I think at mid-level Silver/Gold tier play it can be pretty useful in the sense that you can use the grounded dash variant to dash in, land a throw and then gain control of them on wake-up, and it can be used to extend combos in some cool ways, but it's nowhere near as versatile as VT1. I don't think it's useless though, just deeply situational.
Makes sense
Bottom right seems appropriate considering she'll be younger in SFV like Urien, Alex and Ibuki. It would make for a good default that sets her apart from Ibuki while still reminding us she is in school (same one as Ibuki?).With the discussions I've seen around FM I'd say good will perception isn't how I'd describe the system, but there are differences to consider given how games have changed and in how they're supported. If you went the spending route they've offered up costumes with season passes (along with the nostalgia and 30th anniversary packs for pre-orders), and have had bundles with discounts, so I don't think they're being stringent with them.
I mean it could be looked at in a vacuum, and yes, SF4 had cheaper costume packs. But at least for me, most SF4 stuff looked terrible, alt costumes included. I'm not saying that these should be more expensive because the assets are higher quality and require more effort and that as a consumer one should keep in mind, but in terms of what sways me at least, I've found myself buying individual ones in 5 more than I did packs in 4 just because they've just been all around better realized and they're all in an impulse purchase range.
But what it really comes down to is that just given the contemporary space in the genre, you don't even really see alt costumes offered, let alone ones to be competitive in pricing, so I just look at it as it is. $4 for a costume ain't gonna kill me for a thing if I like it.
Though I'm part of the problem, I buy Chun-Li costumes and don't even play her. :V
I've always been fond of the top right concept they had for her from SF4. Though I wouldn't want it presented in a fan service-y way.
I bought a couple alternate stage backgrounds and Akuma's stage + some colors for Bison and Nash, but I haven't bought any costumes yet.
I did buy Nash's story costume, I hope I eventually learn him like I planned to. (All with fight money, bought season 1 & 2 at discount).
$4 sucks sure, but I don't feel the urge to buy every costume for every character especially if I don't even use that character or ever even intend to.
Just resist that urge fellas. Sure, I like Sakura's nostalgia costume, but I'm sure as fuck not gonna buy it unless I'm gonna play as her regularly.
I dunno maybe some of you have more throw away money than I do? I try not to piss my money away, but then again I buy stupid shit on the reg, so who am I to talk?

I purchased all the SFIV costume bundles, sure some would have been purchased on sale, but I believe I have them all on PC & 360. I have purchased a few in SFV, but no where near as many, it was crazy they didn't at least do a 2017 Halloween or Holiday costume bundle.
I have to wonder what is going to happen with new costumes this year, since the ones in the Extra battle mode seem so good surely that will have a knock on effect on the premium ones.

I see where you're coming from but in the current games market I think they have to price competitively I'm afraid. The premium costumes in SFV are also very high quality in comparison to past games so I don't think comparing them on a one to one basis makes sense. We can obtain characters, stages, story and Extra Battle costumes for free so I don't mind sacrificing premium costume prices in order for this to happen.
I was thinking about that, I'm ok with paying around 100 $ per game if the base game is good and the content to my liking, I just really don't like the way they're doing this, earning stuff with FM is cool, but charging even for basic colors is not. I think they rectified that a bit with newer content and season passes, but it's still somewhat present and really strikes me the wrong way, meaning I'll just buy as little as possible consequently.

I haven't seen it posted here (sorry if it was and I missed it), CapcomUnity made a 1hour long Blanka showcase on twitch yesterday:
After watching some of that Blanka footage, I wonder: what would Honda be like if he were to be added? Blanka has a throw which was one of Honda's defining features, and he has been slowed down so the distinction "Blanka fast / Honda slow" is harder to make...
Was his omega very different? A lot of armor moves, maybe? But then, what does he have that makes him different from Abigail?

One of Honda's biggest attributes was his ability to dish out big chunks of chip damage. At least, I remember him doing that.
Player match against ABIGAIL, I completely dominate him, end of first round "error 10004".
Ok.
Ok.
I think this'd be a cool way of doing Honda in SF5. Give all of his moves high amounts of grey life damage, but then give him a V-Skill that's very easy to land, does little actual damage but can act as a 'converter' to turn the chip into real damage. So then his flow becomes pressure/grey life damage >> V Skill. Or maybe he only has that high grey life pressure when he's in V-Trigger, something like that.
Capcom doesn't have the best track record here. For starters, season 1 DLC characters still aren't part of survival mode. On the other hand, it would be ridiculous not to be able to play as the new DLC characters in Arcade mode.
I couldn't help thinking of FANG reading that game plan.
Well, at least FANG's VT2 is usable now.
Indeed it would be beyond ridiculous to have Sagat in the game, and him not being the final boss of the SF1 Arcade path...
What characters actually have two viable v-triggers now? And I don't mean useable, I mean v-triggers that you would choose over the other for a specific matchup? F.A.N.G. seems like one, Akuma, Urien. and Guile off the top of my head.
Abigail's VT2 is good, but even before the recent "fixes" to it, I didn't really see a need to pick it over VT1. Alex's VT2 is alright in a vaccuum, but losing the parry is just too much of a negative. Plus it drains super fast.

Seems fine to me and there's only one PC player I've heard complain about it and his credibility is... low.
After nearly a year, I've reached the conclusion that Kolin's theme is another SFV banger.
Also the full version of Blanka's new theme goes into some rad percussion territory eventually.

The biggest problem with Honda now is that he literally has only two things left that feel unique to him, and neither of these things are gameplay related. The fact that he's a sumo wrestler and the fact that he's a World Warrior. Dassit.
Gameplay wise, his niche really is covered wholly between Necalli and Alex and now characters like Blanka are making his inclusion seem even more pointless.
At this rate if Honda did make it in, he'd get either a drastic change to his moveset or they'll simply go the Menat route of introducing a similar character with "ties" to Honda but one that plays ultimately quite differently. I wouldn't mind the second approach.

She's the Queen for a reason.
Time to reveal Honda's daughter, the next sumo, she'll break twigs like Menat over her mighty knee.
I would actually be SO in for this, you have no idea. Not only does it fix the monopoly SNK have on female sumo characters in fighting games, it gives them the chance to play around with Honda's moveset without having to be bridled by expectations for his moveset or "legacy" requirements.
If you've already done story mode, you already accumulated up most of the fast FM. If you haven't done so already, do Survival easy mode. You should be able to finish for each character in about five minutes and depending on their current XP, the level up rewards should net you some FM. Assuming most of the characters in your roster are in the low teens, you should get another 28,000-60,000 FM.
Also a potentially unique female character visual for the series.
I feel like a sumo based character should be focused around pressuring your foe to the screens edge, so basically I'm asking that this hypothetical character brings back that deft toe movement action from SF2 Turbo hundred hand slap.
And a sumo ring stage (in a seedy back alley for STREET FIGHTING) with transitions like the original SFV stages it makes too much sense.
SF stealing the sumo girl character from TK would be really cool and a fresh take on the archtype since all of the other alternatives are boring af.
She'd have to actually be overweight, though, or at least have very massive muscle like Honda. None of that Ganmi-chan bs or whatever the fuck KoF tried to do there.
There would be one thing fundamentally different, at least, which is that with the poison there's actually a reward for hitting someone then playing keep away, as the damage tick-down continues until they land a hit on you. With Honda, you could make it more of the opposite, because with the grey life thing you'd have to always remain in their face at all times in order to stop it from recovering. It's the inverse of the poison mechanic.
That could work. Maybe they could give him a V-Skill that has something to do with his salt throwing. When active he does twice(or x3) the grey health he normally does. That would help put this opponents in a panic state over potential damage if utilized properly, leading to mistakes and punishes. The grey health would have to be a notable amount, otherwise you will end up with another FANG situation where no one even cares unless they are at 5% health already.
Capcom should capitalize on the SFV command grab meme and remove Honda's when he gets into the game.
Is there a fight money guide for Arcade edition struggling to get 100k all characters stories already used up
OP

I made this for the OP, but it's only relevant if you're new to SFV:
(the weekly part is outdated, it's more like 3500 now)
If you've already exhausted most avenues and have already spent that FM you only have the weekly missions and weekend shadaloo solider challenges to look forward to.
Play everyone's easy survival modes, too. View all of the demonstrations.
