If I was not an owner? It would definitely be too late.

Now everyone can play arcade mode once or twice and wonder what they were even begging for

at least you'll get that fight money like story mode
The problem with this logic is that not everyone's first experience with a game is the first iteration. Example, some pros didn't play SF4 until Super.
Oh xkira is back. Has anyone verified any of the stuff he's supposedly datamined? Not that any of this is particularly shocking, as Capcom has already hinted they were working on arcade mode and an arcade version for Japan. And more stages and costumes are a no-brainer.
Extra battle is an interesting idea that lots of people were asking for after the story update but it's kind of easy to fake since the story mode only characters were immediately made playable by swapping character files.
This slide is raising red flags for me since v-mode is replacing the comment option of the character select screen which would be another easy thing for a modder to change. He says v-mode can change all of these different abilities but rather than show any of that all we get is a screen of a new menu option for it which just happens to be replacing an existing menu option.
The evidence of arcade mode is a screen shot of a bunch of folders and some empty teasing about the final boss and Abigail being involved in the bonus stage.
I dunno it just seems like the more I look at the stuff in here with a critical eye the more suspicious it looks. I'd love for all of these things to be true but I'm a bit skeptical given xkira's history.

The slides do look convincing in my summer child opinion, though I'll add that I'm not familiar with xkira's datamining history in any way. I would love for this stuff to be true at the very least.
I'd be down fot more single player modes that will allow me to earn FM for one. I'm also curious who the canonical boss of SFV would be, which for me is kind of important from a series (*GASP*) lore perspective. Will it be Bison like in the cinematic story mode, the currently still quite downplayed Necalli in V-trigger mode or someone new entirely?
If they add Sagat and his Thailand stage, they would have all the ingredients to cook up a SFII mode where you fight the four kings, which could be cool. But perhaps they are saving this for a later season.
Oh and the slides do mention a possible car smashing bonus game and that would make me really happy, especially if it ties into Abigail's stage / car wrecking business. This bonus game to me is integral to SF.

Or multiple times with most characters!

I fucking called it when I said all those complaining about Arcade Mode would'd use the 'its too late' excuse.
Capcom cannot win because all of you have decided to hate the game for life. Arcade Mode is just a convenient banner to rally behind.

Still no news of a 3rd horizontal row for the character select screen? Those character portraits are getting pretty small. We're going to need magnifying glasses by S4 if they insist on keeping the 2 row lay out.

No it's just a basic feature of every fighting game that should be there from the beginning. While it's nice it's coming, it is the bare minimum and adding a basic feature a year after launch is not going to perform any miracles.
this new v mode options might be interesting, but kinda hard to believe

They can't win, people that hate this game will never stop regardless of what is added. Best to just ignore them.

This is getting pathetic. Any criticism of this game is usually met with this kind of response.
Have you never thought that maybe your favourite game just isn't that good?
Nah. Any criticism of this game is usually met with pages upon pages of braindead "SF5 is shit" comments followed by no actual feedback followed by "Capcom is trash" comments, and the people who actually like the game and consistently play it, get labeled shills for having a different opinion.

This is straight up not true. There's been plenty of valid criticism made by the people who enjoy the game (gameplay, content, etc.) and perfectly fine discussion around it in the OT. While some of that criticism and discussion has also been present in gaming-side threads, a lot of it is drive-by, bare minimum shitposting in pretty much any thread that's SFV related.

Kira is full of shit but he did post a video alongside this stuff. That makes it a little harder to bullshit.
He called the Skies of Honor and Flamenco Tavern stages weeks before they were announced.. Also revealed stage transitions long before they were ready.

Not really, SFV, as much as I dislike aspects of it, was always meant to be an ongoing thing. Adding features can only help.

benevolent sexism
That makes zero sense. SFV is a living product and if these rumours are true then people buying in later will get massively more content for way less money than everyone who bought in at launch.
Furthermore, if it's the causal audience who want this kind of content, the same audience who doesn't care about "competitive" play online, then it doesn't matter when they pick up the game to play with their friends or vs CPU. There's no expiration date and there's no superior SF type fighting game that makes SFV obsolete.
Anyone who trots out "too late" in response to these developments is totally brainless and just looking for complaints.

It's the Ibuki one that sells it. 100% confirmed real.But there is one for Karin.
For all of those guys along for a Cliffnotes version, I made one yesterday.
I'd also like to add to this based on what I've been told by a certain member of this forum (that I won't name unless he's cool with it). Just note that everything here is a rumor, not a leak, especially as development seems to be very... volatile.
- Extra Battle has evolved into more of a challenge mode than just a series of fights. Arcade mode, Extra Battle, and "Dan's Dojo" all exist. That's the same chime coming from two different sources (3 if you count Capcom on the Arcade part).
- While both say a pre-match option exists, they differ in what it is exactly. Kira thinks it's related to V-mechanics, but the other guy says it's multiple CAs/Supers.
- The arcade version of the game is likely to launch with or around S3. It'll have full CFN integration, which might be a big reason the official website had a huge update recently.
A GAF poster once wrote a 6000-word essay of FAKE impressions of playing FFXV. Don't underestimate people's craziness.

FUCK YOU CAPCPOM, where are my F.A.N.G costumes?
as someone who's very much into the FCG, I honestly don't really care about this game anymore. ¯\_(ツ
_/¯Cool that they are still updating it for people playing.
I'll go back to twiddling my thumbs and waiting for MvC:I and DBZF.

The problem with that is that the game actually is quite good, but even putting that aside for a minute it's pretty obvious the discussion around the game has way more more bandwagoning haters than blind fanboy defenders.

This game doesn't even have an arcade release yet, lol. I think it had a troubled development cycle.

Lack of Arcade mode is something people have been very vocal about and seems like one of the easiest complaints to address. It's like the lowest hanging fruit. Puzzling they still haven't added it after all this time.

Based on rumblings from guys like Bornfree, the reason they're sitting on it is because they're trying to make it some crazy nostalgic Super Turbo Arcade mode for the 30th. Hence explaining why we've been getting so many SFII stages (particularly the bosses). Sagat and his stage coming out in December would be the final piece of the puzzle.

Fuck him, Bison is at least played by like 20+ guys. I need some threads.
