[quote name='CaptainJoel']I don't think that's bad, it's basically the same as it would be if you're playing vs offline and picked the same character and can't pick the same costume, right? Just means that you have to be a little faster than the other person, or edit your reserves with the costumes. I didn't expect palette swaps of the new costumes, anyways. I'd have had way too much fun with Iron Man's armor, then.[/QUOTE]
Not in SSF4.
You can't both be Ryu in the shredded orange gi. But you can both be Ryu with the shredded torn gi in different colors.
Basically, to this point in time, DLC costumes for any fighting game I've seen them in (mostly (S)SF4) come with alternate colors.
It makes sense for Iron Patriot in a way, since that's basically an alt color, but that's the only one. Even if they did as one GAF poster suggested and made a darker version of the same outfit, so you could at least use it against anyone in an online match. I don't want to have to race to select Dante to use my new costume I paid for because someone else might do it first.
The fact that there are no alternate colors here is absolutely retarded.
While this game is fun, it's a
ing disaster from a feature standpoint.
