VesperArcade analyzes Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition’s possible new V-Triggers

Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition is breathing new life into Capcom’s most popular fighting game. While so far we know that every character is getting new V-Triggers, we don’t have a clear idea yet of what they are. However, we have screenshots!

VesperArcade provides an analytical overview of the screenshots available so far of Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition. He starts with an image of Menat that features a Japanese city, which could possibly be a new stage. Moving on to gameplay matters, he begins by saying that we’re not sure if there will be new V-Skills as well — just new V-Triggers. Starting with Ryu, they talk about him likely having a new two-bar V-Trigger that looks like a Focus Attack. The translation of the new V-Trigger, “Kakko Fubatsu” means things like “unwavering,” “steadfast,” etc. Maybe we’ll see Evil Ryu come back?

M. Bison also has a two-bar V-Trigger. There’s a bit more speculation surrounding his new power. There’s some kind of crumble effect after hitting with it, as evidenced by the screenshot with Cammy. The video continues with looks at Rashid, Chun-Li, Birdie, R. Mika, Ken, and Dhalsim.

We also recently found out that DLC codes will be used to get the new characters for the retail version of Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition.

YOUDEAL is pitting Team Japan versus Team USA in a special 5v5 Street Fighter V exhibition

Bringing together some of the finest Street Fighter V players from the USA and Japan, esports organization YOUDEAL is hosting a special 5v5 team exhibition to determine which country is truly the best. With Daigo Umehara as Japan’s captain and Justin Wong as the USA’s, it’s going to be quite the showdown. The lineups are as follows:

Team Japan

  • GRPT|Haitani
  • GRPT|Fuudo
  • AW|Nemo
  • GGP|Kazunoko
  • Hx.Twitch.CYG BST|Daigo Umehara (team captain)

Team USA

  • RISE|Smug
  • Splyce|Filipino Champ
  • CYG BST|Snake Eyez
  • CYG BST|PR Balrog
  • FOX|Justin Wong (team captain)

Both teams are missing some heavy hitters, with both NuckleDu and Punk nowhere to be seen for Team USA, while Team Japan have let Tokido, Yukadon and Momochi sit this one out. You’ll have to be up pretty early to watch this exhibition, with it streaming live on NicoNico at 8pm JST/4am PDT tomorrow. Hopefully, there will be an English restream at some point, so non-night owls can catch up on all of the action.

When the team behind World of Warplanes decided that the current version wasn’t working out, they knuckled down on a fresh experience that made flight combat more interesting, more accessible, and ultimately more rewarding.
