Wow, its like they dont learn.
The best way to broaden the appeal of a new street fighter would be to
a) Add a much better tutorial system.
b) Make the game much more simpler.
Adding the pay-to-advantage will only shrink the base. Because people that weren't interested in it before still wont be and the people who were interested will be put off by that system.
Street fighter 4 is already easy to understand. It's the learning curve, and the fundamental mechanics behind the system that's difficult, and made arbitrarily so. If they wanted to make the game better for newbies, they need to look at some of the basic concepts, inputs and fundamentals and see why they screwed them up in SF4.
