There is absolutely no way super bot will please everyone with their roster but i hope they are willing to keep a "open mind" about dlc. If they're worried about character blancing than it should be a problem they address head on not try and avoid.
Don't worry about balancing, they also talked about how they'll definitely change things that are OP. Through data that every single player will give in by simply playing the game.
If they go online and get massacred by the same character again and again, Superbot will balance it without patching it.
It's some awesome stuff, Mortal Kombat did it aswell

When it pertains to characters, not costumes and the sort, it kind of gets muddy. I guess one of the solutions would be to only charge for alternate costumes and stages but allow new characters to just be 'patched' in when the team is done with them. For instance, Jak doesn't make it into the game but is the first character to come post-release. He'll come with a patch or just a standard game update and be unlocked for everyone but if you want any alternate costumes (3-4 standard maybe) or his stage, maybe charge $3-4 for them. Or put him in an update but have goals to unlock him (beat the game with Sly and Ratchet or something of that sort).
But it's DLC so I kind of always have an 'eh' opinion to how it's handled. I know Team Ninja said they wouldn't charge for characters in DOA5 but I think that was more of a jab at Capcom over the way they'd been handling characters/DLC in their fighters and the crap that happened with SFxT (DLC characters on disc but being held till the Fall after the Vita release but Capcom has had their hand forced and is releasing them now at the end of the month).
"As needed", I kind of expect them to hold official polls and get some feedback on who people want to see.
