According to Japanese magazine Famitsu, Capcom will be releasing weekly updates for after the game's release to bring at least one new costume to each fighter in increments of five costumes per week. In addition, players will also be able to download a free championship mode that is for experienced online fighters looking for hardcore ranked fights. These fights will have saved replays for other players to download, watch, and study.

Currently, Famitsu pinpoints the downloadable costume content at 320 each, or you can wait for the entire "combo pack" for 1,000 after all the costumes packs have been released. Note that this content has only been confirmed in Japan. We are waiting on a response from Capcom.
