Street Fighter V - Ibuki reveal

She looks awesome, I like the afterimage dashes.

But my fingers are looking at her moves and going "There's no WAY we can do that, and you know it!" She looks extremely execution heavy.

All these chaining normals are target combos, which are super easy to pull off. She might turn out to be execution heavy, but there's nothing in that vid to suggest she isn't.
 
Did they really have to give her a schoolgirl outfit?

not Balrog

Pretty much.
 
She looks excellent. A bit of cartoon mischief about her. Street Fighter V's changes to wakeup should mean she relies less on the dry routine of her SFIV vortex style too, which is a very good thing.

I'll definitely be giving her a try. I hope the daytime Kanzuki Estate stage comes alongside too.
 
Let me guess her OG costume is available for 40000 FM. :lol

Both her and Guile felt like what were supposed to be their alt. is their main.

Anyways, she looks great!
 
How old is Ibuki normally? She looks like she's a middle schooler or high school freshman here.

I think her and Elena are like college freshmen in 3s. This is before that, so she'd be in high school.


Stroheim as FUHHHH

since we got Ibuki, it has to be this one I guess

Do not trust any list, guys.
It's interesting how the villainous characters are last.

Almost as if building up for season 2's story/theme!
 
lol is she wearing bloomers?
japanese are gonna love her
not sure how i feel tbh, i think she's slower than her sf4 version?

sako will probably use her? can't wait to see in daigo's weekly stream
 
she looks pretty fun to play with... taking a look at her moves it looks like they gave her pretty good zoning abilities with her kunai... but i can imagine that she doesn't have a large damage output considering how she can pin down her opponents with a mix of zoning and her target combo rush downs.

...

she looks like a gief nightmare.
 
Ibuki's a Jounin level ninja. She's dope but Naruto's got so many Rasengans he'd send that girl straight to Sakura for healing.

Ibuki's the one to make a difference tho. All that Naruto shit will take her far. Get getting for the Naruto/Dattebayo/Rasengan comments during tourneys!

Huh, interesting. If she's fast, has good normals and some target combos for newbie friendly damage... I might have to try her. I mean, as long as the Zenny Store isn't up, why not at least give her a go?
 
Looks like they made neckbreaker her super... wonder if it goes under fireballs since her regular neckbreaker in SF4 did not. I would assume it does since it's a super that uses meter.

V-trigger is the bomb that looks like it OTGs.

V-reversal is the log thing I think.

Wonder what the V-skill is.

I'm thinking her V-Skill is pulling out five kunai. It'll boost her kunai moves to launch five at a time, instead of just one.
 
Was it popular here before Ibuki though?
Was Ibuki popular anywhere ever though? I don't think Naruto blew up at the time here, but who knows if she had some inspiration on him because of its popularity in Japan.

The thing is, this incarnation of Ibuki, her CA animation more specifically, is clearly inspired by Naruto.

She always had the energy ball special, but just look the way it's being used now.
 
uh

why is she wearing a short skirt

the old design atleast looked almost like a ninja outfit

uh

I'm going to say she looks horrible compared to her old look.
