It's really not difficult to get enough fight money for all six characters, and those characters in turn will give you more easy opportunities to earn fight money. Not sure if it would be enough for the stages, too, but if not you could definitely pick up the rest of them for less than the cost of the season pass.



Character stories, easy survivals, trials, the tutorial stuff you can button through quickly, then a few normal survivals should do it. Normal survival isn't hard at all until 26-30, and some characters can gimmick their way through pretty easily. Guile's v-skill + lp boom is very effective against Bison at the end. I even beat normal with Alex after maybe 4 tries, and I've never played him before.



Even if you can't beat a single normal survival, I bet you could get the remaining characters/stages for way less than 30 bucks. That is, if you don't care about the extra costumes at all.
