TGS 2019 Capcom's commitment to E-Sports Presentation

No new info regarding SFV but the President reiterates their commitment to e-sports and SFV to be involved in the Intel World Open .
I'm curious how this "commitment" will affect the Street Fighter Franchise as SFV's life span is nearing the end of it's plan. Season 4 will be concluding December 15th at Capcom cup and 2020 will, what many believe be SFV's final season. So should we expect Capcom to reveal SFVI at the conclusion of the Intel World Tour July 24th 2020? It seems like a no brainer to me, everyone will be tuning in for the opening ceremony of the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.....talk about fantastic exposure!

Hype Train derailed days before departure!

8 months we've been waiting and today Steam leaked the trailer for the first 3 characters, are you serious?! This is ridiculous, Kage was leaked hours prior @ Capcom Cup and now the next 3 characters leaked  DAYS before EVO. These 3 characters are MONTHS late and for those of us who have been holding out hope that there was something coming this great news but there's something in my mind saying "that's it?". There has to be something else that caused Capcom to fall into radio silence for 8 months! If this was an executive decision to delay these characters and not keep open lines of communication someone needs to be fired.
I guess we'll find out Sunday night if there's "Much More" for us.
Now as far as the 3 characters are concerned
Honda: Meh some people will be glad he finally made it, others will be like why the F did you fuck up Vega and Birdie and leave Honda unchanged!
Lucia: Well X-Kira was absolutely right, NO ONE would've guessed this character from Final Fight 3 was coming!
Poison: Shoulda just made it Roxy, but regardless he's back. I like the whip swing, the Belmonts are impressed!
I have to admit if that's all we're getting regarding season 4 I'm not feeling any excitement at all!
So these 3 will be available on the 4th for $5.99 or 100k FM each or you can get em all on the 5th for $14.99 and save $2.98 that you can put towards Honda's Stage which costs $3.99 or 70k FM.

EVO 2019 and the fate of SFV

Another year another EVO approaches in 6 days, and what many in the FGC are wondering what does Capcom have in store for Street Fighter V? I've been playing SFV since launch and I have to admit, for the last month I really haven't felt much of an urge to play. Herein lies the problem with games as a service plan! When the players get accustomed to scheduled updates with new content and then the updates just go on hiatus the player base losses interest regardless if the game is solid and has plenty of content. Since it's launch there was a plan for updates and new content which was relatively reliable....until season 3 concluded

Dec 16th 2018 with Capcom Cup. It's now almost August 2019, 8 months later and we've got 1 new DLC character a shotoclone-clone, Kage. And a some random DLC like Field of Fate,  Ring of Justice, Suzaku Castle @ night (should be free if you bought the Suzaku Stage @ day DLC!), Kage monocle costume, and Sagat dew rag costume which is included in the CPT 2019 bundle, and a couple crossover costumes like Katt for Falke, Shade for Sagat, Devilotte for Menat.

This time last year we had Sakura in Jan, Blanka in Feb, Falke in April, Cody in June! And Sagat AND G released August 18th!
So I understand why so many have said SFV is "dead", Capcom isn't doing themselves any favors by going radio silent these last 7 months.
The question in my mind is HOW?
HOW will Ono and the SFV dev team resuscitate SFV?
HOW many characters are we getting revealed Sunday August 4th?
HOW much new content will we be getting, HOW much will this cost?
HOW will players be able to purchase the new characters aside from real money since FM seems to be a dead form of E-currency?
With PS5 launching holiday 2020 HOW can Ono say he doesn't have any SFVI news for EVO 2019....

SFV AE Weekly Missions and Extra Battle Mode for 6/21/19 - 6/28/19

It's Friday June 21st, the 72nd week of SFV AE and this week’s missions went live at 12AM last night! This week’s missions are:

2.  Win 10 Battle Lounge matches for 500FM

4.  Perform an anti-air attack 10X for 50FM



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 1300FM. 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 #4 for 250FM participation fee









2. [Quick and Immovable] Get the Crossover Costume #4 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.
