How the hell do I beat Shin Akuma

[Dave]

This ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is invincible on literally everything and he's sapping away my FM, the hell do I do?

Stupid comparison is stupid.

Also, it's cause they already invested something in it.
Some people just refuse that stuff is taken away, so they wanna get at least something out of it..

What, did people think the hardest boss in SF history was just going to stand there and let you punch him unitl he KOs? Let's face it, people went into the challenge thinking they could beat him, and their egos couldn't take it when they ate a Raging Demon and lost.

The challenge clearly states the only thing you get out of it is a title and a small amount of XP.
So for the people who wasted a ton of fight money and finally won, I hope people felt that title was worthwhile, because they could've stopped at any point.

引用自 Nero：

And it's less complaining about losing over and over, it's complaining about crappy Capcom practices.

Playing an OPTIONAL boss fight challenge, and losing repeatedly, then blaming Capcom for 'crappy practices' is just being a sore loser. Capcom isn't forcing anyone to take the challenge.

It seems they've added an FP cost on every try because otherwise you'd just farm the xp. But a far better and fairer way would have been to simply charge more upfront, let you have unlimited retries and only award the xp and title once.
That or some middle ground where you can retry as many times as you want until you win.

Ideally just remove the XP award and make the challenge free/dead cheap to enter full stop.

After all, theres no point to the XP reward. Once you've got characters leveled up you're not making any fight money back that way.

Classic Capcom ♥♥♥♥ move once again. Extra battle are actually fairly easy for any advanced player but for the majority of the player base this is just a HUGE FM sink and it's downright dirty. Honestly, if you're a newb or not very good DO NOT attemps this fight.

Capcom still has an arcade mentality unfortunately. If you made it to Shin Akuma in the arcade and lost, you'd have to keep pouring in coins to continue until you won, or were broke. Honestly, this is very much a Japanese thing. Japanese hardcore players would happily take the challenge because they like extreme difficulty and being able to beat it.

I'm totally fine with making the challenge free entry and zero reward, but if the attitude of people in this forum is any indicator, people will still complain that they got nothing out of it. Look at the people complaining about Arcade Mode not granting Fight Money, for example.

Honestly, they could have at least give you some for Arcade mode. All you get is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ image, A IMAGE, like comon, that's just lazy as ♥♥♥♥.

I actually thought some of the artwork is not bad, but I get what you mean. I suppose because there's already a story mode they didn't bother with an animated Arcade Mode.

As for Fight Money, I think the reason they won't give you because you could just keep grinding arcade mode for them. A small, one-time payment would be nice though.

Wasn't hard to figure out a Bison cheese strat against Shin Akuma... you just knock him down and then do headstomp- the AI will try to jump at wakeup to anti-air you and you can just repeat until he dies.

The bummer though is you get a LOOT BOX for beating him?! all I got was some title for Necalli... am I missing something? I thought this was supposed to give you bonus costumes.

And they had a clean slate to do some good with and have dropped the ball already...the people behind this game are morons.

And still you're 440 hours in. What a pathetic hypocrite you are.

Thats the other one. This one was for the title. (note, to get the costume you need to beat the other one once a week for 4 weeks)

You walk away and never touch extra mode battle. Thats how you beat em. Unless of course you wanna simulate what its like to lose everything in a pach i n ko machine.

Yes, small amount would have been fine or even some extra color. Aracde mode is lame.
