My opinions are all over the place when it comes to Smash DLC.

Character DLC costing money makes sense, as it's pretty much the main reason why we play Smash. For us to have these new tools in our hands, we should be expected to pay for them. My only problem is that I think that DLC characters need to be good characters to be worth anything. Lucas, Roy, and Ryu are very good characters IMO, but Mewtwo isn't and is currently considered one of the worst characters in the game. I don't think it makes sense to make us pay money for a character that is considered weak.

Problem with that is that if DLC characters are top tier, that leaves people who don't buy DLC at a disadvantage.

 

Imo, in competetive online multiplayer games, anything that affects gameplay (wether it be a weapon in an FPS, or a character in a fighting game, etc.) shouldn't be DLC. I understand that that is a dream that simply won't happen, but I wish it would. DLC like that just so easily becomes more P2W, because if companies want you to buy the DLC they make, then you have to feel like you are getting your moneys worth, thus they tend to make DLC stuff rather powerful.
