Are colors too much of a grind fest?

hahaha… that was perfect

i unlocked Nash’s story alt and the first 6 colors were already unlocked? did i miss something here?

Yep. Most colours can be unlocked with spam. With Karin I just JF Tenko’d, Chun IAL, Ken mp DP etc etc. Trying to actually fight the CPU intelligently just gets you killed lol

I need that Vega exploit for survival, so I can get colors 7 and 9.

Need a Laura exploit for that all black.

There is nothing more fun in gaming than spending 20+ minutes on something and failing, then repeating the previous 18+ challenge free minutes to get to the hard part.

only now starting to think that? I knew that shit the moment I played through the first 2 matches on easy. Oh, and on PS4, the load times make it even longer… I’ve probably watched more load screens in this game than actually playing it.

So much whining in here, “i want all the colours 1st day buhubuhu”, this game will last for years so whats the hurry?

If others can beat the hard mode and you cant then its not the games fault, maybe the fault is on you, ever thinked about that?

The point is not about it being too hard or not. I did beat it, the problem is that it’s boring as fuck and very obviously designed to make you loose your mind.

For example why do I have to do easy/medium/hard to get all of the colors? I could just do hard and get everything below like every other game does?

Why do I have to do this shit for every costume if I want the colors?

That and the difficulty is super random with a cpu that goes from docile to super human in an instant. I’e done normal survival with everyone, most of them on my first try. The only fights you have to worry about are the last 5…usually. Was doing it with Alex yesterday and out of nowhere stage 20ish Cammy goes ham on me and take off 2/3 of my life. I still won, but if the game had been stingy with life ups I probably wouldn’t have.

I miss the old Capcom where a different strength gave you colors, holding start and pushing a strength gave you more and pressing 3 buttons and start and the 3 buttons gave you another 2.

Shit, other games you push start or just select the character and you pick out of a dozen colors.

This pretty much summarizes my experience with it. I did manage to get all the hard colors I wanted for each costume, but now it’s just filler for fight request while attempting to get some extra FM. I’ll only be attempting it with characters that have the easiest exploits on the CPU.

Died against Birdie at lvl 46. Fuck this shit, I’m done.

You know what would really make this so much more fair? A continue system that ties into the colors.
You get one continue on Easy mode (and if you need to use it, you really don’t deserve the color), three on Normal, four on Hard, but you don’t get any in Hell. If you use a continue, you’ll get one less color when you get to the end. If you win hard mode and use two continues, you’ll get colors 7 and 8, and to get 9 and 10, you’ll have to do it again while using two continues or less.

I personally think it ought to be 10 - 20 - 30 - 50 matches for easy/normal/hard/extreme. People wouldn’t be complaining as much if the colors were locked behind 30 wins. Normal is pretty easy.

I got to around 35 on Hard and was disconnected. Until they make colors 7-10 attainable through some other avenue, I’ll have to go without.

Capcom keep making such terrible decisions, essentially burying a great game before it could fully bloom. Such a shame… I hope it doesn’t die any time soon.

I have no idea how to beat hard mode. Cammy at level 27 is always rough and if I manage to get past her I usually lose somewhere around 40.

I lost 7 times this morning in hard with mika, always around stage 40-45… i’m getting so close to start cheating.

At this point I’d actually rather just pay someone to beat hard with Birdie for me. I don’t even care about the colours, just FM and exp. I want gold chain Birdie at level 25.

Playing as Ryu, on Hard Survival my hardest opponent are: birdie, dhalshim, m. bison and last necalli. I reached level 50 once, level 49 a couple of time. Sometimes I fail against M. Bison lvl 33 or any Birdie past lvl 30 (Birdie 2 or 3 times after level 30), sometimes against laura or mika >40 and dhalshim lvl 36. In the beginning I used to lose badly against chun-li, then I found a strategy (c. mpunch if she is close, spam hadooken while she is far). I try hard mode at least 2 times each day and still can’t beat it… most times because I don’t get enough health back, and starting with 1/4 health on level 35+ means death.

The fact that this is PER COSTUME is the worst…

Fighting games are for PVP, if I wanted to grind some dumb ai fight mess I wouldn’t be playing a fighting game >_<

So frustrated this shit is locked behind a pve mode.
