Where's the beef?

I'll get right to the point: This is a great fighter. As someone who loves the Street Fighter series, MvC makes a great contrast and a welcome change. The control options are good, though Capcom went a little overboard with the "Simple" control option. That being said, folks who take the time to master the "Normal" controls are rewarded with ample advantages.
In the end, though, Capcom are completely ripping their fans off with this release. The game is barebones to the max, and they want folks to pay for everything as part of DLC. We're talking about stuff that should have been in the game to begin with, and the prices they're asking are ridiculous -- it's gouging, pure and simple. Ten stages? Are you kidding?!
My family and I have had a great time with MvC3, but I specifically rented it first to see if Capcom would truly gives us something worth buying. Ultimately, they haven't, and this will remain a rental only. I recommend others do the same. It's a fun-as-heck game, but hardly worth the insane asking price for all of the content.
