Sayonara, Shun Goku Satsu: BornFree discusses Akuma’s V-Trigger II for Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition

Get a closer look at Akuma’s new abilities in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition.

BornFree was at PlayStation Experience, and naturally had to get some hands-on time with Akuma in the demonstration build of Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition — in particular, to try out Akuma’s upcoming V-Trigger II: Shiretsu Hasshi.

In the video below, BornFree shares some footage from PlayStation Experience and talks about what’s he’s learned about Akuma’s V-Trigger II. It’s a 2-bar V-Trigger that grants Akuma the ability to utilize EX special moves that consume V-gauge, instead of EX meter — but only off of certain cancels (grounded heavy normals, or regular special moves). This new ability comes with a trade-off: you can’t use the Raging Demon Critical Art in Shiretsu Hasshi. BornFree goes on to talk about some other details, and also shares some potentially useful combos for the new V-Trigger.

And in case you missed it, you’ll also want to check out BornFree’s thoughts on SFV’s Season 3 reveal:

ATLUS is bringing a new version of Catherine to PlayStation 4 and PS Vita: “Catherine: Full Body”

A favorite side-tournament selection gets a refresh for the current console generation.

Fans of the quirky, sexy, and outright unusual PlayStation 3-era title Catherine — which has developed a notable following as an FGC side-tournament game — have a new version of the game to look forward to: ATLUS is planning to bring the expanded and updated Catherine: Full Body to PlayStation 4 and PS Vita in the future.

The new “Full Body” subtitle — which refers to a description of wine, and certainly nothing else — brings along a host of additions to the game, including network play, cross-play support between PS4 and Vita, new story elements and endings, and the addition of a third Catherine: Rin, a pianist at the bar Vincent frequents, pictured below.

The addition of online play, and the move to a console that is already at pretty much every fighting game event already, are the biggest new features for the FGC faithful, naturally. This new version is still in development at present; so stay tuned for updates.
