With 20 playable characters at launch and a further 20 confirmed DLC characters, the latest Blazblue has Arc System Works gating off half its roster.

It's part of a growing trend in "roster-based" games where fighting and sports titles are seeing just how far they can push the relegation of playable characters to DLC.

And in a world where we've become so used to "GOTY" and "Complete" editions of games, I have to ask... why should anybody buy this game at launch?
