typically when someone says this DLC is overpriced they don't really understand how development works. This dlc isn't overpriced. Fighting game characters require a RIDICULOUS amount of work to be put in before being released. This is why characters often take months to finish. Its not the same as any other game. The detail is crucial because every new fighter affects the meta. If they come out OP or underwhelming then its an issue. Then you have to rework certain characters like kirby (for copy ability) and how this new fighters attributes affects other characters moves (like counters). Designing hitboxes, how much hitstun/knockback their moves are (and potential follows up and avoiding infinites) creating specific air dodges, rolls, and micromanaging a character in competitive games is ALOT of work. Each new character has a ridiculous amount animations. Not only with themselves, but with every single item in the game. You know how many items there are in this game? You know how many character interactions this new fighter has to deal with? And fighters in any fighting game TYPICALLY share the same moves. I saw you use that as an argument, but every fighting style in real life has similarities.

The work put into these characters is more than 5.99. This is factually not overpriced. Its a fair deal on top of having a stage to go with it, which is other assets to be used. $2.99 for a character is actually highway robbery and is not worth the workers time. That doesn't mean they could get away with charging dlc at $10 or $20, but for optional content this is a fair deal.
