The idea of rehosting a tournament sounds good, except there is no way, so far as I can tell right now, to weed out those who've already won from "spoiling" the show by participating again (hence an idea I put out there before about opting into tournaments). I fear Aces and/or BN will be too fearful of backlash if they allow something that smells too much like a free giveaway. They give away supply tickets like candy, so I can't believe it would be hard to save enough up in short order.

If they were to put something like the X-02 Knight in the catologue, they'd have to dramatically up the price from where current prices are. Pixy and Vent- d'Ange are both 400. I know they were drops or whatever, but Cipher and Pixy have very close stats. Making Cipher overly more expensive as a catalogue item would feel like robbery, but too cheap and you suddenly have a harder time justifying much higher prices on the likes of Gryphus and Knight. They certainly could (I'm sure few expected they'd make the XFA-27 and R-101 quite as expensive as they did), but it seems repeating a tournament or putting it as DLC is the easiest option for the ranking tournament prizes if they do choose to give them away again. And hey, repeating tournaments certainly adds length to the game more so than an "all you can buy" DLC dump.
