Worth picking it up now?

[Doomguy]

Or should a new player just wait for Rising?
Legendary Edition has never been so cheap.

[Red]

... Okay, it might be worth picking up at that price point, though it's still unknown whether owners of the original will get a discount or not when Rising comes out (probably not, since it will most likely be a separate game sold at full price).

[NeoStrayCat]

It depends if you want to. Also, your progress (save file) will carry over to Rising, how much it'll carry over, is currently unknown at this point.

Take standard and wait for rising, eventually get one dlc if you like one of its characters (except beelzebub, you can unlock him for free)

[Cyber Akuma]

My main worry is if I buy just the base game for $2 now and wait to see what happens with Rising, but they de-list this game and it's DLC once rising comes out so I can't buy the DLC anymore.

yea same reason i dont feel like buying it with this level of uncertaintity

[Doomguy]

my thought is, it's a pretty good looking game with good reviews. Absolutely worth 20€ with all the dlc characters.
Even if they release a new version with some slightly improved content (it won't be MUCH better than Versus) it will probably be way overpriced for a long time just like Versus has been up until now, and we may regret not getting this when we had the chance.
By the time Rising gets cheap it'll probably be ok to get it.
Also meanwhile we'll have Relink.

99% unlikely since Rising is a sequel.

This sounds like a real silly thing to worry about.

Rising a new separate release. Believing otherwise is cope.

Why would it be silly? It's happened before.

Games are delisted because of things like licensing issues and things that don't apply to this game in particular.

SEGA de-listed Sonic 1, 2, 3, and CD when Origins came out. Pinball FX2 was de-listed when FX3 came out, and that's a game that lives off of DLC. Also dozens if not hundreds of examples of an original game being de-listed when a remaster/updated version comes out, happens often with fighters.
