This really sounds like they are rushing an unfinished, half cooked, mess of a game out well before it is ready.
It's exactly what it needs to be for the start of the Capcom Pro Tour.
I'm not part of the Capcom Pro Tour or even the competitive scene so why, if I want this game, am I being sold a shell of a game that lacks even basic functionality like vs. CPU?
Yeah, I'm going to just wait on this. I'll buy it when it's $20 and feature complete.
I agree, for your needs you should wait for that big (and free) NetherRealm style story mode DLC to drop in the Summer. Had the Capcom Pro Tour started then I doubt the game would be releasing in Feb. It's just that Capcom's esport investment compels them to make good on their attempts to try and reach DOTA 2 levels of exposure.
