Didn't the first BB start with 12 characters or something small like that? Even after all the intallments/updates the series is at 19 or 20 characters right? Adding characters like that would seem like kind of a necessacity in this case.
KOFXIII has 30 characters, not counting the ex versions. I'd say that is more than enough to tide ppl over till the next installement. They won't be able to satisfy any fan via dlc like that anyway, ppl will always complain they didn't get a character they want.
BB roster really isn't the issue. It's technically a new IP, so I cut it slack. KoF is just updating old favorites, and while each KoF character is unique - BlazBlue was just insane with how different each character was. So yeah it may have a limited selection of characters, but each character felt like they came from a different game.
SNK wouldn't be able to please all fans; but what they could do is leave 4-6 slots blank and just release unique DLC characters through the console life of the game as DLC. Then add these characters to the next release of the game, on top of the other characters that would be unique for that next installment. It's doable.
I do agree with you that I'd rather have had one new char then 3 DLC chars+ stages+trials+ soundtrack. Work would have been equivalent I think.
Eiji would have made the most sense to team with Billy.
Yeah current KoF DLC should just be unlockable extras for playing the game. Billy is the best of the bunch and he's on the disk.
U gotta keep in mind though that bb characters are a LOT more diverse than kof characters.
It can't be said enough. It's the one thing I really enjoy about the game, and that I really hate. It's why I can only play Tager.
ASW needs to make another grappler type so I have an alt.
