They're like expansion packs. Think World of Warcraft, Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm, etc etc.
how does all those sports games? FPS games? its all the same game with different renditions... Street Fighter is more in depth than a shooter. Much more skill to winning a match on the pro level than you really give it credit for

at least sports games.. rosters are different.. and things get improved.. new street fighter.. adds what few characters.. and tries to improve on issues the last game failed to address.. See the first super street fighter could have easily been DLC..
all these usually get some mechanic upgrades/significant roster changes or graphical upgrades....street fighter 4 arcade is still street fighter 4 lol with several new skins and characters and fps changes like for cod...we can laugh all we want at how similar the mp is but they have a totally different campaign that cost significant amount of dough to develop and the mp has all new maps and different guns. dont see how you can compare the changes from street fighter iv arcade to street fighter iv to the changes made in those games. i find it ridiculous they can charge like 40 bucks for an expansion and make ANOTHER expansion right after lol.
There are changes in fighting games. Their moves get tweaked, that's essentially the same as all these other sports games I've listed. These games are perpetual, they don't need to really radically change. If you look at history of these games, they get better with every iteration and there's no real need to completely rehaul things because it's mostly up to how players interpret them. But of course if you never really dug into games like this, you wouldn't know. Just as I never really play these sports games, I don't know about mechanic changes. I know rosters change, but that looks just like a purely statistical and cosmetic change (skins & characters) from my point of view since you're mentioning it. The game only cost forty if you want the full game. If you had the previous game it's just a small DLC cost. And all these FPS games, development costs, the same is applied to every game.
Personally i think 1200 point DLC or the PS3 equivalent is a lot but if you're into your SF then youll pay the price like half the world pays for their new COD iteration every year.
I finally gotten the chance to play this game, it wasn't as great as I thought it would be, not that much of a game that is worth purchasing since there isn't much changes (besides the 4 new character which makes it a total of 39)
Yeah, I see it from your point, as a lot of casual players don't really see much or notice the changes to the original 35, but it's there. I've been playing around with some Evil Ryu, he has some really good punishes and can drop a lot of people with a quick combo.

i got AE yesterday, last i played SF, AE wasnt even out, so on AE i have no pp or bp, i beat some dude with quite a few points and a bio going on about how awesome he is then after beating him (and taunting him a lot, but thats how i play) he starts sending lots of hate mail so i pulled a mike ross and told him to hold dat L in his chest and blocked him. so much hate on sf lol
Haha, just fought some guy online named Laughing Gor. All I could think about was Bruce Lee punching Michael Tse over and over the entire match [video=youtube;4_GG96tXs1o]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_GG96tXs1o[/video]
AE2012 is out on Xbox and PS3 updates. Free of course. You just have to pop your game open for the update.
