Interesting to see if this game will overtake the original in the competitive scene.
Well it can't be any worse, the competitive scene despise SFIV.
Yep, the Street Fighter series is infamous for that, but then much most other Capcom games tend to get newer versions after a while, looking at Lost Planet: Colonies Edition and now Resident Evil 5 being recent examples. It kind of makes day one purchases of some of their games pointless and a waste.
I highly doubt DLC for extra/newer characters can ever work for a fighting game, unless they are completely done and hidden away on the disc and only to be unlocked by a code, as it can make or break the game i.e. think of the coding giltches, exploits and problems it can cause.
Hence why fighting games tend to get another full release revised version. Look at Virtua Fighter 4 & 5 and Guilty Gear XX as other examples.
Well that's a load of rubbish. They are traditionally not patched because they are primarily based around arcade releases. The home version of SFIV had 8 characters added without changing any of the original character or game coding so no idea where you got that theory from.
