Capcom has unleashed some new details about Street Fighter V’s brand new fighting system.
Ditching the focus attacks and ultra combos of old, this latest iteration introduces V-Triggers and V-Skills.
The trailer focuses on series stalwart Ryu, and showcases his new V-Skill ability, the Mind’s Eye, which enables him to parry attacks and projectiles thrown at him.
Capcom explains more:
“Ever played Street Fighter III? Ryu takes the legendary mechanic from 3rd Strike and makes it his own. Chun-Li can use her Rankyaku to jump forward at a lower trajectory while M. Bison can use his Psycho Reflect to snatch a fireball out of the air before propelling it back at double speed.
All V-Skills are free to use without dipping into your V-Gauge, but if you really want to turn the tide of battle, the new V-Trigger system pushes your character to the limits of their martial prowess.
The hallmark of the V-Trigger system is that it gives each character a more distinguished fighting style, and it is easily activated by pressing the heavy buttons together once the V-Gauge is full.”

Street Fighter V is due for release in March 2016, with more details and footage being prepped for E3 2015 next week.
