It’s no shock that Capcom’s help for Street Fighter V isn’t over, however I’m a bit shocked that its fourth season of recent characters has already begun with new fighter Kage. Available now, this offended lad (his title actually translating to “Shadow”) is just about a beefed up model of previous palette-swap villain Evil Ryu. Now apparently cosplaying as a secondary character from Homestuck, or – extra possible – some type of Oni, Kage is a teleporting, air-dashing, punchier and usually meaner tackle Ryu’s acquainted fashion. Give him a peek within the debut trailer and breakdown vid beneath.
While he could share a personality mannequin with Ryu and a few strikes with Ryu, Ken and Akuma, Kage does appear like a contemporary character as soon as preventing actually begins. He’s an aggressive glass cannon sort, with V-triggers that open up the potential for absurd air combos that wouldn’t look misplaced in a Guilty Gear game. Lots of axe kicks, a number of huge meaty punches and his personal tackle Akuma’s iconic Raging Demon super-move. Sitting again and throwing fireballs doesn’t appear his factor, actually. Constant stress is his bread and butter, and his teleport sprint can go by way of projectiles.
No phrase on whether or not they’ll put daft ad-branding over his glowing again tattoo, but it surely appears doable. Capcom additionally launched a second video, going into element on Kage’s bag of methods:
Along with Kage’s shock launch, Capcom rolled out a honkin’ nice patch that rebalances each single character, and provides F.A.N.G., Vega, Chun-Li, Abigail and M. Bison some new methods. The full patch notes can be found here – as solely essentially the most informal of Street Fighter dabblers, I wouldn’t know the place to start choosing it aside, however there’s loads for extra aggressive gamers to chew on. Capcom will announce the remainder of their plans for Season four within the new 12 months, however for these desirous to get punching early, Kage is out there by himself now.
While there’s no season go for this new wave of stuff but, Kage is out there now in-game for $5/€6/$6 or 100,000 Fight Money. The patch notes are dwell here.
