I was responding to the comment about SFV FM implementation and how things like costumes and characters arent given away for free. I know this is for their CPT event.

Your feelings on SFV putting ad during fights
- Thread starter Gunslinger
- Start date
It allows me to use shit that I haven't paid for and it can be turned off. It is not a problem for me.
"The company that --
- did on disc DLC
- did pay to win gems
- charges $4.99 for single costumes instead of bundles
is totally not going to take this further, guys! Stop whining!"
There's something to be said for having a modicum of creative respect for your property. It's one thing to have special CPT ring and stadium-style stages with sponsor tickers or screens in the back to give the big event feeling. However, the ads all over the actual character costumes take it to a whole other level of creative bankruptcy, regardless of whether they can be turned off or not. They should not have gone there.
Do the ads delay the match starting? Because from that video, it looked like the ad that shows up right before the stage appears is delaying the match.
If that is the case, I will be turning them off. (And fuck you Capcom, for disrespecting people's time.)

Yep, I don't see how anyone who has any history with this series and characters can look at those ads and think this series deserves this. This is something I'd expect some bottom tier developer to do with some no-name characters. To have ads plastered on some of the most well known and longest running characters in gaming history is an insult, and shows a big lack of respect toward the property.
Where is the "Shao Khan" is a pre order DLC thread? Where is it?
It's tacky, but since the only thing it's advertising is their own pro tour, I don't mind so much. If they start putting actual brands in I'll be pretty pissed off, the red bull costumes are already a step too far, don't put branded logos on characters. You have the entire rest of the game's UI for that, and stages.
Still looking forward to Capcom Cup though! Buff Karin, and a slew of other characters. Break cammy's legs.

That's the whole point of them, to get companies to buy the ad space for the brands. The CPT logos are placeholders.
Yes, DBFZ give you a bunch of USELESS GARBAGE. Meanwhile in SFV you can get characters, what actually matters, without spending a dime. Literally the only fighter where this is possible.
You must also be really happy about the shower heads, rubber duckies and other assorted weird shit you can unlock in Tekken, while being just fine about how they charged $25 for a season pass that only had two characters. And apparently nobody cares that Shao Kahn is pre-order DLC in MKXI. I wonder what the reaction would be if Bison was pre-order DLC in SF6 lol.
This ad shit is horrendous, but I'm super fed up by people decrying the implementation of FM in SFV, who are frankly just not thinking straight (and probably don't even play the game). SFV is actually the only fighter on the market with a DLC system that is moderately consumer friendly. Thanks to people like you mindlessly moaning about this shit characters in SF6 are probably only going to be purchasable with real money like every other fighter. Thanks.
If the characters were literally the only thing that cost Fight Money, there wouldn't nearly be this much bellyaching.
It may be what actually matters, but when they decide to apply the same FM requirement to costumes, stages, titles, modes, seasonal events...that may all be USELESS GARBAGE to you, which fair enough. But considering it's literally all of the content in the game, whereas every other fighting game offers the USELESS GARBAGE at no extra cost, then SFV is clearly a greedy gollum by comparison.
And don't kid yourself: if they added accessories to the characters like Tekken and Soul Calibur does, you can bet that would all be behind a FM paywall as well.
Source: Getting other companies to give you money to show their logos is how ads work. Of course it's not for Capcom only advertising, Capcom isn't that stupid that they don't understand how ads work. The CPT logos is pretty much "Your ad here" advertisements to other companies.
Seeing those logos on Bison or Dhalsim is a sad state of affairs.
Darkest Timeline in SF for sure.
Yes you can turn them off, Does not change the fact that it is hideous.

I guess we will have to wait and see. I thought he meant that the ads only being place holders was something stated in a interview. Depending on how much backlash they get for this, that might not happen.
Quick someone photoshop Ryus face onto the this Waynes World Gif.
The Ad-Style costumes already make the cast look like Reebok Garth:
Yup. We did this for 1vs100. We knew we had to have ads so instead wanted to make it part of the experience which worked well for a gameshow. We had to stub in things to pitch various brands so they could understand what they were paying for as it was not traditional ad space.
+ installed a rootkit on its players' PCs but their shills still defend them
The general public hasn't really paid attention to SF since I was like in 7th or 8th grade when SF2 was popular
And people are still going to bitch about it. Probably a lot of the same faces, too.
I don't know what kind of fighting game player are you, but characters are immensely more important than everything you mentioned. I'll take having to "spend" a miniscule amount of FM to get a a couple of titles I like if that got me to play the first two seasons of SFV without spending any actual money. The reason Capcom nickel and dimes you for other stuff like costumes is fairly simple: to make up for the fact that the bulk of their season passes can be unlocked for free. That's a trade I'll take any day. And thankfully I don't suffer from some life-crippling form of OCD that forces me to get every single thing that's in the game.
In any case SFV has been continually been updated with new and improved modes over the last three years, at no extra charge. Arcade Edition was a free update for everyone. This year a large assortment of new premium costumes were made (easily) unlockable (yes, you have to use up five minutes -oh the humanity- of your precious time four times a month to get them). You should count yourself lucky ArcSys isn't charging a fee for a yearly balance patch with DBFZ as they usually do. Or maybe they will next year, who knows!
And speaking of "events", the Capcom ProTour is well supported and a big success. Meanwhile on the Tekken side the winner of the World Tour Finals went home with $10K I think, was it? This weekend the winner of the Capcom Cup will be getting $250K. Maybe Namco should consider giving a shit about its community. Not even gonna mention how NRS fighters evaporate after a year of existence.
I definitely agree. :smug
As Capcom pursues the esports realm then ads during gameplay is part of that. To grow their brand as an esports thing they will have to be able to implement ads on a near constant basis and the ugly ass bandaid ads are a quick way to do that. At best SF6, or late SFV, will have better placement or entire alts like the Red Bull ones earlier this year or something akin to Soccer/football jerseys and in-stadium ads.
If I buy Ultimate Edition of IJ2, I still have to buy Darkseid separately. lol
The rootkit thing is miles more embarrassing, and anti-consumer than any DLC. Which, btw, I'm not going to defend, but Shao Kahn may had been developed with DLC budget, you know, the excuse SF fans love to use to defend a dozen of characters being locked out of SFxT?
Man, ya'll got long memories for Capcom when NRS doing scummy shit today.
So why I still got to buy Darkseid separately from the ultimate edition of IJ2?
That makes sense. On PC load times are super quick but am guessing the Ad is set to display for the same set time on PS4 and PC.

And still not as bad as the recent rootkit installing from Capcom. Why do I still have to buy several characters if I buy the latest SFV:AE edition, btw?
No, we're in 2018, and Capcom is still pulling shitty stunts like in-game ads and installing rootkits on its fans' PCs. The people that used to buy their game may have been left in 2012, though.
For a couple of titles I like.
And like I said, I'm personally not some madman that needs to get everything, especially for characters I don't even use. You do you though. Rev up those outrage motors.
The utter ridiculously of making it seem like you just have to get every single title in the game. I can't even.
