You may have to play the hell out of the vanilla version to appreciate certain changes, but at least you know a better one is coming. Still, I don't think SFxT will have a pseudo sequel like that. If it's like their Capcom vs SNK series, it will have proper sequels (though that means full priced retail).

But that's the thing. I have bought fighting games at release in recent years (which is extremely rare otherwise, I'm the definition of a cheap-ass gamer) because I want to play it when the community is at its best and I am coming in as fresh as a lot of people are. I literally have no one to play games with in my town anymore, so playing online is going to become more and more important for me to want to keep playing fighting games.

I'm going to buy SFxT release (probably) regardless of how I feel, so I hope you are right about this being the only one until a proper sequel. And I don't want to just blame Capcom either; I just have a fairly poor few of the value of DLC price vs. value in most games, Capcom just does it for things that I would actually consider buying.
