SFV Weekly Missions and Extra Battle Mode for 3/29/18 - 4/5/18

It's Friday March 30th, the 10th week of AE and this weeks missions went live at 11PM! This weeks missions are:

1. Perform a normal throw 10 X for 50 FM
2. View Rankings on the CFN for 250FM
3. Play a Ranked Match for 500 FM
4. Come One, Come All for 2,500 FM

I'll post a video below to help show how to complete the requirements for the mission.



Go to Versus Mode, Choose Versus CPU, set the difficulty to 1 (for an easier life), choose Bustling Side Street Stage, choose an opponent, and beat your opponent on the left side of the stage, I'm not sure if it's required but try to knock your opponent thru the wall into the restaurant. And if you want to challenge yourself try to knock your opponent into the closet on the second round.

After completing the weekly missions, I headed over to the eXtra Battle Mode and this week we have :
Ken's 3rd [Q&I] Crossover Costume challenge for 2,500 FM,
Nash's 3rd [Q&I] Crossover Costume challenge for 2,500 FM,
R. Mika's 4th [Q&I] Crossover Costume challenge for 2,500 FM
(Proof of a Hero) against Ken in his Rathalos Crossover costume for 1000 FM.

Another week and no sign of Golden Shadaloo Soldiers....so no Xtra FM.

This weeks missions will net you 3,300 FM, and since I'm not doing Ken, Nash or Mika's [Q&I]'s I actually  made a FM profit!

In other SFV news we'll be getting 3 Darkstalkers Crossover costumes April 3rd.
They will NOT be avail via XBM like the ones we've been doing the past few weeks.
The 3 costumes  are for Menat, Juri and Urien and will only be avail for purchase on the PS store for $3.99 each

Street Fighter The World Warrior TV series lives

The World Warrior project seems to be"resurrected".... My friend Mike sent me a link to an article on deadline.com  that Joey Ansah's World Warrior project has been picked up by E1.
I loved Street Fighter Assassins Fist, but that GO90 series.....oh dear God that was, as Bison put's it....a worthless pile of excrement.
The only names dropped in the article so far were Joey Ansah, Jacqueline Quella and Mark Wooding all from Assassins Fist.
The story will focus on Ryu, Ken, Guile and Chun Li and how they're paths will converge with the World Warrior Tournament which is secretly funded by Shadaloo the Organization controlled by M. Bison. 
I do hope Christian Howard returns as Ken and Mike Moh as Ryu!

As far as casting for Chun Li I trust Joey will pick the best qualified Asian Actress!

And Scott Adkins as Guile

Avengers Infinity War Trailer #2

LMAO Disney moved Avengers Infinity War a week early to space it out with Solo!!!!
I got over hyped for Age of Ultron, No matter how hype this trailer is....and it is HYPE!!! I will endeavor to keep my expectations in check!
Steve MFing Rogers!!!! He moved Molnir.....he's gonna sacrafice himself to save the earth! That's my prediction!
Peter Quill stealing Tony Starks mojo, love it! Alien Voldamort hushing Dr Strange....that was odd.
Was that a flash back of young Gamora or was that the time stone??
Interesting how Loki is seen breifly from this trailer and we see Thanos crushing the Tesseract in his hand. Loki will you ever learn?!
I didn't see any sign of Captain Marvel, but something tells me she'll show up in the credits since her movie comes out between IW1 nd IW2.
I also didn't see Nebula bt I'm sure she will show up.
So who's not making it thru IW? My money's on Cap and Tony! Bucky Barnes will take the Captain America Identity and Shuri will don the Ironman armor.
As for Hawkeye....gone golfing? Again?

SFV Weekly Missions and Extra Battle Mode for 3/15/18 - 3/22/18

It's Thursday March 15th, the 8th week of AE and this weeks missions went live at 11PM!
This weeks missions are

1. Perform a Counter 10X for 150FM
2. Get a KO with a Critical Art 10X for 500 FM 
3. Use the Rival search feature on CFN for 250FM
4. The Rumored Four Kings Statue for 2,500FM

I'll post a video to help show how to complete the requirements for the mission.

Go to Story Mode, choose Character Story, choose F.A.N.G., choose the 2nd chapter, "defeat" Bison....viola!

After completing the weekly missions, I headed over to the eXtra Battle Mode and this week we have :
Ken's 1st [Q&I] Crossover Costume challenge for 2,500 FM,

Nash's 1st [Q&I] Crossover Costume challenge for 2,500 FM, 

R. Mika's 2nd [Q&I] Crossover Costume challenge for 2,500 FM
Ibuki's 3rd [Q&I] Crossover Costume challenge for 2,500FM, (I flubbed saving the recording...sorry)

Kens XBM fight "Proof of a Hero" for 1,000 FM if you haven't completed it yet.

This weeks missions will net you 3,400 FM, the XBM will cost you 7,500FM - 8,500FM if you do them all, I only did Ibuki's 3rd Q&I, I can't justify 10k on Ken's Rathalos Crossover Costume and 10K on Nash's Capt Commando Crossover Costume as I don't use those two enough. Keep in mind Falke might be releasing later this month and she'll cost us 100,000 FM so if you're on the 100k FM borderline you may need to do some soul searching whether you rather have all the Crossover costumes or a new character in 1 month or less.
Manage your FM wisely and don't give Capcom a reason to start offering FM in the shop for RM!

Remember ladies and gents manage your FM and don’t give Capcom a reason to start offering FM for REAL money!
Keep your fists up and never forget the joy of fighting!

Always in motion the future is....What's next for Dave Filoni after Star Wars Rebels?

I'm gonna put this out there, Dave Filoni and his team at LFL deserves to be writing the ST! (too late now).
My son and I watched the series finale last night and he was so excited and had so many questions!
I am a fan of Star Wars but I have to admit TFA and TLJ has shaken my faith in the franchise, but after last nights conclusion of Rebels I know the heart of Lucas's creation is in the capable hands of Filoni, Hidalgo and the LFL story group.
I will miss the crew of the Ghost and watching how the show masterfully segway'd  from the Clone Wars era to the time just prior to Rogue One. This is twice Filoni has introduced us to brand new characters that initially were not well received (Asohka and Ezra) but over the course of the series grew on us and clearly demonstrates Filoni is a master of character development....which I suspect stems from watching Super Dimensional Fortress Macross when he was younger.
Last night I finally saw Ezra Bridger as a strong, mature young adult Jedi. And when he left Sabine and his family it had the same bittersweet feel I got so many years ago when Hikaru Ichajo chose to leave Lynn Minmay and travel to the stars with Misa Hayase.
I can almost see a comparison between Kanan to Roy Folker, Ezra to Hikaru, Hera to Misa and Sabine to Minmay!
I've told so many friends of mine to watch this show but alas my words fell on deaf ears, my wife refused to watch it even though she watches the movies. I hope this show makes it's way to Netflix and Disney doesn't lock it in the vault til their streaming service goes live.
Unfortunately too many people prematurely judged the show at the beginning based on the art style and the fact it was on Disney XD.
Rebels had some amazing episodes, these my favorites!

1. S2 Ep 1/2 Seige of Lothol  
2. S2 Ep 25 Future of the Force
3. S2 Ep 33 Shroud of Darkness
4. S2 Ep 36/37 Twilight of the Apprentice
5. S2 Ep 38/39 Steps into Shadow
6. S3 Ep 52 Trails of the Dark Sabre
7. S3 Ep 54 Through Imperial Eyes
8. S3 Ep 57 Twin Suns
9. S4 Ep 69 Jedi Night
10. S4 Ep 71 Wolves and a door
11. S4 Ep 72 World Between Worlds
12. S4 Ep 73 A Fools Hope
13. S4 Ep 74/75 Family Reunion/ Farewell

So Sabine, and Ashoka are searching the unknown regions for Ezra after the Battle of Endor. 
And speaking of Endor, Rex is now officially the rebel on Endor that’s part of the team that destroys the shield generator...I’m cool with that.
Kanan and Hera have a son! Jacen Syndula! Force sensitive ???
Zen and Callus also live happily ever after.



 Sorry Master Yoda I am looking to the future, I am excited for the trailer for the next Star Wars animated series.
