooster.

Guilty Gear has fallen prey to mtx >.<
