It comes with the first two SPs. Including the Battle Outfits.
I do, too, but after a long reflection I had on this, I realized that Sakura without a skirt would make as much sense as Chun without tights, Cammy with pants, or Juri without baggy pants. Sakura's iconic silhouette would be pretty badly compromised without a skirt or at least something flowing off of her waist (like a short dress or a really big shirt).
We already know how bad one of those turned out. Let's avoid ruining my second favorite female SF character.
new content is cool and all but... it's a shame that the gameplay is going to be just as bad to watch as it is now, and there's no hope for that changing either, as they would have to change the game way to much.
An example being making fireballs good again, there's way to much anti fireball stuff in the game (every character being given tools to nullify fireballs) for that to change. Same with normal being stubby and pretty much everything else :/

As in "Heathcliff"
tbh its exchangeable since it works either way.
Chun Li - SF2
Guile - SFA
I still think Nash should took Guile's spot.

You won't get the characters for free, but you'll get the rest of AE's bonuses.

So, would it be smarter to get regular SF5 for $15-20 now, or pay $40 for all the characters. Are they that hard to get? I'd be playing on PC.

If you're playing on PC, it'll be VERY easy.
You can use mods to make survival mode (good source of FM) a cakewalk on all difficulties if you really want to.
All new GAMEPLAY FEATURES are free. So everything apart from characters and costumes.

It's too late to go back now. I already invested too much training time into Menat and I liked Mika but she was boring to play and was never my style. I never played a grappler before sf5 seriously. She got me a long way but after she lost her rope throw full screen backdash I decided she has lost the momentum she once had. Menat is tough... very tough but I enjoy that. I enjoy trying to win technically.

I would if in the Arcade Paths the opponent characters will use their appropriate Nostalgia Costume when you meet them...
Aww man, this is confusing... ^^
So on the disc of the Arcade Edition, there will be all characters so far....or they will have to be downloaded still? So the disc just carries the license to do that, so to say?
Also, the new stages will NOT be included except for Guile's? Am I reading this right?

I think he's right, Chun's best theme/outfit was in the Alpha series. Guile looked like the World Warrior match up portrait in the sprite during Alpha.
Dear Capcom,
Keep Sakura's school girl outfit as default.
Sincerely,
That one guy who cares about Ono's feelings.
Guile was barely in an Alpha game (Alpha 3 console and Upper).
Chunners was in every Alpha game.
Honestly, they just need to add DLC characters + stages, split the 4 difficulties into 5 (10 fights, 20, 30, 40, 50), add selectable power up strengths (not random), and it'd be passable. Not good, but passable.

Jumping in at this point it would be extremely hard for you to earn 12 characters with just the base roster to earn with.
I would advise waiting until the next Steam sale, as the 2017 deluxe edition will surely be around 40 bucks. That way you'll get all the characters you'd get from Arcade Edition, then the free update in January, plus you can start playing sooner, which will help you earn enough fight money to buy the first S3 character as soon as they are available.
Not when Nash is more important to SFV's story than Guile especially given Nash is a major Alpha rep.

Once I unlock characters are they just part of my save file or how is that saved? So if i lost my save file somehow am I screwed?

Character unlocks, like fight money and league points are all stored server side. As long as you have your CFN account you'll have your characters. I'm not sure SFV has save files but I guess it stores your settings somewhere.
As far as local storage, all character updates are mandatory downloads so you'll be downloading some big ass patches in the future regardless of which characters you unlock.

I'm pretty sure it's mandated by law somewhere that nobody's allowed to just like Juri.
Seems you like her a lot.
I totally don't know where that avatar comes from.
But how else will Ono get those $4 from the Nostalgia costume?

Great update and it's nice to have a release date since they can just add/show more stuff by then. Also I hope this means they can show Zeku soon at NYCC maybe? I just want them to drop info on him already so we can *hopefully* have a new silhouette roster pic for the next season to speculate about....well besides Sagat/Sakura of course.
Also wasn't there a rumor about a Season 2 story mode not to long ago? The story mode was serviceable and I wouldn't mind playing through a new one for more Fight Money.

There's some weird foot fetish clause isn't there?

Guess I'll double dip on PS4 and try out the rest of the DLC characters I never had enough FM for on the PC.
The random announcement on a Thursday is kind of a bummer though. This should have been a Capcom Cup or PSX announcement... instead we get jet-lagged Ono in Times Square with knockoff Minions and Smurfs in the background of the video.... kind of suiting for the hap-hazard way this game has been handled so far I guess.

If you buy SFV now, you will get access to the new arcade mode + v-trigger 2 in a free update. The quote relating to the characters is only for those buying the repackaged game (mostly related to the physical copy). Think of it as buying Fallout 4 or The Witcher 3 GOTY or Horizon complete version.
For an example related to fighting games, it's like buying Mortal Kombat XL which give you all the DLC content + upgraded netcode while owners of Mortal Kombat X received the netcode upgrade (but had to buy the DLC characters).

eh, not really. Rashid and F.A.N.G are really the core of the story more than anybody else.
They are still pretty darn heinous when it comes to Gundam Versus DLC units. Harada might have been the saving grace for Tekken 7.

Many have noticed that this AE is packed with FM from the start. All the modes and 28 characters might give you enough FM for more that two seasons of characters. I managed to get 2 seasons of characters plus 2-3 stages with the FM only. However I don't know exactly how much comes for the weekly missions (probably a third). This comes to an end though since I am now running out of FM. So I was thinking of buying the season pass for season 3, and in the end, it's not really different than the SFIV situation (buying the updated version of the game every 2 years). But this virtual economy creates an interesting situation I never thought about before.
As an owner of the vanilla SFV, I thought all the characters would unlock on January 16th. It seems it is not the case (reading the previous posts) and it kind of makes sense. People would just wait for Zeku to unlock. Also if you don't mind grinding again, you could just create a new PSN account and restart SFV with the copy you own (you still have to grind all the modes again).
Still, $40 for AE seems more interesting than a $30 season 3 season pass. Is this the price of your free time and your attachment to your CFN id?

lol its not random. NYCC is this weekend and they have a panel there. PSX is all the way in December and this releases in Jan 2018 - that wouldnt be much time for marketing build up.

Well, looks like another long-time SF fan can finally invest in the latest game. Looks like a lot of what I expected, though the various forms of Arcade Mode are a nice touch, and I wonder what gameplay changes, moves, properties will be altered for what was. Really hoping all the characters and changes are on-disc and not codes to be downloaded.
More importantly, I hope Capcom never makes enough questionable decisions like they have with a release of a game like they did with vanilla V to keep me away from a game I wanted to get for this long.
And thank Garlador for describing again why guys like us we're waiting for this.

Someone please confirm this. If the characters are just codes then it's a deal breaker for sure.

Guarantee it replaces the vanilla game everywhere. Just like Ultra SF4 did to SF4 arcade

Highly doubt thatll be the case. Capcom knows that tournaments need these compilation packs to have all the content.

uhh why wouldn't it be....it was also already in the trailer...
This game is two for two for cover art.
I know what this is like. I mained Laura and I got a long way with her, but a I switched over to Juri and have been putting in work. It's been hard as hell tbh and she's probably the most challenging character I've had to learn in all my time playing FGs. But it's been rewarding. A win feels much more fulfilling and I'm seeing SFV in another way. In a way it's improved my game sense.
