They've said that if you play through the single player content at launch you'll have enough for the first DLC character by the time it releases.

You misunderstand: That's all well and good to say "you'll have enough for the first DLC character" BUT what I'm getting at is: Is that hard-capped? If I play strictly offline, will the only amount of cash I get be the first DLC amount? I won't be able to grind offline and at my own pace for more and get the second DLC for instance.
Maybe daily challenges will fix that if that's the case, but if single-player is hard-capped to that 1DLC character limit: Count me out.

Do replays get saved automatically? I'm in the CFN, and went to "replays" but it says no data listed. Do I have to somehow find myself in the replay search?
Go to your fighter profile (X) and go to match results.

That's a really good point, thanks
EDIT - Just played a Cammy called RedPandaSneak and starting to wonder if it was you xD
Nope, not me. I'm in the beta as Sneakers. Haven't had enough time to play a whole lot just yet.
I don't know about you but being given fucking nothing for your time is pretty demotivating for most people
I mean your overall level still goes up.
The game isn't set in stone. It's going to constantly evolve. If they see that 0FM for losses isn't working to keep players engaged, they'll add a line of code and voila, the loser will also get X amount of FM for participating.
They're making all the right moves with this game to keep it going for years and make it a big e-sports thing. They're in it for the money obviously but they also know where that money is coming from and are actively trying to please the players.
It's been said numerous times but SFV is meant to engage players and allow them to unlock DLC from playing the game, not grinding in it. They've said it over and over. They don't want unlocking characters and stages to be an absolute grind that only the dedicated can achieve.
They want as many players playing as possible to grow the brand and grow their bottom line.

It doesn't sound like there will be enough systems in place to grind out enough FM for the DLC characters via offline play. It sounds like there will be an initial burst of FM the first month, thanks to all the offline content, but they'll only be earnable once, where as online interactions are repeatable.
I believe earlier interviews explained this away by say that it was all designed so as to encourage online play. It would be nice if you were also rewarded fight money for playing locally, as long as your machine was online at the time.
That would be exploited so, so hard.
0 FM for losses is good. Prevents people from AFK'ng all night with fight request on.
Playing a reserved Cammy has taught me a lot. And come to think of it, that happened last time with Nash. Trying a new character and taking it very slowly seems to be an effective learning strategy for me
because lord knows I was playing dumb as hell with Ken earlier
I feel like that could be accounted for now that the CFN tracks attacks you've attempted/hit/missed, blocks, and all that
okI'm having a rough time dealing with good Nash players as Laura. It seems like his anti air crouching normal is so good, that he can do it super late and still beat out my jump ins. Is there something that I'm missing here? Am I forced to just try to walk him down to the corner, and that's really my only option?
Yeah I had to tone down my gameplay with R. Mika now, it's hard coming off of the 2nd beta where she was ridiculous. She's still good but you have to be more patient now.
People would eventually figure it out. Keep the stick pressing left or right, modded controllers to spam attacks etc, ye old drinking bird etc.
It has to be zero.
Surely there's a way to make AFK/idle coding detections.

Yeah, you gotta go on the ground game with him. Once you're on him he has nothing besides V-Trigger so abuse that window. You can also EX Elbow fireballs on reaction to get yourself a knockdown.

Mika's a fun, little challenge.
Not blatantly overpowered...but I see hints of what they want me to do...
She's rough to use against projectile characters, though. I remember people whining about how fireball characters would be free in this game...lol.
No, because all you do is get a controller you can program to do x or y.
The good Nash players are not mindlessly throwing sonic booms when I'm in EX elbow range, and his ground normals are very good and outrange me.
What I'm trying to say here is that I want to avoid playing solid by trying to whiff punish and find some button that will fuck his shit up. Assuming that it's an option at least.
Yeah I feel like she maybe had a tool or two they took away that may have been not the right call, hard to say at the moment. They nerfed her forward MK and I don't like that because it really closed the distance with your opponent and now it barely travels any distance.

I dunno why anyone would just expect to have constant single player things to do to earn fight money lol. Capcom wouldn't make shit off that.
Most likely there will be a set amount you can earn single player and then they will add daily challenges for fight money, like Hearthstone.

Okay I take back most of what I said earlier, just fired up ps4 version and the dithering is much less pronounced like it was at Evo. They have been improving the graphics. Hopefully we continue to see improvements after the game is released since they are going to keep updating the base game with content for many years to come

Is the online name you chose during the beta the one you keep for all of SFV?
should be able to combo into it off a jump in or crush counter
wow cammy's s hk whiffs on crouchers now. That's quite the nerf
Ahh, interesting. Thanks!
I'm a little surprised I'm getting into Cammy as much as I am, but she's working out pretty well for me. Soon tho

Yeah, there should be a way to award the loser some points based on performance. Idlers would get nothing and people who fought would get something at least.

I'm against the decision of removing FM from loses, it is industry standard for a reason. An example would be Heroes of the storm, you get gold from quests, from playing against AI, winning and you get a bit for losing.
As a player even if I lose I feel a sense of progression, I get experience from a match (which is needed for me to improve or not) and a bit of gold, it makes me feel less discouraged. At least I gained something in my defeat and it makes me keep going.
There are players who play well to play, have no interest in improving or they do but don't know how, after hours of demoralizing games they can think on the experience and say ....hhmm ok I got bodied so many times but I'm 30% closer to that skin I want, at least it wasn't all bad.
Player base is a currency for Capcom and our community, we all benefit from it.
If they remove FM in loses, I'm going to cheese it in the league system. I'll lose all my placement matches (which I might not even have to try), get placed in the worst division and have a higher win ratio until I get into the division I belong (2nd worst). I'm sure I won't be the only one doing this, playing the unlock game.

Okay, and? At least you'll be playing, which is the whole idea behind 0 FM for losses.
You won't be able to just replay story mode and keep getting the same ammount of FP. It sounds like a one and done type situation and from there all SP have to grind is survival and trails (and perhaps the tradition arcade mode...if its there). I doubt versus will be one otherwise people could cheat the system.
