Street Fighter V features a new distribution model where Capcom is releasing roughly one new character per month, starting in March. They’re also allowing for the purchase of individual costumes. In real life, it’s $6 US per character and $4 US per costume, which can add up real fast. However, the game also allows you to earn Fight Money, which is in-game currency that can also be used to purchase characters and items.
Having said that, it’s a grind. You gain 50 Fight Money for each online win, but characters cost 100,000 FM, while costumes cost 40,000 FM. There has to be an easier way than simply winning 2,000 matches for the privilege of earning one free character. If you want everything for free, you’re going to have to put in a ton of work to a point where it’s unrealistic for most players to achieve. There are, however, a few tips for gaining a decent chunk of Fight Money quickly.
