Sakurai calls DLCs these days a scam

$4 per character is a little steep for me. I took Mew just because it was "free". I can't say I've ever played a fighting game that had characters as DLC (outside of PS Battle Royale) so I don't know what a typical price per fighter is.

They are usually around 5$ from all the examples I could find. As Sakurai said, a lot of work goes into making these characters (in all fighting games) so its not comparable to new characters in something like Mario Kart which are basically just models.

There is more balancing involved for a fighting character than for a racer, I do get that.  I am speaking from an ignorant position since I have never paid for extra fighters in a game before. It still seems steep, but who knows if The Boy wants them I'll likely shell out the cash for them.
