There isn't really a difference on Capcom's side other than probably cheaper and faster distribution for on disc DLC. From our side, on-disc DLC suggests the possibility that the content was finished beforehand and withheld. On Capcom's side, they already know exactly when everything was finished regardless of where the content is. It's just more content tor them to sell.
Spot on.
It's a matter of perception. The company knows whether or not the content is done and is doing what it can to make selling it simpler. The consumer only knows what Capcom is willing to show us. If those characters were done and kept off the disc, we wouldn't know any better and feel that we had gotten our money's worth. With on-disc DLC, consumers feel like they're being robbed blind, even though the difference is simply where Capcom chose to store the data.
Granted, Capcom lied on at least one occasion about the status of SFxT's DLC, so I can't sympathize with them at this point.
