Ugh, these ranked quitters are getting on my nerves. I don't want to play casuals though, guess I just gotta suck it up.

Not just about the loss of points I earned but it's the time wasted I get more annoyed at haha.

Last night was great for me, I went on a 10 game win streak and no one rage quitted on me. I was kind of surprised honestly.
 
Question on the DLC characters and Fight Money (something in the OT piqued my curiosity).

The OT implied DLC characters can be bought with real-world money or in-game currency? Can a player make enough Fight Money (guessing that's in-game currency?) to purchase DLC characters? I guess what I'm asking is if I can avoid paying $ for the DLC characters by racking up in-game cash.

This would definitely influence my decision to buy sooner rather than later so that I can start earning dat money.

You get 2 characters worth of Fight Money very easily. There is also a trophy/achievement for getting 1 million Fight Money which is equivalent of 10 DLC characters. However getting that amount as of now is a grind but after March update it might be relatively easy to get that amount if you just keep playing.
 
How do you unlock story mode alt costumes?

Have they chucked that shit behind fight money? If so kinda glad the sales reports so far are shitty. Look at MK ffs.
 
For whatever reason, I never got EXP for beating survival with Bridie. Every other character but just not him. Got his color though, weird. Hope that gets fixed.
 
Anyone in the UK (or US east, I guess) want to do a few matches against a terrible Rashid before maintenance starts? Fighter ID HolyZen.

I'm assuming that trophy will account for spent FM, or will we have to hoard 1milly to get it?

Casuals is a nice tech tester. It's so calm

How it works:

You earn Fight Money in-game via online matches, Survival, or the Character Stories. Character Stories should give you roughly 100k in Fight Money when you complete all of them which is enough to earn one DLC character for free. They are planning to add more ways to earn FM in March with Daily Challenges and the Trials, the former of which is said to be simple tasks like "Perform Hadouken five times" so presumably they wouldn't have to be done in an online match.

However

If you also play Survival on Easy and Normal with all characters (each character, when you beat survival, gives you a ton of FM) this number can go up to something like 256k or close to 260k in FM -- enough to earn two DLC characters.

This number can then increase even further if you try to beat Survival on every difficulty with all the characters (Easy, Normal, Hard, and Hell). Further increasing the earnable FM.

This is all excluding character level ups which for each level you get 1k FM. So, if you level up Ryu to 15, that's 15k FM just from one character. And leveling them up can be done just by playing them -- doesn't matter if it's the Character Stories, Survival, or online matches.

So you can definitely earn half if not more than half of the DLC characters for free just by playing the game. Some people have posted in here that from playing and completing a few Survivals on Hell (also including FM accumulated from other difficulties and character stories) has pushed them up to 900k in Fight Money.

There's separate currency you can buy with real money called Zenni (or is it with a y?) This cannot be earned in-game and is separate from FM. You can either buy Zenni to then buy premium costumes or DLC characters or you can just outright buy the DLC characters with your actual money.

In addition, there are character costumes in the game you can only get with Fight Money and they are the story alternate costumes. These costumes cost 40k FM each so if you really only want characters and don't care about costumes you can ignore them otherwise keep that in mind if you want to find some balance between getting a costume you want and the characters that get released in the future. (But do note these costumes aren't available until the Shop opens in March).

Note: I do not have the game yet so some of my numbers may be inaccurate this is just based on what I have read. Someone who has the game can feel free to correct me.
 
How do you unlock story mode alt costumes?

Have they chucked that shit behind fight money? If so kinda glad the sales reports so far are shitty. Look at MK ffs.

You beat the story mode and that unlocks the ability to buy the costume in the Shop with FM when it opens in March. I really want R. Mika's alt now!
 
Is this worth getting right now if I only use a controller to play?

Use whatever you're comfortable with. SFV is pretty easy to play on a controller, though I prefer a fightstick.

How do I learn the combos in this game? SF IV had some combo practice in traning mode did they not included it on SF V?

Challenge mode is going to be implemented some time in March iirc. For now, you're best bet is to look for character specific videos that'll get you started on bread and butter combos. Who are you interested in picking up?

I wish you could access some of the Capcom Fighters Network stuff on the web. Have they ever mentioned doing something like that?

I want this, too. Would be nice if there was an Android/iOS app where you could look up your match history and stats. Speaking of which, are the stats re: hit/block%, etc showing up for everyone? Trying to figure out why it's not showing for me.

So annoyed you even let the DOOM peeps know :P
 
Woah .. Just finished a FT10 with a person who joined my lobby ('BenjiReiji'), their Ryu vs my Necalli. And it was damn close! The biggest difference at any point was a mere 2 wins, I think, and we ended up fighting to the very last match (the score being 9/9), ending with BenjiReiji taking the win in the third round and closing the set. The only problem is that since they were on PSN, and I am on Steam, I can't send a more personal thanks for an amazing set than the built in stuff that Capcom provided :(

Also, I think I need a break. My everything are shaking.
 
Funny how the dude that left an association of evil dudes because they made him wear a hat is just a slave to karin

Makes you wonder if he fears her or dictator more
 
Birdie got fat because he literally ate all of the Ls in Story Mode

Ok guys, I need pointers. I played two online matches earlier with Laura (trying to make her my main, I do enjoy her moveset) but when I go online I just get pummeled. I will include a youtube video I made today of it, I win the first fight quite easily but the 2nd I get decimated. Like totally torn apart. I know I am too aggressive, but I don't think that's the soul reason why I got beat so badly. Any and all feedback welcome!

EDIT: I should mention, this is my first SF game since I think 3, so I am a bit out of practise too.
 
Damn, how does Necalli deal with Grief? Got blown up by my last couple. Had some success using his v-skill, but when I get in close I just eat SPDs.
 
Didnt lariat beat crossups in SF4? I havent played Gief in that in ages. I couldnt punish crossups earlier with it (in 5 that is). Cant believe I wasnt blocking crossups, see what I mean by I think Im actually regressing? :/

Clearly we should play together one day because I cant beat Necallis on Gief lol
 
Learned a crazy R Mika reset last night and now I'm very ready for more ranked matches until silver ranking. Looks like I have been sleeping on the character. She has much more potential than I thought.

Do we even have enough confidence in the servers to actually say someone is rage quitting?
 
I hate FANG so fucking much. remove his filth from the game.

Just some basic observations:

-You're jumping too much
-You're using her qcf+mp without confirming it, it's really unsafe so once you start fighting people who know that you're going to eat a lot of damage.
-Utilize your fireball more
-You're sticking out a lot of limbs for no reason, you're going to get crush countered this way.
 
Does anyone have a video on Karin BnBs and combos ? Really want to improve my game with her.

Also, I fought a Zangief that did the V-Trigger and, once I was close, his CA. I tried jumping from it, no dice. How the hell are we supposed to escape this ?


I fucking hate FANG. Not just mechanically, either; his personality is obnoxious as hell.

FANG also irritates me. Can't deal with this character and Dhalsim.
 
IWhat does MK have to do with anything?
It's the exact oposite of this game. It has TONS of content. And it's about to release it's complete edition.
By the time I'm done with that, SF5 should me in an acceptable state.
Untill then, it can fill the gap.
 
Do we even have enough confidence in the servers to actually say someone is rage quitting?

The 2 I had were very clearly rage quits. One Mika right when I got the last hit, and a Ryu close to death as I was v-skill sommersaulting over him with Rashid. Both were on long winstreaks. I actually met the the Mika again later today and lost to some lameness, I should have alt f4'ed like he did but meh I dont do that.
