I hope those are in order, because it means only having to do Easy Survival at most to get some good color schemes for her.

Weird how, in color schemes where they literally make him blue, the Urien that looks most alien is White Guy Urien.

Are the people at Capcom completely color blind? That's my only explanation for some of these color schemes. yeeeesh

Those are some ugly loving colors, but at least they bothered to adjust the skin tone. It bugs me when they only play with the skin color of characters in like 1 of the 10. I don't like a single Urien color set there, though. Maybe one of the ones that make him look like Lupin the Third.

I really try not to think about this because it depresses the gently caress out of me, but yeah, it's true. Could at least give us a color edit.

AFAIK the way this game handles colours is very similar to how SFxT handled colours which did have a colour editor. Colours are a decent fight money sink for them though so I don't see them adding one anytime soon.

The weird thing is I don't think there's an option to buy colours 3-10 with fight money which seemed like the whole point of gating them behind survival to begin with

There's KI but you need W10.

Does Urien still say "CRUSH, KILL, DESTROY" during his moves? This is very important.

This is probably an unpopular opinion but I think most fightcade games are wack and only to be played casually / for fun.

Like, I'll play in the Alpha 3 room with Birdie and Rose for kicks but I won't bother learning how broken it is.

ST is alright but I hate o.sagat, balrog and vega.

More upset about this than most of the other things. Colors help get me past Alex's horribly designed model and questionable attire selection. PC gets to master race their way through survival and can even change models entirely with legit looking fan-made replacements freely. I don't care that PC can skip the issue (only envious), I care that I can't even buy some drat colors that I'm positive they said would be on the store.

There's so much flak to throw around with this game, but I choose inaccessible colors to plant my flag on.

If you ever pick up W10 I'd definitely recommend at least downloading the free version of KI; it rotates a free character every week to try out and the online is solid.

Otherwise, just take a break. I was kinda looking forward to our rematches again but if you're burned out or just not feeling it, no shame in playing something else.

Sorry, what? I've played the previous games, I know the story, and I know who all the characters are, the SFV story just flat out doesn't make sense, particularly because the previous ones were just "we're in a tournament where you have to fight people all over the world in the middle of the street", or "Shadaloo does something evil to give power to either Bison or a Bison successor, the gang comes together to beat them up", or a combination of both like Street Fighter IV, while this one tries to switch it up but ends up being the same thing, only worse. The world tournament poo poo is acceptable, that's the sort of plotline I am expecting in a fighting game, after completing this story though, I was left with all the following questions:

  • Who the gently caress is the programmer girl? Why is she an 8 year old child? Wasn't there a group of hackers that Shadaloo hired to code something about the moons, if so, where did they go? Why is programming the moons so difficult nobody at Shadaloo can do it? What's her loving name?
  • How did they build the moons and put them in orbit in the first place? How come nobody noticed up until now? How do they augment psycho power? Is it really just channeling negativity from the world to give power to everyone Bison desires to give power to?
  • Who in the world is the researcher that is Rashid's friend? Is she his love interest? How do they know each other? What is even her loving name?
  • Why did they literally leave the base and then go back? Was that really necessary? I mean it's not like they were losing the fight.
  • What's the point of the McGuffin chess piece things? Why are they there? How did the hackers know who to send them to?
  • What the gently caress does C.H.A.I.N.S stand for?
  • What is Necalli even trying to do? Did he even get to devour ONE soul? Since when is he some liquid thing? Like, what the gently caress wasn't he advertised as the main villain? He just gets beat up all the time.
  • Did Laura even get to do anything?


Absolutely none of the new things they introduce in story mode are memorable are fun or exciting. The best thing about it is literally just getting to play with and against characters from previous games. I get that they didn't want to make another world tournament or another "Don't let Ryu be consumed by evil!" thing, but this is just confusing and drags on and on.

I get that they didn't want to make another world tournament or another "Don't let Ryu be consumed by evil!" thing, but this is just confusing and drags on and on.

Another major problem is that the story seems to want to be character driven, with Charlie's desire for revenge and duty driving him, rashid's girlfriend's death guilting him into action, Ryu's internal struggle with the Dark Hadou and Bison's entire shtick of being SUCH A THREAT that he didn't have to do anything in the story except just stand there and laugh the whole plot, but none of the cast has any personality. Most of SF's cast is super boring and they spend the majority of their screen time in the story mode just kind of standing there, saying two lines of exposition lightly flavored to their bullet point personalities then doing the generic good guy thing.

The only character that comes across as being human at all are Rashid since he's given a range of emotions (Read as: More than Angry and Exposition) and he actually gets screen time to develop those drives and feelings. No one else really develops or reacts in a way that makes sense as human beings or as the characters we know. Guile says literally 2 sentences to his Brother Returned from the dead and barely emotes when his dies again for nothing. It's a character driven story that forgot to give anyone anything to feel or do. Even Cammy spends her entire story feeling bad about Decapre and doing nothing about it.
