I didn't get an answer to this when I asked pages ago, and would really love to know. Anyone know?

The story mode costumes are able to be purchased with fight money, the ingame currency you get for playing, and they should be available March 30 when the store goes up. They're 40k fight money a piece.
After buying them you can use them in vs, training, survival and online.

 

[//ARCANUM]

They do work everywhere, man.

oh they do? why are they called "story mode costumes"?


ohhhh is it because the costume comes from somewhere along the journey in the story? that makes more sense.

i was reading it as costumes only for story mode.

thanks for the answers

I hope Capcom don't smite me, I'm just trying to promote the game.

Anyway... here it is - ENG & JP voice and short move preview of Alex

This and the costumes pics deserve their own thread

 

[T.O.P]

When you phrase it that way it's fine. But it just looks bad. Come on man. Look.

Just saw this like 5 minutes after waking up

I thought it was a fan made mock

Fucking hell

The particle/3d FX work is godlike, the 3d effects in particular when vtrigger is popped looks rad.

Thankfully there's a solid single player mode to fall back o....oh

I did the Mika trials. They seemed fine. Gave you an idea of how to use the character better than the SFIV stuff ever did for sure.

That being said, it was all super easy.

Sure if you know how to cancel, which this game could have taught you in more than a text box. I know how but as an intermediate player (on good days) I was hoping the tutorial would be a better teaching tool and maybe give me more insight than I have (and yeah I watch vids, not the point.) rather than just saying "a cancel is when this happens" like, gee thanks. I seriously can't believe you can't even try out the stuff it's teaching you in the demonstrations, that seems like a No Brainer.

 

[SMK]

I think Alex's default costume would have looked better with longer hair.

 

[Giolon]

Holy shit are these tutorials awful.

Yeah, you might as well watch a YouTube video. Capcom missed the boat on the chance to make some truly helpful training tools here. There's no reason any of these demonstrations shouldn't have been interactive. They could have shown button timings, asked for user input as they went along to actively train users in the concept. Could have given tools to help users work on timing (Jeff Gerstmann related a sound-based approach in some Tekken game).

Just ultimately very disappointing. The character "tutorials" are just as bad.

I was just playing Ranked for 4 hours straight no rage quits, good connection, good matches with rematches happening constantly thanks to added option. I fought against people from Canada and Mexico too.

 

[Durden77]

Me too. I want the default costume with the premium costume's hair, but Capcom hates what I want.

 

[Huggers]

What the.... I thought Ken was getting classic Ken outfit. They've somehow made him look even worse than before!

 

[cordy]

Doing Ryu's trials and I'm stuck on the last one because I can't connect his Denjin Renki to his Axe Kick. Damn.

 

[Tizoc]

Alex'a super aint bad but otherwise he looks good
Qnd his jp va sounds rather ok from what little i saw

 

[VariantX]

Take a step forward after you get the crush counter hit then continue with the rest of the combo. You'll be in range for the axe kick to connect.

Sick post!!!!!!

Who plays single player modes in fighting games?

Meh.

 

[Zomba13]

Am I the only one who really likes Ken costume?

I like the costume part of it. I just think his head looks like something that maybe crawled out of hell.

It's those eyebrows and that smile and the hair that seems just a little too short but also too chunky.

Like, the face works with the banana hair even if the hair looks bad because the fringe kinda covers up the face somewhat but on the new costume, it' just looks weird.

 

[jediyoshi]

That's on Wednesday when the store opens, then you can buy with FM the story outfit

 

[RM8]

Story Ken is the least offensive Ken, but still pretty hideous.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Oh my god Alex basically has a focus attack. NO NO NO

 

[Huggers]

Ah thank goodness for that. Now we're talking!

 

[Bishop89]

wait are these alt costumes free in this update?

 

[Garrett Hawke]

lol thanks

Yeah, I love the presentation of this game so much.

 

[Mizerman]

You are doing good work, Garrett.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

You are doing good work, Garrett.

Thank you u_u

 

[toastyToast]

You have time to move forward a little bit before you need to connect the HP. Kind of like what you need to do to connect MP->c.HP off jump ins

Damn, this looks really good! Slick work. They should have gotten you to help with those KoF trailers.

Just sent the link to a few friends.

["God's Beard!"]

Alex's animations are so smooth.

 

[Kalentan]

Not going to lie, I still think the fact that you need to buy the story costumes with FM to be dumb. It should be an unlock after playing a character enough or beating their story.

 

[Hutchie]

Its the hair for kens costume, hair is terrible

 

[Pics_nao]

Does Alex have the same VA as in 3rd Strike? They sound kinda similar.

Edit: Actually, on second thought, no they don't. I should go back to sleep <_<

 

[Wild Card]

Why do people care about a trailer now when he comes out in like two days? I mean there's already footage of him out there.

 

[Rocwell]

Looking forward to playing around with Alex, glad to see his moveset is mostly intact and his backturn combos are still in. He looks like he can get monster damage with his v-trigger. Interestingly his v-skill seems to have a different property from Counterhit because there's 2 notifications after he used v skill and hit the dummy with CH on... Does that mean the damage bonuses stack??

:Edit: Looks like the property is called "Hard Hit" and they don't stack.

What sorcery is this? Ken's doing his DP facing the wrong direction...

 

[k4n3]

love the macho man look for geif all he needs are some giant sunglasses and a cowboy hat

OHHHHHH YEAH!!!!!

 

[katsubento]

What sorcery is this? Ken's doing his DP facing the wrong direction...

That's what I was wondering. You can only do that with Ryu's Ex DP now.

 

[SolidSnakex]

How soon will Alex be eligible for CPT tournaments? Like will someone be allowed to use him at Hypespotting on April 2nd?

 

[zedreamcast]

Oh my god Alex basically has a focus attack. NO NO NO

I think a better way to think of it is that Alex has a Galactica Phantom now.


Also any idea if Ex Back drop is Alexs Backdrop bomb lik how his ex power bomb is Hyper Bomb?

I don't see why not unless he is broken

I was curious since I know there's a 5 (?) week window for EVO when it comes to DLC characters.

EVO is three weeks actually.

You get FM to buy the costume after playing a character enough and/or beating their story...

 

[FunkyLounge]

WOW this patch underdelivered.

You still can't properly see the bars when searching for a battle lounge.

On top of that, you can't even search by number of people in the lounge. So when I want to play only 1v1, now I have to bring up all the lobbies and find the two or three that fit. That's nuts!

And NO directinput support on pc!! What?! I still have to use some latency-inducing middle software.

 

[Septimius]

It's only a free trial.

He will need to be purchased for use once zenny becomes usable.

Might've been covered, but wasn't the whole idea that players could grind enough fight money to buy content? That DLC would be "buy now if you want to, or grind for it"?
