Michelle is finally out of her ugly PS1 portrait days.

Also I thought Human Ogre was already in the game since True Ogre is. Oh well, weird they would leave him out in the first place.

I don't know why you'd waste a spot in auto throw tech gem anyway

or is there a gem that auto techs and auto blocks at the same time, that would make sense

no one ever got thrown before auto throw tech, throws were ridiculously awful from the beginning

Better for Capcom to understand how bad it is to charge for characters now than with SF5. For the most part, Capcom is alright, but SFxT just wasn't ready to come out when it did.

B-but it's the only way they can make profit... along with Idolm@ster costumes


I just wish they were cheaper, or came in packs, or something.

$5 per costume is ridiculous.

The line the Tekken team has chosen regarding this is that stages, characters, and moves shouldn't be added as paid DLC.

I understand characters and moves but what's wrong with stages as DLC? I haven't played much Tekken. Are they more than just a background?

... Though I suppose that basically says nothing.

http://www.gamespot.com/features/tekken-tag-2-a-model-of-how-to-handle-dlc-6377783

Earlier today, Namco Bandai announced its first wave of downloadable content for Tekken Tag Tournament 2 in the form of four additional characters: Kunimitsu, Ancient Ogre, Michelle, and Angel. In keeping with Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada's promise to never charge for extra characters, the quartet--as well as all future Tekken Tag 2 DLC fighters--will be available free of charge.

"I personally think there has to be a line drawn when thinking about paid DLC for fighting games. The line the Tekken team has chosen regarding this is that stages, characters, and moves shouldn't be added as paid DLC. If they are to be added, they should be free. If you look at interviews I have done years ago, you can see I have mentioned this quite a long time ago. It's because these are necessary elements to a fighting game. Much like chess pieces to a game of chess, they shouldn't be charged for separately."

You don't have Stage DLC X
Player 2 has Stage DLC X.
Ladidadieda... Random Match: You vs. Player 2
Player 2 now has Stage X but can't play on it, because you don't have it or you can't play with Player 2 because Player 2 has DLC you don't have-- Multiplayer DLC is always a problem with this.

Requiring people to patch their games to the latest version to play online would solve that. It's something they have to do anyways if balance patches of bug fixes come out.

I don't think it works the same way when it comes to stages

If Player A has a DLC character that Player B doesn't, they can still play together with a patch, since only Player A is actually using the DLC. Player B still isn't using the character.

But if Player A has a DLC stage that Player B doesn't, they can't play together with a patch, because then Player B would actually be using the stage that Player B hasn't even purchased - and they can't allow that

I don't see why they would be against that if the alternative is no paid stage DLC at all. Maybe they think it's unfair that one person had to pay and the other freeloads but I think that's pretty unlikely.

Well I'm not totally positive about it, but it makes sense to me.

... Does stage DLC even exist for fighters yet? Either way that sounds silly because who cares about stages in fighting games enough to pay for them when they're all literally the exact same thing. I'd be fine with a fighting game only having a single stage. >_>

3D fighting game stages sometimes actually do have gameplay differences. not 100% sure on tekken, but I know VF5 has stages with ringouts, stages with no ringouts, stages that can change from one to the other between rounds, large open stages, narrow long stages, etc.

they're a much bigger deal in 3D fighters than in 2D ones.

Each of the DLC characters in KOF13 comes with their own stage. Makes no gameplay difference, they just look cool.

I'm not gonna knock giving away extra characters for free, that's a solid move and bravo to them, but concerning pretty much every other area, Namco is just as bad for DLC as Capcom.
