Diabetes, you are not invited to my pizza party.
Remember that scene in A Christmas Story where Ralphie was losing his mind deciding that secret message and then it turned out to be an ovaltine ad? Remember how he felt?

That was me banging my head against Chun Li’s Volume 2 challenge 8.

I spent a good 25 minutes trying to do it. Finally did. 3,000 FM. Three thousand. Son of a b.

Are the rest of the trials this hard? I might want to pick a second character up once Sakura comes out broken. Only played Chun so far this game but I’d like to have some options. I’m at 130k FM, but if it’s going to be insane to get another 70k I’ll just buy some.

Never try the KoF13 trials :v:

There's a couple more that have a trick to them like Karin's 6th trial iirc, but most are trivial. Mashing through all the demonstrations gets you a good wad of fight bucks for the least effort possible.

Not really, two regular and two air throws just like every other post ST version. Geif was unique in that he had like 9 or so normal throws. He actually got some of them back in his Alpha 3 X-ISM version.

What's that Capcom, you're making changes to the fight money system?

Capcom posted:

Beginning January 16, modes that offered one-time finite batches of Fight Money will no longer do so. This includes Character Stories, the General Story (A Shadow Falls), Trials, Survival, and Demonstrations – if you haven’t completed these modes yet, there’s still a few weeks left to do so before the changes occur in January!


Hahah, no more fight money for completing anything outside of weekly challenges, leveling up your characters, or completing the "Extra Battle" mode challenges that reward it. Oh and the extra battle mode? Costs 2500 fight money per attempt.

So if I have the vanilla game but have never bought any characters, will I get any of the season 1 or 2 characters for free since I paid $60 for the game on launch? Or do I have to pay still if I want to get any?

Search your heart for the answer~~


Really I don't think they've said, but I'm going to guess you're not going to get any of the characters in the update. You'd think they'd be yelling about that from the rooftops if it would be anything else.

It would be nice if they at least offered a discounted upgrade package, kind of like the Rev->Rev2 thing.

I think there's some context missing here that's on the Japanese page.

https://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/systemfault/132134

Basically for a good chunk of the FM earned now it's either already completely earned by some players or wasn't going to be earned anyway through things that were too hard. So they're *saying* they're going to make FM earned through the weekly challenges. Will have to see if that winds up true, though.

There was a bug where in edge cases he (Ken) did more damage!

His back throw threw them further too, he was straight up better than Ryu.

No, you still paid $60 or whatever you paid for it when you purchased the game. It would be free if the game was free to play. It's kind of free to play, except for the free part, so its just 'to play' but also it's not really playable because of bad netcode so its just 'to.'

Wait do you have to pick one and only one character to play as in online games? Like... you can't just pick a character when the match starts?
