Guile was already a solid character in Season 2 of Street Fighter V. With his fast charge times and his ability to build a wall that was difficult to get around, he was far and away stronger than most of the competition. Season 3 has given even more of a reason to pick the character up, with his V-Trigger II.

This V-Trigger allows him to not only do a double flash kick with his EX Flash Kick, but his normal version also shoots out a projectile which can make it tougher to punish his blocked Flash Kicks. In this video, VesperArcade discusses the many uses — and the strength — of this V-Trigger.

Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition is not yet a month old, and I’m starting to see a lot of new balance changes shaking up the previous character usage.With all these new match-ups, it’s important to learn the full extent of your own character’s changes. In light of this, I’m doing a series of videos on ShoryukenTube showing off the most important gameplay adjustments for each character. I’m making one video a day in this series, until I’ve covered all characters.

I’m doing the characters in the order they appear on Capcom’s official patch notes. The order seems to be SFV’s twelve returning characters, the four new characters, the first season of DLC, and then the second season of DLC, in order of release. This week I’ve covered Rainbow Mika and Birdie, as well as series newcomers Necalli, Rashid, Laura, and F.A.N.G. With these six characters, I’ve now covered the base roster of the game.

Continuing with last time, I’m also doing a video covering each character’s new V-trigger II. These new V-triggers significantly affect gameplay, and they have a lot of intricacies that are not well-defined in the game’s demonstration mode. So, I look at each character’s new V-Trigger in detail here, and explain its uses.

That’s sixteen characters down, now only the DLC to go! Check out my previous videos here:

Rising Up: Season 3 — New V-Triggers and important changes for Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Cammy, & Nash

Rising Up: Season 3 — New V-Triggers and important changes for M. Bison, Vega, Dhalsim, Zangief, & Karin

I’ll continue with both series every day until I’ve covered all characters, which should take about a month total. Keep an eye on the ShoryukenTube YouTube channel, so you don’t miss out!
