4 additional characters with deluxe edition?

[NASTYSODA]

What do they mean with the *4 additional characters, if you get the deluxe or ultimate edition. Are 4 characters locked behind those editions right at launch? So the base version isn't even the full game?

It means you're buying the first season DLC character pass: Rashid, Ed, Akuma, and AKI.
They aren't finished yet.

for the moment we didn t know if we can own the new char with game currencies or if we ll be forced to use credit card

I hope the beta will give us more info

How do you know they aren't finished yet, though? Companies have had Day 1 DLC before. They don't money-gate content just because it's not ready anymore :(

Finished or not, the game supposed to launch with 18 characters, the investors put money on each character and stage, they will charge you for it, they are charging people for colors that cost almost nothing to make, so dont be surprised. However the game is full of content and game modes, the online is really good, you have crossplay etc...The price/quality is there.

They’ve already released the release schedule for these characters. One is being released every 3 months, the last one, Akuma is still a year away

None of them will be available at launch so paying for them right now is pointless

[danielanavi]

it seems on the beta we ve got a shop and a mode challenge for winning stuff and moneys
probably we should buy each new character with game currency

I m sure to buy it at day one if we can unlock fighters/stages like we did in SF5
and write a very good appreciation

Well we know for sure they will not be available day 1. Their release times have already been announced. And as for how finished the Characters are I suspect that at least the first DLC Fighter is probably already completly done outside of minor tweeks which will be done after the devs see how the meta develops. Characters need a huge amount of time to develop so I suspect that the Devs are alraedy working on season 2 characters.

Basically anything is possible with enough time and money, and these characters take a lot of both to develop.

If all the money were going to the actual creators and not people that suck money from the top end and do absolutely no work at all then likely nobody would have an issue. These characters are already created and split from the game.

The Deluxe and Ultimate editions include the 4 DLC characters (rashid, aki, ed, akuma). The Base edition of SF6 does not.

Think of the 4 additional characters included in the Deluxe and Ultimate versions as a Season Pass.
