Q2: I already have SFV or SFVAE, how do I get CE?

A: If you already have the base game, or AE, just relax and watch the FREE update download come Feburary 2020.

Q3: What if I don't own the base game?

A: You can pre-order or purchase CE like any normal game. You can wait for it to release, and buy the game then. Or get the base game + Upgrade kit pre-order now

Q4: Do I get anything special if I purchase CE Upgrade Kit, instead of downloading the free patch for the base game?

A: Yes, you get a code with to unlock characters from:

Seasons 1, Season 2, Season 3, and Season 4.

(basically it's a rebrand of the current Arcade Deluxe Edition of SFV but with even more new content, and updates)

Q5: Ok, I want to upgrade. So what about the past DLC characters from SFVAE?

A: If you have them, you keep them. If you don't have them, then you better unlock Fight Money, or buy the Upgrade Kit to get everything

Q6: I saw Gill and Fem-Seth, are they part of CE?

A: Yes. Both Gill and Seth are part of CE. Gill is available now, and Seth comes in mid February. Though currently it's unknown how they will handle "Character Pass" DLC this time around, we don't know how many characters will be added after CE launches. But like always, future new characters are "extra content" that can be unlocked for free with Fight Money, or purchased as a bundle.

Q7: You said "Fight Money" before, what is that?

A: Fight Money (FM) is the earn-able in-game currency that allows you to unlock DLC characters for FREE, (obviously meaning that there is no monetary cost, just play the game and complete challenges and unlock characters without paying a dime more)

Q8: Is there a pre-order bonus?

A: Yes, Preorder bonus content:If you pre-order, you'll receive a new color for each character, which will be redeemable at launch and a special wallpaper. (content will be available at time of purchase for steam users)

Q9: What about Capcom's promise not to re-release this game as a new version?

A: Capcom never made that promise, ever. People misunderstood the "actual" promise they made which was "One disk to rule them all" which means you only need 1 copy of the game to stay up to date, and in the same player pool, no more fracturing the playerbase between versions.

Q10: How do we earn FM in AE?

• A: It's unknown if there will be any further changes to earning FM. But the current system from AE is as follows: we get a weekly challenge against a shadowloo henchmen, and now extra battle mode will be the sources of bigger FM earnings:
  
  
• For more about the current FM system:

Q11: What about my old mods?

• If you installed any mods, or use mod managers, you must REMOVE ALL MOD FILES:
  
  • For additional support, please read the toubleshooting guide:

Q12: Is any content not included CE

• A: Yes, both the "CE retail" and "CE upgrade kit" excludes Fighting Chance costumes, brand collaboration costumes and Capcom Pro Tour DLC.

Q13: If I pre-order the Championship Edition Upgrade Kit now, do I have to wait until Feburary for the past DLC to unlock?

• No, the previous DLC packs unlock instantly when you purchase the Upgrade Kit.

Q14: What connection type is recommend to play online?

• Ethernet wired connection, because this is a 2D style fighting game, it's one of the fastest paced genres that exist. The slightest bit of lag will disrupt the flow of the match. Wi-Fi, by design, is not able to handle this genre well.

Here's where the "one disc" thing comes from:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VW8OhG9GB8Y

Jump to minute 55 and you'll see a guy state that he thinks it's great that they're designing SFV with only one definitive version, apparently by your definition he's an illiterate. And strangely no one on the panel says a thing about it, why wouldn't they correct this obvious misinterpretation of what they'd just said?

And why didn't Capcom correct RPS, or IGN, or Gamespot, or any of the many other gaming sites that covered that panel and apparently misunderstood? They actually did reach out to Gamespot to correct something in their article by the way, but it was only to specify that FM could only be used to earn gameplay related DLC. So it's not like they weren't watching the media reports.

If it really was just people misunderstanding, at what point does Capcom completely ignoring them all getting it wrong turn into them being complicit in misleading them?

At this point I'm sure you'll say never, because why wouldn't you? Anyone who's willing to tell someone who just purchased the standard edition of SFV that they could still earn all of the DLC fighters for free if they're "dedicated" has clearly drunk the kool-aid.

It's pretty obvious to me that they intended there to never be multiple editions of SFV, at least not until near SF6 launch, had it been a success. But when the game badly underperformed they went back to what they knew, rebrand and rerelease to generate interest. Thankfully it worked well enough with AE to get us another full season and some other potential improvements, as well as a definitive version for what is likely nearing the end of the game's life cycle.

That's not where "one disc" thing came from. I linked you to the sources where they explain in detail what that means.

As far as that Panel, Combofiend simply answered "we don't know, because we're not that far in the future"

As for that guy's question, SFV is the definitive version STILL. Because none of these updates deprecate the vanilla game.

You can buy vanilla SFV, and still play online with people playing SFV:CE.
Because SFV vanilla, and SFV:CE are the same game. One just has a DLC bundle with it, that's it.

Not one single outlet that I've ever seen, claimed that SFV wouldn't get any DLC or updates.

So what needs to be corrected? Please show me where a news site claimed that SFV won't get any updates or DLC.

If any did, they're directly contradicting the statements Capcom clearly laid out for everyone.

Originally posted by zoiks:

Capcom told the truth, and explained explicitly what their business model is for SFV.

They can't be held accountable for morons starting rumors, and believing fake news, they already made several statements confirming what their plan is.

If you or anyone else didn't understand, that's your own fault.

I'm someone who repeatedly tells the truth in the face of an onslaught of lies.

I'm not responsible for the lies you want to believe after ignoring the truth I've already told you.

Then you're illiterate, I'm sorry to say.

I warned all of you about this back in 2015.

Which is more likely, that I was telepathically discerning the future?
Or that I simple read the press releases properly?

None of that matters, because the one disc policy is what they promised, and the one disc policy is still in effect even now.

If I own every season passes and characters until now, the most viable option is to wait for the free update.

Yes

Originally posted by Danilo.ds:

But considering this situation, will those stages and costumes be also included for free? Or do I have to buy the upgrade to have access to it?

You would only have to buy the upgrade to access new DLC you don't already own.

So the stages and 200 costumes will come for free within the CE update (in this case I already have all the characters)?

Buying the CE upgrade Kit is how you get the remaining characters and costumes you don't already own.

If you already own everything, then don't worry about anything, and just wait for the free update instead.

So I need to buy the base game in order to play? Or does Champion Edition includes it?

Champion Edition includes the base game.

Champion Edition includes the base game.

That's not what it says in its store page:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1150190/Street_Fighter_V__Champion_Edition_Upgrade_Kit/

"This content requires the base game Street Fighter V on Steam in order to play."

It looks like people who don't have the game have to buy SF5 base game + SF5 Champion Edition Upgrade Kit Bundle.

You're looking at the upgrade kit bundle
That's for people who already have the base game.

SFV Champion Edition can be bought standalone once it releases in February at retail.

(Dude, check the sources in FAQ above, all this is explained)

Is this saying in that japanese PDF file? They should put this information in pre-order page description...

The free update doesn't include any new DLC

You need the upgrade kit if you want more DLC than you already have.

I think I'll buy it. Because of those 40 chars EX09 colors. I alread Skip Extra Battle crossover skins to pay at least 45 BRL for the crossover packs, to pay 50 BRL for the upgrade because of those colors will be quite the same. After that, if I don't buy it, how can I get those colors? Maybe it is a pre-order exclusive only, or it will be unlockable in Fighting Chance in a extreme rare way... Who knows...?
EX06 colors being rare is already upset... Only four EX06 chars colors left for me, but I have been playing this game only for almost a year since I bought just to spent FM on Fighting Chance... So I think I don't need more "work" on that one.

[Danilo.ds]

This pack still a good deal.

But looks like the cloud save still not included. It would be a great addition.

[Sixtyfivekills]

Don't know what category each costume belongs to, so please enlighten me....


Will it contain Vergil DLC?

[Rocky]

So, I own Season 1, 2, 3, but not 4. I guest CE does not make sense for me?

Man didn't you read the faq? You need to decide for yourself if it's worth to you to pay 25€ for the content you are missing.

CE will also give you all stages except cpt stages, all costumes except fighting chance costumes, cpt costumes and red bull costumes + All colours for them except fighting chance colours and some very few special colours. You will also get all season 4 characters including unreleased gill and one more character which isn't revealed yet (probably seth according to dataminers).
If you want all/most content, CE is a very good deal.

I did read it, but the value of the bundle was not very clear to me.

So if I'm completionists, it makes sense. Otherwise, I can wait for the characters to go on sale.

Actually, it's not such a bad deal after tall.
