    This update is far cheaper than the industry standard of $5 a character.

    I good addition to Super Street Fighter IV. It's much more than just 4 characters, most characters have had a few changes to them which changes the game a lot and how it can be played. If you're still active online, get it. If you want to get into Street Fighter IV, get this addition on disc.

    It's nice to see developers refine some of their titles rather than treat them like guided rockets, with a "fire-and-forget" method of development. Refinement is good. But releasing those refinements in a full priced new-release package is an almost unforgivable attempt at making more money from an already world-popular title.

    Long story short: Good refinements but should be a patch or    It's nice to see developers refine some of their titles rather than treat them like guided rockets, with a "fire-and-forget" method of development.

    It is definitely a good addition to the already branded as the best fighting game of all time (Super Street Fighter IV). The developers also release the balance patch 2012 version which makes this game complete.

The only thing that I have NOT see from this series is the character that has a combination of five different fighting styles (Street Fighting, Martial Arts, Kickboxing, Wrestling & Submission).

    I have played nearly every type of fighting game and this is the by far the best game I have ever played in this genre and even the might street fighter 3 is pale by comparison.

    Arcade Edition is primarily for hardcore fans. It only includes four new fighters, rebalanced gameplay and online updates. The disc version is worth getting if you don't own any version of SF IV. If you already have SSF IV, than you pay $15 for this as DLC. Overall, casual fans don't need this "expansion". This is made for those that can't get enough of SF IV.

    SSFIV: Arcade Edition brings everything that previous iterations have brought to the table, but with four new characters and some tweaks to the gameplay. Hardcore fighting fans will salivate, but casual fans will wonder.

    Ultimately, Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition is a super-sized character expansion pack to an already impressive game. For 1,200 MSP ($15 USD), you're getting four new characters, a slew of balance changes and some tweaks to the online experience. It's not a revolution in play, but if you've already mastered Super Street Fighter IV, it does make the experience fresh again.
