Would they dare give this to Menat?
Search your heart. You know the answer.
Ha!
I don't care for loot boxes myself. As long as they're only for cosmetics and not gameplay matters (like actual moves and such), I can tolerate them.

If, on average, it took 10,000 FM to get a costume through the loot box system then I would be okay with that. Hell, maybe one time it only takes 5000, maybe another time it takes 15,000. That isn't awful. However, I assume it is going to take WAY more than that. Hopefully, onetime assets, like art, will be completely removed once you win them once. That would also make this more palatable. My hopes are not high...
They kinda like to cross-promote their new games in SFV (MHW, DMC5), if they go with RE costumes I think they'll release those 2 first:Would they dare give this to Menat?
And G is totally getting a Mr. X costume now that he has a hat
There are consumables in the loot boxes.
Sure, but there are also art assets. It would be nice if we didn't get any duplicates of those.
This is your monthly reminder that Resident Evil characters have perfect SF analogues for crossover costumes.
Ryu - Chris (calculated dark-haired heroes)
Ken - Leon (brash blonde heroes)
Chun-Li - RE1 Jill (headstrong female cops; Chun-Li also transforms into Jill in Pocket Fighter)
Cammy - RE5 Jill (brainwashed blonde femme fatales)
Nash - Wesker (bespectacled teleporters fueled by a mysterious energy) [Bison also works for similar reasons]
Abigail - Nemesis (massive villainous 'pursuers')
Sakura - Claire (searches for and closely associated with Ryu/Chris)

I think Rebecca is a better pick for Sakura. Aesthetically speaking, that is.
I don't see sakura as claire, especially the older one in revelations 2
Also Give me the Ed/ Jake skin stat
Oh, and Billy Coen already got a Cody alt, so it seems appropriate that Cody would get a Billy Coen alt. They also both have that heroic escaped prisoner thing going.
I Fang literally slings around filth that poisons people
is it that much worse? How much is your dignity worth, really if you playing fang?
Think of it like this.
Winning with Laura is like visiting a beautiful prostitute after a successful robbery.
Sure you have the amazing body of a beautiful woman in front of you to ease your mind but it doesnt take away the shame of the fact that you just committed robbery.
An genderswapped Ice Man costume would be cute for Kolin
I feel like the issue is is that luara players don't feel shame for committing the robbery
Also if laura is commiting a robbery, what the fuck is akuma? Or ibuki?
So how long until you can buy FM with real money? Seems like that's got to be the goal eventually.
They're adding some consumable items for survival called battle goods, and you can use up to five between rounds but being consumables they're one time use. There will be an option to have standard survival with only the base 16 characters, or random survival that features every character. They are adding an option to continue in survival if you lose, you pay 1000FM and get full health and meter stocks. V-Gauge also transfers between rounds now. You'll also be able to save your progress in survival at the end of each round, so you can quit out and continue whenever you want.
They're also adding lootboxes in the form of Menat fortune reading, where for 500FM a try, you can get battle goods, exclusive costumes, exclusive colours, and various art.
They haven't shown the extra battle schedule after Gloria in the blog post but her last piece is scheduled for 7/27 - 8/02.
Exactly. Only a specific type of person can play Laura.
Akuma is not robbery, he's just annoying. He's the guy who tells you he's gonna punch you and while you're still trying to process that statement since it came out of the blue, he punches you.
Ibuki is straight up gangster though.
I played the AI in fighting games way back when I was still in infant school and the Internet wasn't really a thing for playing them, but why would anyone want to do so today? Fighting games are one of the very few genres where playing an AI just doesn't work. In RTS's, you can still have a reasonable amount of fun messing with campaigns and skirmishes (you can spice things up by including campaign-only units, such as in Starcraft / SupCom), same for FPS's to an extent (the first thing I think about is UT2K4 because I played that a bunch before I managed to get a phone line installed). I can't really think of many ways to spice this up unlike these other two genres, maybe M.O.M. mode in Xrd, but I have never touched it, apparently you can just give yourself nutty abilities such as Pot Busters while playing Sol and so on.
In fact, I think Xrd did the whole single-player thing the best because it didn't interrupt the *cough* plot with an AI fight every 5 minutes. You just sit and watch the silly story until you get bored and do something else. In fact, I don't think I ever did a single character story in SF4 in its entire lifetime, I just watched the anime cut-scenes on YouTube. I did them in SFV just because you get FM and unlock the costume for purchase, and thank the lord they only take a few minutes each to blitz through.

A few months ago I said they'd never add loot boxes to the game because they don't have enough content. I guess capcom agreed and were just like "Hey, 30th anniversary team, lemme get some of dat art work real quick"
Damn that Air Man costume gonna be the best in the game.
Also im glad they finally try to fix survival mode.

*does a virtually unreactable EX dolphin dive in your face*
*randomly bullhorns you*
*does no work and just presses godlike buttons*
Yes. Wholesome.
That Air Man. Out of the blue (quite literally). As a Rashid player, it's a must have.
The lootbox stuff is shittier than shit, though.

The thing is... even if it isn't shittier than shit, which it likely will be, it is still a bad move. Even if this ends up being fairly generous, it is still bad for the optics. People are quite simply fed up with loot boxes right now. Capcom is pretty bad at reading the room sometimes...
Damn.Blanka in Top 5 for win rates and Sakura and Falke are the BOTTOM TWO.Fug. What happened to Season 3?
TBH everyone on that list is fraudulent until Balrog.

For absolutely no reason other than seeing this and being reminded of Mega Man Powered Up, I want Nash in a Time Man costume now, in addition to Ice Woman Kolin
This feels like someone decided a year ago that they should have this feature, and noone stepped in and removed it. I'm pretty sure Capcom isn't doing agile development...
No. No. Please don't.
I'm fucking tired of fighting Pakistani Mikas. Salman and Amuuu are enough.
Blanka is in a different level of stupid compared to Online Ken.
I must be the only one who's winning with Cammy in the past couple of weeks.
tbh I don't mind this Fortune thing seeing as I have more than enough Fight Money now that Capcom have just stopped making stages.
But hey, we get shitty crossover costumes so it's all OK! /s
