Yeah the video says the battles in Rival Schools have something unique about them they want to incorporate.....interesting.

Eventhubs had some FGC reaction tweets and there was some talk about CA2, kinda would prefer that instead of air combos.
Tag battle?

Here's a first look at Oro in-engine.
Looks like he's using both arms from the start. Lore nerf?


Tengu Stone confirmed, that’s all I needed to know as an Oro main from 3S. I honestly didn’t trust the current dev team to include it!

Was there a demand for Dan, or is he in because Capcom want to re-use character assets? I think he is a bad choice.
Oro is cool. I'll buy him. Rose and Akira will probably need mods before I consider buying them.

I like how they've implemented him. I can see his V thing leading to some interesting and comedic combos. And it fills the opponent's V thing, so likely to lead to an interesting dynamic in Dan battles. He's certainly looking less crap than he typically is.

When is Rose coming?
Any PS5 enhancements?

Might have to dust off the title
Dan is coming the 22th, at the same time than the new mechanic, the big gameplay rebalance, new trials, new (free) training stage, Twelve (included in the season passes) and many new costumes.

Rose and its stage will be included this "Spring 2021". But Character Pass and Premium Pass already are available, so if you buy one of them you'll get her (and all the other characters and extra stuff like costumes, colors or stages) when released.

No PS5 enhancements mentioned as of now.

Still one more to announce no?
Yes, in addition to Dan, Rose, Oro and Akira there will be a 5th Season V character. Eleven isn't that 5th character, it will be included in the Season Passes as a bonus in addition to the 5 characters.

Just preordered the season 5 character pass and I'm hyped to jump back into SF5 later this month!
I hope the final character is Remy.

This is so shit and the pricing is, again, in good old fighting game fashion of the modern times, a fuck you to buyers of "complete" editions (yeah, looking at you MK11).

Never thought I'd go back to SF5 again. But this V-change is too drastic to ignore. The game has been suffering from defensive options from day 1 - and it's good to finally see a universal mechanic that gives all characters a chance.

So Capcom are updating this game with new features but don't bother with PS5 enhancements. The load times in this game is atrocious I was a hoping a barebones 4K (already on PC version) and fast load times enhancements for PS5.

I haven’t played Ryu so much since the betas! He does feel much improved now. V Trigger 2 has been good fun to trial with the buffs.

Cant say much positive on V Shift tho. I was a bit underwhelmed about this from the reveal. I just don’t see it being something that effects too much in the game. I’m open to being proved wrong, if anybody has any fun V Shift clips please feel free to share!
 
Patch/balance notes are here btw:
I only had the time to check 3 characters, but it looks like cammy got a slight buff, lucia also got a slight buff to increase her pressure and seth got nerf.

However this is a pretty huge general change though:
1) Made the hurtboxes of the lower half of all jumping attacks invincible to grounded light attacks while the character is descending after the jump
2) Added an upper hurtbox to some characters' Crouching medium punch from 1F before active frames to the end of active frames.
3) The upper half of the hitbox for some characters' Crouching medium punch will no longer hit an airborne opponent.

1. no more anti air jabs
2. no more risk free easy anti-air cMPs like mika's
3. no more anti-airs that clearly weren't meant to be anti-airs like ryu or bison's cMP.
 
Kolins cr.hp seems to be a lot more effective than it looks like it would be. I keep trying to jump in on her with Blanka and get clean countered every time.

I havent played this game in ages and didnt remember it being so powerful. Jumping in with Blankas j hk and just getting stopped cold every time, looked very strange. I guess the move just has great hitboxes.
its cuz yr jumpins are reckless. u one and done'd me last night in matchmaking when i was playing seth you should stick around and play the set then you might learn something

Really? lol. I didnt think any Aussies at my rank range posted here. What are the odds?
Anyway, sorry for running after one game. I dont usually do that, but I really hate Seth (and Poison) as characters, and usually bail after one game.
 
Definitely grabbing that seth costume, the stage looks cool though.

V shift is gonna have a big impact on this year imo.
I definitely agree. Hippie G looks pretty clean as well. I've enjoyed SFV so much, so this it's pure hype. V-Shift is going to have some clutch usage.

He is most certainly going to "light it up"
 
I dont like the look of Hippie G and that costume is wasted on Seth. Capcom should've given it to a female character.
The new stage is interesting, but not amazing. Sorry to be such a downer :/
 
I've grown to hate the way juggles look in fighters. Moves that don't look like they should keep someone in the air like a jab pop them all over the place, the shit animation having the juggled character flopping, etc. The way SFV handles juggles looks so much better, and have a satisfying feel to them. Even Gill's extended Retribution juggles manage to not look cheap and wonky.

Sagat is so good this season, his high tiger shot is hard af to deal with when hes zoning mixed in with the low.

I like Gill's design alot but man he js hard to play high level, NEMO IS RIDICULOUS though
 
Oro is a character I might buy straight away. I always liked him in Third Strike. I hope his st mp still puts opponents in a juggle state.

His juggle/stomp loops were a big part of his gameplay, but who knows. I'd imagine them giving him his spirit bomb, but it would use up both CA and V-Trigger like raging demon does.

I also completely forgot about Akira, and whoever the final character will be.....
 
This was a good stream.
Oro looks great and the way they mocapped his moves shows some dedication lol.
Everything about Rose looks polished as hell, I especially like her theme song; giving me bayonetta x castlevania vibes.
Her super being a galick gun is pretty sweet too.

Akira is gonna be my jam though, fast traditional kungfu chick with air combos? yessirrr.
That assist she has with daigo was hot too.

Also one of rose's tarot cards showed C Viper...I can't believe they are going to close out this game without her, considering all the appearances she has made so far.
That last character better be something wild, or it has to be viper.

Well that was pretty good, this format is perfect and they keep the fans happy with infos and a better transparency on what they're working on, their plans for future content, this is what they should have done since the beginning, since Oro's departure things sure improved drastically in this regard.

They acknowledge the positive feedback too, so yeah, better late than never.

Looks like they kept the 2 biggest questions remaining for Oro players as a secret. Full length chicken combos and proper tengu stone juggles

Maybe you'll see them during a few frames during a certain move his two hidden secrets, like in SF3. :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Viper appears in the story of the game and there's a remaining character, so who knows... but I think it's more likely that the last character will be either Fei-Long (the game still lacks a rekka focused character, they removed rekkas from Karin and Poison and he's from SF2) or some know character that never has been an official SF playable character. Someone from the SF lore like Goutetsu or a Darkstalkers guest character (like Morrigan's 2D sprite).
