You are correct. It has nothing to do with handouts but keeping your playerbase happy.
Fighting games are all buy buy buy, you never unlock anything anymore.
I remember fighting games when they were fun, you were able to unlock things, and it wasnt just only about online play.
Not even being able to try a new DLC fighter because you don't have any rental tickets, with zero options to earn or unlock a rental ticket.
That's the kind of trash I'm talking about.
The stages are also BUY BUY BUY
Is this your first street fighter game?
I skipped 5. 4 was my last one, and that was great. A costume pack only cost you a few bucks, for a shitload of costumes.
But Capcom got greedier and greedier, and people like you (I assume) just kept rewarding them
But yes fighting games going full greed/season pass+MTX bullshit is the worst thing to happen to the genre
I like her personalitittys.
Base SF4?
Im gonna guess you mean Super, Arcade or Ultra.
Cuz Base SF4 was dryer than Base SF6.
As I said maybe you should wait for Super, Arcade or Ultra Street Fighter 6.
Cuz the base games arent for you.
P.S The costume packs only featured 4 character costumes each.

Everything is more expensive now. Including game development.
This is the Resetera version of the character: Mai (they / them)Too bad western developers didn't design her. Could have been so much better.
It isn't dying at all. It's the most popular fighting game in Steam history and outside the launch and chracter releases peaks its Steam CCU remained steady and even slightly grow over time.Pretty cool but she's no Kimberly, also isnt this game basically dying?
I suggest you to play the game, they added a ton of stuff for free other than the characters every four months.Yeah but Capcom is doing nothing except releasing a character every four months, wow so much effort from them
Like what?I suggest you to play the game, they added a ton of stuff for free other than the characters every four months.
Yeah its pretty bad, all they care sbout is avatar whale money. 2 Guest characters with such a low roster and slow release schedule is also a red flag. If I didnt have JP it would be depressing.Yeah but Capcom is doing nothing except releasing a character every four months, wow so much effort from them
Nah, thats bullshit. The games are selling more than ever, and Capcom is making bank more than ever.
This is a fairytale people like Harada tell you, while recycling old DLC for a quarter, and then charging 10€ for it.
Fuck all these greedy companies. The only way we are going back is if people stop buying all this trash for these high prices.
How do I not have rental tickets? Because I play VS a bunch against my friends, and they run out fast, and there is NO way to earn them ingame.
The "everything is more expensive now" is a total bullshit argument.
I also felt nothing but for a different reason. I have EDI felt nothing from this. Don't plan to reinstall the game after watching that trailer. Last thing the game needs is another character with a good fireball to drive rush behind. Not to mention her insane corner carry on what looks like her super 2.
I wait for Elena I guess
Yes and game profits have gone WAYYYY up.Things are literally, across the board more, expensive. Have you noticed how everything costs more? Food is more expensive. Rent is more expensive. The general cost of living continues to rise.
CAPCOM PROFITS SEVEN YEARS IN A ROW RECORD PROFITSAs of March 31, 2024, net sales hit ¥152.410 million (or $977M), up 21 percent from 2022-2023, and a new record high. It also marks the seventh year in a row of record-high profit and 11th year of operating income growth (¥57.08 million).
Not true, all the classic costumes are unlockable, they also give away a ton of drive tickets which you can use to unlock colours, music packs, gear for your avatar and even stages.Fighting games are all buy buy buy, you never unlock anything anymore.
Also not true, the rental tickets used to be in the free battle pass track, now they just give them away in the news updatesNot even being able to try a new DLC fighter because you don't have any rental tickets, with zero options to earn or unlock a rental ticket.
He literally just asked which version of SF4 though, in order to even get ssf4 so you could also eventually buy that costume pack (it did not exist at launch lol) , would've required spending 40 for ssf4, on top of the 60 already spent for sf4 first and then the price of the costume packs, which as mentioned, obviously didn't release all at once in one big pack, but in smaller packs of 4 costumes at a time; then there was the upgrades to ae and ultra and all the separate dlc that came with them.Wrong.
The full Super Street Fighter 4 costume pack,
Yes and game profits have gone WAYYYY up.

But I'm happy you believe all that bullshit that game publishers have tried selling you, while sitting on mountains of money.
This is the same bullshit I saw when Tekken launched their COIN bullshit shop. People actually defending this trash, stating "oh if they don't do this, we won't get a Tekken 9".
LIKE WHAT Are you fucking kidding me you are actually that stupid that you believe that??? Not directed towards you but people I saw on Twitter defending the Tekken bullshit shop.
SEVEN YEARS IN A ROW RECORD PROFITS
Nahh gaming devs are eating water and bread man they need to sell these things otherwise they arent making a profit!?!?!?!
And yes gamers are sheep. The masses are sheep. They see, they buy. They have all become paypigs.
Its why if I could I would get the masses "OUT" of gaming because they are too stupid and weak. This is the artistic cycle of destruction.Yes and game profits have gone WAYYYY up.

The future of being able to unlock cool shit in a fighting game!This is a disingenuous argument. Capcom is not making these profits from sf6 dlc, they have consistently released great games for many years, so of course they will see success. But them being successful doesn’t mean that the costs of creating and releasing games (and everything in general) isn’t expensive, or a huge risk.
What future are you arguing for? For Capcom to not be making a profit and be teetering on the cusp of bankruptcy? That’s not sustainable. I am happy to see them doing well.
That said, I generally don’t buy season passes, I didn’t get any of them for SF6, but I bought M. Bison and plan to get Mai. I guess it’s fine if you don’t regularly play the game, but I also like to support devs I like. If you want to live off rental tickets that’s your problem lmfao.
Same in Guilty Gear, didn’t get season passes because I’m not interested in everyone, but made sure to pick up Elphelt , and will definitely be getting Lucy when she drops.
I get your gung-ho anti capitalist stance, I said many of the same things when I was younger, but the reality is more complicated then “dlc bad gross don’t buy”
If you just wanna fight you don't have to engage with the fighter pass or most MTX's anyway, its all for shitty lobby avatar crap.This looks really awesome but as someone who never plays fighting games and is instantly put off by "fighter passes" and micro transactions, SF6 doesn't seem to be for me.
New Year, same bunch of Resetards!Some people at resetera are upset at Capcom
that can't be true because SF6 is nearly 2 years old now and everyone jiggles like crazy.i'm kind of rolling my eyes at Capcom right now. They've been super politically correct and lame for the past 4 years and are only switching gears now because they see games like Stellar Blade, Marvel Rivals, Zenless Zone Zero getting praised for fan service.
SF6 is way toned down from SFV fan service wise and has much tamer costumes. Mai is like the first actual hot SF6 character.that can't be true because SF6 is nearly 2 years old now and everyone jiggles like crazy.
Not even close, SF5 doesn't even have jiggle physics, SF6 cammy's entire body is jiggling in your face with every move she makes, even the males like gief jiggle their muscles as much as possible; equal opportunity fan service yet it somehow toned down? Get out of here bruv.SF6 is way toned down from SFV fan service wise and has much tamer costumes. Mai is like the first actual hot SF6 character.
SFV characters like Chun literally have larger breasts in SFV that jiggle more than they do in SF6.Not even close, SF5 doesn't even have jiggle physics, SF6 cammy's entire body is jiggling in your face with every move she makes, even the males like gief jiggle their muscles as much as possible; equal opportunity fan service yet it somehow toned down?

SFV characters like Chun literally have larger breasts in SFV that jiggle more than they do in SF6.
Take chun-li into training mode and throw a couple fwd medium punches or inch her forward on screen and you'll see a ton of jiggle lol. You just aren't familiar with the game.
SF5 had jiggle breast physics at launch/beta, then there was a bug that made P2 jiggle physics go crazy, not just breasts, everything even necalli's hair, then capcom removed it; SF5 does not have breast jiggle physics.
She had actual breast physics right at launch and during the beta, they removed that because of the P2 glitch, her chest in her default costume barely moves, and are pretty much glued stiff in other costumes, likewise mika's giant tits don't move an inch, which makes it clear whatever jiggle physics they had implemented was completely removed after launch; whatever movement is left is just animation bones interacting with the breast bones, not physics, and certainly no where is "a ton" observed, unlike SF6, where it's actually everywhere.Take chun-li into training mode and throw a couple fwd medium punches or inch her forward on screen and you'll see a ton of jiggle lol.

So you are telling me I can enjoy a great amount of singleplayer content casually at my own pace, ignore the online portion of the game, and have all the characters and content for about 60-80 euros depending on a sale?If you just wanna fight you don't have to engage with the fighter pass or most MTX's anyway, its all for shitty lobby avatar crap.
