Are colors too much of a grind fest?

so i just beat hard with mika, took me 4 tries, kept getting high 30s/low 40s. The ditz computer is never a problem. you can beat it with really basic jump in combos. The computer is also very “reaction” based. The harder computer wants you to push a button so it can punish it. It seems to struggle figuring out how to beat her Vskill however. it will jump around in place and wait for you to do something while you charge vskill. When it finally does attack most the time it is just a jump in single hit that your armor will absorb. You can then throw them, get huge damage and start charging it again. Against the high end vega, and bisons I just spammed her wingless airplane anti air grab. The hard computer LOVES jumping.

Careful with the vskill thing against other mika/gief however, the computer will do empty jump command grabs. On my successful run I got lucky and the grappler AI was really easy. I also used the matchmaking exploit to retry matches I was taking too much damage on.

i used the trainer with everyone on hard. wasted 2 days of my life.

If Capcom doesn’t address this in the upcoming patch I will be doing the same.

Sadly, it’s the ps4 I’d like this for… My plan is to bring my ps4 anywhere to show off / share the game with people, and leave my pc at home.

I think Capcom really needs to re-consider how colors are unlocked now, as I feel this is one of the important features for tournament play. While they may have said they have “consideration for tournament play” I’m meaning also when I bring my ps4 to a local convention, or to a bar for a fight night. Local stuff that capcom likely wouldn’t endorse.

No one wants to see the same 2 colors over and over again when they’re already just spectating -_-

When you beat hard using a trainer do you still get the fight money reward from it?

I blame SNK boss fights for my reluctance to just say “f*ck this” like a normal person lol

The only thing that matters is if you are online or not. I wouldn’t recommend using the trainer online however :stuck_out_tongue:

I wouldnt even mind grinding

but grinding kinda implies that you have some sort of progress and eventually reach the end

here you sit for 2 hours and achieved NOTHING

Heh, ya’ll are complaining about hard / hell modes and my scrubby behind just failed out on the last round of freaking normal mode. I get the complaints so much more now. That took way, way too long to get to level thirty and up until that final match with Bison there was no challenge at all. I’m a dude with limited gaming time, and there is just know way that I’m going to toss that time at this annoying mode as opposed to playing online.

Yep, exactly. Arcade mode at highest difficulty with continues to unlock EVERY color is fine.

I’ve lost on normal mode at 29 and 30a couple times. I got salty the first couple times, too. After that it was just weary resignation.

Shit I was using the trainer to grind FANGs colours and accidentally forgot to turn it off and went online.

Fuck.

Beat normal with Ryu so I could have a few colors, but I’ll probably never do it again. The mode is idiotic. Every single thing about it screams “We took 5 minutes to build this garbage because we had too”.

I basically just use the mode as training mode now. I sit in it and practice combos on the AI while waiting for matchmaking. And every now and then I unlock colors for whatever character im messing around with at the time.

Easy and normal ok. Hard and hell mode not ok. I’m only grinding for fight money and real money forget colors!! Capcom really.

What’s weird is that I played both Easy and Normal just playing as I normally would and Survival was fairly painless. Now that I’m actually putting in effort on Hard mode. It’s actually quite difficult.

Yes. Quite the grind. I really hope unlocking colors for alternate costumes is better… or different… or anything else, really.

Tried to run it back to unlock the Alt outfit colors on hard. Beat Bison level 49 with no health left (started with full health btw). What does the RNG give me for the final match?

“Low Health Regen”

…Fuck you Capcom.

Since I stopped caring about this game ages ago I guess I’ll post the tech:

  • All this shit is controlled by Capcom’s joke of an API.
  • Finish one trial, snoop the network traffic for the parameters
  • Replay the network traffic with new variables (exercise left to the reader)
  • Earn 1000000FM by day 2

Ask an adult to help if you wanna do this on PS4.

Alternatively, modify the Survival files so that you only need to beat one enemy to win. No need for trainers.

Everyone is having a great time failing when they make hard 31-50 and don’t get the colors. Thanks capcom. We’re rolling in the joy.

I can’t get passed Hard 36. But I will one day!
