Street Fighter V fans have almost certainly already taken a look at Capcom’s new official trailer for Urien; the Capcom-Unity blog has followed up with their usual breakdown of what the Illuminati’s number two brings to the SFV arena.
As listed in the blog:
First introduced in Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact, Urien is the Vice President of Illuminati and wants nothing but to take over Illuminati from his older brother, Gill, and destroy Shadaloo. Urien has complete confidence in his own physicality and this elitism shows itself through his sadistic and tyrannical tendencies. He gains joy only from dominating others and having them crumble in the face of his incredible power.
V-Skill: Metallic Aura
Urien’s skin tone changes and he can absorb a single hit as he rushes forward in a brutal shoulder tackle.
V-Trigger: Aegis Reflector
One of the 66 Illuminati Secret Arts, this energy barrier reflects projectiles and will knock unblocking opponents back if they make contact. Directional input while activating V-trigger controls where the barrier will appear; Urien can project two of them during V-trigger to set up some sadistic zoning and juggle scenarios.
Critical Art: Dominate Crush
The name says it all! Urien channels his powerful energy into the ground to raise a “pillar of destruction.”
Of course, those who have played the “A Shadow Falls” General Story Mode have had a chance to try out these powers already!
Capcom-Unity confirms that Urien’s official release is indeed due in September, but have yet to offer a solid date. They also indicate that more information about Urien’s release and the previously mentioned September update content will be revealed at the Tokyo Game Show next week–so stay locked on!
