It's Friday June 14th, the 71st week of SFV AE and this week’s missions went live at 12AM last night! This week’s missions are:
1. Use a V-Skill 10X for 50FM
2. Play a Casual Match for 500FM
3. Play Training Mode! for 250FM
4. Get a KO with a EX move 10X for 250FM
5. An Arcade score of 100,000 or more will be recorded in the rankings for the title “Mayor”.
This week’s missions can net you a measly 1050FM. Subtract the cost of the second Shade Crossover costume and the Crossover BGM if you haven't gotten it yet and the Fortune Tix fight and you'll end up with -2700FM
After completing the weekly missions, head over to the eXtra Battle Mode, this week we have:
1. Get your hands on Fortune Tix against Sagat #3 for 250FM participation fee
2. [Quick and Immovable] Get the Crossover Costume #2 for Sagat (Shade from Cyberbots: Fullmetal Madness) for 2500FM participation fee.
3. Get the Crossover BGM! Helion Theme from Cyberbots: Fullmetal Madness for 1000FM
I've pretty much given up on Fighting Chance and the stupid Fortune tix thing, it's a FM sink in a FM recession! Oh and coming June 25th we're getting a "new" stage! The SF II CE Ryu Stage, Suzaku Castle at Night....
Soooo I have some questions (the same ones as everyone else)
1. Why?
2. If I bought the Suzaku Castle stage do you expect me to drop either 2 bucks or 40K FM for a reskinned stage?
3. What FM do you think we have? I've been a miser with my FM so I could afford it via FM but again, why should I have to pay for a reskinned Stage?
As always, keep fighting the good fight till the end. Be smart with your FM and don’t complain about the XBM golden soldiers and "Shin" versions of characters because the alternative is Capcom charging REAL MONEY for all DLC characters.
Hey, pssst you wanna know about SFV S4 DLC??? Here's the info you're craving!
Do you remember the Red Bull DLC? What'd they call it....Shoryuken in a can....
Well Capcom has partnered with Onitsuka Tiger for some sweet kicks inspired by the First Lady of Fighting Games, Chun Li!
A limited amount of these sneakers are being produced and if you're able to grab a pair you'll receive a download code to receive the Onitsuke Tiger DLC costume! The sneakers MSRP is $180 USD / 18,000 ¥.
So Capcom just announced the 2019 CPT bundle, I'm not gonna go through all the stuff in the announcement, I'm just gonna talk briefly about Sagat's CPT DLC costume. It caught my eye immediately, I like the outfit but not for Sagat. I’m sorry but between the dew rag and the facial hair he looks more like Shaft than Sagat! About an hour later it dawned on me, that Sagat’s CPT 2019 costume isn’t new at all! It’s about 11 years old, it’s a revised iteration of a SFIV concept character; King Cobra by Daigo Ikeno.
Now compare the above concept artwork to Sagat’s CPT 2019 DLC costume!
Now the new CPT stage the Ring of Justice looks good but again I feel it’s just a revised version of SFIV’s Skyscaper Under Construction stage, see for yourself.
SSFIV
SFV: AE
I’m not complaining, hell it’s kinda cool if it is the same stage just from a different perspective.
I've seen many people complaining about the cost of the DLC and I don't think many realize it's the exact same price points as last year! We're actually getting 5,000 more FM. The only thing that isn't mentioned is the "Access to Exclusive Special Targets".

Who's got that holiday spirit? Blanka does! Cody , Sakura and Falke also!
So if I were only gonna get one of these (and I am only getting one) it will be Falke's!
I like Cody's, Sakura's looks like jail bait and WTF is Blanka wearing!?
Falke's wardrobe is certainly growing, considering she is the second to last used character in the entire roster. (I'm one of the 10 people who use her)
It's Friday September 21st, the 33rd week of SFV AE and this weeks missions went live at 12AM last night! This weeks missions are:
1. Perform a combo 10X for 50FM
2. Play a Trial! for 250FM
3. Use Fight Request to play a Ranked Match for 500FM
4. A Short Tailed Bat Colony for 2,500FM
5. An Arcade score of 100,000 or more will be recorded in the rankings for the title "Hero of the Waters"
6. [CPT 2018] Win 20 Ranked Matches for 10,000FM
I'll post a video below to show how to complete the requirements for "A Short Tailed Bat Colony"
Go to Versus Mode, Choose Versus CPU, choose Forgotten Waterfall, choose an opponent, and hit your opponent on the right side of the stage until a flock of bats fly out of the cave.
After completing the weekly missions, head over to the eXtra Battle Mode, this week we have:
1. Ultra Heavyweight Champion for the title of Ultra Heavyweight Champ 1000 for 1000 FM participation fee per try
2. Get your hands on Fortune Tix against Balrog (SF1 Mike) for 250 FM participation fee
3. [Q&I] Get the Cammy/ Fiona Crossover Costume #4 for 2500 FM participation fee
This weeks missions can net you 3,300FM
Subtract 1000FM per attempt to beat Shin Geif.
Subtract 2500FM for Cammy's fourth [Q&I] Fiona Crossover Costume
Subtract 250FM for fighting Balrog / Mike for some Fortune Tix
This week I ended up with 3,050, FM because I opted out of the Fiona Crossover Costume....I don't play Cammy enough to justify the 10k FM, and I also didn't bother fighting Shin Geif for a title. I did fight Balrog for the 4th time for Fortune Tix, so I only spent 250FM this week on XBM.
We got some cool news this week regarding the upcoming Dojo's coming Sept 25th! I've sync'd my CFN account with the Shadaloo Combat Research Institute (S.C.R.I.) for awhile and find it a useful tool that for the life of me can't understand why it's not incorporated into the game! So when you join Shadaloo you'll recieve the dojo stage for free and then you can name your dojo and begin to personalize it with trophies, vehicles, musical intruments, sports perephenelia and a variety of decorative ornaments. There are different methods to attain dojo items via Dojo Fighting Chance. And there's also Dojo Rankings! In the main dojo menu, you can visit “Member Ranking” to see how all members stand in the dojo. Every member will automatically have points applied to them upon playing Arcade, Survival, Extra Battle, Ranked Match, Casual Match, and Battle Lounge – the more you play, the more points you’ll get. Although you will be able to see which member contributes the most, in the end, every point obtained will factor into the larger dojo rankings where all dojos are displayed on a leaderboard. If your dojo ends each month as one of the top ranks, everyone in that dojo will receive a special decorative object to show off, so work together because every point counts! Dojo rankings can be viewed at any time and go as far as the 10,000th dojo and will begin in October 2018. I will be actively recruiting all my CFN friends to my Dojo! I think this is a fantastic way to build communities within the SF FGC!
And we're also getiing some new Halloween Costumes this year for Falke, Abigail, Guile, and Kolin Sept 25th!
And the Darkstalkers costume pack comes out on the 25th also, there are 3 new costumes added to this pack Morrigan for Chun (duh), Felicia for Menat and Demetri for Ed.
As always keep fighting the good fight. Be smart with your FM don't complain about the XBM golden soldiers and "Shin" versions of characters because the alternative is Capcom charging RM for all DLC characters.
The Falke trailer just dropped and I'm happy with her gameplay from the trailer! I hope her move inputs are not like Ed's. I suspect the move list will be added to the Shadaloo Combat Research Institute shortly if it's not already there.
Falke will be available April 24th!
Her Story and Battle Costume's look great, I wish her English voice actress had a germanic accent! She's too soft spoken IMO.
Season 2 of SFV has certainly been a bit divisive for the FGC, so last week the 4th DLC character was revealed at EVO and as previously leaked it was Abigail from Final Fight. The previous DLC character was Ed the little boy Balrog grabbed as the S.I.N facility was crumbling down in SFIV. We got a free beta where we could try him out....I did and between his unorthodox move set, his theme and overall character design I passed.
I did however get Abigail, and IDGAF what anyone says yeah his head is small and he's wearing tires as fashion accessories but you know what? Beating Ed with Abigail is extremely satisfying and unlike my main character IDGAF if I lose with him......HE'S FUN TO PLAY WITH!!
So if you only had FM to get one of these two which would you choose?
Capcom just released the Season 2 Second DLC Character Reveal Trailer for.....Kolin.
I like the Lupe Fiasco song they have with the trailer, someone needs to remix Kolin's trailer with Vanilla Ice's song....yeah he only had one.
Anyway it seems as if Kolin has lost her baby face from the season 1 cinematic story, but thankfully they didn't ruin her face, in fact the more mature face is more suited for her.
So Kolin's martial arts style is systema with the element of ice. I hope Kolin get her own stage like what her trailer opens with.I'm not sure if this is a case of good video editing or not but at mark 1:03 it looks like Kolin might have a variant of Cammy's Ultra II CQC from Street Fighter IV.
Kolin V trigger, "Diamond Dust" is intriguing in that it also freezes the stun gauge and if you do stun the character with it the opponent get frozen in place on the ground!
Kolin will be available February 28th along with her Story/Battle/ Nostalgia costumes.
I guess the Underground Arena will be Kolin's official Stage so does that male Ring of Destiny Geif and Mika's stage?
So after completing Okami HD I finally decided to return to the West.....the wild west that is. RDR Undead Nightmare had been sitting on my XMB for so long due to a tremendous back log of games to play. I really loved RDR so I was glad to return....Feel free to read my RDR review , to see why I say Red Dead Redemption is one of the best games from this generation.
So I strapped on my gun holster and fired up RDR:UDN. Being that I haven't played RDR for a long time I was a bit rusty with the controls but it only took a few minutes to re familiarize myself and I was off killing the undead in Blackwater!
This was a perfect time to play this DLC as I'm getting serious Walking Dead withdrawal!
Undead Nightmare is an alternative story line to the events of RDR after John Marston and his family are reunited and are back at the ranch.
The zombie apocalypse has engulfed the land and John must find a way to end it or die trying. Through your travels John will revisit many of his past stomping grounds to battle against hordes of the undead to help the survivors, along the way John also helps find missing souls and brings them back to their friends or family....this is a spin on the battles against gangs and bounty's. You'll also bump into some old friends like Bonnie MacFarlane, Seth, Marshal Johnson, Nigel West Dickens, Landon Ricketts, and Abraham Reyes.
Similar to the main game, Undead Nightmare has horses that can be broken and then you can ride them, the cool thing with Undead Nightmare is the four horses of the apocalypse are out there waiting to be found and broken! And each has a special attribute....Death is pretty bad ass, Pestilence is useful when doing the ambient challenges...
As cool as the four horses of the apocalypse are they pale in comparison to the pure fabulousness that is THE UNICORN! Nothing screams The Good The Bad and the Fabulous more than Zombie Marston riding across the land on a Unicorn with butterfly's fluttering around and a rainbow wake trailing behind you!
This was an enjoyable addition to the main game and with Undead Nightmare you can also access the Red Dead Redemption multiplayer. I just wished I could use my fabulous Unicorn in multiplayer!
The next Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer DLC has arrived!
Cerberus lashes FTW!
New Characters
- Vorcha

New Maps

Surrounded by huge waterfalls, Firebase Jade overlooks an ancient reservoir built by the salarians centuries ago. Set up strategic chokepoints inside the base’s main buildings to get the jump on your enemy, and work with your team to meticulously clear each room to achieve victory.
- Firebase Goddess
Firebase Goddess, nestled in the epicenter of a Thessian metropolis, is one of the last strongholds of asari resistance against the Reapers. With its circular layout, Firebase Goddess is a tough location to control. This arena combines heavy cover and elevated firing positions, so stay light on your feet.
New Weapons

- Krysae Sniper Rifle
New Map Objective - Retrieval
Retrieve is a new objective added to Multiplayer through the Rebellion DLC. Valuable supplies are in the field and Operatives need to secure and bring the supplies to key locations on the map. Teamwork is very important in this objective because the supply carrier will be slowed down and unable to evade, covering the supply carrier and working as a team will ensure your success in this new objective type.
1. Get your hands on Fortune Tix against Sagat #3 for 250FM participation fee
