Ok, so it's been a few weeks since the DLC characters finally became available on the consoles and the weirdest thing, I haven't been able to play much else but this game since. I namely only stuck it out just because of having the need to have Sakura (specifically teamed up with Chun-Li, Lili and Asuka) and ironically enough just her alone has gotten me hooked more than at initial release. She may be fun to play, but I've been having a heck of a time having the whole cast have their way with her. It's something that I got reminded of again back when SFIV came out, there's just something special about 3D games that makes ryona more impactful than sprites. That plus all the unique Tekken-character attacks, the animations and facial expressions (and her Japanese VA) made me REALLY wish all the characters were available back at launch so I wouldn't have to feel so darn iffy towards Capcom for holding my baby hostage, but whatever...
I know a certain other Sakura fan on this board is really anxious to get her as well, but I can at least say I'm finally happy with the game now that I got it. If I can make time, I'll try to do a vid of my own with her (too bad my work schedule sucks) before you do just to wet the whistle.
Special mention towards Elena and Alisa. They're quickly becoming favorites in this game for me as well (both to play as and play 'with'... lol)
