Only if they're not meant to be used competitively (i.e. broken from the start). Unlocking characters for tournaments is a pain.

Exactly. The hidden fighter should always be broken and not allowed for tournament play. Otherwise it feels pointless. If I have to get three perfect wins in a row, six super finishers, and any other hard to do conditions the guy/girl I win out of this effort should be broken as can be, a slaughtering powerhouse against practically everyone in arcade mode and the guy you might have to flip a coin for, or say no to when playing with friends.

Please don't tell me you're giving up on the crusade...

Maybe I will continue if you copy my sig into your sig immediately.

There. You exposed my biggest flaw and humiliated me.

I dunno how to change the sig or I would have changed it months ago!

I'm all for unlockables as motivation to keep playing...

...as long as they are unlocked via Player VS Player Versus.

Otherwise it's just taking time away from what I really wanna do (versus) to play arcade or time attack or survival or something.

That's just as unfair to people who don't play online as making those who only want to do PvP play through single player mode a bunch of times.

Give me mad rival scenes, mad!

Seriously, I play through singler-player whenever I want to see rival scenes. If there is more or multiple for each character than I'm more than hooked. Things like that keep me entertained just as much as fighting online.

On the flipside, why waste development time and money on a hidden, unplayable boss, when it could go to another playable fighter instead.
