Decapre Is Ultra Street Fighter IV's Fifth New Character

Oh man, I wonder how hard will the announcer yell "ULTRA STREET FIGHTER FOUR".

I know it is not exactly breaking new ground to say this but...

How many times are they going to release this game? I already paid sixty for it once, the first time it came out, and it still stings a little to see it being brought up.

Sure, tourney players will love it, but what about the rest of us who just want "the complete version" of the damn game?

The update is $15. I would say this update is not for you, but since you seem to want "the complete version", I would guess you are a fan of Street Fighter. Thus, you would understand the value of balance and 5 additional (I won't say new) characters. Maybe I'm being a troll. I just don't understand people who don't actually care about SF complaining about updates that aren't for them. It is for tourney players. Just as Capcom's Pro Series is taking place to show their commitment to the tournament scene. It's not League of Legends support, but it's something, and I, for one, appreciate it.

I wonder why they didn't call it Final Street Fighter IV... maybe there's more!

Those weren't limitations, they were clues. The only limitations they had were a budget of about $3 and like 4 people working on it. So, although disappointing, the choices of characters that were added aren't especially surprising.

Having never touched Tekken V Street Fighter, I'm very happy with this latest batch of characters. Elena and Hugo were two of my favorite characters from Third Strike, and Rolento looks pretty sweet as well!

@theinnkeeper:

I understand the idea of the update as far as tournament players go, but for the rest of us who just want the full version of a game we enjoyed, it just seems like rubbing salt in the wound to me whenever a company does this.

It is not only Capcom that makes me feel this way either; Blazblue lost a lot of luster to me when that series got the same treatment.

It just feels like a smack in the face I guess. Maybe if they offered a kind of payment plan for it, in which the die hard players can pay more but get all the updates down the line while the rest of us can grab it for forty bucks and just deal with multiple releases later on?

Not a perfect solution I know, but it's better than dropping the cash and hoping that you got the final version.
