All extra characters are DLC, but you can pay 100000 FM for every extra character unlocking.

The best actual course of action without spending real money to unlock is this:

1- Buy the Arcade Edition with the code with S1 and S2 characters.

2- Grind every character (16 base + 6 S1 + 6 S2 = 28) to level 30, that gives a total of 28 * 30000 FM = 840000 FM. Enough to buy/unlock the entire S3 plus Kage of S4.

3- Optional, you can do the same with the S3 extra characters and Kage... So 7 * 30000 FM = 210000 FM with it's a good start for the next S4.

And after that, save every FM earned to buy futur characters just in case.

I did so far, but I've been playing since Beta.

I only have enough FM for 2 more characters, though.

Since every level up give you 1K fm, and they can go up to lvl 100 (i think ?), every char can pay for himself in theory. But you gain so little XP only when you win, it's basically not achievable. I wonder what is the highest lvl someone could reach in the world.. are lvl 90 characters a thing yet ?

Only in theory (it will take forever).

It used to be possible, but with the recent reduction in Fight Money gain it's becoming increasingly impossible to do. All characters can be unlocked with Fight Money, and if you buy Arcade Edition you could probably unlock most of the ones that are missing from that version, but it'd become very hard to unlock the ones that are going to get added this season.

Fight money > real money I ve unlocked all characters whit real money. I dunno why i appreciate more saves fm asd

Fight money. You need to finish the story and do some daily missions/quest that would appear on your screen.

Else buy it from PS store with real money.

Oh boy

you get fight money from levelling up characters so just grind all the story mode stuff, tutorials and survival modes. its 100k per character.

Sweet, and congratulations on the plat! 🔥 The last Street Fighter game I played a while ago was the original SF IV (PS3).

Nice congrats, u planning on plating other fighting games

Congrats! I can hold my own in SF, but I have no chance of winning a tournament. Still love the game.

Street Fighter 6

You can get like 3-4 characters fairly quick through the other modes and leveling. Story doesn't give FM. After like the 4th character it will take a long time. For $25 its worth upgrading to CE

Story mode used to give 200k and weekly missions around 8k, but they reduced weekly missions to like 800 et removed the 200k for the story mode.

By finishing every character mini stories, survival mode easy and survival mode medium, you will receive a total of 18k per character. That's enough to buy 2 characters, after that you do the same thing with the newly unlocked characters and you will be able to buy a 3rd character with what remained from your last earnings.

Rashid is probably one of the best characters and is free.

With the money i suggest you Akuma and Ibuki.

levelup all characters in survival, it'll probably take you a few years

Base roster is fully playable from the start. And usually DLC characters need to be purchased.

SFV had an interesting feature where you could actually unlock DLC characters with in-game money. But from my eyes, that was an experimental feature from a time long before the fighting game monetization had been standardized, so I'm not confident that will be back. But it would be cool if I was wrong.

Base roster is unlocked at launch

DLC can be bought individually or with season passes, no word on in-game currency for buying characters.

Base Roster is unlocked by default.

The ultimate version mentions four extra characters though. Is that soon to come characters or will I have a chance of missing out of zangeif by buying standard?

You will unlock all of them when sf6 ultimate arcade edition comes out for free.

But you'll have to pay $70 for that expansion

We're any of them a real pain to get?

That's really impressive. Do you play other fighting games too?

Have you done 5 at all?

I'm stuck on winning 10 tournament matches, I'm on gold rank and always paired with what seems to be master or legends mains.

156 hours of playtime and only won once a match, at this rate it's gonna take a long while lol.

Unfortunately I believe you have to be able to connect to the online store to be able to purchase them, unless you go back and pick up Arcade Edition, which should have S1 & 2 characters.

However I believe all of S3 will be locked from you, and exclusive to online.

If your game cant go online you will be playing the launch version of sfv or the season 2 version if you bought arcade edition and you will always be stuck with the 16 base characters characters... if you cant go online at all i wouldnt advice anyone to buy or play SFV.

Fight money is only earned when logged in to SFV servers iirc.

Also, don't buy the first version of an old fighting game. Get the newest one.

Playing story mode and character stories should get enough to buy two, I think.

If you cant go online, I would say SFV isnt the best game for you. You need to be online to unlock characters and costumes.

Congrats man! I’m a plat DeeJay rn. SF6 my first fighting game too! Any tips for plat to diamond ?

Congrats dude, now get to high master !

Per the Bot's request here's some more info about my journey! I started playing sf6 because some friends learned I liked fighting games. I really only played them casually and almost never online because for the longest time netcode was just terrible in them. I had no idea what oki, frame data, etc was. It was all foreign to me. I did play tekken 7 very casually and the hype around Akuma coming out prompted me to check out the character as I wanted to know why he was such a big deal. I watched some lore videos and he just looked cool. My friends told me Akuma was coming to sf6 as a DLC character so I got the game and started as Ryu. While my journey may have been much easier if I stuck with Ryu or my other character Zangief, Akuma was just too cool. I played much worse with him than I did with my other two characters for a very long time but I was determined. I was struggling with the lower health, the stance dependant combos (enemy crouching vs standing) etc. I wasn't able to utlize his extra tools enough to offset his lower HP and as a result I performed terribly for a long time. My efforts eventually paid off. Looking back it may of been better to try and get master with Ryu first then switch to Akuma but I have no regrets. I'm eying Ken or Sagat next!

Also, here's one of my recent hype plays.
