Case in point: Konami remade a ton of MGS3 assets for their pachislot. No MGS3 remake in sight.

They are barely even lootboxes, directly effect only one already underused mode and cannot be purchased with real money. Unless this shop gets a big push I dont see this getting as bad as some of you think its going to get.
Because ignoring DLC/nickle and dime schemes always makes them go away. Capcom knows what they're doing. This Menat loot box shit is lightweight, absolutely, but capcom will keep track of this "it's not THAT bad, guys" mode and learn how to make actual money off of it for SF6. "Barely" loot boxes? Come on, man. It is a mode in which you "pay" to get random drops. And with all the FM draining for season 3, that's what capcom is banking on. They want you to pay for the season pass and use what little FM you have to play these dumb fucking loot boxes.
It's clear as day.
I honestly have no problems with the changes they are making.
The only problem I have is changing the one-time payouts (back before arcade edition.)

It's not just survival mode boosters, but also costumes only available in those loot boxes. Any FM I blow trying to get them is real money I will have to spend instead because I wasted the fake money, so the end result is costing me to gamble for what I want.
If you were talking about content that is not at all purchasable with real money like the randomized shop items in DBZ, then the "it's not real money" point would be more solid.
I'm not sure why people are acting like FM has no relation to real money. That's exactly why people like it. 500k FM saves you about $30 on characters. Wouldn't you say 500k FM is worth about $30 to you?
And then we don't even know the odds of what youre going to get nor do we know if those odds are fixed or Capcom adjusts them on the fly. How much FM are you gonna end up burning up to get anything you want out of that system?
Capcom probably sees this and gets that feeling when you're playing some dude and think "I know you're going to jump...ahhh, you jumped! got em."
I'm going. It looks like I can select quantities but not varied sizes...I'm grabbing a L size. If that's good for you, I can grab one for you.
Edit: I know some people going from here too. I can ask them and maybe we can do some different sizes. Lemme talk to them.
So they just need to remove the ability to make FM allow you to purchase DLC to make it okay?
Thanks! That would be awesome. A large would work fine for me.
Tips to earn the Platinum trophy:
Have a free weekend - Go to Hell Survival - Pick Rashid - Put Nerwork fight request as ON to both Casual and Ranked, with setting to Ask instead of Automatic. Heavy Spike, jump back HK. Pick double downs in the first 10 stages, then atk/def up on tough matchups and health regen when needed. You won't ace this the first time around. It will take you a few tries. I think I failed about 6-8 times over a week before I got it.
Funny part is even after level 90 you will perfect most opponents with the Eagle spike strat. There are 6 characters who you need to be afraid of - Ryu, Ken, Rashid himself, Fang, Necalli, and Bison. The other 10 are free as fuck
Only noticed after your quoted post.

Huh. I definitely typed Mika instead of Laura there. Weird

But a lot of your complaints towards FM seem to be around the eventuality of running out of FM to get DLC free with and resorting to paying for it, equating FM to real money instead of an optional bonus method not seen in other games. If not, what's the issue?
Let me try to explain better.
Running out of FM is going to happen if you use it on content. No issue there. If they put up content you can use FM to purchase directly, that's cool. That should be what it's for.
Boring grinding of un-fun modes is an annoyance, but ultimately comes with the territory.
My issue is the use of modes designed to artificially deplete your resources faster to get you to the point of spending real money. I don't appreciate those tactics, especially when I already buy the season passes (and I can't use that content I bought with other accounts on the same system in my house.)
The extra battles, I'm not fond of for that reason, but I still can deal.
What I really don't like are randomized loot box gambling-style hooks. They, by design, are there to manipulate you to overspend. My point above is that I don't think the fact that FM is not technically a real currently or directly purchased with money lets them off the hook for loot box exclusive content (costumes). FM is still a virtual currency used for purchasing in leiu of spending real money, even if you have to earn it not buy it. Capcom attributed some semblance of monetary value to FM when they make a piece of content purchasable for either $2 or 40k FM. You can't act like FM has no monetary significance yet proclaim that FM is great because it got you a bunch of characters for free that you otherwise would have had to pay for. The only real case where FM is completely throw-away without potentially impacting what you spend out of pocket would be if you have absolutely no desire to purchase any cosmetic content and have more than enough for the characters you want
tldr: Loot box exclusive costumes with no direct FM or $-purchasable option is shitty.
Lootboxes suck, no question, but that's a separate issue from FM. With no direct purchase towards them though you just knock out your weeklies and spend them on those if you want. It's still sounding that ultimately the nature of having FM unlock things you'd otherwise pay for is the main sticking point here, as without that, you'd just buy them as you would normally, and then you have this extra funny money to spend on colours and extras. It's an issue of perception with the melding of things that have a monetary attribution to them, and those without.
Nope, every difficulty counts as its own independent victory. Likely because of the rewards associated with each level.
FM acquisition methods are a separate issue, but loot boxes are inherently tied into FM depletion issues when they cost FM to open.
At the end of the day your FM balance is the pool of fake currency you have before you have to spend real money, regardless of how you got it. As I said, I got no issues spending all my FM, running out, and then spending real money. I've actually spent real money on stages and I left excess FM I could have used on those stages just in case I wanted colors. But it feels real shitty if you are driven to that point not by them putting out good content you buy normally but by a randomized (or not so randomized) mechanism like loot boxes designed to make you waste it.
If that doesn't make sense, we may just have a fundamentally different view on this.
No question, lootboxes are bad and this couldn't be a more poorly timed addition. If this is a lootbox thing, that's one thing, if it's FM as a whole, that's another. I was just curious as I've seen you criticize the system multiple times in the past prior to this.
A follow-up question, what is your opinion on DBFZ's capsule system?
I found it more tedious than fun and had to resort to a story-mode credit farming method to get the colors I wanted.
I prefer more straight forward ways to unlock content as basic as colors in fighting games if they're going to do it.
Juri doesn't look too bad in SFIV (she is probably one of the better-animated characters in that game), but she is SO much better in SFV. Just look at that backdash... in SFIV it is fine, but it is awesome in SFV.
KI has been lag free so far, 3 days in NOT A SINGLE LAGGY MATCH, feels like i am offline...Capcom need to ask Iron Galaxy their secret to Netcode...
It's funny when I got called out on Twitch for 2-0 a GM Birdie 3 times with my bottom 5 Cammy.
I'm surprised you got a match at all after only looking for 3 days
I am playing with friends, One close to me, another is in Atlanta, and Cali...
I've heard a few people in various places over the months talking about how easy Abigail is to play with, but not saying anything about Guile, Akuma, Cammy, etc. I couldn't imagine playing Abigail in a tourney setting against some top 5 character. I mean, people who are great with him still drop his combos more often than other characters. I'd he really that rest to play as? I find stuff with Guile and Akuma way easier to do and generally more safe, and I don't play with either outside of random select with friends.
Barely? You pay a fee to get few randomized cosmetics that you can only get that way. It is straight up a lootbox. Maybe not as bad as something other companies do but it is still a lootbox.
This inclusion is stupid and totally unneccessary. There is no reason why all of these couldn't just be bought from a store instead of having to pay random value.
Season 3.5 Abigail is not the threat he was in S2 and S3. His usage rate dropped dramatically ever since the nerfs, and he's not an easy character to perform well with (I would argue he never really was, but now the flaws really shine).
This may be dumb question but if I was gifted a code from the arcade edition (buddy hated the game). I assume I won't get any sort of refund in the FM I spent on various characters, etc right?
That would be awesome, but you would have to ship to the UK
