Are colors too much of a grind fest?

Lordy. And just think, by the “grace of Capcom”, before too long, we’ll be able to buy one color for one character for one costume for like $1 each in the near future.
“Thanks”, Capcom!

This doesn’t really fall within the topic of the thread, but I’d like to say that it’s total bullshit that some of the colors you can buy with FM are near-identical to some of the colors that you unlock in Survival.

Check out Zangief’s 2000FM color (#11 or #12 I think) and his #6 color. Even side by side you can barely notice a difference. He’s like 1% more tan in his 2kFM costume and he has tiny yellow trim on his boots.

Bison also has a similar situation, as I’m sure many other characters/colors do as well.

I gotchu

It’s all rubbish. I’m sure it’s already been mentioned here but surely a fairer way if you can’t unlock them over survival is to do it via character xp etc…

Pretty obvious to me

It is obvious, but Capcom and obvious never seem to meet.

Money you could use on something else though

Well, nobody forces you to buy colors, so you can use it for something else.

I guess when Urien drops we’ll likely get those colors 3-10 bundles.

Hopefully also Alex/Ibuki SF3 costumes and Bison stage

Would be nice. I really want those classic Alex costumes.

Yes, but at least one (possibly #1) must be no jacket version, it look awkward imho

No point of get “nostalgic” SF3 Alex if you can’t use SF3 standard Alex

That’s going to be his level 50 color.

Yes, I agree, Cestus. I think that Capcom will provide us with both the jacket and no-jacket versions.

fuuuuuuuuuuu lost again at 49 Bison. I need a hug.

Just wait for the colors to go on sale. As much as I hate to admit it, I’d rather pay $2 (or whatever) for all the colors for a character than try to go through Survival Hard even once.

Yesterday I lost at 100 Ryu in Hell Difficulty. I think i need two hugs…

I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me… but it’s hard to stay mad, when there’s so much beauty in the world…

FUCK that I’m pissed >:(

If you are doing Hell just for the title and achievement, I’d suggest you to pick Rashid and spam mk.Eagle Spike from 1 to 100. I found it even easier than the shoryuken spam “tech” with Ken.

I actually did it with ken, but didn’t know there was a shoryuken spam strategy. Thanks for the tip

spaming shoryuken and eagle spike doesn’t work too well

It does. Just wait for CPU to walk forward before throwing your Shoryuken/Eagle Spike. They take it in the face 100% of the time.
