      • Character Tutorials: 16 lessons covering each individual character.
    • Trials: Put your skills to the ultimate test with combo trials for all 16 characters, ranging from basic to pro combos.  Completing Trials will also earn you some extra Fight Money. 
  • Online Rematch Option
    • Salty from a close loss online? Want revenge?  Players can now play a 2/3 set in Ranked Match and Casual Matches, provided both players accept the rematch. 
  • Battle Lounge Improvements
    • Enjoy up to 8 person lobbies, complete with match spectating.
  • Bug fixes and gameplay balancing
    • Various game bugs have been fixed, along with minor gameplay balancing. For more details please see the previous post.

The second drop will take place on March 30 (WED) at 10AM PT and contains the following content:

  • Alex + related character story content
  • In-Game Shop
    • Fight Money Expenditure: Spend your hard earned Fight Money to purchase extra game content, such as DLC characters (100,000 FM each) and the Story Mode Costumes (40,000 FM each).

One feature that will not be making it into the March update will be the Zenny (real money) functionality of the in-game shop. We have taken a long hard look at this part of the store, and after much review, have decided it is not ready to launch just yet. As Zenny is purchased with real money, we wanted to be extra careful and make sure it’s fully tested and optimized before launching it. There is currently no ETA on the Zenny store and we will release it as soon as it’s ready.

 

We realize that this causes an inconvenience to fans who want to purchase the DLC characters, such as Alex, but do not have enough Fight Money or own the Season Pass.  To address this, we will be making Alex available for free as a trial period to all players, until the Zenny shop launches.  This also will apply to any future DLC character that releases prior to the Zenny shop launching. Once the Zenny shop launches, the free trial for any DLC characters that released prior to the Zenny shop opening will end, and players will need to either use Fight Money, Zenny, or the Season Pass to access those characters.

 

Any DLC character related content (such as costumes) that is purchased with Fight Money during the trial period will remain in your account once the trial period ends, but you’ll need to purchase Alex to use that content. The same goes for colors and character progress, etc. that are earned during the trial period; everything will be saved, you’ll just need to purchase the character to resume your progress once the trial period ends.

 

As a special bonus to our Season Pass users, they will be the only ones who will be able to access the premium costumes of the DLC characters until the Zenny shop launches, and they also get to keep character access once the free trial period ends. Additionally, we will be giving all Season Pass users a free, brand new stage in the near future!

 

Finally, as a way of saying thanks for everyone’s patience and understanding throughout the beta phases and game launch we will be making Ryu and Chun-Li’s story mode costumes available for free to all users on March 30 as well.  This is an 80,000 Fight Money value, almost the full value of a DLC character.  

 

Thank you for continuing to support Street Fighter V and we promise that the game will continue to improve from here on out. More new updates, fixes and support for other pressing issues like rage quitters are in the works and we hope to have more information to share soon.

Those tutorials would have been nice to have from the beginning, but at least they are there now. I feel those will be very helpful in understanding characters better than having to figure it all out by yourself.

Considering the trajectory and possible weight of all this, I'm starting to bet Crapcom being Crapcom will release a "complete functional game" edition later on.

 

Edit: I hope the trials will net you a lot more FM than other modes I've heard. At least it would make the grind less of a hassle for some.

Very excited for the patch! I wonder what stage season pass owners get and beeing able to purchase the specific pre order skins sounds great to me also :)
Nevertheless, I cant deny however that this is a pretty lazy performance by capcom, predictable, but still very lazy. Beeing not able to release Alex sooner due to the recently held tournament is understandable, but holding off the rest is just lazy.

This just means it's closer to Guile and I can play as a wall again.

 

Grimy "impenetrable fortress" Dawg. All of the hype is surrounding Alex but I'm more curious about the other characters we're gonna see.

 

Very excited, I'll probably be able to get the platinum with this upcoming patch. All the FM potential from Trials and Challenge! Looking forward to trying Alex too since I never played SF3 before.

 

How much are you at now? I don't expect the trials and challenges to offer THAT much...even doing Hell survival feels like you don't earn that much when the goal is 1,000,000.

The update is pretty big because they added more alternate costume that will be available at a late date.

"snip"

Rashid, R.mika, Cammy, and Laura = the best costumes

 

Nash, Zangief, and Chun-li = okay costumes

 

Everyone else besides ken = the worst costumes.

 

Ken = what happened? :(
