I would take that.
Man I'm having such a character crisis right now... goddamn. Just moving from character to character.
The hyperbole is real. Capcom released the previous title of SF in arcade because arcades in Japan were alive and kicking back then. Since then, they were slowly becoming a thing of the past so there's nothing "shameless" about it. If they were, they would have continued to rob money off of people by releasing a new game of SF every year, isolate players online, and charge for balance/feature/gameplay updates.
She's not hard, relative to other fighting games. She just doesn't have anything she really excels at.
Going start back with menat as a back up for my karin .
Not like it really matter for online play since most of my games laggy in some way .

They're not a thing of the past in Japan, the lack of an Arcade version is a real issue and they've been testing the literal Arcade Edition. (There's a reason Sakura literally works in one and Blanka is a crane game plushy)
What I'm saying is it's not a strong scene as it used to be and day-by-day, even in Japan, arcades seem to be getting less popular. If SFV does get an arcade release there I definitely think it will help but not as much as we think. Speaking of Sakura.
Maybe that was the case in previous seasons.
NOT ANY-FUCKING-MORE. FANG is his own character now.
I aknowledge the popularity of arcades back then as the main factor the games shipped before to the machines, but that still doesn't change the fact SFIV was on console with a proper amount of content while SFV didn't, which is my point. The arcade and console experiences are highly different. As a casual player it's easy to identify the competitive nature of the arcade, which is more of an "experience" than a "product" in itself, because you're not entitled to play it whenever you want at your home, but for the casual player, that's where the appeal lies, and most of them are not even competitive or want said experience, which is why it's meaningless to point out what Capcom did for the competitive community at least to me, even though I recognize these changes as positive, don't misunderstand me, I like a lot of things that changed from SFIV to SFV. But just to keep it in perspective that I talk as a casual player that enjoys varied content and not really technical varied outcomes of the competitive scene. And talking about content, objectivelly, I still paid $60 in both games with a very different reception.
I'm looking at red bull cans but don't see any street fighter how do I know which ones will have a code under the tab?
And if you play as Sakura she walks out of the background to start the fight. And if it's a mirror match then Dan is an NPC and looks confused.
Make a segment in EVO featuring dogs a la the puppy bowl or something. And watch that ad money come rolling in baby.
The other option is just to require real money for characters, isn't it? That's what those other games did. Getting them for free is obviously a better option. Of course, many other games, MK and Injustice included, also give you a larger starting roster. But I don't think most games give you updates of the caliber of Arcade Edition for free.
They're specially labeled with a Street Fighter character and the 30th anniversary logo. I think they may be harder to come by now because I haven't been seeing them when I've gone to Walmart and Publix during the past week. They look like this:
Lol dammit I'm at a Walmart right now a d the glass on the red bull display has a street fighter red bull ad but none of the cans inside are the street fighter ones. :(They're specially labeled with a Street Fighter character and the 30th anniversary logo.

Free with no strings attached, yes. Not necessarily in reality. It depends on your purchase habits, users in your household, amount of free time, raised DLC prices to compensate,etc. It's not universally better for everyone if it comes with some baggage.
What KI did was include the updates as part of the season. So a season pass would include all the characters, stages, costumes, and game modes.
I played through some of the new modes last night.
Let me see if my facts are correct:
*You don't get any FM or even EXP for beating any Arcade modes.
*The rewards from the EX Battles are RNG dependant, you may not get what you want.
*The rewards from the weeklies are less than before.
Is this accurate? Because I am shocked there isn't a big hoopla over the EX Battles since they are just a small downgrade from actual lootboxes. In the case of the Shin Akuma, it's a lootbox that you can actually fail meaning you can pour thousands of FM down the toilet. EX Battles are pretty much heavy FM sinks. Arcade modes are just a waste of time, I can look up the art online.
Also why do most of the new VT have command dashes? Is that the new hotness now? And God damn everything is so gold.... It's so garish at this point.

I am disappointed you get no FM for arcade mode at all, since that's 90% of how I spend my time playing the game.
Extra Battle rewards are not RNG. You get the listed rewards but the game specifies you only get one reward at a time so you will have to clear the challenge a second time for the second reward, a third time for the third reward and so on.
Nope.
They're RNG dependent in the sense that you have to win them to get the reward, yes.
Yes but look at the picture above.
I think it's worse in many ways unless you play the game a ton and specifically go out of your way to get fm or you're a casual player. Not to mention that now the amount of fm you can get per week is smaller than its ever been. Fact of the matter is that an overwhelming amount of people will be buying the season pass and not getting every character for free through fm. Altogether the price you pay for buying the season passes is much higher than the SF4 model...and you get less characters and no stages to boot.
In the 2 years the SFV has been out Ive already spent more money on it than SF4 and for much less content.
I still can't believe they buffed Abigail. I already thought he was strong last season, and they made his s.mk, s.fp, c.fp and running punch all better. The v-trigger scaling nerf hurts him, no more insane 80% damage combos, but I think the trade-off is worth it.
I haven't played SFV that much. I bought it for $30 (right before it dropped to $20) after Akuma came out. I've bought six characters and an extra costume with FM. So far it's a lot cheaper than the vanilla SFIV, SSFIV, AE and Ultra versions I bought last gen. I guess your mileage is gonna vary.
I feel like taking away FM has removed so much motivation for me to play this game, and this is a guy who played a ton of Vanilla. I know you get FM through level ups but the way they keep track of how much EXP to level up is so ambiguous that it makes it seem not worthwhile.
I like the concept around arcade mode but not having any rival battles, intros, and so on is kind of annoying (I get these are kind of fulfilled through the character stories, but it still feels so detached). The entire thing feels like they just smashed a bunch of fights together and called it a day; honestly, if I wanted that I would've just done survival mode. I feel like making a really well defined single arcade mode would have been a much better idea than trying to do these branches for each game in the franchise, I really didn't think they needed to do that.

Like I said, if you're a casual player then the model is fine. I think the solution to appease everyone would have been to let anyone be able to select a dlc character as an opponent to practice against in training mode. That way you dont feel forced to get the season pass just so you can test stuff against a DLC character.
It doesn't work in VT2 because (I think) it has more recovery after you activate. You can still do it in VT1 though!
Edit: Actually you can still teleport behind in VT2 but the DP will whiff, maybe it just needs the buffed VT1 DP to connect.

I think it's just covered in plastic wrap to protect it from the dog playing with it.
After reinstalling SFV and rebooting my Computer. There's definitely a problem with the LOD with Metro City Bay Stage. It's not a problem when playing in Training or Versus (Didn't check Online) but once I head into SF1 Arcade Mode as Zeku, the LOD starts going nuts and my FPS dropping.
Lol ah yeah you're right, in VT2 it's got to be EX DP. Either way I'm glad it's still in, it's an ultimately useless combo but it's one of my favourites, so stylish.
Also:
If you complete character story mode or survival in offline mode, you do not get any fight money even if you log back in.
Especially if you make the mistake of completing characters or main story mode offline, you've wasted FM forever
Yep.
I copped this due to Arcade and Sakura. Now with Arcade outta here, with the less FM, geez. Capcom royally fucked up lol.
Somebody needs to make a thread on this within the next few hours. I'm at work so I can't do it but someone else should. If not, I'll do it when I get home because it needs to be talked about.
