V-Shift:
V-Shift is a defensive mechanic that consumes one stock of V-Gauge to parry an attack and distance yourself from the opponent. By pressing MK+HP again (or continue to hold the input) during the action after a successful parry, you can perform a counterattack known as a VShift Break. A V-Shift can be performed at any time as long as the character is on the
ground and able to move freely. This is one way in which the mechanics differs greatly from V-Reversals. Additionally, V-Reversals always restore stun on activation, whether on hit or block. However, V-Shifts do not guarantee a set effect. Whether or not the parry is successful and the effect is triggered depends on the opponent’s move the timing of the V-Shift, etc., meaning player judgment is needed to maximize its utility. Though it’s a somewhat difficult system to master, it provides players with a defensive option against attacks/combos that are hard to counter. For more on V-Shifts, please see the in-game demonstrations and the frame data at the Shadaloo Combat Research Institute.
Combo Count Display:
Henceforth “combo count” will be divided into three types: “combo-count start value”, “combo count gain”, and “combo count limit”. Air combos in Street Fighter V are organized into these three types of combo count; their details are as follows.
- Combo-Count Start Value:
The numerical value used to indicate when an air combo starts from a particular move. The smaller this value is, the easier it to begin an air combo from that move, and vice versa. - Combo Count Gain:
The numerical value added when a move is incorporated into an air combo. The smaller the combo count gain is, the easier it is to continue the combo, vice versa. - Combo Count Limit:
A numerical value used to determine up to when a move can land in an air combo. The larger the limit, the easier it is to incorporate into a combo.
