Alright then, because I'm willing to pay for the colors and costumes. But, I'm not willing to grind through anything.

You value your time.

I will post all that is available when I get home.

You get 5 new colors that are different than the ones you unlock from survival.

New colors (not from Survival), 34 costumes, and more: Street Fighter 5's in-game store contents discovered

Street Fighter 5's in-game store is set to officially launch tomorrow, along with Alex. Players will be able to use their earned Fight Money to purchase various items that can be used in play.

Street Fighter V Mods ( SFV Mods ) has done some digging, and has allegedly unearthed the contents of Street Fighter 5's in-game store at launch.

Below is a note directly from the PC modder on what was discovered.


Unless they add more stuff tomorrow, this is what you gonna be able to buy once they open the store:

• 1 Character
• 34 Costumes
• 23 Fighter profile skins
• 149 Title Plates (i feel like a few of these are gonna be super expensive because of bragging rights)
• 80 Colors - All these are for the regular costumes only, no colors for the alt costumes. And they are not the same colors you can unlock via survival, so you gotta keep using the trainer if you want to unlock those. These are new. No japanese edition colors yet apparently.
 

SFV Mods also released a video showing images of each item that you can purchase. Unfortunately, we don't get to see the new colors just yet, however, we can see the small palettes that give us a glimpse at what might be coming very soon.

Heres Alex Trail from eventhubs:

Footage of Alex's complete Street Fighter 5 trials

The Street Fighter 5 Alex footage just keeps rolling in.

Though we've already seen him in action, today we get an even better look at his move set. Timzy921 has managed to complete and record all 10 of Alex's Challenge Mode combo trials.

Below is just a quick GIF to get you started, but be sure to check out all of the trials.

Heres more alternate colors from eventhubs & update info from shoryuken:

See colors 11-15 for the majority of the Street Fighter 5 cast; all intros and Critical Arts performed in alternate costumes

With the latest patch now downloadable, we've seen a ton of new Street Fighter 5 content surface. Visiting LPN's Twitter, we found a collection of new colors for the original costumes for most of the game's cast.

twitter.com/oooitzLpN

We discovered earlier today that the Store would grant us access to colors that are not unlockable via Survival Mode. Here we have threads 11-15 for all characters but Alex, Necalli and F.A.N.G.

We also have intros and Critical Arts for the initial 16 characters performed in their alternate costumes in a video below.

Street Fighter V’s Ver.1.02 Update is Live

Although the Street Fighter V servers are still down for planned maintenance, players can get ready for the moment they go live by downloading the latest patch right now.

Weighing in at over 6 GB, this update reportedly adds Alex to the character select screen (he still won’t be playable until Wednesday, March 30) and other such assets, like his official theme.

After grabbing the update, players can also take part in the new challenge mode.

This one is supposed to be 4 hours so it's much shorter.

Heres a trailer of Alex from eventhubs:

Alex's official Street Fighter 5 trailer released

Street Fighter 5's first DLC character is being released today, and now we have an official trailer to go with him.

Alex joins the fray today, along with Street Fighter 5's in-game store.

New fighters and costumes can be purchased from the in-game store: characters for 100,000 Fight Money each and new costumes for 40,000 Fight Money each. Guile, Ibuki, Balrog, Juri, and Urien will all be joining the playable roster throughout the year as DLC, and each will have their own alternate story mode costume that can be purchased in the shop.

Season pass holders will be given immediate access to Alex and future characters when they are released. Since the Zenny feature -- using real money to purchase content from the in-game store -- isn't ready just yet, Capcom is offering Alex and any other character that are released before the feature is ready for free as a trial period.

Once Zenny is officially live, however, players will have to purchase each of the characters if they want to continue using them.

Finally, as a way to say thanks for the patience and understanding shown by the community throughout the beta phases and launch, Capcom is giving all user Ryu and Chun-Li's story mode costumes free of charge.

Alex and the Street Fighter 5 in-game store are now live.

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

Alex is quite interesting to play against online.

Here info about colors plus more pics from eventhubs:

How to unlock and pricing info for colors 11-15 in Street Fighter 5

With the launch of Street Fighter 5's in-game shop came the option to purchase new colors for each of the characters on the roster. Each fighter was given five new palettes (numbers 11-15), but you may have noticed that some of the later numbers were missing from your menu.

There is a reason for this, and now we know exactly what that is!

The latest installment of Capcom Japan's Saikyo Blog explains that each character's color is unlocked in the shop by acquiring certain levels. The only exception is color 11, which is always available in the shop for every character.

You can find the color unlock breakdown below. 

Color 11 (10,000 FM) - Always available in shop
Color 12 (2,000 FM) - unlocked in the shop at character LV. 5
Color 13 (5,000 FM) - unlocked in the shop at character LV. 10
Color 14 (10,000 FM) - unlocked in the shop at character LV. 25
Color 15 (20,000 FM) - unlocked in the shop at character LV. 50

Heres info about P2 Chun-Li glitch fix from eventhubs:

Player 2 Chun-Li's breasts no longer defy the laws of physics as of Street Fighter 5's latest patch

There's this thing that's been happening in Street Fighter 5, that I'm sure most people have noticed at least once or twice.

But as of Street Fighter 5's latest patch, this no longer occurs, and Chun-Li has now been relegated to mere mortal, abiding by the laws of nature just like the rest of us, even when she's on the player 2 side.

You can see the fix demonstrated in a video below.

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

Level 50 is insane. They really want to emphasize the grind. I still haven't gotten my yellow title yet lol.

Heres video of Snake Eyes & Yoshinori Ono from shoryuken:

PlayStation Explores the Symbiotic Relationship Between Fighting Game Creators, Players

It’s no secret that fighting game players often turn their favorite titles into completely different beasts than what shipped. Sure, creators have a vision for how their games will develop over time, but their potential isn’t truly discovered until they’re put through the rigors of competitive play.

It’s this relationship that’s explored in PlayStation’s latest episode of Makers & Gamers. Red Bull’s Darryl “Snake Eyez” Lewis, fresh off a fifth-place finish at Capcom Cup 2015, ventures to San Francisco, California to meet Yoshinori Ono, whose name has become synonymous with Street Fighter over the past few years. Their conversation is an insightful look into the world of fighting games, the people who create them, and the players that help them evolve.

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

Seems like an other OS is incoming.

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

How do you guys feel about tiers atm?

This isn't definitive but I want to say, Alex is new so I'm not sure on him yet.

Group 1:

Ryu
Chun
Dhalism
Nash
Bison

Group 2:

Birdie
Karin
Ken
Vega

Group 3:

Necalli
Cammy
R. Mika
Laura

Group 4:

Rashid
F.A.N.G
Zangief

Characters can be moved around in their respective groups, just a rough idea.

[azik21]

i would put cammy in group 1.  Necalli group 2.  Bison down to either 2 or 3

Don't agree with Cammy in 1. Other characters do what she does better and have more health/stun. I'd say 5 or 6 characters are definitely better.

Necalli is pretty good. I'm sold there.

Bison could be a 2 but I'm not sold on 3. He lacks mobility but has strong options in other areas.

Check this out. Some pretty detailed stuff:

Here is a large amount of concepts from eventhubs:

Street Fighter 5 concept art shows wounded Abel, interesting form of Oni, Mike Haggar, and many other familiar faces

A large batch of interesting and awesome Street Fighter 5 concept art recently found its way onto the internet.

Included in this gallery are depictions of dozens of familiar characters from the franchise seemingly illustrated by renowned Street Fighter 5 artist, KIKI. You'll find fighters such as Abel, Sagat, Rufus, Eagle, Joe, and even Final Fight's Mike Haggar.

Back in February, we saw similar artwork showing a made up character, Zen, along with a female version of Blanka.

Though this art gallery doesn't confirm that any of these characters will be playable down the road, perhaps we'll be seeing them involved in future characters' story mode sequences.

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

Very nice stuff. Not sure who the blonde girl is though.

[Nyu Nozomi Hyuga]

Heres a look at the statues from eventhubs:

First full sculpt images of the epic Daigo tribute statue from Kinetiquettes, pre-orders set to open around EVO 2016

Back in February, we caught our first glimpse at the upcoming MCZ|Daigo Umehara tribute statue being developed by Kinetiquettes. We were given a look at some concept art for how the diorama will look, along with some small screenshots of Daigo, Ryu, and Evil Ryu's faces.

www.eventhubs.com/news/2016/feb/12/daigo-beast-umehara-14-scale-diorama-being-developed-kinetiquettes-will-feature-ryu-and-evil-ryu/

Today, however, we get to see the full statue, and it looks awesome.

Kinetiquettes has officially released the first images of the final sculpt. Though the photos do not show a fully colored statue, we do get to see intricate details put into this work of art.

www.kinetiquettes.com/

Pricing information and release date are still unknown at this time, but we can expect to see pre-orders go live around EVO 2016 (mid-July).

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

That's a nice looking set. Anybody here buying it?

[Nyu Nozomi Hyuga]

Here are mean Alex's quotes from eventhubs:

Alex confirmed meanest character in Street Fighter 5? His win quotes involve insulting Mika on a personal level, 'fixing his trailer' and more

Street Fighter 5's newest character may also be the game's biggest trash talker. We've got a hold of all Alex's win quotes, and he tends to go for the jugular on a level parallel with Mean Girls in his victory quips.

One of his generic quotes deals with fixing his trailer, and though Alex is known for hes mechanic abilities, we can't help but entertain the idea that maybe this has something to do with the community's distraught in getting the Alex character trailer so late.

Here are unlocking tips from eventhubs:

ICYMI: Street Fighter 5's story mode costume colors are also unlocked by playing Survival

Now that Street Fighter 5's in-game store is up and running, players are using their Fight Money to unlock and use some of the story mode costumes. Upon purchase, however, only colors 1 and 2 are available.

Some may be wondering where the remaining colors are and how to obtain them. Well, we recently discovered that each alternate costume's color set is also unlocked by completing the easy, normal, and hard levels of Survival.

While easy and normal won't be too difficult to beat, players are going to have to weather the storm of hard survival mode once again to get those final costume colors.

You can check out the image gallery of each story mode costume's colors below, and watch a video from edward kane showing Alex's color 3 being unlocked via Survival Mode.

Heres the next character for April from eventhubs:

Guile likely to be April's DLC character, Capcom's Matt Edwards shares info on latest Winner Stays On broadcast

Matt Edwards, Fighting Games Community Manager for Capcom UK, released a bit of interesting information on this week's Winner Stays On session in London.

Edwards has had at least a little behind the scenes time with unreleased characters in Street Fighter 5, and he had some intriguing words about the next fighter to join the SF5 roster. When asked when the next character would be released, Edwards replied by stating,

"I don't know the exact date, it should be Guile, but I don't know the exact date."

If this is indeed the case, the line up image that Capcom gave us appears to order the character releases. If things follow in suit, we should get Guile, Balrog, Ibuki, Juri and then Urien.

You can hear Edwards' brief discussion in the WSO archive.

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

Figured Guile would be next. Seems the more interesting characters won't be out until later then. Tsk.

[Nyu Nozomi Hyuga]

Here are colors for alts. from eventhubs:

Every color for each of Street Fighter 5's current costume options -short-haired Ken, R. Mikaw, and much more

As it stands right now, we are aware of three different costume options in Street Fighter 5 for each character. Everyone on the roster has a default outfit, one unlocked through story mode, and a premium costume.

Though the premium is only available for certain fighters at this time, community members have wasted no time in digging up images and footage of them from within the game.

Steam user 洋娃娃 has put together an image gallery featuring every color for every costume option that can be found among the roster. We've seen a lot of these colors in recent times, but most characters' premium costume palettes hadn't surfaced yet.

Heres Ono response from eventhubs:

'If we had more features ready at launch, [Street Fighter 5] probably would've been better received' - Ono responds to SF5 launch critics

Street Fighter 5 has seen major popularity across the globe after having exploded onto the fighting game scene in no small way. It's release was not exactly spotless however, and Capcom's Yoshinori Ono has spoken with Game Informer to address the less than approving response from part of the community.

"I think it's safe to say that we underestimated the popularity of some of the single-player features," Ono said. "That said, we are excited about the two all-new single-player modes--character story and survival--and we have plans to continue to refine and expand onto those experiences."

Ono goes on to talk briefly about the motivations behind releasing the game in February instead of waiting for a later date.

Many have speculated that the reason SF5 dropped so early was because of it's headline position on the Capcom Pro Tour. While the core fighting aspect of the game was certainly present, not all parts of the single player side seemed to be.

"The Capcom Pro Tour wasn't the only reason for why the game was released when it was. We understand that if we had more features ready at launch, it probably would've been better received by some of our more casual fans who tend to enjoy Street Fighter more via single-player content, as opposed to competitive play," explained Ono.

It should be refreshing for those who are concerned with the game's level of content to now know that Capcom is hearing their pleas. Ono assures us that wrinkles will be ironed out, and that our experiences will only get better.

"We are putting in a lot of effort to smooth out the server problems and address issues such as rage quitters, which is affecting players' online experience," he mentioned. "Once we are able to implement all the fixes we have in store, I'm confident fans will enjoy the online experience that much more."

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

Should I be surprised he didn't know this? Wasn't their point to make it more appealing to casuals?

[Nyu Nozomi Hyuga]

Here are Ono's thoughts on Arcades from eventhubs:

Ono: It's important for us not to lose the arcade legacy in fighting games

It has been a tradition for the Street Fighter series to be released in arcades first, followed by a console version — a tradition that held up until the most recent version of the game, Street Fighter 5, hit gamers on February 16, 2016.

Speaking with Develop, Capcom's Yoshinori Ono elaborated about how important it is to hold onto the arcade legacy — and the difficulties in doing so.

"The best of the arcade experience is the atmosphere, and even the smell of the sweat of the place," said Ono.

"Whether you're looking your rival in the eye, or jostling elbows, that's the arcade spirit. Having a crowd watch you, getting people on your side, saying how great you are, and being a spectator yourself. All of that is key," he said. 

Yoshinori said that culture is something they don't want to lose sight of with the new version of Street Fighter, even though there is no arcade release of the title planned.

"It's important for us not to lose that history and legacy in fighting games, but we also have to face the reality of the fact that most people aren’t taking themselves to arcades anymore," Ono noted.

So how does Capcom go about recapturing that experience in this day and age?

"The spectator experience can come through easy video sharing. We can use the PS4 and PC's great back-end technology to connect people, even if you are in London and I am in Tokyo," stated Ono.

Still, there is some flavor missing from the arcade experience when gaming at home, a fact Ono concedes.

"We can only do the best we can, and we have. But I'm not sure we've managed a digital smell of sweat. Not yet," he concluded.

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

He has a point but the lacking SP content hurt them.
