I only need 1 Ryu outfit

That Chun tho

I can't believe I am going to buy damn SFV costumes. Yet I am undoubtedly getting Ryu and Chun Li plus I really like the Stage concept art. Hmm... I think i have some fight money saved up (bought Season 1 Pass, didn't spend any fight money) and will see how far that will stretch.

Because Ryu and Chun don't have enough costumes already.

Anyway, the Thailand stage looks pretty good. Hopefully the remixed theme isn't butchered.
Least their choice of stage means we'll be getting the better Thailand theme regardless.

A1/2 and A3 Adon themes reign supreme, tho

Stage looks great. Couldn't care less about the costumes. Chun Li really didn't need another one while we'43 still waiting for the Alex/Ibuki nostalgic costumes.

Wrong Thailand stage to bring back.

I guess they gotta save something for if/when Sagat ever comes back

Everybody knows Sagat's best stage is in Australia, though...

I hope they don't ruin the stage by putting npcs doing stupid shit in the background.

I think they said before in an interview that the only thing they've added is breakable pots/statues and have retroactively updated other stages with other breakable objects as well.

Yes, the recent CFN 2.0 beta (finally) had breakable crates in Guile's classic Air Force Base stage.

Kolin is pretty button-mash friendly for newbs like myself, hopefully the next characters also have a lower skill floor.

Wow, really? If anything I felt Kolin had a higher skill requirement than some other characters simply due to the nature of her moveset.

Also revealed at our WonderCon 2017 panel and on the Street Fighter Academy Quiz on April Fools, we are happy to unveil concept art and the final in-game look for the three premium school costumes for Ryu, Chun-Li and Juri.

There are additional outfit concepts in the article link.

Yeah like taking pictures and falling over.

The stages look SOOOOO much better without the shitty ps2 models in the background, its so annoying.
Fortunately, there were some mods on pc that removed them. But yeah, they should add a toggle in the options to do that.

I think they said before in an interview that the only thing they've added is breakable pots/statues and have retroactively updated other stages with other breakable objects as well.
That's neat. The cleanest the stage looks the better.

Her fast-punch attack does good chip damage and sometimes puts you out of range of easy counters, her flip move can be confusing for opponents, and it's hard to fuck up her V-Trigger. It's also easy to chain into her super, guaranteeing the super landing.

Maybe I'm playing at an impressively garbage level, but the only other character I was half decent with was Necalli and Kolin is now my #1.

Juri is one of the best character designs they've ever come up with. She adapts so well to any setting. School Punk Juri is my new favorite.

Remember when they released data on best bought alt outfits and kens unlockable alpha costume was the most popular of the unlockables?

You would think you'll do more costumes for that character, instead he gets one horrible one.

I'm sure the fact that it could be purchased with FM and that both his default/premium costumes look bad had a lot to do with it.
 
Yeah apparently they been pissing me off since day 1
No Guile in Vanilla, in year two and it looks like no Sagat or Blanka, they must really not want me playing this game.

I saw the thread title and had hope, and my hope was pyscho crushed into the corner by memories of scissor kicks and head stomps.

The world needs less Blanka players, so Capcom is doing us a solid.

I'm not going to buy any more costumes because I hardly get to see them. Family and friends are not hardcore and prefer we just select random for character choices and to keep things fresh and fair. Random option never randomise's costumes so always stuck seeing the same default when playing with others. Fix it and my money is yours.

why are only the low tier characters getting these good costumes

IIRC, Birdie, Bison Dhalsim, FANG, and Rashid still only have a single premium costume (the ones from launch). This is Juri's 4th premium costume, and she came out like 4-5 months after the game's release.
 
Ugh, thanks luce.

And how about the account lock thingy on PS4 version? Still there?
You mean the whole "DLC is tied to one account thing?"

Yeah that's still there. Unlike the Extra Battles and Arcade mode, that is one thing I don't see getting changed in this game's lifetime. The economy they've added with the ability to unlock fighters without paying for them just means that they need their own system to verify DLC and that means no sharing allowed.
 
I was going to come in and complain that the Bison stage is missing all the people from the SF2 version, but then I saw the monk dancing around in the gif the OP linked. So, it looks great to me. I hope Capcom can do the stages music justice too. It had some of the best music in SF2 (with Cammy and Ryu).
Costumes are boring. Wish they gave Juri something revealing.

Yeah, I meant that.

That's really frustrating though. I mean buying a character with FM shouldn't really give you the option to use it on other accounts cause it's already tied to the save file of your first account. So, putting an extra lock in place just seems like a needless overkill.

Anyway, apparently that ship has sailed for this game so I just hope they get it right for MvC:I. I would be beyond furious if that game had a similar system in place.
 
Right. No good stages for a year.
1) worst "airport stage" in a fighting game ever.
2) it's the most offensive since it could have been actually great looking but the terrible ligthing and the awful npcs (in the night version) ruin everything.
3) it doesn't even looks like a fighting game stage.

That's your opinion and you're entitled to it.

I'm starting to think you haven't actually played on this stage, else you'd know that the one I posted is the Day variant of Kanzuki Estate, and the day variant DOESN'T HAVE any NPCs. Which is specifically why I posted it.
3) it doesn't even looks like a fighting game stage.
What is a fighting game stage?

The reveal of the new character is taking so long... Kolin released late february, right?

Come on Capcom, show it already. :/
