They're prioritizing right for the audience that will keep the game alive for many years, not for the buyers who will play story mode at launch, never touch the game again and/or sell it back like so many do for the MK series.

Bengus please....
A Gazelle fighting a Snake. Bengus 2016 doing animal proportions
Yeah, screw that. Buy it when the content is there you want.

Yup.
To be fair, it took the Illuminati for Charlie to come back. I'm not sure if Gill will pull a Quan Chi & revive everyone.
"you wont need to play either of the story modes to unlock any major content in the game."
"Capcom reiterated that all post-launch content must either be free for players or earn-able with Fight Money. So, with both skill and patience, youll be able to unlock everything that comes for the game without paying any extra money."
SWEET !

I think the delay is mostly tied to new character designs. They're dropping it in June, most likely the Guile DLC launch at the same time.
that's their plan at least... unless they're dumb enough to put the DLC character models in a patch for us to data mine.
I think they've caught on though... the alt costumes in the last patch- they wanted those to leak. They didn't even bother to change the encryption from the last beta.

It's actually not, they just want to make it sound like a "FREE" update, when it's really just late.
Okay yeah this confirms it more.

Season 2 maybe

Safe to say Urien will probably be the last dlc character since he will start the rise of the illuminati.

Tekken gets Akuma, SF gets Gunjack? Ono needs to work on his negotiation skills.
Most likely Kolin of the Illuminati.Who this is?

More like Ono got a whole game of Tekken characters, Harada gets Akuma.

I love Pokken!
Story mode to be added later? That's got to be a first.
They can't unless Capcom wanted to screw over their Capcom Pro Tour schedule. Not to mention rule the game out from being played at EVO 2016.
4 months, wow. That being said, everything I've seen suggests I'll still be playing it by that point so I don;t really care.
I'm glad they're seemingly going the MK route. Now hopefully you play as the Shadaloo agents as well. Not being able to play as the main villains in MK9 & X was disappointing to me.

Lasered off so he can go full on Shadaloo sympathizer like Sgt Slaughter.
Edit: "delay the game?" "Disappointed?" Capcom made the right call on this one, guys. Take care of the audience that's gonna stick around after launch and pump money into the game through its lifetime first.

The classic look must be part of the prologue that's currently in the game.

Why? Most of the community will never bother to play it since they will be busy playing online with other people. A fighting game isn't a single player experience.
And screw the people over who are going to be the ones who keep this game alive for years? Yea, no thanks.

This isnt an RPG, the story mode is about as important as costume DLC, and they're treating it as such in order to get the multiplayer out faster.
Nah.
Nope. The game is fully playable with content to play. If it's that important to you, just buy it in June when it launches.

"You might as well have delayed the game since it should have been in day 1."
Nah fuck that. People who want the story can wait and pick the game up cheaper months down the road.

That would be stupid. Totally fuck over people who will support the game for years to appease people who will play it once. Good call.
Killer Instinct already did this.

Glad they did not delay the game for story mode .
Will play it when it comes out but i don't really care that much about it .

The community > those who want a story based experience.
The sooner people get this through their heads the better.
No thank you. Characters are playable now and fighting game enthusiasts are itching to play and compete already. Those who don't plan to learn the game and play it properly (I do not mean this in a bad sense) can wait for the patch to drop and purchase it then.

I'd be surprised if it was Ono's choice to have DLC gems and lock out a third of the starting roster at launch.
Hell no.

Why? For a story mode that only a handful of people are going to pick up and play through once, and mess up their Tour schedule in the process? Nah. They made the right choice.
