    Obviously I can’t specify on this game, since it isn’t out yet, but there are plenty of cases were games are released very light on content and use season passes as a way to fill it out, as well as attempt to keep the player counts up.

      The alternative is they can pad the roster out with shotos and echo fighters if they want to seem like they’re offering better value, but the truth is that making a great fighting game character takes time and money. 15 characters is a pretty reasonable expectation for a base roster, and if it does well, they can add more, keep their people employed, and hone in on a better version of the game.
