Street Fighter V Winter Update Stream Showcases Rose & Dan’s Movesets
The latest Capcom stream showcases new Street Fighter V updates, most notable two new characters from the Season 5 pass and a new battle mechanic. Let’s break it down:
The Italian magic gypsy makes a return in Street Fighter V as Menat’s boss. She retains most of her Soul powers from past Street Fighter games, though with some updates:
We now get to see more of the Saikyo master’s moves and usefulness.
Because a lot of people complained about how defensive options in SFV are limited, the developers are bringing in V-Shift. This new skill is a special backdash that consumes V-Gauge. You cannot throw or hit an opponent while he/she is in a V-Shift invincible state. If an opponent lands a wake-up attack or anything similar when V-Shift is activated, this initiates a slow-motion bit with both fighters and make the activating character invincible AND able to pull off a unique V-Shift-Break attack that homes in onto the opponent.
This attack will knock them down, put some distance between them, and puts the activator in an advantageous state, meaning your opponent cannot quick rise from the attack. While this is a much-needed defensive option that’s arguably superior to V-Reversals, this move can also be baited by high-player players, much like how a Guilty Gear/Blazblue Burst can be baited.
Capcom also announced a Premium Pass & Character Pass. The former costs US$39.99 (with more stuff + character Season 5 Pass)) while the latter costs US$24.99 (with less stuff, but still the Season 5 character pass). To alleviate fan’s concerns, Eleven is going to be a bonus character in the Season 5 pass; he’s basically a random select character, mimicking a random fighter in the roster while retaining its creepy white colour scheme. Which means that final SFV character slot is still unannounced.
But enough about that: check out these new Premium costumes, including the return of Cammy’s doll outfit.
Street Fighter V‘s Season 5 update will start off with Dan and the V-Shift mechanic, which is due 22nd February. That’s this month, so let’s hope to see an influx of SF players coming in in Southeast Asia later this month.
Needless to say, a lot of fighting game folks are intrigued with the upcoming update and battle system additions. Top SFV player Punk said that while he’s happy with the update, this may make Dhalsim a top-tier character in Season 5. He plays Karin, FYI.
Smh I’m happy about the update but damn that V-Shift made sim from top 5 to top 1 smh. I thought I was happy but it’s just sadness.

Southeast Asian Street Fighter champ RZR|Xian said that players will need to relearn everything about the game now that 50/50 situations are manageable with V-Shifts.

Meanwhile, NVD Phenom is bummed out that there still isn’t new costume for Necalli.
1584 days since Necalli got a new costume https://t.co/RcqXFIi5zl

Here are more insights from the best in the FGC.
Capcom super delivered in today’s stream…
You got me back playing SFV now when all the new stuff comes out
— Justin Wong (@JWonggg) February 11, 2021
V-Shift is definitely going to add a huge dynamic element to the game and have tons of more "what's going to happen" situations à la UMvC3 dhc battles…
I hope it doesn't become super degenerate or too rewarding for some characters but it will be an interesting journey

It looks like even if your opponent does V-shift on your normal you can still cancel that normal into other special moves or V-trigger to make yourself safe possibly. I think there's going to be so many new mind games with this new mechanic. I'm excited!!! pic.twitter.com/3mhhZgz4dg
