Well, one positive thing about SFV, for anyone that still cares about Street Fighter as a whole, I guess now we can see a true grapple match between Zangief and Alex. There's got to be at least one person in the world that's excited about that.

That fight is actually a lot of fun for both the Gief *and* the Alex.

I'm actually really satisfied with SFV, primarily because of how many grapplers and grappler-like characters there are in it. As a KOF player, I will take as many as I can, even if Capcom doesn't understand how comboing into a grab should work.

Rx Suicide emailed me and all I got was this amazingly awesome forum account.

Tortured By Flan
As if we need any more reasons to avoid Survival for color unlocking, my investigations today have suggested that they have increased the difficulty for Normal survival. After five attempts at gaining Alex normal colors, I was met with a soul destroying Ryu at stage 25 that crushed the dream repeatedly by the tall-tail sign of reading inputs; normally a tactic reserved for Hard and above difficulty opponents. Asking around revealed the same issues for others, but on all characters at the same stage. This was vastly different an experience than when I originally did the run with Necalli many moons ago.

Pretty sure stage 25 has always been known as the stage where the CPU actually turns on, but up until the last patch a few days ago, it wasn't to the level of Hard difficulty. Now it seems the AI acts more like it does in Hard Mode when closing in the last 10 stages on that difficulty. You can expect full combo completions, anti-airs and hard-counters to your buttons by the AI in the last 5 stages of Medium difficulty.

The need to abuse the ranked/casual pop-up tactic is very strong now for both difficulties, made all the worse by not having these survival colors available for purchase in the store. So far, you can only purchase colors 11, 12 and 13 via fight money - choices that don't even exist for Alex at present.

edit: I guess since I'm talking about colors, word has it colors 14 and 15 are unlocked via character-specific levels. 25 and 30, though I can't seem to verify this for certain.

Maybe so, maybe not. I had the opposite experience. Trying to unlock Normal on day 1 or two, I failed it at least twice with the usual Survival mode rage inducing AI cheating each time until I learned to play better. A month with a character, unlocking alt costume Normal colors today, I did it in one try, with very little problems. It's just really boring and a horrible waste of time, but I didn't notice any particular spike in difficulty. The AI is completely braindead and blocks only randomly no matter what difficulty it's on.

Since they've been going with some semi-obscure Street Fighter characters, I really think they should add someone from Saturday Night Slammasters and Rival Schools \ Project Justice because they're tangentially related to Street Fighter and Final Fight. Rival Schools has Sakura in it and Slammasters has Haggar who was from Final Fight which is in the SF universe so it's like a Kevin Bacon degrees of separation thing.

Also, we have Cody, Guy, Rolento, Sodom, Poison and Hugo all playable in Street Fighter games, I'd really like Mike Haggar to finally show up as a playable character someday.

He's in Marvel 3. Plus I don't see Haggar making it into anywhere that already has Zangief since their usually depicted offense is the same. Maybe if they hosed around and gave him some pipe based attacks or something.

Which is true. Haggar is almost like to Zangief what Ken is to Ryu and Charlie is to Guile, except they've just never shown up in the same game. This game has a lot of grapplers, too.

What I'm saying is they need to make a Saturday Night Slammasters 3 which includes the wrestlers from the first two games, plus Zangief, Alex, Hugo, Rainbow Mika, Birdie, Hakan, Honda and well.... Fuerte I guess...
