Rhino, you did this to me!

I'm not sure why any of this is particularly surprising. Wasn't the whole point to be a model of playing to unlock characters and paying for the cosmetics?

I see people whining about the season pass all the time (maybe you aren't but still), but it literally says exactly what it includes. How can you be surprised what is and isn't in it?

season pass used to mean you get all the dlc for an upfront fee so there's confusion still.

the season pass should have been called the 2016 character pack or something but yeah you're right that its pretty upfront about what it includes:

6 characters with 1 alt skin for each of them and guile's stage as a weak apology for delays

Well, it took over four months for a $30 season pass to provide a single character that wasn't already freely available--not really surprised that people would complain about that. Just seems scummy to me that they'd follow it up with a separate $25 DLC with three skins, a stage and some palette swaps. It's nice that part of it's going to the prize pool, though.

"If I can pay $10 bucks, fine"? We're talking about loving colors here, man. A lot of games have a bunch of them for free and some even get a color edit. SF4 let us unlock them just by playing the goddamn game. $10 for a bunch of ugly palette swaps in a fighting game is fine. What the gently caress man.

I'd pay more than that if I never had to look at Survival again. Given the available options (on PS4 so I can't do things the easy way) I'd rather just unlock everything at once for a ten-spot and be done with it forever.

Actually you can on PS4 now, it's how they unlocked everything on the Evo consoles

Even if they have an all-character, all-costume bundle, lol if you think it'd be $10. A loving costume is $4. Capcom has continually gone out of their way to make sure they have the worst dollar value in any game, fighting or otherwise, in recent memory.

Smash 4 is a little weird because they give you a pretty large roster for 60 bucks and then new characters were like 8 dollars a piece.

But I understand the work that goes into creating and balancing entirely new characters. Charging 6 dollars for an existing stage with a different lighting scheme is absolutely criminal

IIRC palette swap stages ARE cheaper than new ones, but yeah your point stands.

I'm eye-loving this Alex like crazy. Unreasonably excited for this. His model looks different than the current one, like his proportions don't look so out of whack. I can't tell if it's the costume doing that or if maybe they tweaked it around. Really hope they tweaked around the base model, as I actually kinda like the default costume just hate his awful proportions.

It looks heavily like the mod that's been floating around, except the face appears untouched in this pic. The mod made it look quite a bit different, like making the chin more angled/less wide.

So if I'm understanding this correctly...

Capcom announce a SFV panel (with q&a session) at evo to talk about the future of the game. The panel ends up being them flaunting a bunch of overpriced costumes, stages and announce you'll be able to buy colours with real money. Survival mode won't be changed. They then half-hearted answer a couple of questions then the panel's over.

All that's missing is Rashido's theme tbh.

The outline of the CPT costume tease is very Shoto-y. Maybe it's a classic Akuma costume as an apology. What if CPT had a trailer where they showed Thailand, Ryu vs. Bison and then classic Akuma (keep in mind he's been drawn and looks very Oni like in the current artwork - but the Japanese clearly says Gouki) comes in with a raging demon on Bison, SFII style.

E: End with a Sagat teaser, maybe just a tiger roar over a black screen

Violent Ken would own. Judging by the concept art it won't happen but I wish he had his poofy hair.
