I think unlocking characters is a thing of the past now that competitive gaming is so much bigger. Tekken 5:DR and 6, MvC2, both Blazblue games (I don't think Unlimited characters count, even though the Unlimited versions usually play either slightly or COMPLETELY different from their counterparts), SSF4... granted, they still show up occasionally in games like Soul Calibur 4 and the original SF4, but I think eventually (and sadly), we'll be in a generation of fighting games where all characters are either DLC or out of the box.
