Good god. Why would you complaing about Story mode? The game is not even out yet. You can't say "They should cut out story because they should put more work into actual fighting" when, for all you know, the game has much more strength put into the fighting portion of the game than the story. The story is there for everyone, but not everyone has to play it. (By the way, the casual players are significantly greater than the hardcore. Story, unlockables, gallery, soundtracks, player designs, and everything that isn't the fighting engine and frame data are major things that would be the reasoning to why someone would buy it. It interests them, they're bored of all games they have, so they get a new one)
