DLC Stages?

[Infinite Retro]

If you buy the character season passes does it also unlock the dlc stages? i only ask cos in game right now it shows the new stages with a cart sign. if you click on it to buy with fight money or on steam, if you choose steam it loads it up and shows the stage is like $3.99 but on the store itself theres no additional dlc covering the stages.

any ideas guys?

A stage pack is not needed.

They haven't made one, so I'm guessing don't expect one.

But that's what FM is for, unlock them for free.
(reminder: only get ones you want, you can totally still play with people who have stages unlocked that you don't have, so don't worry about that)

You can get 700,000 FM in eight hours if you know what you're doing:

You have until the 16th get all of it before they change the system to switch which modes give you FM.

Once AE launches, you'll earn FM in a new way:

It should be said the season 1 pass comes with Guile's stage but that's the only one.

I'm saving up all my FM exclusively for stages because by now I'm so sick of the default ones. It's a shame more people I fight online don't have DLC stages. I've only fought on the beach once, England castle twice, and Thailand twice. I still have never seen the others. Though I expect come Tuesday every other battle will be at Sakura's house.

Same here.

But I can undestand that some stages are not used often for various reasons, for example:
Akuma / Thailand stage: performance drops on low end machines
Beach stage: banned from tournaments, because of the water covering/hiding some objects.
Sky / Plane stage: creates motion sickness to some people

I bought the S3 pass partly so I can afford to buy a few more stages and costumes with this year's fight money payouts rather than spending them all on characters. Also because I do like the classic costumes for Alex, Ibuki, Juri, Gouki and Kolin and would happily use those instead of the default ones. Can't say I really care for the 30th anniversary ones though.

But to be honest, I don't really need either costumes or stages. The most important stage for me is the training grid, because it lets me gauge distance when training. But other than that, all other stages and costumes are a luxury. The only stage I've bought so far is the Malaysian beach stage, simply because I'm Malaysian. Saving up for Sakura's stage, but there's not a lot else that I really want, even if they do look nice.
