That Laura costume....

The costume colors in the store only apply to the default costume. Alternate costumes have their own colors to unlock/buy probably.
They REALLY want this game to last. Welcome to grinding in a fighting game.

This is lame, if I buy a premium costume I should get all the colors with it.
 
Ken is in his 40s, not his teens. This isn't KoF
No one else has aged except Bison. Ryu grew a beard, Birdie grew fat and Vega got really bad plastic surgery and now looks like a Chuckie doll. SF V Ken is just a really shitty character model. Doesn't look older, just like a much uglier, entirely different person.
That fan picture would be 1,000,000 times better.
 
Yep, paying 4 bucks for that Karin alt. I need that. I got Cocktail Dress Karin today, that'll have to do until Zenny store opens.

I hate myself for giving Capcom more money.
 
I love Zangief! Birdie is really funny. Karin's is better than her original costume.

Oh, I guess that's a Queen's crown on Birdie then.

This is the LoL model. Not the SFIV model. You aren't meant to own them all.

Sorry, I don't buy that for this game. You cant just come off your last title and jack up the costume cost over 400%. That's not reasonable even if characters are earnable.

I bought the season pass, so I paid for the characters already. I'm not getting any freebies.

Yeah, I'm getting that Laura alt for sure. Time to go back to survival I guess.

Also, most of these are actually pretty damn good!
 
The way they did the color unlocks is a truly magnificent shitting from great heights. Literally nobody is happy or having fun with that. The strangest part of it is that the tournament scene they so publicly embrace with this game is understandably devoid of PS4s with the unlocked colors. We're in a weird phase with fighting games... the PS4 was not designed to properly accomodate tournaments and Capcom themselves add to the problem with their own weird decisions. And then there's Ken's face.

You don't see the unlocks because those consoles are usually lent to them by Sony, a sponsor or its some random person's console. I actually like that the colors are so "hard" to get just makes them more special when I play with my Light Pink Karin
 
Ken's only problem is that he doesn't look one bit like Ken Masters. The costume itself is fine.

Most of the costumes are okay to great. Gief is best.
Do we have a shot of "The Crow" Necali in V-Trigger?

Less than thrilled with what we got for Alex, but I like/love the rest -- including Ken's.

Because I hate Ken.

i honestly couldnt care less about colors
but i DO think it would be a lot cooler if the colors were hard to get, in more fun ways
tie it to character level or ranked matches or something

survival mode is just tedious and shitty

Most of them look great.

We already are going to be able to get characters, other costumes and colors by playing, but I'd love to get these costumes too.

But well, it's the price of not having to pay $60/$40 for a revision with gameplay tweaks, rebalances, new characters and a few modes, because we'll get this for free and without splitting the userbase.

I'd have started with more singleplayer content like the March update + arcade mode, but other than that it's a great model for me.

Can't wait to see more content like new stages, and let's hope they make a second season pass for premium content (stages + costumes).

I love all of them* It would be different if this was it but I'm sure we will continue to get skins at a decent rate here and there.

*ken is absolute failure tho

This is the Dead or Alive model. Not the SFIV model. You aren't meant to own them all.
Fix'd

Then again Dead or Alive costumes cost 1.99 (characters cost the same as a SFV costume) there are bundles AND they have a really cool Free to Play version of the game (the Core Fighters edition).
 
I actually greatly prefer Ken's alt over his default costume. I think the short hair and street clothes go better with his... "interesting" face. His default doesn't mix well in my opinion.

Still not enough for me to switch my though
