So Capcom rearranged the Character Select Screen to where all of the SFIII characters are lumped together.

I'd personally also put F.A.N.G opposite to Rashid & Juri opposite to Urien if they were already doing CSS adjustments, but whatever. I guess Balrog being opposite to Urien also makes sense.

EDIT: Oh that's Urien's alt. right? The glasses are pretty cool on him.

That's his Story costume.

Well, all they're moving around are the DLC characters. Cuz, y'know, everyone's probably used to the current layout of the original characters from the betas.

 

[vg260]

Same here. The price hike is ridiculous, and the fact that you can't even earn them for free by playing only adds insult to injury. I went from buying most of the packs in 4 to avoiding the premium costumes in 5 like the plague.

It's one of many issues with SFV where I don't know what the fuck Capcom was thinking.

I disagree about being able to earn them for free. I don't think that's a realistic expectation. They can't give everything away for free. Just price them reasonably.

 

[Mike M]

Yeah, I don't mind having to pay for characters, costumes, and stages so long as they don't cost an arm and a leg. In a dream world, I'd have liked to have seen them take the same route as 4, but making balancing patches available to those who don't upgrade. Hell, even the model they have for paying for characters isn't particularly egregious, but those costume prices and structuring color unlocks to incentivize people to pay more money for fucking additional colors aren't something I can overlook. I love the game, but they're getting far less money out of me than they could have.

 

[Neoxon]

Agreed, or at least allow us to buy all of the costumes of a certain theme in a bundle at a discounted price (Ex: A Summer Costume Pack that costs around 50% less than buying the costumes separately).

 

[Primethius]

I'm trying to get back into the game after a bit of a hiatus and man, I really hope that Capcom takes some time at the end of the season to push a quality of life update out.

There's no reason that getting into the character select screen should take as along as it does. Remove the 3D model loading if you have to. That and a whole bunch of other small improvements would be really welcome.

 

[mnz]

There's actually a new bug I noticed. On the rematch yes/no screen, the other character's level shows up as 0. This happens all the time now.
Am I alone?

edit: This was supposed to end up in the SFV OT

We should be getting another update this November (judging by the release time for the Red Bull alts), so I'd expect some QoL updates around then since Capcom would likely still be preparing for Season 2 as far as characters go.

The problem is that they aren't doing either, LOL.

 

[B-Genius]

YES. Urien is here!

You've gotta respect how they've listened and dealt with the colours. Plus dailies sound pretty solid.

I go on holiday in early Oct, so really glad the update is coming a week earlier than normal!

I'd be all about that. The character select and loading with the 3d models is super unnecessary. Just get me to the fight quick.

Looks like an alternate intro. I hope you can trigger it by holding down a button or something, I hate for it to go unused as it's fucking badass.

It's be cool of capcom to hold onto this secret that he's actually thonged in battle but there's a catch

Im guessing all atk buttons when entering battle

Maybe it's his winning animation... meaning you wont be able to use it in game.

That's his intro animation, dude.

I was thinking that he didn't have the thong in the hype video because the round ended with his CA. Thought he would still strip down if there was more fighting to do. Just a suspicion.

 

[TheTylerRob]

That's his intro animation, dude.

....in third strike.

But that animation in the card was an alternate version of his SFV intro.

Capcom redeemed then.

How do you know? Do they do character intro cards on this twitter or something? I just thought it looked like a victory pose based on the video.

It starts nearly the same way as the intro they normally have shown:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bysTyNnpLQ

The 'palm to the screen' part.

 

[Producer]

Having it be some secret button combo or something sounds too good to be true. Cant think of anything else though.

 

[Neoxon]

You can see here that the transformation happens during an alternate version of his intro animation.

 

[LakeEarth]

He's saying that you can't absolutely tell if its an intro or a win animation because it cuts off the beginning and the end part. He's right, but this new animation shares the "palm to the screen" camera angle that the known intro has, so it most likely is an alternate intro.

PS4 exclusive Thong

This is absolutely what I want. I don't mind paying a little extra for costumes, as they ARE giving us a way to get characters without paying a dime. That being said, the prices could be a little more reasonable.

You can see here that the transformation happens during an alternate version of his intro animation.

I personally have my doubts that it is an intro; however, I want to believe.

 

[Ermac]

So when / how much downtime is there gonna be tomorrow?

 

[Platy]

Says a lot about a game that makes mika shows even more skin but hides Urien's thong on a secret stuff

 

[allintospace]

Could Capcom be about to implement custom intros for characters throughout the game, much like Ryu and Ken fist pump?

 

[JayEH]

?? we don't know anything definitive about the thong right now.

Not on an MU specific level, certainly not.

 

[VariantX]

I would kill to have character specific intros and win poses again

You linked a seven and a half long video... '>_>

Exactly, statements like the one you quoted are just kind off dull when the patch isn't even out yet.

 

[Neoxon]

I personally have my doubts that it is an intro; however, I want to believe.

It is his intro (albeit an alternate version of it). We already know that his victory animation is him firing a Metallic Sphere at the fallen opponent, plus the whole open-hand-to-the-screen thing is specific to Urien's intro animation.

The real question now is what button(s) we have to hold to trigger the alternate intro, when we have to hold it, &/or for how long.

I really hope you are right and it is his intro. I have always a bit doubt because capcom.

 

[Ryce]

There really shouldn't be any doubt -- it's definitely his intro. The first half of the animation comes directly from the standard intro that we've already seen.

Nice! Can't believe I would be this happy about a man wearing a thong in a fighting game lol.

How the marketing focus is important too.

And we all know that the camera will not eat Urien out when he does his stuff like it eats laura or mika

You aren't wrong on the point that this game is drooling all over the women more than the men, even though Hot Ryu was a great first step, but you are drawing empty correlations. Hiding a secret costume akin to a previous intro pose that's existed for years has no bearing on the female side of things.

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

Pretty much confirmed as an alternate intro at this point
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_GFU_hnLXw

 

[MegaPanda]

Would be godlike if the intro triggered at the start of the final round (3 or 5)
