They really need to re-launch it both on disc and digitally in some sort of $40-50 package that includes everything to date (characters, stages, story mode etc). Don't do it as a completely separate game because you don't want to split the userbase etc, but give people access to everything currently out under a rebranding.



If the game had launched in the state it is right now (minus maybe some/all of the DLC characters) the entire conversation around this game would be radically different. There's some percentage of people that they're never going to get back, but repackaging what they have currently as a new "complete" thing will probably go a long ways honestly.



I'm curious how active the userbase is; streams do well viewer-wise, and I've never had the slightest problem getting matches pretty much immediately (well, outside of the first few months when matchmaking and netcode were shit). Wonder if it just has a really strong core base but it just completely whiffed outside of that, or if even that core base is super small.
