Forums - General Discussion - New SFV: Arcade Edition trailer shows off new mechanics

Nem on 19 November 2017

Ken's move there are the end was Shinryuken. That has always been a super/critical art. It would be bonkers if that was just the effect from the new v-trigger.

 

I wish the character leaks were true though. That would make me buy the game.

Looks good. If they're following last gen's trend, after an Arcade Edition there'll come an Ultra version so I'll keep waiting til then.

Well this is a free upgrade, and a potential Ultra version would be too. In that sense there's not really any point in waiting, right?

Well I thought with the original version, all updates are free but you'd still need to grind to unlock while this Arcade version everyone is already unlocked no?  If im correct then I dont mind waiting to the path of least resistance hehe but if im wrong then I might consider not waiting to buy :P

Oh yeah you're right. You get Season 1 and 2 characters (8 characters in total) unlocked if you buy Arcade Edition.

Then I shall wait :P

Isn't it 12 characters total?

It is indeed.
These ones specifically:

Akuma's my all time fav but I dislike his new lion's mane.  Did he train with lions or something I dont know about? lol

Yeah I hate that look.
At least there's a classic costume, but it's DLC.

That's good at least.  Whatever happened to the Oni version of Akuma?  Guess it's a one time thing?

Well the roster is growing with each season, so it's possible we may see Oni at a later date since he was a standalone character from Akuma in SF4.

I don't know how many people they'll end up with though, and considering all of the new characters I assume that Oni won't end up making the cut.
