Are you talking about the SFV system? It's the same thing as Tekken Revolution for example, but without the time limits. It's nothing new, I'm not sure why everyone's praising it.
no it's MUCH better. Their new system has you earning currency which means you can chose what you get. you aren't going to hope for Dragonov and get Lilly. And also you can pay the money to bypass all of that and by it as normal DLC which you were completley unable to do in Revolution.
