i say give it an awesome title. Wired Warrior is a good one. This game is a huge deal and is going to have thousands of pages of discussion for maybe the next 7? years of its life. Lets start it off with a bang.

It'll be around 1pm when stores get their shipments most likely

Mom and Pop stores always break street dates because it is the only way they can compete with chain stores that have exclusive preorder DLC, point systems, tons of locations, etc. etc.

Street Fighter V |OT| Dpad shaming, Latency blaming & Capcom flaming.
That's understandable, but it's still not fair really. Oh well, game comes out Tuesday anyway.
THE STAGE OF BATTLE IS SETH

From what I understand story fight money gets wiped anyway.
Does it? Shit, kinda glad I don't have it yet then

Sure that's what some have said here.
Wiped as in "you need to do it again" or as in "lost forever" ? :/

Is there a place where all the spoiler pics can be found? I'm curious to see the new character designs.

Somebody in this thread posted they got a patch and it cleared it, went back into story and was getting no fight money from there. I'd search here but on mobile

thats it? No hot Ken? I thought everyone had a few costumes. Ryu had 3 so far.

I don't recall it being a patch but server issues.
Everyone but the 4 characters with preorder costumes only has 1 costume besides default.
Marvel
could never
Ah yes!

there's currently two alternates for each character. Story mode costumes which have all been revealed and then premium costumes. The four preorder costumes (ryu, chun li, cammy bison) are premium costumes. Everyone else will likely have one of those as well, Ken included, they just haven't been revealed yet.
Ken can never be hot in this engine
I think you earn them in survival mode, and he was just playing vs mode.

Can anyone confirm about the FM/points resetting, where did that info come from?
Might be getting the game later and don't want to waste my time in story mode if the FM i earn will be wiped.

I think he said he played the highest difficulty for survival and didn't get anything.

Did they give Sakura long hair at least? :|

Yep. 48 hours before release.
Ok, managed to fire up the game.
Two big negative things to mention right off the bat, for me at least:
- The only intro movie you seem to get is a very short and quite compressed version of that cool CGI trailer we saw some days ago where most characters battle each other, so not that full version and not the alternative version with the licensed song. This short movie only plays the first time you boot up the game it seems, the second time the game immediately seems to go to the main menu (where it stays, so no "attract mode" of any kind either). If that trailer movie really ends up not being in the game at all, to a single-player focused fan like me who sometimes enjoys putting the game on in the background this sucks!
- There seems to be no way to have the CPU battle itself, a first since all other SF games that I can remember have this, even SFxT. Normally this would be under Versus, but in V, that mode is only meant for local multiplayer. I've also not found the option to set player 1 to CPU under Training or anywhere else. Such a weird omission that only came to be because of how they seem to have structured the whole menu around CFN and online competition. I had feared this might happen but still. Sigh...(Yes, this really makes the game less enjoyable for me as someone who enjoys watching as much as playing, so weird or not, I'm not being sarcastic.)
With CPU vs CPU being out, I guess I can't really do much with the game right now except train, unless I wish to re-do story modes later or something.

Sakura deserves a time skip design but it just won't happen... It's really sad.

The replay search feature is much better in this game. I'd really try that. You'll get much more value and entertainment out of watching replays of real matches. You can even follow the highest level players.
Whoa, what? The PC version was available for pre-load yesterday. Does Sony just have it like that for all PS4 pre-loads?
lucebuce12

Yep. Pretty much the case for all preloads on PS4. Even the first party games.
That would be a great feature. Worth suggesting over on Capcom's forums.
She has exactly the same design, "gi" and all.
They wrote her continuing to wear the uniform into the story so I don't expect her to ever ditch it, even with Karin getting redesigned.
I might try this, but it can never fully replace watching CPU matches to me as this has been a tradition I've enjoyed for years. Sometimes it's just fun to make up stories about CPU fighters and fake tournaments this way, but maybe I'm just weird.
What frustrates me the most is that everything is already in the game for this to be possible except them putting in a menu option to set both players to CPU.
Edit: I also already severely miss having an arcade mode instead of just character stories. Why does Capcom seem to insist on everyone either wanting to do something "story heavy" or with other people (online)? Sometimes a guy just wants to battle the CPU for a few rounds and finish with a boss. Throw us single player people a bone here!
