Haha it's nice when people are such good sports about rematches. A Vega in Silver RQed on me after I won the second match
we were in the same league so that was 66 more points I believe.

This is why I was saying it would have been better if they released characters in packs as opposed to one at a time. Every month is gonna be like this. Oh well.

he was lvl 25* when I had access to colour 14 (which is 10k FM btw), he's level 27 now.
Definitely not. Was doing normal and the AI just kept doing the same input reading garbage over and over.

Ah, I'm right below 24 so I guess I'll check once I hit it. I put myself through easy and normal survivals and already couldn't take it, more power to anyone who has gone through hard and hell lol.

I just edited my post, I checked my logs and he was 25 not 24.

Managed to beat normal survival first try with Alex! Either survival got easier or I lucked out.

My initial thoughts on Alex, just based off my really quick time with him in Training and completing his Trials:
Seems much, much slower and less nimble than his Third Strike version. His backdrop off HP.chop timing is different so it threw me off at first. It almost feels like a buffer/one motion. His special Headbutt attack actually feels incomplete--is there a way to follow up off of it? His LK stomp jumps over people really up close so shenanigans seem out. V-Trigger looks like it can set up some messed up combos--Brutality potential high! Lastly, HATE HIS NEW VOICE.

Got to round 67 of Extreme survival with almost no resistance from the CPU and then suddenly Laura has instantaneous reactions and combos for days. What an unbelievably bad use of time.
Against characters with bad anti-airs jump in with mk, cr.mp link cr.mk and go into her launcher then qcb lk aka mujinkyaku.
Take a step forward then repeat with jump mk and above repeat until dizzy.
Characters with good anti-airs on the other hand you might want to confirm on the ground but at lower levels 1-20's jump ins are kinda free.
Just try to find a way to constantly cross up the cpu after knockdowns/juggles is my best advice.
Now I'm gonna try to beat it with Chun.
Hitting people with EX stomp from full screen to end matches is so stupid but fun
Can't comment on the rest, but EX stomp and EX headbutt are controllable so shenanigans exist there

After how much hell Normal gave me, I don't even know if I wanna come close to trying Hard Survival.

Extreme is never worth it unless your going for the trophy.

I know. I started it just to see my new Ken color and then it was so easy for so long that I got sucked in by my curiosity about the difficulty curve. Never again.

Since when can Gief SPD from more than sweep distance and connect without using EX or dashing? I swear survival is making this stuff up as it goes along. Currently stuck at 999 LP and round 45 of survival on hard. :\
Same BS that happens to me on Hard. :\

Done with Alex for now.
As fun as he can be...slow grappler types are a thing I wanted to switch away from after Gief, and even Gief felt oddly faster than this. Maybe it's both that and his charge nature that are holding me back.
If you're using Ryu, always I think.

You got the input reading AI. It was believed that mapping a button to nothing and spamming it in between your inputs will throw this input reading AI off.

LP spd range is larger than EX I believe, basically if gief can hit you with crouching LP, he can lp SPD you.
Perfect way to put it.
Capcom Pro Talk SFV is so good. Floe with no filter.
What's the full(ish) story on Marn actually being in Vietnam?
What's the full(ish) story on Marn actually being in Vietnam?
Whaa, his voice sounds pretty close to his 3rd strike voice doesn't it? It's good enough that I'm actually preferring it to his Japanese VA and will leave him in English (something I've yet to do for any other character).
The story is pretty simple.
Marn went back to Vietnam for a girl he loved.
Girl he loved realized he had no money.
Girl (who clearly didn't love him all that much) leaves him
Marn spent all his money getting to Vietnam
Marn has no job
Marn decides he'd better try finding ways to earn money in Vietnam
Marn still doesn't have a job

JP cammy feels like someone is stabbing me in the kidneys.
JP Cammy voices are never quite right
It's pure marketing. This way, the game is always on the spotlight once per month.

So since extra colors 11-15 are tied to character levels, what do I keep doing to increase a character level? Just keep playing survival until I get my ass handed to me?

I finally beat survival on hard with Karin
What worked well for you? I tried the j.HK, cr.HK technique but all it took was one character (Mika) to hand me an L.

Ranked increases your level. Not sure about Lounges or casual though

He was outside of that range, I believe. But alas, I did it! I eventually got him down and somehow, mostly, easily cruised through the last 5 fights. 49 Dictator was harder than 50 Necalli. Mostly because my health was low and I kept getting low refills.
But it's done... y'know, unless I want more fight money. Or the colors for his alpha alt. Or unless I take on extreme/hell.
Trials. Story Mode. Fights, even casual, doesn't have to be ranked, just needs to not be in Battle Lounge. Survival.

i was sitting in my lobby for 2 hours and no other alex player joined. almost all the other players had the same skill, so that was quite nice. still only winning with gimmicks. gotta hit the lab and check the threads for tips.

Casual does too.
Dont know if the rate is lower than ranked.
OverdriveOtaku

Alright, thanks. If casual matches work, then good, because I can only get one-time XP from Trials and Story Mode it seems.
Oh, and with survival, do I still get XP for failed runs? If that's the case, that could be the motivation I need to actually keep trying to get a few of the 4-10 colors.

Awesome grats man!
No but there's a harley mod
I'm gonna go ahead and pretend she's batgirl or something.
Is there a Batgirl mod anyway?
The survival grind is so real. Every costume for every character. Can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. Also matchmaking has been fucking me today hard. Been paired up against Platinum and Super platinum players. Went up against Fchamp twice and Marn once even. When I got put up against a silver player again shit felt like easy mode.

You gain both FM and exp in ranked and casuals. Amount of exp depends on who you're facing. You get 125 exp for playing someone in the same league. If they're a league above it's 150, if they're a league below you it's 100. It increases/decreases the higher or lower the league differential is.
You also get 500FM and 1000 exp by watching character specific demonstrations in the challenges menu.
If you fail survival, you get nothing.

I just used it to see if I wanted to blow 17k fight money on some Cammy colors.
God damn, I think I just killed my wrists and fingers trying to do Karin's #6 challenge.
I had to do outside research to figure out the Orochi was just whiffing in the corner, but holy crap, I just do not have the dexterity to do this.
I guess I'll probably just put ice on my hands for the next half-hour, but holy shit, I have never had this kind of problem before. I can get the fastest tenko, but I just do not comprehend the timing with the Orochi.
