You missed my point.
I have never played Street Fighter V before -- EVER.
If he wasn't in the game I wouldn't of made the thread -- think about it. Why would I complain about something that isn't or won't be there coz that's futile. I didn't even notice Johnny Cage was missing from UMK3 because the end product was amazing and included everything that was advertised off the bat or could be unlocked fairly easily.
I read that Sagat is included in Season Pass 3 along with Cody (who just happen to be my favourites other than Ryu, Ken and El Fuerte

) so if a company is going to release an updated title to their base game installments then why isn't all of the content included?
That's a fair question and an assumption to make that all characters would be included and the fact that I search for over 1 full day with no concrete answers until I made this thread is telling to how shrewd Capcom really is that they aren't marketing simple information in order to confuse their consumers and take our money knowing damn well that the product is incomplete still.
To prove my assumption correct please read...
I didn't even know Capcom advertised a new DLC character today, Kage (Evil Ryu).
I'm not even gonna bother buying the game anymore after coming to terms with this earlier today.

I was looking forward to it too. Sagat looked awesome to compete with
