Street Fighter X Tekken on-disc DLC finally available this month

In a move that's sure to re-open the wound of those fans who have protested the use of on-disc DLC (which is to say: content that is already on the disc you purchased, but that you have to pay extra to unlock,) Capcom revealed today at EVO 2012 that they will finally be making 12 new characters available for Street Fighter X Tekken when the PS Vita version launches later this month.

Blanka, Sakura, Guy, Cody, Elena, Dudley, Alisa, Bryan, Christie, Jack, Lars, and Lei will all be available to download in a bundle that will cost $20 on July 31 (a price which has also angered fans.) They will be included in the Vita version at no extra charge.
