Damn.
Well, at least I'm getting the costumes as well. So the Season Pass wasn't a complete waste.

And all the characters. I'm saving my fight money for everything else.

Will we be able to at least use the DLC characters in training mode? That may be the catch that forces people to buy characters they have no intention of ever using.

Probably not.

That would be neat to have a Killer Instinct kinda thing that allows you to at least do training mode with nonpurchased characters, to see if they're what you want.
It won't really matter to me honestly, since I'm probably gonna buy every character just for the sake to catch em all
Yep, absolutely. The only way I'll completely regret my purchase of the Season Pass is if I just won't get the characters at all (which won't happen).
The fact that I get the costumes as well saves a lot of money.
Sucks that the premium costumes cost only money though.

Shouldn't Capcom just give us Guile and Alex since it's been months? At this point, they should just be free characters as a gesture of good will with all that we had to put up with.
And Capcom PLS. Buff Zangief. He feels so sad in this game. Give him his green hand back. Or at least let his grab combo like a KOF or Blazblue grab.
I'm curious about all characters being usable in story though. Are they move complete and just being tweaked? Or are they missing a lot of moves?

Maybe if the sales were as projected but right now they have to make money..
I'll give you the poor excuse of a story mode and that's it, Capcom outlined before the game came out which modes were in the game.

At this point, good will is worth more than that money. The backlash for the game is huge. Plus the delays, Zenny not coming to fruition, the 8 frames of inherent lag. The publicity for this game is not that good. I honestly feel that goodwill at this point is more important than making a few extra bucks on DLC characters. Though at least they aren't doing the Blazblue thing and making each character 8 bucks each.
Still hoping for Deejay on Season 2. I kind of hate using Nash and Dhalsim doesn't feel right to me.
Throwing in DLC characters free to non season pass owners will only kill the goodwill of those who bought the season pass, plus those DLC characters will still be playable, just not online competively.

Wait that's not true. Season Pass owners get all season one dlc characters and stages for free.
Edit: Actually... I might be wrong...

Season Pass owners get Season one characters, a premium costume for each of those 6 characters and Guile's stage.

That's the thing. Do you screw over the goodwill of the few who bought the season pass? Or do you screw the goodwill of everyone who bought the incomplete game? I honestly think the season pass holders are far fewer due to the fact that characters are supposedly purchasable with fight money. Honestly I would have Capcom give the characters to everyone and the season pass holders get more premium costumes and stages without having to ante up their fight money. At least that way everyone is on equal grounds. Cosmetics should be charged for, fundamental gameplay should not. Unless this eventually turns into a dead or alive FTP thing.

The issue would be that season pass holders aren't getting what they bought. You can't just change out what dlc is outlined in a season pass like that.
Other people can just buy them with fight money or straight up buy them. If you earn it you get it free. Tons of other fighting games have dlc characters and don't even offer the option to get it for free.

I don't see how giving Alex and Guile away for free is a gesture of goodwill when they can be bought for "free" through FM and we've been able to play them for 2 and 1 month(s) respectively so we should already have a clear idea if we want to use them going forward at this point.

The 3-month trial period was the gesture of goodwill.

And now we're also getting the chance to "try out" the remaining DLC characters before their release too.

Stop lying just because you're mad.
Capcom was actually surprisingly clear about what the product contained. Daigrams, blogs, and trailers told us exactly what would be in the game at launch.
Haven't we known since the start that premium costumes weren't gonna be purchasable for FM?
Out of all the complaints I've had with how they've handled the game the season pass isn't one of them.
It was $30, each character is $6 and each premium costume is $4. So that's $60 of content not including Guile's stage. Would I have bought all the premium costumes for the DLC characters? Probably not but I would have bought a couple and certainly wanted all the characters even if I don't intend to play them.
Not really expecting them to add more to it.

You have good taste; I'd buy all of these in a heartbeat!
While 4 bucks is not nothing, at least they are differentiating between completely new stages and alternate ones with the price. That said I'm in two minds about this as on the one hand 4 dollars is not that much to ask for a new stage for me (as someone who really likes stages) but on the other hand I do feel that the alternate versions should have been free (and implemented as a toggle option) like they would have been in pretty much all older games (including IV).
At the end of the day though, more stages is always better for me whatever the hurdles put in place for attaining them (which in this game is somewhat less of an issue since you can buy them with FM of course, though that does take quite a bit of time at that point).

They were pretty open. It launched with everything they said it would.
but they DIDNT tell us what it WOULDNT launch with!

It legitimately took me a minute to confirm whether or not what you said was sarcasm and I'm still not sure tbh.
That would be pretty sucky marketing.

It is true though. We all expected arcade mode and vs cpu (even though it exists in some form in training). Didn't show up and people were surprised. I don't really care, but that was a legit point.

Neither version of MvC3 had a Vs CPU mode either.
Maybe you were surprised, but when word came out that the game was basically launching before everything was done, and that a significant portion of gameplay content was behind held off until June, you really shouldn't have expected more than what was explicitly demo'd during pre-release.
Although tbh, even I expected basic controller support in the PC version. ._.
We all expected arcade mode, but Capcom didn't mention arcade mode when they talked about the game modes available in the game before launch, they were transparent about it no sinister mis direction, lying or hiding anything.

Well, back to Alex and Guile it is.
Well, back to Alex and Guile it is.
No they didn't. They said 'HERE ARE THE NEW FEATURES' and 'STORY MODE IN JUNE'
It was only until reviewers got the game that people found out that Arcade Mode and Versus CPU weren't in the game. So you're the one that needs to stop lying to everyone.

Can we end this discussion? Sure you expected Arcade and VS.CPU to come but Capcom never listed those among the modes coming, they aren't lying to anyone.
Jheeze. Calm yourself down before you give yourself an aneurism.

If only you hadn't bought a product before seeing reviews and then also screwed yourself out of the refund option. Take the L and move the fuck on.
