SF5 Collector's Edition and Pre Order Costumes Announced

Dang all the alts look amazing but Cammy's is especially awesome since she's my main. May have to switch my preorder from Amazon to Best Buy because the statue is pretty sweet too. Hmm.
 
Cammy's face looks different (as in "better"), or it is just me ?

Hate retailer exclusive DLC crap. Especially since of course they're gonna charge for them otherwise. If there are going to be preorder bonuses, they should be the same everywhere or these types of things should become free down the line.

Alternatively, they could have not given us any preorder DLC at all and later charged us for ALL of them.

I'm bummed by this, too, but I'll take one free costume over zero.
 
The only issue I have with Chun-Li's alt is that there is clearly more leg than dress.

Though, I don't think that's really an issue ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Oh my god those costumes look so cool!!

Will definitely use this costume for Ryu and Cammy. Please don't make me wait a random amount of time so I can buy them after the game is out.

Maybe this isn't the appropriate thread but does anyone know when/what games are available to buy digitally from Best Buy? I'd like to buy digitally as I expect to play for awhile and I'd never not swap discs but I'd like to enjoy the benefits of GCU.

Retailer exclusive content is gross but...

...goddamn. First V has the only Ken design I've ever liked and now it has the only Ryu design I've ever liked. Beard Ryu is fucking badass!

They'll most likely be selling all of them after launch, which is good because I want them all.

I get the feeling bearded Ryu was originally intended to be the default design for this game, but they made it an alt so they could keep the classic look for promotional stuff.

There is no way they even considered changing Ryu's default design, it's way too iconic.

Kind of frustrating to be honest. Ryu and Cammy alts look better than their defaults and it upsets me that they aren't the defaults.
 
As has been said many times in the thread, I can't imagine a scenario where Capcom doesn't release these costumes for all platforms some time post-launch. They've said that SFV won't have multiple expansions like previous iterations and that all gameplay DLC will be earnable in-game for free.

DLC costumes are pretty much the only things they have to sell to consumers so it doesn't make sense for these to be pre-order exclusive for the game's entire lifespan-- which will probably be more than a few years.

WHAT??? Ryu costume is exclusive to Gamestop??? fuck! I cannot order from there...

I want that costume over any other, in any case, I hope it can be bought

They really babyface'd Cammy.

Anyway, when are they going to start working on improving the backgrounds? Or is that as good as it gets?

Those are legit tempting costume! No wonder they let us unlock DLC charecters for free, those costume will make tons of money!

Retailer exclusives in a collector's edition package? That's absolute poison to the fan who wants it all. Basically I can only choose one of those costumes, right? I like them all.

I like cammy's outfit its kinda neat but could they have made chun's outfit any less skimpy like geeze

exclusives are lame, looks like I gotta cancel my amazon pre order and get a GameStop one instead

It's a shame that said Ryu costume isn't his default. Though if I recall, this game is in between 4 & 3, so it wouldn't make much sense for such a radical change (even if Ken can be brought up as a counter to this argument).

Damn, so digging that Cammy alt. Can't say I'm too thrilled with having to PO the CE though, nevermind retailer specific nonsense.



They aren't related. You do not need the CE for the costumes. They are retail exclusive though, which sucks but at least you don't have to fork out $100 for 1 of them.

It's freaking bullcrap that I can't get all of them :[ Since I'm on PC I actually can only get Chun's costume AKA the only one I didn't like, lol. The rest are improvements over their default outfits.
