News - Street Fighter V : Alex und weitere Verbesserungen im März-Update

Capcom wird im März ein neues Update zu Street Fighter V veröffentlichen, das neben diversen Verbesserungen auch Alex als neuen Charakter beinhalten wird.

Via Capcom Unity veröffentlichte Capcom nun erste Details zum geplanten Patch, der im Übrigen noch nicht konkret datiert wurde. Der neue Charakter Alex kann abermals im Nahkampf großen Schaden anrichten und greift hierfür auf die Power Bomb zurück. Weitere Fertigkeiten können auf mittlere Entfernung eingesetzt werden.

Wer den Story-Modus genug zockt, kann sich Alex über die Ingame-Währung Fight Money nach dem Update sichern; der Einsatz von Echtgeld ist hierfür nicht notwendig.

Darüber hinaus wird der Patch auch neue Spielmodi, Inhalte, Bugfixes und Gameplay-Verbesserungen mit sich bringen. Diese sehen laut dem vorläufigen, englischsprachigen Patch-Log wie folgt aus:

Online Rematch Option

• Players can now play a 2/3 set in Ranked Match, provided both players accept the rematch.

Battle Lounge Improvements

• Enjoy up to 8 person lobbies, complete with match spectating.

Bug fixes

• Sometimes you don’t get EXP from casual matches
• On a rare occurrence, if you restart the game after you unlock colors, the colors you unlocked will disappear

Gameplay related bug fixes and balance changes

• Vega: If you hit V-Trigger Bloody Kiss (anti-air) in certain situations, Vega will no longer continue to rise off the top of the screen.
• M. Bison: If he is interrupted by an opponent’s V-Trigger or Critical Art during his invisible frames of Double Knee Press in V-Trigger mode, M. Bison will no longer remain invisible until his next move.
• Rashid: Will no longer float in the air for a moment if you perform his V-Trigger after he touches the ground upon a missed Eagle Spike.
• Chun-Li: During V-Trigger activation, the hit stop and block stop has been made the same for multi-hitting moves (medium or heavy attacks for both normal and special moves). She was previously able to perform option selects involving standing HP into Houyokusen, so this has been removed.

Vertical and Back Jump Frames

• All characters except Birdie and Zangief: Vertical jump and back jump frames have changed from 3f->4f.
• Birdie: Vertical jump and back jump frames have changed from 4f->5f.
• Zangief: No changes to jump frames.
• These changes reduce the effectiveness of throw tech option selects involving jumping (also known as “jump grab”). Changing forward jump frames would affect the game balance too much so those remain unchanged.

Throw Escape Change

• If you push buttons during the normal throw delayed tech window you are unable to escape throws for 2 frames.
• Prevents using light attacks to option select with throw escapes.
• If you execute specific special moves during the normal throw delayed tech window you are unable to immediately escape throws. Each characters V-skills, V-triggers, V-reversals, critical arts, and moves have been set individually.
• Prevents throw escape option selects involving specific moves such as Shoryuken, etc.
