Following the conclusion of this year’s Capcom Pro Tour, Capcom has released Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition’s newest character, “Kage,” along with a balance patch to give each character some new bells and whistles. This patch changes every character and addresses some of the most common complaints about Season 3 and 3.5. By popular demand, I’m continuing my series on ShoryukenTube where I analyze the Season 4 patch notes and describe how the changes will affect each character’s combos and playstyle going forward. While it’s critical to know your own character’s balance adjustments, you also benefit from knowing your opponent’s options against you.
This time, I’ve made videos describing the most important changes for F.A.N.G, Alex, Guile, Ibuki, and Balrog:
If you missed my previous videos, check them out here:
- Rising Up: Season 4 — Important changes for Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Cammy, and Nash
- Rising Up: Season 4 — Important changes for M. Bison, Vega, Birdie, Karin, and Rainbow Mika
- Rising Up: Season 4 — Important changes for Zangief, Dhalsim, Rashid, Laura, and Necalli
And here’s the YouTube playlist for all characters so far, which I’ll update as I go.
I’ll be working my way through the roster in the same order as the in-game character list, so next time I hope to cover Juri, Urien, Akuma, Kolin, and Ed. Remember to subscribe to the ShoryukenTube YouTube channel so you don’t miss out!
