Sucks that we have to PAY MONEY to get the costumes in this mode… Capcom’s recent FM changes are among the worst marketing decisions ever.

Fight Money, not money

Same thing.

Then you’re already “PAY MONEY” for costumes (much more actually)

Story Alts cost 40k Fight Money, four times the price (vs 10k Exta Mode Alts)

ALL other costumes are locked behind Real Money price, either by buying packs or pay €, usually 4.99€ (or was 3.99€?)

That mode won’t be played much if all it does is lock some wacky crossover costumes behind a paywall.

Then i don’t get your argument on “Capcom’s recent FM changes”… every single alt in this game has been locked behind “paywall” ($$$ or FM), and if anything that wall has ever been higher and thicker than Extra Mode alts, 4 times higher for story alts/stage alts and 7 times higher for new stages

And again i find amusing peoples consider Fight Money theyr actual money lol, they’re a fantasy virtual value that you gain weekly by just playing the game/doing missions/playing modes it have nothing to do with your real money, aside the fact that capcom gave you the option of use them instead your actual $$$
You had not to work (aside play) for them, you was’nt in the position to pretend them to begin with.
Essentially FM as a whole are a gift (a smart marketing gift done to push people buy Season Pass)

If FM was called Fight Points you will still consider them money? Because that’s what are, just virtual points you can use to unlock ingame stuff

I got like 350k FM (+each new char will bring usual 30k+each week 10k), i can unlock fuckton of stuff for free without have to spend an euro, that’s not paywall

Now if anything we can discuss Season Pass price being too high, but FM itself can’t be considered money lol

Here’s the thing. We should be rewarded a costume for free if we meet the criteria to get it. We shouldn’t have to pay FM for it. That’s how it was done back in the day and I don’t see a reason why we can’t do it now other than the fact that we’re talking about Capcom here.

Aside that “pay” FM is still free as is not pay money, being as said a fantasy alternative value gave by the game for the game.
So essentially, as long they don’t ask me to pay 3€ or 4€ or whatever, is still for free

VF, Tekken, SC (iirc)… and tons of no-fight games other games (jrpg/rpg to say a big genre) in the past had internal fantasy value to unlock stuff on a fantasy shop, never read anybody talk about that fantasy value as my money tbh

Or when in a Dark Soul game i buy a sword or an armor, i use fantasy value… i doubt if they was called Souls Money peoples will suddently feel robbed by developers of actual money lol

In SFV is that way since begin

Story Alts? Beat Character Story, then pay 40K FM

11-15 Colors? Reach levels with that character, then pay X FM

Stages don’t require challenges, but cost big ass 70K FM

All the rest is behind no challenge but REAL $$$ <- this is the actual “not free” stuff

Is not much different with EM, i don’t get the “recent changes” outrage lol
If anything EM Costumes costing 10K in total will make them the cheapest ones in the game… and are actually cool stuff, not pay 40K for some super flat Kiki design (like many story alts)

And again, not here to be capcom’s advocate, i just don’t buy the critic over something that for once they did good lol… FM in SFV is giving me free stuff that SF4 did gave me, simple as that

And for who did’nt buy SPass, is a free option to unlock chars without have to pay real $

SFV is built on get (lot of) money from who is willing to pay for shit and on being free for who don’t want (throught FM)
SF4 required you to open your real wallet and pay real $ for any new content: costumes, characters, AE

Smetimes seem just peoples want free (new) stuff and get pissed when does’nt happen… in this case even if happen LOL

1- It might be a “fantasy”, but it still does what real money does.

2- I’m OK with using that fantasy money on characters or stages. But costumes and colors? Nah, I’ll pass.

1- It’s not something your work boss pay you, not something that you worked for, not something that end up in your bank account, not something that you can spent outside SFV etc etc
Is just a fantasy coin, like about any other fantasy coin that have a fantasy shop with stuff you can buy without use €/$
Most of games have it and it’s something GOOD lol

2- Then spend these how you prefer, only character and stages.
I assume you’re not buying Season Pass (legit choice), so you’re getting for free (FM) characters that cost them lot of real $$$ to be done, unlike SF4 where we had to pay $$$ without any other option to unlock stuff

SFV is releasing lot of quality contents throught the game cycle, and the current model allow who want it to spend 0,00€ and still keep getting updates (characters, new version, modes) + using a free ingame fantasy value to “buy” some extra stuff as stages/costumes/colors

Capcom is guilty of lot of ugly shit regarding SFV, but FM is’nt one

1-You work for it in-game by doing various tasks and it ends up in your in-game account.

2-That’s what I’m gonna do, but that doesn’t justify the costumes being locked behind a paywall. And SFIV gave us whole game updates (SSFIV, AE, USFIV) rather than individual characters, so it’s not fair to compare the two games.

1- It called “play the game” lol, it’s not a job. FM are essentially points you win

2- Format of release is irrelevant, SFV is giving you characters, new modes, costumes and stages without ask you to pay €/$, while SF4 took your REAL money$ for any update or extra content. Tell me more about V being the one behind paywall lol

Who do you see getting a Linn Kurosawa costume? Ibuki?

The_Shakunetsu · January 3, 2018, 6:29am

Ibuki is likely the best Linn, but it is doubtful for Capcom to put Linn since she is part of the AvP franchised game, we don’t see any rerelease of that game on live online content unlike the DND beat em up and also they create a counterpart of her from Cannon Spike. SIMONE.

Don’t know if it was a replacement… Because they couldn’t take her away separately from AVS game.

Simone costume for Cammy would be pretty cool. Finally she’d get some pants

Cipher · January 5, 2018, 4:02am

You’re going to tell us Jill isn’t wearing pants <.<
How dare you

^ Those are good for Monster Hunter fans, but I’m waiting for that Shadow costume. I hope Capcom doesn’t crush my dreams by making that fight give just a title.

The_Shakunetsu · January 25, 2018, 1:11pm

i was surprised that they managed to include this. i hope so for a decent NASH shadow costume!!

Extra Battle Shin Bison

[/quote]

That’s a nod to the EX series Shin Bison and not the Alpha 3 one. Interesting.

The_Shakunetsu · February 11, 2018, 12:26am

Agree… I hope they put in the alpha one someday as a variant that has infinite CA.

Super_Sonic · February 15, 2018, 6:41pm

Anyone know if we can get Shadow Nash as an alternate costume in the future? The battle against him was datamined by X-Kira, but I’m not sure if he would be considered a “crossover costume”.

The_Shakunetsu · February 15, 2018, 8:27pm

We could possibly but I believe it isn’t what Xkira showed. Xkira never predicted Shin Bison and his supposed representation of Shadow Lady was just June alt. Even Xykes did legit datamined first the Blanka and Flauke ost while Xkira didn’t even had those.

Super_Sonic · February 15, 2018, 11:55pm

I mean, it doesn’t have to happen soon, but I want to see and play as Shadow down the line. The way it was presented, it looked more like it would give just a title, though.

DarthEnder · February 16, 2018, 4:46am

Even though he’s probably going to end up with some kinda Talbain alt, I want Blanka to have a King Rasta Mon from Slam Masters alt so that he has the option of a more human looking appearance.
