Is anyone really looking forward to having their roster shrunk back down to like 14 characters so that they can sell us four more season passes?

Edit: let me know when they announce rollback for Tekken 8 and then maybe I'll start to care. Until then, seven is working just fine.

I just want Tekken x Street Fighter still. Tekken 7 came out in 2015 and got support for 6 years. I love 7 but damn.

I believe it came out recently that the project had been cancelled.

Actually, I think it was stated afterwards that it still hasn't been officially cancelled

I don't think season passes are inherently bad, because I'm old enough to remember when Capcom was pushing out new versions of their most recent fighter yearly for full price. I'd rather buy a game and spend $20/yr on season passes than buy SF3 (1997), SF3: 2nd impact (1997), and SF3: Third Strike (1999) each with no backwards compatibility between them. I mean.. did we all forget what they did with Street Fighter 2? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_Fighter_II#Updated_versions) Or how they release MVC3 and then UMVC3 a year later?

At least with season passes the community is locked into a single title rather than split across versions.

No it's not. He stated multiple times it's on hold specifically because of how well Tekken is doing now. It doesn't make sense financially to keep working on the game given that 7 and it's dlc is still selling and getting exposure like it is. It would cannabalize it's own sales doing so.

To be fair on that point, I believe that the MvC3 situation had a lot to do with some really, really screwy rights issues. MvC3 Vanilla and Ultimate actually came out like nine months apart, but it wasn't actually entirely Capcom's fault.

I don't recall the details, but I had a lot of insider info in the FGC around that time, and I believe it came down to some really wonky contract decisions that didn't let Capcom do additional DLC beyond what was originally done, and which gave them a really small window to do an update like that. I think Marvel gave them the okay for one additional release within a short window, partially to push upcoming movies at the time.

I wish I remembered the full situation, but it's been a decade and I'm blanking on some of the details by now. But for that particular update, I believe it was more on Marvel's end at the time. DLC was already fairly prevalent by then, but I believe it wasn't feasible for MvC3 at that point.

Anyway, it has been good in my life, and I was young and ignorant, but today, the 7, I doubt it's coherent.
