I also suggest to be aware that every month or so in Extra Battle mode they include a golden/silver Shadaloo soldier fight that gives you extra FM.
When you also completed all the basic FM sources including the weekly missions (many Trials and higher Survival difficulties are too hard for me) I also suggest to play ranked online battles with the characters that are closer to level up. You can check out how close each character is to level up in one of the many statistics that appear in the player profile menu that appears when pressing the Square (in PS4) button in the main menu.
Also remember that by playing Survival Mode and in Fighting Chance you earn bonus items for the Survival Mode. I suggest you to save them for later and slowly farm them in order to use them for when you want to try some hard or extreme difficulty Survival Mode.
I don't remember to listen XKira saying that.
Back in late February I analized all QA server updates until then since 26/09/17 (oldest day I could track), I just updated it until today:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MvS2koGXjXpcil1VmANJRNn7SzdDyEijAV9drFfYf-w/edit?usp=sharing
As you can see there both qaenv5 and qaenv_test_siri5 were created in 25/05/18, same they they removed qaenv_test_siri_e. Then they removed qaenv5 and and qaenv_test_siri5 in 07/06/18. They did remove a server and added it again later many times before.
Since 26/09/17 they periodically updated qaenv2, qaenv3 and qaenv4 many times as they did with many other servers during all seasons. For each major update, they periodically updated qaenv or qaenv2 different times and frequently after that qaenv3. Sometimes, qaenv4. In the most recent builds they don't use qaenv anymore. And sometimes don't even use qaenv2.
They are not related to seasons.
No, they are different servers for testing, each one with a Steam version of the game under development. That code also includes basically the same than

qaenv4 was actually listed as early as November of 2017, so I agree that they're probably not directly associated with seasons. But then again, X-Kira is the one who supposedly has access to the QA builds, so maybe he knows something we don't.
been playing MK11
it has Krushing Blows which are p much Crush Counters
with the difference you only get one (1) per match, and that there's a control setting that lets you keep a button pressed to activate them when they meet the conditions, and they don't trigger otherwise
feel that would fix a lot wrong with Crush Counters

Please check the google doc I linked to compare the creation, updates and removal of these servers to the game updates.
"test380", "test390" etc seem to be the builds they have ready to release to the game, notice that they traditionally delete these ones the same day of a game update. As if they don't need them anymore, so likely to include this version to be released that day. Sometimes it's a few days later.
As an example, in the example you provide he says in September, "test380" was the last game client uploaded during the season 3: it was the one that hours later unlocked Kage and the other S4 content in December. "test390" was already there as they mention but notice XKira says that the last S3 client isn't test390, but it's test380 instead. So he nailed it several months before.
Regarding the qaenv/qaenv_siri/qaenv_test_siri, or qaenv2/qaenv_siri2/qaenv_test_siri2, or qaenv3/qaenv_siri3/qaenv_test_siri3, qaenv4/qaenv_siri4/qaenv_test_siri4 (or 5 too) they seem to be Q&A environment servers, where they test the stuff that currently is under development.
Notice unlike the servers named "testXXX", the qaenv servers get updated several times between game updates. This seems to indicate that they upload here a version to test it, they find some bugs, and if needed to fix them and update it later with a new version and continue in loop until they have a bug free game update ready. Once they have it, then they upload it to a "testXXX" server and remains there until the planned release day (not sure if they have to submit to Sony to follow a certification process at least for the full client update builds, but it's very likely and this may require weeks).
Until that day, they continue using the qaenv servers to test future builds that will be released later. Notice in my google doc, when XKira and this guy were talking the test380 and test390 were already uploaded. So they would be working in the qaenv servers on the next one, the first one of the S4/400 series. Instead of being named test400, months later it ended released as test420 because it was going to be the v4.020 version (but had to include a last minute patch so ended being v4.021).
There seems to be a pattern there, but it isn't exact science. As an example, instead of having "test440" (free trial version) for the recently released v4.040 they had "test3110", the one they did use in the last free trial version back in December. Aaand notice they also have "test3110_2" (such a random lazy coder name) active since February 26th, day they released the CPT 2019 content. So maybe it includes the remaining CPT costume, but they already did use "test3110_2" the day released Season 4 (added and removed it the same day), the day they removed the "test380" build they had there uploaded for months.
Regarding qaenv4 as you can see in my google doct it was created in March 30th, 2018 and it has been updated like 10 time since then with different versions.

Crush counters aren't good enough for the majority of characters to make getting only one per match make sense to me
Controversial opinion but crush counters aren't that bad anymore outside a select few characters having super dumb buttons
I'm actually really gonna miss Crush Counters after we leave SFV. There's something so satisfying about that unique sound effect, that spark explosion, that painful flinch, and that freeze-frame. It's a great theatrical effect.
I play 3S a lot, and I REALLY miss crush counters every time I punish a Ken DP in that game. It's such a distinct mechanic and I think it'll be looked back on fondly in the future.

Wow, another 11 DLC packages added to Steam just an hour ago: https://steamdb.info/app/310950/dlc/
That's 18 new DLC packages within the last 24 days. Could just be more character costume bundles, but Dhalsim still only has that one extra Halloween costume, lol.

Except the final S3 client was v3.110, which introduced ads and had the placeholders for Kage. And there was a v3.100 before that, which was an in-game download. From what I can tell, they only do testXXX builds on Steam whenever there's a major update that changes the main files. There were never test400, test410, test430 or test440 builds because those were in-game PAK downloads and not major updates. PAK updates are downloaded through Capcom's servers, so they don't have to deal with Steam, hence no corresponding testXXX builds on Steam.
I don't give a fuck about new characters. How about Capcom add these to the game?
Crush counters are similar to counters in Garou; in garou a counter hit would juggle or stun an opponent depending on the attack.
Well the mechanic just reminds of how Garou handles counter hits.
SFV is def not the only game with a special counter hit mechanic, but Crush Counters are such a core part of the game's strategy, presentation, and feel. It's a defining feature of the game. If I had to think of a defining feature from Garou it would be TOP or Just Defend.
Ah in that case i see what you mean.
The sfx od the crush counter is indeed satisfying too.
Crush counters are awesome. They feel and sound good. I like the system in place now for the most part.
"CC" was a feature that was mechanic in the Alpha games.
I do like the Defense/Offense meter. Wake up roll and Get up attacks are like V-Reversals but they actually work.

So now there are 23 unreleased and unnamed Steam items. They may be very likely costume bundles (make sure we'll get summer/halloween/Christmas 2019 bundles). In-game they added placeholders for like a year of crossover costumes in Extra Battle and the next 5 DLC characters so maybe they also added now all the related Crossover bundles planned for this year in addition to the 2020 CPT/summer/halloween/Christmas.
If not, looking at previous examples they may be CPT bundles, a season pass, stage bundles, OST downloads (they did different ones for SFV and SFVAE) or a general story expansion (if they plan to release SSFV or similar later this year they also would release its OST and maybe a general story or similar expansion). It would be nice to add color bundles too.
As I mentioned before, they did use "testV3110" both back in December (ads update) and now in April (most recent update) to introduce free trial version. "testV3110" did have the Kage placeholders but not Kage content, which was added and unlocked with "test380" (a.k.a. game version v4.00).
Regarding what you say about test400, test410, test430 or test440 yep it makes sense.
Yeah CCs are great. I wish MK11 put more into the Krushing Blows because they are way more fun and satisfying than the Fatal Blows.
OP

I'm a sad-ass Ed player and I love the crush counter mechanic in SFV. It's input feedback perfection, satisfying every single time.
Yea, I like the krushing blows more than the fatal blows right now. I wish they were on more moves than they are now.
WydD posted an article yesterday describing the research he did on the interactions between Critical Art moves and the damage scaling system in SFV. He did an excellent job laying out all the details: https://medium.com/@WydD/deep-dive-into-the-sfv-guts-487d2d4d2c7f
I went back to SFV today for the first time since MK11 came out, and literally the first thing I did was press b+MK to try to do a sweep. Meanwhile, in MK11 I'm constantly pressing down to recover. I don't know how some pro players can become so proficient at more than one fighting game.
Pretty fascinating, thanks for the link! No wonder it always feels like Chun's CA does so little damage. And I remember commentators always joking that the answer to "Is Karin's CA going to kill?" is always "Yes."
Disagree on the message, but hard-ass agree on the costumes
as long as Juri is barefoot.
Seriously, this is an underappreciated skill. After a long Street Fighter 3rd Strike session, any attempt to play another 2D fighting game will result in me getting hit trying to parry something.
You somehow chose the only bad costume she has to parade as her best.
Going from 3S to SFV back-to-back feels weird, but for some reason going from SFV to 3S back-to-back makes 3S feel sooooo easy.
It's a shame that NRS are being called out for MK11 for being grindy while SFV made changes that made the FM economy fucked and being ignored.
1k FM from challenges and 50FM from winning online matches to unlock characters and stages that cost 40k-100k FM

They know damn well what they're doing
And barefoot Ibuki = best Ibuki >:D
So, this guy got added to the CFN website, and I can't for the life of me remember seeing it in any stage, background, setting or otherwise:
https://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column/132734
Is he from the American cartoon like the previous character?

SFV is currently on sale on the PSN. And since I own a disc version I'd love to update it do a digital one. Also have a lot of DLC for it like all 3 season passes e.g.
But I don't know if the base game would be enough to upgrade or do I need the Arcade Edition? Hope somebody knows.

The base game should be enough in theory, as the Arcade Edition is literally the base game bundled with the first two season passes.
It's not a shame. Both should be called out. MK is more popular than SF nowadays. MKX sold 11 million copies. There's a brighter light on that series.
They've never been called out for reducing the amount of FM earned as well as completing SP content. Jim Sterling called them out for the "lootbox" but that's it. Everything else is back when the game first released.
