Although this was heavily speculated news it doesn't come as a surprise that Capcom release the 'Ultimate' edition to Marvel vs Capcom, less than 9 months after the original game.

In case people don't understand why this is shitty news let me bring you to the perspective of someone (me) who bought it on its first day. Well it begins when you pay full price for the game which includes 36 characters, a fair amount to choose from but gets boring after a month. There sadly is no character packs until a month or two after its release when they unveil two characters in separate DLC for 400 Microsoft Points each. A fair deal for a cunt like Capcom to offer? Yea, plus don't forget the additional DLC that allowed you to put on different costume's for specific characters for once again 400 Microsoft Points. If anything those characters and the costume pack should have been fucking free. I don't know about you but I was expecting Capcom to have a full roster of downloadable character packs for a fair price like they had with Street Fighter IV. If you look at the way Street Fighter IV did it, you'll find it a very reasonable way for releasing content beside the Ultimate Edition for Marvel vs Capcom 3. Street Fighter IV started off with the the character pack and then a year later released its Super edition containing all characters plus new game types. Its Arcade edition, which has just been released recently, gives players new characters to play such as Evil Ryu and Oni. This obviously belong to new people who haven't owned a copy of Street Fighter IV or the really hardcore Street Fighter IV fans that want to try out the new characters.
Now contrast that to Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom. I don't think anyone can think of Capcom in a positive light, I mean sure we're finally getting new characters but I have to buy a brand new fucking game for them. Its not worth it, and its not what the loyal fans (which I dont consider myself to be) deserve. Capcom sure know how to fuck over its fans, doggy style.
Besides getting ripped off, I want to make sure that my purchase for MvC3 doesn't go to waste. I honestly will be picking up this game obviously trading in my copy of Marvel Vs Capcom 3 for the Ultimate edition. The Marvel fanboy inside me does quite like the first bunch of characters introduced to this game. I may be getting ripped off, but I never said MvC3 was a bad game.
Hawkeye looks fun to play as plus I love the Hyper Combo he performs with Ant Man on the top of his arrow head. Thankfully this game isin't full price so you'll be paying roughly from $30-40 on this game in November.

Well that just blows. I hate when they do crap like that. Wonder if my friend is going to trade his copy in and get this one then
damn! why would they do that?! >:(
Capcom sure loves to fuck with us. Sadly, I'm gonna buy Ultimate, because I saw cool and awesome characters... e -e
But after, I ain't buying any new games :I
And... there's no Jin, Captain Commando, Venom or Gambit! D:<
They're probably gonna release a Super Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 Arcade Ultra Gold Edition in a year with six new characters.
There's a lot of factors you haven't taken into consideration in this. I don't see the reason for the hate at all.
36 characters is a lot for a fighting game to launch with, especially considering tons of the mechanics were changed from Marvel vs Capcom 2. With a roster so large, there's bound to be exploits that ruin the game. There was as well as some obviously more powerful characters than others. Capcom managed to fix some of these quickly, such as Sentinel's obvious strength and Captain America's infinites.
Even now, there are clear divisions in character strength. Characters like Wesker and Phoenix are much stronger than the likes of Modok. Figuring out how to remedy this takes time, they need to find out what makes these characters so strong and fix it, without making them useless. On top of this, they are adding new characters to make the game more diverse and to add to it. These characters have to fall around the same strength as the previous characters. It takes a significant amount of time and money to try and balance 50 characters. Balance is extremely important for the most devoted fans, who play the game competitively.
Also, Capcom have admitted themselves that they had intended to support the game better but the tsunami in Japan put an end to it. Take that whatever way you want.
Finally, 12 characters, a ton of character changes, changes to the gameplay mechanics and new stages takes a lot of space. The DLC would have to be HUGE. You mentioned Arcade Edition as what Capcom "should" do, but that only added 4 characters and changes to a smaller roster. It just wouldn't be feasible.
After all this work they release it at a budget price because fans of bought the previous version.
