You'll be able to purchase colors in the in-game shop with your FM. So you don't have to keep grinding survival (though you will still need FM and that's gotta come from somewhere).

Anything better than survival .
Guess buying the season pass work out even more since i now have to use FM to buy colors .
No character balance changes until after the tourney season is done.

Glad to hear the update is coming, and some of the stuff sounds good like tutorials. Looking forward to jumping back into it, but not addressing rage quitters means I'll probably continue to steer clear of ranked.
So I thought Capcom said all DLC could be unlocked for free and requires no additional purchases, yet Season Pass owners are already getting an exclusive stage. Probably going to add even more exclusive season pass stages too. It just seems like paying $60 wasn't enough for this game and we are getting raked in the coals for paying more for characters, colors and costumes that are normally free in other games (with a plethora of more content in the game too)...

Yes, but you gain a huge amount of XP for both story mode and completing any survival mode for the first time with a character. Completing story, easy and normal survival puts each character at Level 17, or gains you 17000FM.
2000+2000+5000+17000 = 26,000FM.
There are some gameplay changes but they're all minor:
Vega:
If you hit V-Trigger Bloody Kiss (anti-air) in certain situations, Vega will no longer continue to rise off the top of the screen.
M. Bison:
If M. Bison is interrupted by an opponent’s V-Trigger or Critical Art during his invisible frames of Double Knee Press in V-Trigger mode, M. Bison will no longer remain invisible until his next move.
Rashid:
Rashid will no longer float in the air for a moment if you perform his V-Trigger after he touches the ground upon a missed Eagle Spike.
Chun-Li:
During V-Trigger activation, the hit stop and block stop has been made the same for multi-hitting moves (medium or heavy attacks for both normal and special moves).
She was previously able to perform option selects involving standing HP into Houyokusen, so this has been removed.
Vertical and Back Jump Frames:
All characters except Birdie and Zangief: Vertical jump and back jump frames have changed from 3f->4f.
Birdie: Vertical jump and back jump frames have changed from 4f->5f.
Zangief: No changes to jump frames.
These changes reduce the effectiveness of throw tech option selects involving jumping (also known as “jump grab”. Changing forward jump frames would affect the game balance too much so those remain unchanged.
Throw Escape Change:
If you push buttons during the normal throw delayed tech window you are unable to escape throws for 2 frames.
Prevents using light attacks to option select with throw escapes.
If you execute specific special moves during the normal throw delayed tech window you are unable to immediately escape throws. Each characters V-skills, V-triggers, V-reversals, critical arts, and moves have been set individually.
Prevents throw escape option selects involving specific moves such as Shoryuken, etc.
Mostly just bug fixes and getting rid of any option selects because SFV's design philosophy is against them.

They said all DLC "that affects game balance" is unlockable for free. That means the characters can be unlocked through FM, but since stages are all the same length and costumes don't make any difference, those are only obtainable through real money.
For all their short comings, they have been pretty transparent from the get-go regarding their policies on DLC.
EDIT: That also doesn't mean that all stages and costumes are Zenny only, just that some are. They might even be real money only for a limited time, it's possible.
Well...unless they put in colors for FM...still need colors for my Laura/Mika/Ryu/Bison/Rashid. T-T
I agree 100%. The disproportionate amount of hate this game has received is always brought up in SFV threads, but like you said, it's consistently drowned out.
It's not though? It's fast and easy and you can do it whenever you want. The only thing it changes is that you can get into matches quicker since you don't need to waste time on a character select screen before every single match. The only benefit I can see for forced character selected before ranked is if you wanted to counter pick, but I don't think that's even been an option since SF4 days.
Also, how the heck are some of you saying this game has the worst netcode you've ever seen? Seriously, the hyperbole over this game is ridiculous.
Oh they never fight each other, I do not know if it is possible.
I just wanted a second account for when I go over people's houses or take my set up out to a get together without having everything tied to my main account.
That way if I want to let someone jump online or whatever they can lose points and I won't care.

Honestly can't wait until all the kinks are worked out of the game, the story mode is in, the dailies are in and they can just start focusing on new stages and characters. Occasionally update the balancing with new characters.
Even though the first few months will be rocky, I still believe this will be one of the best fighting games in the long run. From a pure enjoyment standpoint, this is the best game in recent memory, including Killer Instinct.

Glad to see them finally saying something. Gotta say that I'm not all that excited by this announcement. Feels like my hype has petered out. Screw spending my fight money on goddamn colors too btw.
Should have been fight money instead since a ton of people don't use Chun Li or Ryu.

lobbies still gonna be lame if king of the hill style.
probably never played a snk fighter on consoles. heh

It is a pretty big difference.
Previously you had options to switch on the fly thus being able to use all of those dlc outfits you paid for and colors you unlocked. Now if you want to do that you have to back out...go though a few menus just to swap once.
I tend to play ranked as dont have many people on lists to go into the lobbies...not to mention you dont get points in the lobbies or most importantly the variety of opponents.

Beating up to Hell will get your character to level 29. Im not sure where Hard puts us.

The line where it says Alex and future DLC characters will be free until the Zenny shop is up, makes me wonder how long it's going to take for the Z Shop to go up. Guessing not until early May at the earliest, probably will launch in June with the story.
Also, does this mean I'm SOL on getting Swagaloo Bison anytime soon? I guess I better hit up eBay

When you cant even get your Microtransaction store working, something is really off with the development of your game. The way zenny was described makes it sound like its going to be months away.
Its bad outside real 5 bars and its bad in terms of other fgs with rollback. I cant even play my friends who I play in every fighting game without massive desyncs. Its probably an issue with lobbies, but man this game is a bummer to play. Adjustable rollback settings would be so much preferred.

I'm not assuming nothing to these 450k lol
These are sales already know in NPD, PAL and MC threads.
It is way over 500k.
And here I was thinking when Capcom announced Street Fighter V as a platform it would be content filled with new stuff on the store popping up every week with stages, music, art work, taunts, costumes. Now we are begging for stuff to pop up on the store where only a few things such as already seen costumes for story mode, colours that are hard to unlock on survival mode and Alex in the last day of the month. And we then most likely have to wait another month for only a few minor things to appear in the store. It seems like Capcom are on a extremely tight budget.

I agree, they should have given us 80K FM to buy 2 alternates we actually want to use. I don't main either of those characters.

So still no DirectInput support without 3rd party programs? That's disappointing.

I think even Ryu mains aren't going to waste their FM on that horrible alt costume.
Chun-Li's is still legit though I agree that it's essentially value-less for people who don't play these two characters.
22 or 27. I'll have to check once I'm done with this Memory test.

Maybe 2-3 years down the line. The fact doesn't change that people paid 60$ for the game and making it f2p so soon would straight up convince people to never buy Capcom products again.
The people who have bought the full game will get free fight money to buy 1 new character. Or they can spend it on something else if they wish. This is the only I think this game can get a boost. Perhaps not now but they should definitely do this by this fall.
Now that's a complaint to which I can relate. So annoying and makes me suspicious of people using lag switches.

Edit - Not accurate.
416k is the total for these modes.
You can access the battle settings from pretty much anywhere in the game, no need to back out to the main menu. If you feel like using a DLC costume in your next match, just switch to the DLC costume before your next match - it's that easy and still switching on the fly. If you really think going to the battle settings and changing your costume from there is too much work compared to (being forced into) going to the character select screen and choosing it there, then I don't know what to tell you except that you're just looking for things to complain about.
Then most people would save it to use on characters, and they're not really intending to give away a free character. It's an OK freebie.
Choice is a bad thing gotcha.
Why not have the option for both...'re roll with same character or pick a new one...this could be done immediately after each match which would eliminate your concern of waiting for me to pick my character.

That's a terrible idea....100K will never justify moving to f2p soon. 1 new character? i.e.$6 worth? I wouldn't want to be around for that hell storm of feedback. I don't believe this game will ever go f2p, that model is dying out. Just look at Cliffy B's game moving away from f2p.
To revamp game sales, they will mimic KI and offer a season disc/download each year to offer a better value to newcomers. Last thing you want to do is piss off the player base that has been with you since day 1, i.e. major supporters.
...What? You want them to let you choose your character after a match? How is that any different than choosing your character in the battle settings after your match? Come on.

Edit - I checked and you guys are right... this is the right number.
416k total.
Thing is Killer Instinct offers both in don't see how that is an issue. Also it won't piss me off at all if it's free to play. The fact that I get 16 characters with an option to gain more fight money from the 16 characters story and survival modes and gaining levels for each of the 16 characters is way more value that a F2p version where you get free fight money to just have 1 character to start with which the existing people would be also getting that free fight money to gain an additional character for free or use for whatever else. This will ensure Capcom has a bugger base of players who would use the store more or even upgrade to the base game. Best of all this would expand the player base of the game and ensure Street Fighter V as a bugger platform for future content.
Great idea, make the game free right before the holiday season.
It'll go F2P eventually but not this year.
No mention of being able to rebind keyboard keys either.
No I want pre match but you crapped on that novel idea.
This is what I got for a character I've never used in this order (so it includes level up bonuses):
Story -> Easy -> Normal
10K + 6K + 10K = 26K
strange seeing so many complaining about the netcode. It's been great for me overall ever since the betas. Sure I get a desynced match once in a while but I'm even able to play my friend on his fucking mcdonalds wifi dsl and get good matches usually. Far cry from MVC3, SF4, MK9 which felt bad online even at the best of times and were miserable otherwise. Granted I don't play every single fighting game in existence online but the only one I've played that's been consistently better than this in terms of lag was rising thunder (which wasn't perfect either).

Looking forward to the update but I wish they made getting fight money from multiplayer more of a viable option. For all the people complaining about single player content I'd rather not have to grind through the tedious shit for new characters.
