Was messing around in the character viewer and noticed that Jill and Shuma-Gorath have their DLC outfits unlocked right from the start:

Also got to play a whopping ONE match online. There's only 11 people listed on the ranked match board at the moment. The connection was awful (no bars), but we played anyway. Hopefully more people have it early by the weekend so the lobby system can be fully-tested.



Something annoying I noticed in arcade is that the game will stutter in the beginning of the match. MvC3 did not do this; I'm hoping this was a result of fight request being turned on.[/QUOTE]

Can I get a close up on dat shuma :D

[QUOTE=Buddha Beam]Well that was unnecessary.



Fact is, I have no desire to plunk down $40 bones the game if I'm not terribly interested in any of the new characters, though.[/QUOTE]



Fighting games are not for you :P There is more to the game than just new characters. It's about entire overhauls of the game.
