I'm just curious but what is the replay value of these games?
I used to play Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Tekken (the best), Soul Calibur, etc. etc. etc. It was fun when you could have people over who would play the game over and over for hours.
As a 30 year old with a gf, I don't have people over often, as we tend to go "out" with friends for dinner/entertainment on the weekends. If I want to play with others, it's multiplayer, online.
After the last Soul Calibur, I vowed to never buy these games again because all I do is play through the single player however many times it takes to unlock each character, and then I play online and get my ass whooped all over the place.
Is my problem that I lose, or that I don't actually have people playing next to me for the fun of it? It probably is, but I have lost all interest in this genre of games.

Fighting games are for selective taste. To me, the replay value for this game will be online multiplayer, playing with friends, and the newly introduced Challenge Tower. Challenge tower is going to be a game mode that will consistent of 300 different challenges, and supposedly it's going to take a long time to finish unless you get one of those insane no life's who dedicate themselves to finishing it within days. Between that and the story mode, that's many hours of brutal fun without even stepping into the online world.
I feel like I get more out of my fighting games than I do shooters, or most other games in general. I love learning the fighting engine from top to bottom and learning all(or the majority) of the characters moves. Every fighter in this game will have a unique set of moves and specials, which should make for a very deep fighting engine.
To not get whooped in multi-player fighting games, it takes loads of practice, good timing, and attention to what each character you will be fighting is capable of. If that doesn't sound appealing, then fighters just are not for you. Everyone has their "thing" when it comes to videos games.

That is a REALLY good way to put it, thanks for the thoughtful response.
And it makes sense too. The game genres that I am good at... I play a lot of. Fighting games, not so much. The challenge tower sounds very cool, though. I will have to pick this game up when the price lowers in 6 months.

So is there any advantage to pre-ordering a game other than being guaranteed a copy upon it's release? Is it any cheaper?

A lot of games are worth pre-ordering because you can will get a code to redeem online that unlocks a certain suit of armor, or a new weapon, a new stage, a new skin, or some other small perk that sells online for $5-10 if you didn't pre-order it. Usually it is no big deal, but if it is a game you know you will buy DLC for, it saves you that $5-10.

Good point. I'm planning on pre-ordering a copy from GameStop so I can get Scorpions' classic uni, unless there's someplace cheaper. I'm assuming it's probably gonna be the same price everywhere, right?

For the first week, yup.
There is actually a huge debate and a possible revolution in the way games are priced. With cell phone games becoming popular and more complicated and for $1-5 or free, there is a major movement to reduce the price of console games. If you need proof, look at some of the most recent titles: Dragon Age 2, Dead Space 2, Little Big Planet 2. All 3 of them, which were selling at $59.99 at their release date, lowered their prices on Amazon for a week by $15 to $20, two weeks after they were out. PC games are even better. Join the Steam community and see how cheap games are sold online.
If you want a heads up on the cheap sales a few weeks after major games are sold, go to evilavatar.com every few days and just browse the recent news. All great "deals" are posted there... and it's a very informative website on games/movies/comics to boot

Some new information from russian magazine editor
The game is already at the hands of some magazines and russian game magazine "GameLand" is not an exeption.
It's editor tried the game yesterday and revealed some new information.
- Sub-Zero has new properties for his charge move. If this move connects successfully, then Sub-Zero freezes his opponent and push him away a bit. Also he can do his X-Ray on the frozen opponent.
- Smoke's alt is his Lin Kuei uniform. But it doesn't look like retro ninja outfit.
His moves are full of special smoke effects. He throws smoke bomb under the enemy (it works like Noob's hole), he can perform teleport punch as Scorpion. X-ray seemingly connected with his teleport somehow. Possibly he can perform it only after teleport. Also he can evade projectiles with some specail effects.
- there is only one kind of koins. But prices in the Krypt are very high.
- Sheeva is the tallest kombatant in the game. But she is quite plain and feels "MK3'!!%". Just like Sonya.
- it seems all characters have uppercut and sweep moves.
- each chapter in the story mode consists out of five-six battles.
- damage system doesn't work in the story mode. Damage on the characters appear only when it's story relevant.
- Characters change their costumes depending on the plot.
- Approximately story mode takes 6-7 hours to complete.
- Kintaro fights just like in the MK2. He has very evil X-Ray and it's hard to evade his teleport.
- editor likes characters voices in the story mode. Especially Sindel one.
- Normal difficulty is harder, then difficulty in the demo.
- Cyber Sub-Zero plays like combination of Sub-Zero, Cyrax and trick-kicks.
- hairs are not ideal in the game. But most likely looks better, than before.
- Jade's intro: she throws razorang to the right and then catches it, when it comes from the left. Then she says something like: "It will be easy!"
- Jade's wining pose: she whirls around pole and sits on the gorund.
- Scorpion's fire kick is part of the combo like before.
- Mileena's Flesh Pit costume: she not naked!! She wears some sorts of bands like Leelu form Fifth Element (look at the leaked Flesh Pit concept in the nearest tube you will see it).
- Sindel has her hair throws.
- Shao Kahn's second Fatality is disgusting.
- Tormentor somewhat parodies Godzilla (?)
- Scarlet and Kitana in her alternate could be seen in the chains on Kahn's Colliseum.
- Characters apparently have different winposes in the Challenge Tower.
- All characters are open by default, except for CSZ and Quan Chi.
- Sheeva has low throw. And skin rip Fatality.
- Only Fatality accesible in the training mode.
- Kratos - the shortest and the smallest character in the game.
Next information is supposedly from someone who talked with this guy.
- Sheeva is heavy and her combos not very useful.
- Her second costume: she has braid and black face paint. Also her winning pose is sexy.
- Sheeva is a grappler. She has air throw like Jax, distance throw like Millena and she can grab ducking opponent. In her second Fatality she claps herself with opponent's riped arms.
- Sindel use hairs in combos and in X-ray. She has low and high projectiles. In the air she can throw projectiles close and far Also she can fly, but like in the MK3, you can only shoot projectiles while doing it.
