Click on it to get the image full screen.

But I'll translate this:

$6 for a character. $4 for a costume.

Butif you want to earn these in game, it's 100,000 FM for a character, and 40,000 FM for a costume.

The actual money needed for the characters isn't that insane, it's in line with how other fighting games price their DLC characters. I find the in game costs curious, however- they certainly look inflated and steep to me, but without knowing how much money you earn per match on average, I can't actually say if they are good or bad. Can someone with the game please sound off on this?

EDIT: F*ck, I had my question answered:

On paper, you're getting one and a half characters outright (160,000 coins from just the prologues) for a few hours of work. That's...not bad, since said characters would be sold as paid DLC anyway. But Capcom is counting on you spending your currency on outfits, leaving you with less and less cash to buy characters with. It's a common strategy that's used in a lot of games -- hell, the free market in general. If you can resist the temptation, you'll likely come out on top.

Assuming the well of solo coins dries up, beyond that, you'll need to win roughly 2000 games a month to get a free character. But there are concessions. Leveling up a character by playing them will net you an extra 1000 coins per level, for example. When the shop opens in March, more prices emerge, and other modes arrive, we'll update accordingly. For now, the high rewards for single-player content are great, but we'll see how easy it is to earn Coins once players cap their levels out. "More ways to earn coins will be added throughout the year" Capcom says, but for now, this is just a promise.

WHAT THE EVER LOVING SHIT IS THIS?!?!?

50 FM for online wins, nothing for a loss.

You get a pretty hefty amount for going through story and survival modes once with each character but after that you gotta win online matches.

Seeing as how this is the internet this news can only cause outrage. Those prices fall right in line with pretty much every fighter. And other fighters like Smash Bros don't give you the ability to earn those characters with in game currency, your only option is to open your wallet. This is a non-issue for the real world but a death sentence on the internet. Nothing new.

2,000 victories to unlock one character. And they have to be victories...

Smash Bros. had 50 characters in it right out of the box. 50 characters, and more modes than anyone knows what to do with. Street Fighter has 16 characters, and not one single fleshed out mode.

:/

Why do you get nothing for a loss? Is that explained in game?

I guess the developers' couldn't beat Ryu's Shoryuken, so they made it hard to get the new characters. :)

Smash, in general, lets you spend $4 on a character if you want it for just one version, and $6 if you want it for both versions. Equally importantly, in Smash, the character comes with alternate costumes, as well as a bundled stage. None of this is true for SF5. You would end up spending $10 on one SF5 character to have the character and an alternate costume (and no bundled stage).

These two games are not even remotely comparable.

What? No. There were maybe some characters, the hidden bonus characters, or whatever, that took you this absurdly long to unlock before- but to have this much time necessary to unlock all characters was never a thing in fighting games before.

Right ok people, you gain 10,000 per story that you finish and they take 2-3 mins each, so you can unlock the characters and costumes in less than an hour but sure, lets pretend that this is the wort thing ever.

I mean I've only amassed 500,000 at least on all 3 of the accounts that I've had wIped and that took me less than an hour each but what do I know right?

I have every character for Smash on Wii U and 3DS not to mention every Smash Amiibo to date. That being said SF V is a deeper fighting game with a deeper move set, strategy etc. Smash has more content by a mile, but you cannot earn those dlc characters. That's really my only point. I wasn't bashing Smash, just comparing the DLC prices and strategies. I will have spent more on Smash than any game this gen and I'm not even good at the game.

2,000 victories for a single character, so I would assume for a marginally decent fighter that would be about 3,000 matches, matches likely last about 90 seconds total, plus the downtime between other matches being another 60 seconds...

So that's 7,500 minutes which equals to 125 hours, or 5.2 days straight...

They're forcing people into buying content, what a shitty joke...

"Oh but you can earn all the stuff!"

I don't need to pay for costumes, so I'll do my best to get enough coins to get all the characters. Juri is my priority anyway, as I really like using her in SF4.

But yeah so far SFV comes across as really good game that Capcom should handle better.

I wasn't bashing Smash, just comparing the DLC prices and strategies. I will have spent more on Smash than any game this gen and I'm not even good at the game.

I'm not necessarily comparing the two as fighters. I recognize Smash is not even in the same league as SF5 in that regard (though that's why I love Smash). What I am saying is that the pricing strategy of SF5 is far worse than the pricing strategy of Smash, which just looking at the prices wouldn't tell you:

  • Smash characters come bundled with alternate costumes
  • Smash characters come bundled with a stage
  • Smash characters are playable across two versions of the game
  • Smash has 50 characters in the base game to begin with, as well as over two dozen stages in each version

None of this is true of SF5- it's a game with already low content to begin with, and its DLC pricing is further price gouging compared to Smash, which had a stupid amount of content, and offered additional stuff for far cheaper, with more value per purchase. That's what I am trying to say- Capcom is nickel and diming here.

No, what I don't have to do is buy Street Fighter, that's a fact !

Also, what movie is that gif from ? xD

I agree with everything except the above bullet because it's not entirely true. You have to purchase the character in a WiiU/3DS bundle which costs more than the character on just 1 platform. So your statement is partially false.

On second thought, I think I'll just pass on this game. I guess I shouldn't be but I can't help being surprised by the willingness to put up with this. I thought $60 was pushing it for a fighting game in the first place but what do I know?

@GoldenElementXL: Both of those. The story should be longer and you shouldn't have to earn anything it should be there already.

The problem is both- you can only get FM from completing all the story modes once- and never again after that. So this is only all good for one character unlock, maybe two.

The other issue is that the story modes are as short as they are to begin with. It's a full on shortage of content, that's what it keeps coming back to.

Ah yes, some of the third party characters are definitely a bit more expensive. Yes, I admit that Bayonetta and Cloud (and Ryu?) are more expensive than the standard Smash DLC character. However, even then, $7 for everything that comes with a Smash character is cheaper than the $10 for one SF5 character for far less (one character, one costume, no stage).

I'm lost with what your comment is supposed to say or what you are criticizing me for.

I'm asking why finishing a character's story in 2-3 minutes, is considered a good thing.

I'm wondering why Capcom couldn't be bothered to release a complete game, but they could be bothered to include an in game store.

If you can't answer or contribute to my questions, I fail to see why we are even having a discussion :/

Which one is it guys? I'm trying to figure out what I'm supposed to be outraged about.

The problem is both- you can only get FM from completing all the story modes once- and never again after that. So this is only all good for one character unlock, maybe two.

The other issue is that the story modes are as short as they are to begin with. It's a full on shortage of content, that's what it keeps coming back to.

Apparently there's like 640,000 FM in the game if you do the story and survival modes for each of the 16 characters

It's called FM, because you go:

Right ok people, you gain 10,000 per story that you finish and they take 2-3 mins each, so you can unlock the characters and costumes in less than an hour but sure, lets pretend that this is the wort thing ever.

I mean I've only amassed 500,000 at least on all 3 of the accounts that I've had wIped and that took me less than an hour each but what do I know right?

Finishing a character's story in 2-3 minutes each... is a good thing ?

Think that's just counting the FM from completing the story with each charcter

Can we appreciate that the game JUST hit store shelves and already has DLC priced? It's literally an expected thing now. Jesus H Christ.

@GoldenElementXL: Both of those. The story should be longer and you shouldn't have to earn anything it should be there already.

So you want more than what you have and you don't want to have to actually earn any of it? This pretty much sums up the society we live in today. :p

On a serious note I do get the concerns on content that everyone is talking about. But if things like this are such a deal breaker for $60, you either need to reevaluate how much $60 really is in 2016, (games used to cost more than that in the 90's) or some of you should start looking for new hobbies.

Ah, right.

Well, that's not quite as bad then- it means you get 6 characters free upfront.

After that, it's a bit rough, but six free characters isn't as bad.

> Game launches with lack of content
> Game launches with 30 dollar season pass to get more content
> Game launches with in game cash shop to get more content
> Game launches with pathetically short singleplayer story mode

= AAA gaming industry these days. They seriously think their consumers and fanbase are idiots.

Um no. I'm sorry, who are you? My comments are on topic, maybe a little hard for some to hear, but on topic none the less.

There is no single player against the cpu, the most basic of all modes!!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one because I'm beginning to wonder.

The good news is its February 16th now... and first DLC character does not come out till April. And considering you pretty much earn Alex in the first 2-3 hours, the rest of that time you spend banking.

Its not all that bad people... cheer up.
