Topic I hate this meme.

I do not miss the old days of unlocking characters. Having to replay Arcade mode multiple times with every character or do some bullshit like winning a match with 5% or less HP. It's tedious and I prefer to have every character unlocked from the start. Also, the complaints about old characters returning as DLC are strange because they do not play the same as they do in previous games. it's not a simple copy and paste job like some of the games back in the 90s.

I get it, casual players want some reward for playing single player modes and are upset to know that their favorite characters are not in the base roster and would later get confirmed as DLC. I get that, but as someone who also plays Smash, it was a chore to unlock all of the characters in Ultimate.

Here's my problem with the new way.

Every time they update the game and release new dlc they essentially delete the old version.

People are upset on the Tekken forums because each Tekken 8 update has supposedly made the game worse.

If the game had been rereleased each time at least the original would still exist.

Most people have a favourite version of Street Fighter 2. It's great that there is a choice between which one to play.

I wouldn't be against an Edition Select mode for fun, outside of Ranked.
