M.bison is locked

[Oddfella]

I'm new to SF and recently purchased the SF6 Ultimate Edition, hoping to play as M. Bison when he becomes available. However, I was surprised to find that the game is asking me to purchase him separately. I was under the impression that the Ultimate Edition includes all characters.

"The Ultimate Edition is a digital-exclusive release that contains every perk of the Deluxe version, with the only difference being its Year-One Pass. While the Deluxe Edition gives players a character-limited yearly pass, the Ultimate gives them access to all DLCs lined up for 2023-2024."

VEGA/M.BISON is the first character of the second season (2024-2025), so the ultimate edition doesn't cover that. I understand that it can be confusing.

Welcome to modern fighting games. Look forward to having to buy a pass every year.

Still better than having to buy a new version every 1-2 years.

Thank you guys for the clarification, its a bit sad, especially for me as a new SF player.

I think what you are looking for is the GOLD edition. Which only appears when the game has reached its end development on DLCs.

Wait for Ultra Street Fighter 6 that will come out in 4 years or so, so you can buy the game again and won't include all the DLC lol.

Oh it used to be even worse, World Warrior, Hyper Fighting and Super Street Fighter II all came out within two years on the SNES. All being sold at a cool $60 each, which comes up to about uh... $134 in 2024 money. (Thank your parents some time for putting up with your hobby)

There are no bison in this game, just some angry dude named Bison.

We need to bring back the days of Super Hyper Street Fighter Tournament Mountain Dew Edition released like six months after Hyper Street Fighter Ultra Kumite Panda Edition.

They added like a new color for 3 characters, made the loop for Guile's theme 6 seconds longer and charged full price for it, really goes to show you how much more gaming companies cared for their customers back then.

I already replied to this in other threads but you truly have a very biased view if you think modern gaming practices are similar to how they used to be in the 1990s. Absolutely true they had many different games they would sell as complete packages. They also were not every six months. Paying over 100USD for the initial game and characters for only a year one experience and without the battle pass and WITH currency and micro TX is egregious and way worse. The budgets also are currently super investor inflated and development goes to the micro transactions more than core gameplay and patching. Honestly I don't get how anyone can hold your view, even studio employees. They don't even get the development time and resources they deserve because the industry is so backwards currently.

Biased my ass, Street Fighter 2 was easily running me $100 a month, do you have any idea how many lawns I had to mow just to get dunked on by the local Guile ultra sweat?
