I mean, what does she DO tho, at least the Dolls have established gimmicks. Will she be able to summon zombies or some poo poo?

God, I swear I'm trying to leave this topic to you misguided souls that enjoy SFV, but the season 2 roster possibilites sound like garbage unless Capcom goes super hard into guest character territory.

I'm all for new characters but I feel like this is something you mix and match on not just go the entire season is new except Akuma.

Honestly, if SFV had anything like MKX's holiday towers that'd be a fun game mode. Would probably need to disable mirror matches but it'd be interesting for a minute.

Instead SFV continues to punish people who try to play the game, like it knows it's bad and is trying to save people from themselves.

It's really not hard to get fight money through character stories, survival and trials if you don't want to spend money. I've got 3 of the DLC characters so far.

thats not sustainable into season 2 and no one wants to do survival or no one would have bitched about the color unlocks till they monetized that too.

Story literally gives you 30K lmao.

a character is 100K

I want urien but I don't feel like spending even more time just to play someone i might not like.

I'd really rather them just release SSFV then keep this poo poo up.

This game already has more in dlc (cosmetic and characters and stages) then if you'd bought everything in sf4 on its own at release prices.And that was over the span of like 5 years.

What's funny is that we all know how there are dedicated people who get platinums in every game or whatever.

There is a trophy on ps4 for having 1,000,000 fight money and .1% of the people who played the game have it.

Even hard to get things sit at .8-2% or so.

It's the only sf5 trophy for ps4 near that, so platinum is also at the same .1%



The people getting it at using turbo sticks and leaving the game in training over night with match request on.

Uh, the core complaint is still they decided to charge for a full price game AND simultaneously do Freemium, so it's the best of both worlds for them, and the worst for the buyer. It's been that complaint since Day 1, and it's an incredibly lovely thing to do.

Yeah it now takes probably a couple of months of playing a decent amount and doing the missions to be able to unlock a character. You can hate the business model and that is all well and good but it is a lot different than it was a few months back when buying characters with FM was almost literally impossible without botting the queue.

Fallout 4, Bioshock, BF1, really a long list of games that do this same poo poo. Yeah it's lovely, but why wouldn't Capcom do it when the business model has been so successful for other games?

None of those games were released with like 1/4th the functionality of the last iteration of the series much less other games in their genres.

DLC is not a new thing, it's the percentage of game 'included' vs the percentage in the DLC. As others have noted, base SFV was/is very lightweight, in terms of how much more of the game was DLC, when taken in comparison to it's competitors both externally (GG, MKX, Tekken) as well as it's predecessors from Capcom themselves.
