  - Community fair range: $30.00 - $50.00
  - Reasoning: The provided reviews exclusively discuss the Fujin DLC, not the base game. Per instructions, DLC pricing is ignored, leaving no direct evidence for a base-game price. However, the mixed sentiment—three positive reviews praising value and one negative review calling the price unjustified—suggests the community values the game's content but is sensitive to pricing. The negative review implies full price is too high, while positive ones indicate willingness to pay for quality. Without direct base-game references, we infer a conservative mid-range price typical for AAA fighting games, balancing perceived quality and price sensitivity. Confidence is low due to the lack of relevant evidence.
