Super Smash Bros 4 Wii U/3DS DLC Model: Good or Bad?

Yeah, I can definitely see how having paid DLC right out the gate would've definitely crippled Splatoon's chances, especially considering most of the stuff was in development before the game even came out.
I think the people who got it Day One were faithful fans who trusted that Nintendo would follow through on their promise of the future content being free. And sure enough, that's exactly what they did. And because it was free, and the fact that's there's around double to triple the content there was when the game came out, the people who were waiting to see if they'd follow through before buying the game, bought it now.
And I'm hoping that the way Splatoon was managed will serve as a lesson for future DLC packs for Smash 4 and even Smash 5 on NX, as to how the costumes and stages should be given out.
