Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition: Free update arcade mode & more; $40 game+DLC bundle

I've been critical of Capcom for Street Fighter V (and I feel justifiably so), but this is definitely a major step in the right direction.

I thought you would be pleased by this. Now you can have not only 1 but 6 different arcade modes to choose from.

This looks like the arcade edition of SFV was rushed after the succesful announcement of Dragon Ball fighters Z, and they want to keep themselves relevant before people go deeper on Dragon Ball.

Do you even know how game development works? Just stop lol. Dragon ball will never be as relevant as SF in the fighting game genre.
 
Mmmm, I regret buying 3 characters from each seasons with FM now. Can I buy this and reset my CFN, or create a new one? So I can use my fight money to buy exclusively costumes and stages.
Your CFN is tied to your account. You can just create a new PSN account but any DLC you buy will have to be on that account and only that account can access it.
 
Lmao why is the Reveal trailer getting downvoted like crazy. Guess this shit is gonna need a lot to break the hate train.
If the comments are to be believed, it's people who can't read and don't see that it's a free update and think Capcom lied about not doing a Super version, and people who are pissy that the free update doesn't come with the dlc characters and the retail version does. There's still more than 4 times the likes than there are dislikes, so the majority seem to be positive about it.
 
Speaking of Survival, it's been removed from the main menu. It's probably tucked away in the Challenges sub-menu.

Thanks!
Not what I wanted to hear, but eh. I'll buy it anyway, bonus if all the stages so far are unlocked. I still think it's a possibility.
 
Actually feel free to literally remove it and give us a different means of unlocking colors, thanks.
You can get a bunch of FM by doing Easy Survival, but yeah other than that, they really should let us unlock the colors through Arcade Mode.
Nothing better than losing right at the end of a long survival session on a high difficulty!
Literally waste of life gambling lol
I know that feeling all too well :(

Yea I just saw the one posted by Street Fighter page and you are right. I originally saw the one posted by Playstation page and it was almost 1:1 on like dislike and thought reception was negative.

Reading is great!!!

I wouldn't make definitive statements like this anymore. SF is no longer the highest profile IP in its own genre outside of the FGC (which is niche as fuck and doesn't drive sales at all). Dragon Ball is a powerful IP worldwide and has been for a very, very long time.
 
wtf now am just playing this song non stop at work. They shoulda put it in game.

They should've done a lot of things lol. I don't know if the license expired or what but they've also removed any mention of it + removed any videos from their channels that had that song.
 
They better fucking lower the prices of the characters bundles for people who bought the vanilla game, because they are 20 dollars each as of right now.

I'm complaining but I'm excited new people are going to play the game.
 
You'd think people would use common sense and realize that the characters won't be given to you if you only have the original game and didn't buy said characters, but that's asking too much I guess. Otherwise what would be stopping people from getting the current game for cheap if they were to get the characters for free with the update too? There would be no point to the $40 version dropping in Juanary.
 
I bought the game day one but no dlc characters and this just happens....

You bought a video game and you're disappointed that it got cheaper two years later?

Season 1 pass routinely gets discounted below $20, and that'll get you enough easy FM to purchase all the Season 2 characters. The Season 2 characters' FM payouts will probably net you some Season 3 characters too.

Can't remember if it is actually to do with SF but there was some collab thing that was announced recently where they're learning from each other directly on networking, or something. I'm someone will fill in the details...

Capcom/Namco announced they're collaborating on netcode going forward earlier in the year. So Pokken/Tekken/SFV/etc all should be sharing resources.
 
The trailer is rather...bad, now that I can look at it.

Anyways...interested to see what they do from here on out still.

Guesses:
- Season 3 DLC starts dropping the day this does
- Given the nature of the CSS, it'd indicate a new version in 2 years (6 slots look to be able to be put in on each side)
- A lot of the Art from Arcade Endings will be cut/pasted from other SF games
- 1-bar Trigger for someone (Nash and Juri probably)
- Arcade Mode will be similar to Third Strike's 'pick 1 for 8 rounds' ladder
- Sales-wise, it will become the defacto for Tournaments, but it won't move the needle

So, we don't get Viewtiful Joe in Marvel Infinite but you give us THIS wack shit instead?

No.

To reiterate, I meant relevant in terms of popularity in the FGC in this genre. The poster said this was a reaction to the new DBFZ coming out which is obviously not true. Anyway, I don’t want to get into that in this thread.
