Street Fighter 5 V-Trigger and V-Skill Mechanics Detailed, March Release Date Listed

Street Fighter V will be released in March 2016 and feature two new mechanics called V-Skill and V-Trigger.

Reporting information featured in UK film, game, and culture magazine Shortlist, fighting game website Eventhubs has states "Street Fighter V will be released in March 2016 on PS4 and PC."

Although Capcom has not yet officially announced a Street Fighter V release date, in its last earnings report it pointed to a broad "current fiscal year" period, which ends March 31, 2016.

This is the second time a spring 2016 release window has been indicated.

Continuing, the magazine explains new mechanics called "V-Trigger" and "V-Skill."

"[V-Trigger is] a special move unique to each character that can turn the tide of a fight," the magazine says. "And you'll need it. You can only unleash these after you've filled the V-Gauge, and you do that by taking damage."

Continuing, the publication breaks down another mechanic called "V-Skill," which is "a defensive move that can be used during the fight."

"Ryu's allows him to parry incoming attacks with ease. M. Bison's can reflect projectiles back at his opponent."

Two new stages, China and London's King's Cross train station, are also mentioned.

Street Fighter V was announced in December as a PS4 and PC exclusive. Capcom previously announced that it plans to run a public beta test that it claims will be the "largest and most ambitious online beta program in franchise history."

A date for the beta hasn't been shared, but we do know you can guarantee yourself access by pre-ordering the game.
