Are colors too much of a grind fest?

I would definitely be all over these if I knew for a fact that I wouldn’t get disconnected from the server. Much like Projectjustice I would be practising combos and confirms on moving targets and at the end I’d get the colour I want. As it stands right now though, I don’t want to grind out 90 or matches just to get D/C’d.

So I have to do it for every costume? That is totally ridiculous. I just did it with Chun-Li in the pre-order dress and unlocked a color now I have to do the same with the default?

I should not have to unlock things that I got as DLC.

yes, right now you have to do that for all costumes.
its a pain in the ass but i guess thats capcoms way to let your get some experience/fightmoney
with the singleplayer content.

not one of the smartest decisions they made and with enough backfire from the community something they might change in the future.
just imagine you had to unlock all the colors in usf4 with the halloween, summer ect costumes whic hadd22 colors?! for the whole cast.
thats work which your grandchildren would have to continue since you wouldnt be able to finish it in your lifetime :smiley:

Its much worse in this game I’m about 99% sure in vanilla sf4 when you unlocked a color you unlocked it for everyone, hence the gief lariat spam tactic was born.

at least you get a bunch of fight money for the grind

Not only do you have to grind out every costume, you have to grind all 3 difficulties.

Beating Hard(50 matches, costumes 7,8,9,10) does not unlock the costumes from Normal(30m,c4,5,6) nor does it unlock the colors for Easy(10m,c3).

So 90 matches x 16 characters PER costume.

yea im waiting for servers to be 100% before i dive super deep into it. At least I got some colors done so far.

Im betting you can use FM in the store next month to get the colors you want.

Once the servers allow me to play at 60fps like i was able in beta i’ll do survival mode. Untill then i’ll just look at My Real Arcade Pro. V Hayabusa and just wait :frowning:

PS. For those who don’t know in the story line hahaha…you see oro!! it’s in dhalsim’s story

Servers seem very stable since last night. Im doing survival with fight request on.

I wouldn’t mind it being difficult if it simply meant I sucked at the game if I couldn’t do it, but the AI is just plain random and frustrating to fight. They start to tech every throw, dash under crossups, psychic reversal, and block everything you do. Not fun.

It’s a huge boost compared to the rate you gain fight money in online matches. If you don’t want to pay for characters it saves a lot of time if you can beat the survival modes.

Where’s the unlocker? SF4 guy, come to our rescue!

Survival in SFV so much fun that I actually miss earlier SF’s cheap AI in Arcade mode.

It’s that bad.

Just take your time with it. Its a new game and youre going to have forever to do it. I dont see the big deal.

All capcom needs to do to that mode to make it less grindy is add more variety.
More slots for temporary supplements, and another buff that lets whichever one you select last for as many rounds as you want but it drains the points.
Anything they can think of to make it less like climbing a mountain.

It is way better than 4’s, but the unlockables are placed in a shittier position by far.
100 matches for each character, and each costume.

If you take 2 hours out of your days for a month you’d get em all but at the same time that is a pain because the mode lacks a few things to keep the player actually wanting to actually play it.
Which is kinda bittersweet since arcade mode is wack.

I finally fuckin beat it, ken’s and ryu’s mp shoryu is you fuckin wife not best friend its your motha fuckin wife. on round 26 is where you wanna just start mashing mp shoryu, and make sure you have fight request on and put battle confirmation on ask just in case you health gets to low you just accept the fight. You might not get it on your first try but i got further doing this, first i got to 48, second try i got to 49, and third i beat it. It still requires a little luck tho when it comes to the supplements and they aparently ran out of full health and large health recovery so on fight request turn ranked and casual on so you have a better chance at getting a match if your health gets too low, and a guy got this on his youtube btw thts how i beat this shit, his youtube is powerpyx.

I think the majority of the people on this forum did NOT buy the game to play hundreds of matches against the computer. If you want to play 100’s of matches vs the computer then great, go for it. I have no issues with it, but I (nor anyone else) should be forced to play literally over 1000 matches vs the computer just to unlock colors. They add nothing to the gameplay but they are visually pleasing for most people so it does add enjoyment.

The problem is that for most of us, obtaining that enjoyment means subjecting ourselves to hours of displeasure.

It’d take 6 months to unlock all of them if ya did 1 a day.
While that’s about 30-50 minutes it’s still a pain.

Decided to do all of easy mode’s first, then maybe either quit or try my luck with spamming the defense skill and jump in sweep.

Even in the 90’s this would have been too much of a grind.

At least we aren’t unlocking characters in mvc2
