Street Fighter V: A Preliminary Thread

June Update details

Cinematic Story: “A Shadow Falls”

The SFV Story Expansion is a 3~4 hour experience titled “A Shadow Falls” and will be released at the end of this month as free DLC to all SFV players. The 5 chapter story takes place between Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter III and bridges the events that happen in between the two stories. This is the first time in franchise history that fans will be able to play through this type of cinematic experience in a Street Fighter game.

The Street Fighter V Cinematic Story Expansion, “A Shadow Falls,” depicts the ultimate battle between the evil Shadaloo organization and the heroic World Warriors who rise up against them. Seven “Black Moons” are deployed by Shadaloo, granting M. Bison unimaginable power and enveloping the earth in total darkness. Seeing the moons mysteriously appear in the sky, Ryu, Ken, and Chun-Li embark on an epic journey around the world to retrieve fragment pieces that are the key to stopping the “Black Moons” before it’s too late. Along the way, they encounter the rest of the World Warriors, each of whom have their own agendas and motivations in mind. The final battle between good and evil begins now… who will RISE UP?

The next related piece of awesome news: all six DLC characters are fully playable in the story mode. That’s right, in addition to Alex, Guile, and Ibuki, that means that Balrog, Urien, and Juri are also playable! The official release of these characters will not be until later in the year, which means everyone will get to play them in advance through this mode. For the DLC characters that haven’t been released at the time the story comes out, those characters shouldn’t be considered final or tournament ready, as they still need to be properly polished and balanced. So, think of this as a free preview of the characters and enjoy playing with them before they get officially released in the other competitive game modes.

Finally, you’ll be able to earn Fight Money from completing the story mode as well! A higher difficulty becomes unlocked after clearing the normal mode, which you can also earn extra Fight Money from:

Normal Mode= 30,000 FM

Extra Mode*= 50,000 FM

TOTAL= 80,000 FM

*Extra Mode (higher difficulty) unlocks after you complete Normal mode

In-Game Currency System Changes

We have an important announcement regarding the in-game currency system. We will no longer be introducing Zenny to Street Fighter V as a real money currency option. After extensive testing and development, we came to the conclusion that it was not necessary in order to carry out our original vision for the product. Instead, we will be utilizing the PlayStation Store and Steam stores to carry out real money transactions.

Our plan for the in-game economy of SFV was always to provide players with choice. Fight Money remains as the basic currency that players can earn for FREE through gameplay and utilize to purchase characters and other awesome downloadable content like stages and costumes. For players who want to just purchase the content outright, instead of introducing Zenny, the process will be much more familiar with purchases happening through the established first party infrastructures.

The in-game store will be upgraded with the PlayStation Store and Steam real money purchase options as part of the update in late June. At the same time, the free trial period for Alex and Guile will come to an end as we previously had stated. Players will need to either obtain the characters through Fight Money, real money, or the season pass to continue using them after the update. We hope that everyone has enjoyed throwing down with these fearsome fighters and feels inclined to pick them up after testing them out during the free trial period!

We know fans have also been wondering about how content will be priced, so we created this handy chart which breaks down the content in Fight Money and real money pricing:



Additional Content in June Update

The premium Battle Costumes for every character released so far will go on sale this month, and will be available for purchase with real currency only.

Story mode costumes will also be available for purchase this month, meaning you will no longer need to complete the Character Stories to gain access to the content. Story mode costumes can be purchased with either Fight Money or real currency. We’ll be breaking down all of the costumes coming with the June update in another blog this month. There may be even more surprises in store, so stayed tuned!

Future Content

Daily Challenges are currently being re-tooled and optimized for the game, and we will share the new timing of this feature as soon as we more details. The feature will now be called “Targets,” and they will still be daily goals for players to complete and generate Fight Money, which can be used to purchase in-game content like new characters and costumes. New single player modes including Extra Battle and Versus CPU are also in the works. We’ll share more details on these modes and features as soon as we can.

Read your post wrong at first...they need to give a date..

In other news, Daigo got wrecked by that Chinese Ryu. Bas making me feel bad for not going to EVO now

[Krandor]

PC version you know they'll hack that shit and make Balrog/Juri/Urien playable.

[Weltall]

I'm interested to see how well/shitty Urien and Juri look.

[Krandor]

I also see as part of the update they're giving up on the zenny store and just making it all PSN/Steam dlc

[Akiyama]

I think they'll look pretty good. The true test is how awful will their faces look

[Nitsuki]

So long as juri doesn't look busted like ibuki without the mask then i'll be ok.

[Deejay]

They're giving Urien actual clothes? I was assuming they'd go he Seth route and just make him look like a moving statue

So the higher tier collectors editions of the game sold in Japan came with zenny coupons. With Capcom now getting rid of zenny said coupons will now only be worth fight money, which means they can't be used to purchase premium costumes.

Some Japanese owners of the game are rightly pissed.

[Weltall]

Lol so the JP have been bitching on 2ch ever since the Ibuki delay, but this is new. It looks like the JP are now posting pics and vids on 2ch and Twitter destroying their SFV discs LOL.

I guess the extra 3 frames is officially intentional. So taking it away means they'll have to rebalance the whole game.

Game sucks. Needs work. Should have waited a year. Would be 100% dead without Capcom protour.

Sadly the bonus pots might have been put there on a long term contract for several years in order for Sony to get console exclusivity. So we are stuck with this POS because everyone thinks they are a top 8 Tournament player.

Sad face because I would really like to play USFIV more often.

[Krandor]

I'm a little glad everyone backed out of Evo so I could stop playing.

[Callisto]

I'm coming in Wed night so I can hopefully chill and get some good food before the work starts lol

[Deejay]

I want to go for Guilty Gear practice but it looks like that's not happening

Like I said before, they need to switch gears and start working on a new SF. Keep supporting this POS (they have to or else = evil greedy company, which they are) and pray the peeps will continue to support them. No amount of fucking bowing and PLEASE UNDERSTAND will work.

I mean, we already knew that here. The longer the message field (packets sent) = increases efficiency (less transmission errors). Capcom just needs to find a balance in the speed of the game, they should ninja'd it lol. That would be the most optimal solution than removing frames, which would be a gigantic fucking nightmare.
