SFV AE Weekly Missions and Extra Battle Mode for 6/7/18 - 6/14/18

It's Friday June 7th, the 19th week of AE and this weeks missions went live at 12AM last night! This weeks missions are:

1. Perform a counter 10X for 150 FM
2. View a Demonstration for 250 FM
3. Get a KO with an EX move 10X for 250 FM
4. Sleeping Dog for 2500 FM
5. An arcade score of 100,000 or more will be recorded in the rankings for "The Pharaoh Reborn" title

I'll post a video below to show how to complete the requirements for Sleeping Dog.

Go to Versus Mode, Choose Versus CPU, set the difficulty, choose Apprentice Alley Stage, choose your opponent, be sure to land some combo's on the left center side of the stage to wake the dog up that's sleeping on the ground!


After finishing the missions go tackle this weeks eXtra Battle Mode fights, this week there’s three;

1. Ryu's 1st [Q&I] Crossover costume challenge for 2,500 FM participation fee

2. Cross over BGM "Level 1" from Super Ghouls' n Ghosts for 1000 FM participation fee

3.Triggered Necalli "Prophecy of the End" title reward for 1000 FM participation fee

This weeks missions can net you 3,150 FM. Subtract 1000FM for the Cross Over BGM, subtract 2,500 FM for Ryu's [Q&I] and subtract 1000FM per attempt at Triggered Necalli. I've tried to beat "Shin" Necalli 4X so that's 4K down the drain. I suck at these "Shin" versions of characters! So this week I'm -4,350FM! 

And I finally found my free copy of USFIV that I got when I pre-ordered Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection! So I played a few matches in Endless with a friend. 

Now I stopped Playing IV right before Ultra released because my PS3 YLOD'd on me so I haven't played IV in years! Check out what about 4 years of rust looks like lol!

I look forward to sharing some matches from the 30th Anniversary collection as soon as they patch the lobby system!

Next Week we'll be fighting High Roller Shadaloo Elite for 7,500 FM X3 for a 1500 FM entry fee. And the following week Cody will be available Tuesday the 26th.
 I wonder when the CPT Ring of Power Stage is gonna be available? I noticed it's based on some SFII concept artwork I spotted in the 30th anniversary museum.

As always keep fighting the good fight....stop lag switching and avoid sodium overdose. Be smart with your FM don't complain about the XBM golden soldiers because the alternative is Capcom charging RM for all DLC characters.

EVO 2014

This years EVO is less than a month away! July 11-13 at the Las Vegas Hilton.
This years game line up includes:
Ultra Street Fighter IV
Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3
Killer Instinct
Injustice: Gods Among Us
King of the Fighters XIII
Super Smash Bros: Mele
Tekken Tag Tournament 2
BlazBlue: ChronoPhantasma
This year the company's are throwing their support behind their games with some extra dead presidents, Capcom (now up for hostile takeover) has provided $10k bonus to the USFIV prize pool, Bandai Namco has added $5k to the TTT2 prize pool and Arc System Works / Aksys Games has provided a combined total of $30k to the BB:C prize pool!



Here are some of the highlights from last years EVO tournament...

USFIV version select trailer

So the latest update to Ultra has given players the option to choose what version of a character they want to play with....
I'm not to keen on this idea as that essentially quadruples the match up's players need to know! Obviously we're gonna see a resurgence of Vanilla Sagat and AE Yun, and the freakin trailer even kinda acknowledges this!
Personally I've played every version of SFIV and through it all stuck with my main but this feels like they're appeasing all the gamers that bitched and moaned for buffs and nerfs since 2008! This is gonna be a mess in my opinion.
Now not only can people counter pick characters they can counter pick versions...

Ultra Street Fighter IV New Stages

I watched a video from JAEPO on youtube today and got my first glimpse at one of the new stages for USFIV...

Really??????UGHH
Not good I've had to use this gif twice in a weeks time!
Capcom, I lurves ya but this is......well....the gif says it all. This stage DOES NOT WORK IN STREET FIGHTER!

EDIT: Here are all the new stages being cut and paste from SFXT

I like the Mad Gear Hideout, Blast Furnace, Half Pipe and Pitstop 109 stages! 

Mad Gear Hideout obviously will be for Cody, Guy, Rolento, Hugo and Poison

Blast Furnace works perfectly for Zangief 

Half Pipe is great for Yun and Yang

Pitstop 109 would be ideal for Sodom....but alas he's not in USFIV. Maybe Capcom can add him in the background!

As far as Jurassic Era Research Facility and Cosmic Elevator...as I stated above THEY DON'T WORK WITHIN the Street Fighter (proper) universe at all.

If we're gonna be stuck with dinosaurs they should throw Regina in the stage

And Comic Elevator......last I checked the game is called Street Fighter, martial artist's travel all over the world to test their fighting skills against other fighters....Why are we in SPACE!!!!?????

  

USFIV + YouTube

 Finally! With every iteration of Street Fighter IV we've gotten closer to this and finally I will now be able to upload my replays directly to my YouTube channel!

USFIV second trailer thoughts and feelings

So Yoshinori Ono revealed the second trailer for USFIV during the Capcom Cup last week and put the kabash on some of the rumors revolving around the mystery 5th character.
Since this charade began I initially thought it was Asura, after that was disconfirmed, I dug deep based on the clues Ono dropped after that and guessed Kevin (Ken) Straker from Street Fighter 2010. Recently many people (on Capcom Unity) were saying Retsu, even I began to think he had a chance based on the fact they're porting over a few of the SFXT stages and the Mishima estate stage looks ALOT like Retsu's SF1 stage!

But alas Ono has disconfirmed Retsu....so back into the mists of obscurity for you my friend, And in fact all male characters can sit down...Ono's latest hint is the character is female and now the most popular opinion is the 5th character is a Shadaloo doll,

either Jianyu (Yanyu)

Or Decapre































Taking into consideration the limited budget this title upgrade has, this makes the most sense to me, use Cammy's character model. Personally I prefer Jianyu over Decapre but Decapre would be easier to build just add Vega's claw and a mask......



Now onto the trailer....Red Focus costs a full meter! 4 EX moves or 1 Super....pretty steep price to absorb a bunch of hits....basically only use red focus against ultras /supers and counter with your Ultra....but watch out for the Double Ultra counter to your Red Focus/Ultra counter!
Elimination/ Team Battle: I think this is just an upgrade from what we already have, the new aspect is 1V1 with 3 characters each or 3v3 with 1 character each.
Online Training Mode: Meh I call that endless 1v1 private room...
Basically the trailer left me very underwhelmed..hype level low.

USFIV Supers & Ultra's revealed

Here's the video's of the Super's and Ultra's for Ultra Street Fighter IV. I'm not feeling the red focus and the Double Ultra's that were previously revealed by combofiend but what ever. I actually started playing AE again a week or two ago...amazing how fast you loose your mojo in this game! I've also been playing a little 3rd Strike with some guys from Unity. Next week we may get some HDR matches in also!


Hugo



Poison

New USFIV trailer from CJ

New USFIV trailer from Capcom Japan!
So the mystery 5th character....who is it.
At first I thought it was gonna be Asura, Ono confirmed it wasn't Asura.
The info that we know is:

• It will be a character from the SF universe or at least fit into the SF universe
• It is a character that isn't on anyone's radar
•  It's an existing Capcom Character
• It hasn't been "playable" in a Street Fighter or any other fighting game before
• It's Not Haggar from FF confirmed by Ono

So based on that
Here's my 3 guesses on who the mystery character is!

1. Kevin Straker (Ken)  from Street Fighter 2010
2. Guile's Daughter
3. Goutetsu

Ultra Street Fighter IV

So it wasn't Super Street Fighter IV AE ver 2013/2014, it wasn't Hyper Street Fighter IV, it was much more obvious than that!
For those who are slightly disapointed with the Ctrl C, ctrl V job...lets remember SFIV came out in 2009! There is no other game this generation that has had the longevity and support tat this game has! Obviously they didn't have to make USFIV, but I appreciate the fact that they did...I'm fairly certain most SFIV resources have been reallocated to next gen projects, so thank you Capcom.
As a fan of the franchise since the original SF I'm looking forward to Ultra Street Fighter IV and eventually SF V!
The one thing I was hoping along with the USFIV announcement was some news on the Street Fighter Assasins Fist project...alas nothing.

Also maybe it was just me but the stream died on my phone last night during the UMVC3 grand finals between Justin Wong and EMP Flocker during the second set when it was 2-1 Flocker! I lost it and ran to the computer that the wife was on and jumped onto the stream only to see Alex Vaille getting a commemorative trophy FFFFFFFFFUUUUU!!!!!!
Can someone tell me what happened?
I stayed up to watch the trailer for USFIV then passed out....getting up for work at 4:45 am SUCKS!
Kinda pissed I didn't get to watch any of the SSFIV finals!
Updates on that would also be much appreciated!....Mike I'm looking at you ;)
So you got Sonia to watch EVO!? Very cool!
D was like your all NERDS!
Can't wait till EVO gets televised on ESPN or some shit one day!
C'mon they have poker tourney and billiards! ESports is coming folks! Mark my words.
