Ready to get back into the fight with the world’s best and most iconic (not to mention frequently scantily clad) combatants? Part five in what is probably the most well-known fighting game series finally arrives, kicking off with 16 starting characters.
We’ll be going through all of them, teaching you how to master each Street Fighter V character moves list from beginning to end — starting here with Birdie, Cammy, and Chun Li.
While fighting in a match, the red v-meter at the top of the screen controls whether you can execute v-trigger and v-reversal skills. The blue critical gauge at the bottom controls when you can use special moves and the critical art finishing move.
Note that the commands listed below assume you are facing towards the right. If you are facing left, reverse the movement in the combo.
