MKX launches today, Combo Breaker next month and E3 soon after.

Givem what we know of the costumes via Kira this patch seems to be designed to last another month or two before another one.

Ads are back.

I'm still having fun with the game. Once new characters come out, all you guys are going to do is complain and move on to talking about who you want next anyway. I want to see what happens with the V-Skill II stuff. Also a 4.5 patch should've happened by now, but I guess they're waiting for whenever they add a character.

It's hard to feel done with SFV when G is still such an absurd character to wield and witness. I still kinda wish they didn't do Abigail dirty too.

Haven't copped Kage though since the character isn't super interesting and I'm still waiting to see how S4 shakes out. I'll probably get him with whatever next update happens anyway, but the silence is still a shame considering how fire season 3 was overall.

Also seeing punk dominate again with Karin is kinda sick. It almost makes me feel bad for dropping her as my main not long after starting playing the game since I couldn't execute to save my life.

Pretty much how I feel. Of course, I would love some new characters but I am still enjoying the game a bunch.

P.S. Where's Abel?

We must free him, like we did Rita.
I do miss Abel. I always liked him in 4, he's probably the only one of the newbies from 4 (bar Gouken) I'd like to see come back. At least with 5 I actually like more of the new characters introduced (especially G and Abigail), only one I really can't stand is Falke - who might be the blandest/most boring character alive. I mean, I can't stand fighting Menat but I can appreciate her interesting playstyle, awesome theme and funny English voice acting at very least.

I also miss Abel. As I remember he appears in the story mode with 2 different costumes and none of them are the classic one from SFIV. If they want to add a cheap character importing animations and stuff from SFIV would be something I prefer over Evil Ken, Oni or (already available in Story mode with animations and so on) Decapre, because he isn't a "clone" of other current SFV playable characters.

I'd take Abel back, but only if he's more or less 1:1 to his IV/xT version. I don't want him back for his character or design, that's for sure.

Pretty sure someone somewhere mentioned that the characters in the story mode were basically cameos and were never planned to be playable.

But i have no idea where i remember that from

I think that was translated from one of the SFV books. Either the book that came in SFVAE VALUABLE EDITION II package or the more recent How To Make Capcom Fighting Characters book. It might be the Valuable Edition II book because that one had lots of extra info like how Decapre was originally in the base roster and Cammy was meant to be Season 1 DLC.

Yeah, this seems to be a calm before the storm type patch - we've got 8 more costumes and a stage to go IIRC, based on Kira's stuff.

My findings of datamining the v4.040 update localization file changes:
  • Katt replaced the ID_SYS_BSet_0205 costume name placeholder. They added the ID_SYS_BSet_0201, 204 and 211 placeholders
  • Now we have there the 201, 202, 0204 to 0212 and 214 to 216 costume name placeholders, so considering Leo was 203 and Kenji was 213 now there are pleaceholders for 15 unannounced costume or Fighting Chance costumes more (just before them there is The Gief of that list).
  • Added Crossover BGM track: "Cross Counter from Breath of Fire II"
  • Katt store "3 to 10" color bundle replaced the ID_CMN_Cond_COLOR_1420 and ID_CMN_Cont_COLOR_2349 placeholders. There are 6 more after it (1421 to 1425 and 1427 in one side and 2350 to 2354 and 2356 in other, so may be 7)
  • ID_CMN_Stag_E_S17 / ID_CMN_Stag_Temp_S17 stage name placeholders have been removed
  • New Fighting chance item: Ship - A large-scale model of a ship that feels like it is straight out of a pirate movie.
  • "Your application for the deletion of your personal information has been received" related texts renamed to "Your Fighter ID and accompanying information are currently awaiting deletion" and similar
  • "Begin the game mode displayed in the Information section." text replaced by "Go to the purchase screen for content displayed in the Information section, maybe related to game modes locked in free trial mode.
  • "Capcom Legends Pack Now Live!", "2017 Holiday Pack Now Live!","Get Guile, Akuma, and Sagat for FREE!","Sale Now On in "Special" in the Shop!","11 New Costume Bundles Added!" info texts replaced by "Try out additional characters for FREE!","Costume bundles available for download!","Sale underway!","New content added!","INFORMATION"
Other v4.040 changes:
  • Added Chun-Li gameplay tweat (bugfix)
  • Added Falke's Katt (Breath of Fire II) crossover costume
Everything seems was ok in PC but I can't play on PS4. I always get 1000a, 10006 or 2100c errors when trying to connect in
PS4. Tried several times through cable and wifi and even restarted the router. I have a 500mb fiber connection in South West EU with no connection issues other than that.

Maybe the game servers got saturated with the free trial?

Looks like a lot of the DLC is on sale on Steam and PS Store. Character passes are 50% off, and the recent S1-S3 costume bundles are discounted for the first time at 30% off.

Still holding on to my prediction of one more asset flip character this season (announced at Evo) and a teaser announcement of S5 being a "Super" update at Evo as well, but not launching until Dec or Jan.

Hmm... I might have to check out t he BOFII character for the BGM alone. If its one of my preferred battle themes from the game I'd be tempted to replace Juri and/or Falke's theme with it. I'm really liking Genji's theme as well, I passe on Leo's theme but I might have to bite for Genji.

Awesome data mining as always. Guessing the Capcom legends pack might be a pack consisting of all the recent Forgotten Worlds/Red Earth/Cyberbots etc. costumes? Still hoping on that fighting chance costume bundle at some point.

Thanks.

A couple of updates ago or so they added extra battle missions texts for almost a dozen of crossover music track BGM mision and there are like 15 costume name placeholders that could be for Extra Battle. So expect over 10 crossover costumes more. It's pretty likely that they would pack them in different bundles as they did in the past with Capcom Legends or brand specific bundles.

They have a dozen of unnanounced DLCs uploaded to Steam store, so it's very likely that most of them would be costume bundles an some of them Extra Battle costume bundles maybe combined with paid only costumes as they did with some crossover series:

https://steamdb.info/app/310950/dlc/

I'm surprised nobody posted this yet.


Nice to see Capcom communicating and asking for feedback! I asked them to make more SFV character announcements there and to bring back the FM give aways for people watching the stream.

Finally got the Arcade Edition Deluxe during this sale. Has anyone calculated how much fight money you can get by completing all the single player content? I'm debating whether to buy the stages as well.

If you do story, trials, demonstrations, all 4 difficulty levels of survival you will top out around level 29 for each character. Maybe the season 1 characters will get you a bit more due to having more trials. But level 29 X 1,000 FM for each level = 29000 FM per character.

29,000 X 34 characters of Arcade Deluxe = roughly 986000 FM.

You will earn more doing weekly missions and leveling up characters during online play, but don't expect a huge amount. You might eke out the 1,000,000 FM trophy if you do all the possible FM sources, but it will be a grind with EXTREME survival.

And both the extreme survival and some of the harder challenges are mindbogglingly tedious/difficult. Some crazy people have probably achieved that already, but except if you're a masochist, don't make completing these tasks your goal in this game.

Thank you. That's surprisingly a lot more than I thought. The only other thing I really want is Kage for 100000 FM. Since the stages can be bought with FM I should probably just try to grind it out. I won't complete the survival modes probably, but I'll definitely do all the trials and story modes at minimum.

I did EXTREME survival with Rashid after they retooled the mode. SFV and Tekken 7 are my only 100% trophy games, lol. I'll get there with SC6 in a few years.

Yeah, I managed Extreme Survival with Ryu I think after they retooled the mode, made it way more bearable. Can't bring myself to do it for all characters yet though.

Yea, I wouldn't do it for all characters. It's not really fun. I just wanted the trophy.

I wish they would go crazy with it and have dumb stuff happening. Combine 3S system direction mode and what MK does with the environment stuff in the towers.

Have people throwing bananas and hotdogs on the ground, have random yoda fireballs around the screen. And have the things you equip like armor on your moves or have chain combos for a round or unlimited meter.

yeah, Id have liked more challenge mode/tower stuff in this. Definitely would have played those modes. Also, it still hurts that World Tour mode hasn't been brought back in SF, its my favourite mode ever.

And yeah, I only did Extreme for the trophy. I'm only a couple short now, doubt I'll hit gold rank though. Plus for some bizarre reason I still don't have the 300 Super finishes despite doing tons of them over the years.

OMG no. Dunno if you know what's happening with MK11 right now, but that sort of crazy BS being thrown all over the screen + a slimy as hell microtransaction system and progress gating is the worst thing I've seen. It makes SFxT look generous as hell. Do not want Capcom tempted by that. Plus it's not even fun. MK11 towers make SFV survival seem like a blast.

Just give a world tour mode with the same type of basic mechanics altering as SFA3 or the system menu in PS2 SF3 ports, and they're golden. It's all people want.

Yea, I always grip about this, lol.

Bring World Tour back and look at what MK does with their tower stuff. They could build a cool ass, fun mode with the ideas that NRS are doing and their own lineage with World Tour.

I hope with whatever the last iteration of SFV is, they do an Omega mode-like mode at least (like SF4).

2n2:

I hear ya. I have MK11 right now, lol.

Capcom can do the tower stuff, without the mobile game bull shit, haha.

The towers themselves and gameplay variations contained within are fun. The mtx system that is running along with the towers and their designed unlock system is stupid.

The MK towers themselves (not thinking about the unlock system or micro-transtions) are dumb fun. World tour mode could have certain cities you travel to and you have to do these dumb tower challenges to get into the city.

idk, in my brain, I am thinking of the street fighter characters existing inside a Hunter x Hunter like world, lol.

But yea, World Tour Mode as a base.

A qaenv5 build was added to Steam yesterday: https://steamdb.info/app/310950/depots/?branch=qaenv5 There was some speculation by X-Kira that each qaenv build number was basically a test build for the upcoming season, but in the case of qaenv2, it was actually added after Season 2 had already started:

qaenv4: November 21, 2017 - V 4.000: December 17, 2018
qaenv3: May 29, 2017 - V 3.002: January 16, 2018
qaenv2: January 23, 2017 - V 2.000: December 20, 2016

qaenv2 and qaenv3 were also updated as recently as February, 2019, and I'm not sure why they would continue updating them if they were just test builds for previous seasons.

However, I'm choosing to disregard all logic and instead go wild with speculation for Season 5. Stealth 5-character dump after E3 to finish Season 4, then Super Street Fighter V: Type Console+α next January. Book it.
