Is Street Fighter V Worth Buying Now?

I agree with your sentiment wholeheartedly. This game was such a disappointment for a diehard fan like me. I like to have complete experiences in terms of cast, stages and all that and this game soured the experience for me.
 
It may sound a little selfish but people put a lot of time and effort to master these characters. I'm not ever going to be fully on board with this game until they bring back the characters I put a ton of effort to learn in SF4.
 
The what? There's a bunch of ways to get FM and costumes ingame. If you have the Arcade Edition you're only missing 6 characters you can grind pretty easily. Only thing you would have to pay for are Premium costumes and maybe levels. I have MOST of the content in the game minus some premium costumes for characters I would never used and definitely haven't spent a 1000 dollars. Are you playing the same game?

I always see post like this and decided to check something. According to trophies only 1.1% of players have managed to get at least 1 million fight money. Just to get season 3 characters and all the stages alone is 1,390,000 worth of fight money. Then getting all 34 story costumes would be an additional 1,360,000 worth of fight money.

If it's easy to grind, I doubt only 1.1% of the player base would have hit 1 million fight money, which definitely won't be getting much in terms of all the games "free" content. Then I didn't even both to add up all the other stuff, like colors, music, profile designs, tiles, and all that.

Not to mention all the AE nerfs to fight money gain.
