And the invincible backdash returns
As part of this morning’sStreet Fighter V: Champion EditionWinter Update presentation, Capcom producers Takayuki Nakayama and Shuhei Matsumoto announced that the master of Saikyo-Style, Dan Hibiki, will kick offSFV‘s fifth and final season of content on February 22. Dan will be joined by fellowStreet Fighter Alphaalumni Rose,Street Fighter III‘s Oro,Rival Schools’Akira, and a mystery fifth competitor at a later date.
Perhaps more interestingly is the apparent inclusion of the recently leaked fighter “Eleven” who doesnotappear to be the character pass’ unnamed season five fighter. Instead – at least according to the above graphic which was displayed during the stream – Eleven will be a “Bonus Fighter” for players who purchase the season five Character Pass. This suggests that season five’s mystery character is somebody else entirely. C. Viper still has a chance!
You can check out the full presentation below, which includes anearly build preview of Rose, a breakdown on Dan Hibiki, a look at the brand new training stage, and the first appearance ofSFV’snew battle mechanic “V-Shift” which allows players to spend a bar of V-Gauge to perform an invincible backdash, much like that ofStreet Fighter IV.
