I agree.

Considering that this is just an extra character and not a full game (or even an expansion/extra mode), there's no way that it should cost anwhere near that much.
Much of the base code is most likely already complete and it's as simple as plugging in new content into an already-existing template. Especially considering that it's for a fighting game, and there are multiple other characters working off the same basic framework.

I can understand needing cash to hire animators and testers and stuff, but the actual coding shouldn't take that many resources at all unless the character has some sort of radical new playstyle that they have to basically add entirely new parts to the game engine for.
