This is the V-Gauge; it's found in the bottom corner of your characters' side of the screen. V-Gauges can contain either two or three bars, depending on the characters. Your V-Gauge fills up mostly by taking damage, and bars are required to use a V-Reversal move (one bar) or V-Trigger (all bars). V-Skill does not require any bars.

V-Skills are unique to each character and can be used at any time, fills the V-Gauge on "succesful" use. Activated by pressing mp + mk at the same time.

When one or more of your V-Gauge bars is filled, you can use a V-Reversal. V-Reversals are counter attacks to break out of your opponent's pressure, and costs 1 bar of your V-Gauge. Activated during guard by pressing forward + lp+mp+hp or lk+mk+hk at the same time.

When your V-Gauge is completely full, you can use your V-Trigger. V-Triggers are character specific; some drain the V-Gauge slowly, while others deplete it as soon as the move is used. Activated by pressing hp + hk at the same time.

A TOTAL OF 23 CHARACTERS ARE CURRENTLY PLAYABLE

Q: Still no arcade mode?!
A: Arcade mode has been rumoured to be added soon, at least if the datamine is to be trusted, along with the "extra battle" mode.
Q: Will we get Season 2?
A: Character Pass 2017 has been announced on the 3rd of December:
the 2017 Character Pass also releases on December 20th for $29.99 / €29.99 / £24.99 and will grant pass holders with Akuma, in addition to 5 brand new fighters as they join the fray throughout 2017
Q: Super Street Fighter V?
A: If another version of SF5 would be released, it would just be a repacked version with Season 1 content, the game's update model is structured as such that all balance updates are free, so the playerbase will never be fragmented.
Q: So nothing about the Season 2 roster yet?
A: Akuma has been confirmed as noted above, fan favourites like Sagat remain highly requested. The following characters have shown up in the story and could possibly show up in Season 2, however the character pass 2017 does note Brand New characters:

Q: What percentage of the Capcom Pro Tour DLC revenue is going to the Capcom Cup 2016 prize pool?
A: A minimum of 30% of the revenue will go to the Capcom Cup 2016 prize pool, and an additional 50% of the revenue is invested into Capcom Pro Tour production. That means that Capcom contributes more than 80% of all CPT DLC revenue directly to support Capcom Pro Tour initiatives.
Q: Where can I go to find all that juicy frame data?
A: FATonline is a good place to start.
Q: How can I get Fight Money?
A: Fight Money is only available if you are connected to the server; if you are playing Street Fighter V in offline mode, you will not earn any Fight Money, even when you log back in. You can earn Fight Money through the following activities:

• General Story
• Character Story
• Trials
• Ranked Match
• Casual Match
• Survival
• Challenges
• Fight Money cannot be earned in Battle Lounges.
• Read this handy guide on earning FM

Q: Why can't I chip people out?
A: Chip damage can only KO an opponent if it is chip damage from a Critical Art.
Q: What is the priority system?
A: Supers > Specials = Heavy > Medium > Light.
Q: Can you crouch-tech throws?
A: No, to tech a throw you must be standing up
Q: Wait, so how does crossplay work?
A: The game has its own matchmaking system called "Capcom Fighters Network" or CFN for short, this allows people to match even if they are on Steam or PSN
Q: Is SFV forgotten?
A: ...
Q: Why is online so laggy?!
A: Please don't play online if you are on Wi-Fi, likewise you might be getting matched with Wi-Fi connections. Also there are a bunch of ports required for proper communictation:

UDP: 30840-30859, 30870-30879
Q: Help! My game crashed during updating and now just keeps crashing.
A: Try what user Demoli posted

[enzo_gt]

 

[Neoxon]

Nice OT, man.

Also, AKUMA HYPE!!!!!

 

[JayEH]

Damn I got third on the wall of shame lol. Great OT. Season 2 here we come.

 

[Skab]

That new thread smell!


Akuma on his own is going to be a monster in SF5, assuming they dont drastically change him.

But I'm REALLY curious about what his vskill/sytem will be.

And I wonder if hes an inbetween character, or part of season 2?

 

[lucebuce12]

Hot damn, that is one nice looking OT. Looking forward to the being on the wall of shame for this thread too!

 

[SSReborn]

That inevitable Akuma vs Necalli matchup gonna be so hype!

 

[Kashiwaba]

What's the wall of shame for??

 

[lucebuce12]

What's the wall of shame for??

People with the most posts in the last thread. I'm the most shameful.

Spoiler

And have been for 5 OTs in a row.

 

[Forearm Star]

Nice OP

Game is fantastic, bring on season 2

 

[TheSpoiler]

Akkkummmmaaaaaaaa

Remember when they did him dirty in EX2 and 3 by not including him?

 

[Hyun Sai]

Finally, the Hori products are in the OP. Thanks man.

 

[Omnistalgic]

Woohooo boy that is some sexy ish!!!

Tks for the shoutout for my scrubby Ken! Man...a few more patches and updates, and we might be out of beta

Fantastic OP man..

Well done

 

[sixteen-bit]

In like Flynn

*updates subs*

 

[TheTylerRob]

As of today US is no longer free!

 

[colinp]

Shouldn't this be in community?

 

[Neoxon]

OP, you should probably swap the Mad Catz FightPad Pro for the revised version with the better D-Pad.

 

[GuileBootCamp]

Really nice OP.

What are the criteria for being a Gaf final boss, btw?

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Shouldn't this be in community?

shh we're trying to pretend the game has been relaunched like all those threads demanded

 

[BlizzKrut]

Perfect start for the new thread, can't wait for Capcom Cup!

 

[sixteen-bit]

don't relegate this to a winpose again pls

 

[The Orz]

Great OT! And I can't believe I missed the Akuma tease. That stage--I hope it's a stage--looks gorgeous!

 

[SephLuis]

New OT, new challenges. Gotta keep training.

 

[Skab]

Quoting myself from the other thread but

WAIT.

WHAT IF HIS V-TRIGGER IS HIM TURNING IN TO SHIN AKUMA, WITH WHITE HAIR AND THE DIFFERENT SYMBOL ON HIS BACK

HOLY SHIT IM HYPE JUST THINKING ABOUT IT

 

[Omnistalgic]

Really nice OP.

What are the criteria for being a Gaf final boss, btw?

OP was asking for everyone's rank, so I think it's just members with a fairly high rank who posts in the OT. If your plat and up you qualify I think

 

[Skilletor]

Shouldn't this be in community?

This, but awesome op.

 

[TheSpoiler]

shh we're trying to pretend the game has been relaunched like all those threads demanded

What's SFV

 

[sixteen-bit]

Quoting myself from the other thread but

Would be cool if the game got more install characters

 

[VariantX]

Love that new thread smell. Nice of you to perfectly time it with the next character announcement and the conclusion of a pretty hype finals at Redbull Battlegrounds OP.

 

[lucebuce12]

Really nice OP.

What are the criteria for being a Gaf final boss, btw?

[Shadow_Lord]

Oh wow, I am surprised I made it to be a "Final Boss" now. I'm decent but not that good, especially not now when I'm rusty af

Spoiler

And technically I'm a Super Silver now >_>

 

[GuileBootCamp]

Yeah I fucked up, I remember asking you for your cfn, I updated it right when I read your post.

Cool, thanks.

 

[OniBaka]

That OT title is so true for me at the moment.

 

[Producer]

Very sweet OP. Im no final boss though. Im like Dan in puzzle fighter

 

[SephLuis]

Just recently that I had too play less because of life >.>

 

[MrCarter]

Amazing OT much better than the previous one.

Also people went crazy at Redbull battle grounds following Akuma's reveal:

https://youtu.be/-BRyddpEwpk

 

[MThanded]

I stopped playing this like 3 weeks after it came out. Was a huge SF4 fan and bought every iteration.

Should I play this again?

My lack of interest in the game also gave me general lack of interest in watching streams too. I watched EVO and that was it.

 

[Crayon]

We are not worthy.

 

[Neoxon]

I stopped playing this like 3 weeks after it came out. Was a huge SF4 fan and bought every iteration.

Should I play this again?

My lack of interest in the game also gave me general lack of interest in watching streams too. I watched EVO and that was it.

That depends on what made you quit in the first place.

 

[DantesLink]

And so we begin anew, maybe I'll get off my keister and get level up my Laura/Ryu game.

Amazing OT much better than the previous one.

Also people went crazy at Redbull battle grounds following Akuma's reveal:

https://youtu.be/-BRyddpEwpk

Thanks for the share, was hoping someone would upload a stage shot.

Should I play this again?

My lack of interest in the game also gave me general lack of interest in watching streams too. I watched EVO and that was it.

I mean, everyone here is going to say yes. It depends on what turned you off. The matchmaking is a shitload better and rage quitting is significantly less of a problem. If your issue is single player content, well...¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[Mr. X]

I hope there's an original character in the Season 2 line up.
And no more SF4 characters.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

I'm platinum too =D
