Nice to see the Golden Soldiers give out FM three times. Now they need to increase FM from winning matches on ranked and casual.

This is generally the same amount of FM we got with the challenges before they nerfed those

Thats not taking into account the rest of the ways they took out too, shit is wack

Actually we're getting a decent deal more, in total. Like 6K more a month, weeklies+extra battle combined.

Before AE most people could get about 5500 FM a week guaranteed with just the easy SP stuff. This latest set gives you a chance to get 9000 FM, but if you lose all your golden soldier fights your net gain gets busted down to 1250 FM.

Don't try to punish the soldier when it does it lunging attack, he's invincible during his recovery lol, just hit him with cross-ups and jump ins, zone him out too.

Vega leap with High Punch, High Punch combo spam.

Easy extra battle wins

Except Shin Akuma of course that guy's a jerk

Random idea but imagine if they changed up C Viper to make her more Bond-esque and with a moveset similar to Marvel Infinite Black Widow and brought back optic laser (with a long startup time) from MVC3 for her v skill.

The AI fuckers read your inputs, too. I didn't land a single SPD against Rashid or Gold Shadaloo, they always neutral-jumped to avoid it.

Goldie almost got me too, my last fight had me barely surviving with a fully charged HP. Lol

Speaking of Rashid... it just hit me, I neither enjoy playing him nor do I like Viewtiful Joe that much.. idk why did I waste 5000k FM on those two pieces. Should've probably waited for the Monster Hunter event for Ken and Mika. But I guess since I already did half of Viewful Joe I might as well get the other two pieces.
Well who knows when you'll be able to get it again. I think it's an ugly uniform and I'm a huge Viewtiful Joe fan (the helmet is too DK Mode-like, needs to be a little smaller), but I'm gonna get it because it's available right now.

Ya I did the same thing and I don't even know what Viewtiful Joe is. Just thought might as well for the hell of it but I didn't realize they were going to start throwing 3 at a time at us. I'm also not too confident that the final piece will be easy; same goes for those 10K FM goldies.

Well I bought the 3rd Season Pass! Honestly I only bought it cause I didn't want to miss out on the bonus skins before the 31st.

Now I'm wondering if it was a good idea lol.

Has Ryu always been able to combo mp mp hp hk? I left after S1, but I think I only ever had mp hp hk in my brain for some reason.

So i guess I just wasted 5000 fight money because I didn't get around to playing the Extra Battle last week for Rashid's VJ costumes and I didn't really understand what I needed to do to get it.

So I have this worthless gem and I can never get all 4 to get the costume.

It takes a whole month to earn a costume and fights are so stupid easy that it's more like a formality (or hassle). Why not just charge 10k FM for the costume?

And I guess I can never get the costume, or I'll have to wait who knows how long for it to come back around.

Not impressed. Why even let you participate in the subsequent battles if you can't get all the gems if you missed one? And why not just let people run all 4 battles instead of stretching it out a month?

I'm gonna bitch about one more thing: it costs the same amount in fight money as you get for clearing the 2500 FM weekly mission (thanks for halving it despite giving us more shit to spend FM on, Capcom!), which is also stupid easy and pointless.

What is the point of any of this crap having us jump through hoops doing shit that isn't fun or interesting?

The point is to create and increase continued player engagement. Should've kept up to date breh.

p.s. with the extra battle stuff we now get more monthly FM than before.

Seems from reading here the gold soldier AI is kinda all over the place? Literally the only thing I did in all three fights was land jump-in combos. I think it was blocked like twice in three fights.

While that may be true, let's not pretend that stripping out FM from survival without creating another avenue didn't screw over the player base. Adding arcade mode to the Arcade Edition and not pushing it as the single player attraction with FM is incredibly asinine. Furthermore, weekly FM used to be pretty much guaranteed whereas now they expect you to gamble with it.

Beat the golden soldier twice with Bison. The last fight I was inpatient and played sloppy and he KO'd me. I think these extra battles read inputs and also block your inputs to make it harder. It's fucked up, like some of the later fights in EX story mode.

Golden soldier is pretty dumb but also does huge damage, I can imagine him going full Shin Akuma after just tweaking his AI to be more scummy in later apperances. In any case, Abigail is serving me well in those Extra Battles.

He definitely reads inputs. My strategy was to just avoid attacking him on the ground entirely save for a few counter attacks. Like with survival AI, jumping attacks are the way to go. I wonder if it's because by the time you press your button in the air the CPU doesn't have any moves that start up fast enough to beat your attack.

I'm not sure if it's really asinine when what Capcom wants is for people to engage with the game online, and therefore have a higher chance of engaging with their DLC store. They've made this decision very obviously on purpose.

It'd be better if they hadn't halved weeklies, or if Arcade Mode at least gave you some sort of XP rewards, but it is what it is. I think calling it a gambling is a bit much when we have literal slot machines in other games, though.

This is without a doubt the best season so far. I'm having more fun than ever with the game and matches feel great.

phew you need to play flawless as sakura against some characters to have a chance. the upside of playing a garbo tier character like her tho is that my gameplay with my main has improved as a result of being forced to play good to get anything done

Given that they removed all single time FM gains, it makes sense that arcade doesn't allot any. Peeps wanted their AI ladder with ending bit, they got it. Not like they didn't give ample time beforehand to torture yourself with survival, getting rid of any reason to play that sorry mode is a mercy.

Is survival still the only way to unlock colors without buying them?

If only they do more on the online side and teach people how to play fighting games.

Seeing a lv 80 character struggling at staying at Gold on Rank is wrong.

I guess we have to wait until SFVI for that.

I wonder if they'll ever revamp their in-game DLC store? It's a bit cumbersome to roll through all the DLC costumes now

Learn the Anti-AI Moves and use them against the Gold Soldiers, save your actual fighting skills for online. That's been the rule for any annoying computer AI's like MK9 Shao Kahn, SCIII Night Terror or any of the SNK Bosses, be thankful this ones a lot easier than those.

So weird that Arcade Mode does not have character intros before each fight. It's like a major component of SFV's presentation is missing there.

And yet they show up every time you fight someone in Survival, a mode that could use some seriously speeding up.

I bought the 2017 complete digital edition during the January EU sale, and booted it up again last night for the first time since the arcade edition update. That opening cinematic is so hype. It's even better seeing it on my TV screen.
