The highest I got on hard Survival was 32 and then the servers went down. This was awhile back but I don’t got it in me no more to do it over. If Capcom let us buy the colors I pay if not I guess I won’t be using colors 7-10 for any characters. Cammy and Chun are just way to annoying to play against.
I will never give then a penny for colors fair amounts of fm or gtfo
I finally got Fang’s hard colors last night, and failed more times than I’d like to admit. I wish I spent that time getting better at the game instead.
And damn was it a struggle with Fang…
I tried Chun-Li again. Got to Bison on level 34 I think but had to use the player search ‘cheat’ to get another chance after losing about 80% life. Played a casual match against a Ken who hit me with way too much stupid stuff because I was still in Survival Mode. Then he taunted, I got mad, lost to him and subsequently lost to CPU Bison as well. I’m surprised no PS4 hardware was damaged in the process.
I’d rather buy colours for 10.000FM each than do this stuff ever again.
It makes me feel sad how much I agree with this. It sucks that they put most of the best colors behind Hard Survival. I might go through Hard/Hell with Ken for the trophies, but after a bunch of attempts Hard with Nash, I just don’t want to do it anymore. The fact that they don’t reward you at all for even getting close just pisses me off.
I got to number 40 on survival mode once but for some reason I haven’t been able to get past 20 since , I just go into zombie mode and fall asleep on the stick
waiting till march before messing with trainers tbh
unlocking colors in survival mode is the least fun i have ever had with a street fighter game.
I can’t get past karin at #40 I just can’t 
this is so freaking frustrating
I had 2 tries with Birdie on normal, went through no problem until Bison then got rekt, took a few days off from trying. Today I did it once and had four perfects and made Bison lie down like a punk. Then I looked at the other colors and grumbled.
I got the normal colors of whoever I wanted; made 3 attempts with the characters I wanted hard on; failed on all of them and moved on. Tearing your hair out so that your character is a certain color isn’t worth.
Though; in 3s, if my Sean wasn’t White over Black; I lost every time.
20 or so tries on hard with laura and I’m just fucking done. Guess I’ll have to use orange instead of black.
I gave hard one last try with Charlie, level 40 something the AI went Daigo Umehara on my ass. I’m done, I’m about to pull my hair out. This is the most ridiculous fucking thing I had to do in a video game to unlock colors. I’m gonna wait for the March update/news and if Capcom doesn’t change anything I’m using a trainer. If they ban me then fuck them, I didn’t pay for the game in the first place.
I legit want capcom to put AI Bison and AI Chun into a tournament so we can see how far they get.
Yeah, I’m definitely going to be waiting to see how future updates change this although I might do all characters on Normal at the very least (since there’s no Arcade mode). It really bugs me that each alt. costume requires this! This is NOT sustainable and has to change, right? Right…?
I don’t remember SFIV being anywhere near this grindy for their costume colors.
LOL. The first time I ever encountered a “smart” Zangief was actually level 27 or so on Normal, the first time I had attempted Normal. I had no idea what was going on either. The funny thing though is that he hasn’t done that since, even on Hard.
What I hate is grinding Hard only to consistently get demolished at 42 by super berserk Laura. The only times I get beyond her is when the game just suddenly decides to go into ditz mode. Then there’s the issue of Vega. Sometimes he’s the stupidest AI there is, and then at other times the switch flips and he counter hits everything, or blocks everything. I fought the lvl 30 Vega with 60% defense and nearly full health and almost died. Then again at 47 with 60% defense and didn’t get a single hit in.
TBH, I sometimes wonder if the AI switches behaviours depending on the buff you are currently using. It seems like every damn time I use the 60% defense buff, the AI gets way more offensive. Kind of defeating the purpose of the buff in the first place.
Also, what is up with Birdie being loved so much on Hard? He shows up more than any other character, and the placement of the last three times he shows up makes zero sense. 34, 43, 46 (???).
to pick different colors in ST/3s/CVS2 you just pushed a different button

No it’s not too much of a grind fest.
If you want a certain colour with a certain character you play for it.
As of right now, colours can be considered a status symbol since apparently it’s not easy to get them.
It really shows how much games in this decade have spoonfeed their players when “unlocking content” is considered too much of a hassle
It’s a hassle because it was never this way before (outside of vanilla IV, but that was much easier).
SFII series, Alpha Series and SFIII series was press a different button for a different colour.
SSFIV onwards was use the character twenty times for all colours and taunts. DLC costumes had colours unlocked already.
SFXT had a colour edit mode, as did CVS2.
This is forcing people to play a mode they don’t want to, multiple times. It’s 1440 rounds to get all colours for just the default costumes for the current sixteen characters.
