What bothers me is that they intend to sell us characters that are made for what it seems the original roster. But then again CAPCOM has done this since the new age of DLC. I just hope the roster grows more out of this “DLC” characters.
Either way, I’m gonna be reserving my copy tomorrow. 3 months are not that far off, hope they make the deadline.
If i remember capcom said the roster will be 30.There 2 more character to be named.So are Jill and Shume the last 2 or are they add after the last 2 are named?If not the add on to the original 30 it mean they plan it from the start.God there better be 2 more or ill stab some one.Then buy the game but stabbing first.
This release date will break up a bunch of folks.
