Street Fighter V |OTV| BUFF MY MAIN & NERF THE CHARACTER I JUST LOST TO

It's what happens when you're a completionist that wants to own everything in a game that's not meant for owning everything.

It's why everyone hates Survival mode so much (aside from it just being a not fun mode). They want all the colors, but you have to go through all this bullshit per character just to get them.

If this game was F2P, no one would be complaining about this. Maybe.

That sounds like a personal problem.

Edit: also juri has colours 11-15 now, seems like she's going to be july's character.

There would be complaining.

What's amazing is that any other game/scene would be salivating at the chance to support their pro scene. Like could you imagine if Smash did this? I imagine the tone would be a lot different.

Sticker Price is Sucker Price in that game.

pretty much. They are always doing sales

Guys! Don't let this destroy us 😢

Seriously guys, no need to bite each other's heads off cus capcom is being capcom. I think we can all agree the game is great and capcom is NOT doing a great job supporting it.


Here's what i want know: what is the new stuff I can spend fight money on after the update?

Welp I'll keep enjoying SFV, its fun, but I'm not spending another dollar on it.
$10 stages, $6 prem costumes.. disapointing to a completionist like me lol

...unless you are in Europe...where it is nowhere to be seen as of yet. Weird.

Throwback stages are a huge fucking deal for me. The possibilities...

For me as well though I remain a bit miffed that none of these throwback stages have any objects that move along with the fights like all the other stages do have. This makes them feel like they exist in separate worlds with different rules of gravity.

HOLY SHIT THAT THAILAND STAGE!! Kinda wish Sagat's classic stage made it in too.

I also agree with lucebuce12 that they should have chosen the other Thailand stage, i.e. Sagat's.

Moreover, imo they should not only remake SFII stages but also ones from Alpha (the grassy field and Greece ones?), SFIII (the Moscow one perhaps, which is similar to a scene in the story mode by the way, or the subway?) and even SFIV (the underpass and skyscraper under construction would be cool).


This looks good. For me, as a stage fanboy, 10 bucks is nothing for this. That said, I do have to wonder why they chose to make two wrestling ring stages, this blue one for the bundle and the green one seen in story mode that is currently unplayable. Is it the same one in a different color or are they completely separate?

I wouldn't call this a personal problem if you consider that games have trained us for years to try and unlock all extra content. For me this is part of their DNA; playing games equals unlocking stuff. Only relatively recently has this type of content become something that can't be unlocked by simply playing anymore but by requiring additional money as well, which in turn is leading to frustration for people like me who are still trying to have a complete experience in terms of content.

Well if it makes you feel better, Urien's colour 11-15 aren't in the game, which lends more evidence to the "Juri is the next character" theory.

I'm only half kidding. The other half still hates Birdie.

I noticed her color 13 in your screenshot kind of makes the EX02 color redundant.

They're completely different. The story mode ring isn't even big enough to be a real stage.

We also have one more mystery costume that we will be revealing later in the year. This costume is very special and we think fans will be really excited about what this means for Capcom Cup 2016 once we officially unveil it. Stay tuned!
What could it possibly be?

So I guess if you want the content, you better get it ASAP.

This is like them taking out the Christmas themed costumes in Heroes of the Storm. These will be back again no matter what they say.
 
loose boose or luchay buchay? Its #2 no matter what in my head.

It's whatever you want it to be.
If it was Evil Ryu or Violent Ken what would hold them back from announcing it?

1) Not ready yet
2) Want to keep it as a hype surprise as there might be more stuff accompanying it
3) Might be a reference to the story in Season 2
4) Might be Evil Ryu so naturally they want to wait as long as possible till people have blocked that shit out of their memory.
 
Like Hugo

I've never been a fan.

I was down for getting it just to support the CPT. I get a ton of enjoyment out of watching the tour, and a bigger prize pool would hopefully lead to bigger and better events.

But now it's clear that the money of PC gamers isn't good enough for Capcom. So fuck em.

Exactly.

I don't really care for the bundle, any words on daily challenges ?

Of course not.
And I'm not sure I care about the bundle... except that it's not on Steam as well.

Looks pretty much like the alt pfunk already modded on to him to me.

well that's dumb
 
Now that I've had more time to think about it, this bundle can either go good or bad depending on one thing. Exactly what percentage of the money is going to the CPT. Of course, anyone has the right to be disappointed/annoyed by how much the bundle costs (I 100% agree that it's too expensive for what's being offered).

However, supporting the CPT through a "Dota-styled compendium" is a good thing, and personally for anyone that doesn't care about the money going to support CPT and just wants the bundle to be cheaper, I can't really sympathize with any of your bitching or complaining. I can't think of a single gaming community that's worked as hard through decades just to stay relevant and consistently get bigger through all the shit they've gone through, and those top players deserve way more money than they've been getting.

Of course, it's hard for me to justify buying this bundle until we get a percentage of how much support they're getting (at the very least the Prize Pool should be getting a third of the money generated from sales). Any less would start to come off really scummy and would be really fucked up of Capcom to do considering how bloated the prices are. Even then, I'd still give them the benefit of the doubt since this is their first time doing something like this for the game and I can only hope they improve with the next Prize Pool bundle (and their DLC in general).

And of course, any PC user has the right to be frustrated in general since it's really fucked up that they don't get the bundle and have to buy everything piece meal. It's really really dumb, regardless of the reasons.
