And Dead or Alive has the most expensive individual character pricing from what I've seen. And has generally gone crazy on microtransactions, like having to rent hair colors by paying each time you change. 😱
Why not just have a hard "no dlc characters" rule for events?
That way it's guaranteed everyone is competition viable from the base game.
