Closing Comment: No surprise here... You knew a sequel was coming.
It's great to see the return of T. Hawk & Dee Jay, and I'm ecstatic to see what new characters will make the cut (fingers crossed for Third Strike characters). Unlike all the people whining about how "this update should be DLC," I fully support Capcom in taking their time with this sequel and releasing a new disc based title... Besides, Ono already said it won't be a "full priced" game. Relax people. Capcom will make sequels... They will support the fans... That's what they do.
