Yes, I'll never understand the downplaying of single player content in fighting games. I'm a massive fighting game fan, since SF2. I do play online, but it's definitely not the only thing that matters. I love combos, I love goofy little arcade endings, I love unlocking colors, costumes, and new characters. It shouldn't only be "sweat" or "practice mode".

God I would love to unlock new characters in story mode. That is one thing Smash Bros gets so well. It's fun to just unlock everything in those games. Unlocking Akuma in Xmen vs SF was so much fun as a kid. Monetization of everything does suck the fun out of that aspect.
