FANG is actually a pretty cool looking guy, except for that stupid flying super thing at the end. The rest of his weird movements are actually fine.

What's everyone's opinion on the $30 season pass? 6 characters plus 1 Premium Costume each, plus a PS4 theme.
Apparently characters will be $6 by themselves. $6 x 6 = $36, so you're getting one character plus the costumes free I guess.

Zenny breakdown was given as this:

100 Zenny = Purchase for $0.99 / €0.99 / £0.79
550 Zenny = Purchase for $4.99/€4.99/£3.99 (receive a 50 Zenny bonus)
1200 Zenny = Purchase for $9.99/€9.99/£7.99 (receive a 200 Zenny bonus)
4000 Zenny = Purchase for $29.99/ €29.99/£24.99 (receive a 1000 Zenny bonus)

I'm guessing that means each character is 600 zenny.

There's still no announcement of how much zenny = fight money, or how fast you earn fight money, so it's hard to gauge how good this season pass actually is.

I'm guessing the Premium Costumes mean you will not be able to buy them with Fight Money though, and will need to put real money down on them regardless.

You're only saying that because he's purple :pac:

Think 600 sounds right, they haven't talked about how much you earn per match, if any of the current ftp models are anything to go by we'll be looking at dozens if not hundreds of hours worth of matchs to earn 1-2 characters

My concern is what can you actually purchase wit Zenny aside from characters?

30 quid for season pass seems reasonable considering its sorta like Super extension with added cast.

Rob2D

We will all buy it and we all know it :pac:

Yeah, as Kiki says i imagine it will take more than the lifetime of the game to earn all characters with in game money, even at the absurd amount of hours we will likely put in.
I'm going to hold off getting the season pass until I see what the economy is like for Fight Money, but yeah, I'll probably end up getting it anyway.

I'm guessing there's going to be tons of stuff like stages and non-premium costumes that will only be available to unlock via zenny/fight money that won't be included in the season pass too.

If they make it too hard to earn zennies, then we'll likely see a lot of bots. Happens in every online game that has grinding.

I'll be bringing my PS4 to casuals twice a week for that sweet sweet fight money

Regarding the discussion about feminism in videogames and the way the heroines are portrayed in them, “Street Fighter V” has been criticized because of two characters seen as extremely sexualized – including the Brazilian Laura.

In an interview for UOL Jogos, the producer of the fighting game series Yoshinori Ono guaranteed that Capcom wants to erase that notion so that their game doesn’t disturb the female audience. “Our objective with ‘Street Fighter V’ is to start over from zero”, explains Ono. “We want the professional players and the casual fans of the series to return, but we also want to reach those who have never even touched a fighting game. So we can’t have something in the game that makes people think, ‘This is not acceptable’”.

Originally, the fighter Rainbow Mika slapped her butt during one attack sequence, but the action was removed. That led some fans to question if some kind of ‘censorship’ had occurred. “We didn’t make any change because of external influences”, reassures Ono. “Those changes came up internally. We decided to remove that because we want the biggest possible number of people to play, and we don’t want to have something in the game that might make someone uncomfortable”.

The objective, according the producer, is to have characters that people like, and not put them off the game. “Probably we won’t be able to remove everything that could offend someone. But our goal is, at least, to reduce that number as much as possible so that they think ‘Ok, there is this issue here, but it is within the limits’. We want that everyone can play and enjoy without worrying about anything else”, he says.

“Street Fighter V” will be launched for PlayStation 4 and PC on the February 16, 2016.

In fairness though, that's some good box art!

You know, considering the damage output in SFV, rounds last roughly 20-30 seconds, even if it goes to 3 rounds, and one runs long, finishing someone in 2 minutes isn't that impressive.

3S matches can be over before you count to 30.

FANG's design has legitimately freaked me out.

Going a bit overboard with the "feck lights" thing I think!

I disagree.

Meaties/frame trap buttons shouldn't lose to mashing.

Dreddybajs

I think it's cool, it leads to a cleaner frametrap game (don't have to have such exact timing on traps) and feels very satisfying (in 3s anyway). Looking forward to trying it out.

edit: It'll still lose to mashing if you're doing a slow frametrap Kiki. And meaties never lost to mashing in the first place in SF4.

Kirby

I think thats excellent. It really benefits the guys who know the frame data for lots of characters (I certainly dont).

Doctor DooM

It will certainly simplify the frame trap game. Really, the guy doing the frame trap has one more frame to do it basically. You've still got to time it reasonably well.

Were people having huge problems with people mashing lights in frame traps? I'm hardly desk but it was never really an issue for me, that fool was getting a counter hit hard punch.

Nutrient

I think what it does is cleans up the Frametrap game or makes it easier to perform frame traps.

It does give attackers with pixel health a chance for a clean counter instead of losing to trades with lower priority buttons

The overall reaction seems positive from players, it certainly rewards players that know their data.

Azza

So fireball zoning and defense are out.

Doom I think its time you and I moved to Tekken. :pac:
