I completely agree CyberEvil, I think I even made a post about this in one of the threads on DOAWorld.
"Lol, sorry you don't use words like:

How about DLC characters?
"Right now(subject to change), we’re not thinking about that. It depends(yes, no, maybe so) closer to the end of development. Just to be clear(To assure you), we’re not going to have paid downloadable content characters(this could easily imply them being free, because paying is UNFAIR). We don’t want to do that."

Right now, I can tell you guys that I won't be surprised if Team Ninja does have plans we don't know about. Their surprises were ruined in the character leak, so I'm sure they decided to add things that weren't even present in the demo. I could go for a lot of things. Here's a list of things I won't be surprised if were implemented into the game and/or made for DLC.
-DLC-
Retro Pack- this would include a bunch of redesigned stages and costumes from previous DOA's.
Music- soundtracks from previous DOA's added into DOA5's gameplay.
-DLC(free)/Implemented Without Us Knowing-
Character's like Genra, Alpha-152, Raidou, Tengu, Ein, more Virtua Fighters and (maybe Alpha Kasumi, but I seriously doubt her the most out of the others)
-Implemented Without Us Knowing-
Another new character that isn't Mila or Rig, more stages, costumes, Virtua Fighter characters, or gamemodes.
