Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition

PlayStation 4™ – US, EU, JAPAN & ASIA

Hi, Street Fighter lovers out there. Capcom will release another DLC character for Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition this June 26. He will be the new mayor of Metro City. And he is ready to kick butts. Are you ready to meet Cody Travers?

He might’ve served some of his time behind bars. But look at him now, he is the new mayor of Metro City is ready to fight. His first appearance in the Street Fighter series was in Street Fighter Alpha 3. He’s a reckless guy back then. Thus, he’s always behind bars. He broke out of prison in Street Fighter IV to search for his cure. But he returned to prison. In Street Fight V: Arcade Edition, his life changes as Mike Haggar discharges his crime and become the new mayor of Metro City.

Take a look at his trailer below.

Also, ake a look also at Mike Haggar’s letter to Cody in Street Fighter’s official Twitter account.

Gameplay

Here’s the overview of his gameplay, thanks to Capcom.

V-Skill – Double Kick
A move from Final Fight, Cody quickly jumps straight up and performs two kicks in the air to both sides. Double Kick can be used as an effective anti-air and in certain situations, it can also end a combo.
V-Trigger I – Sidearm
In this two-block V-Trigger, Cody pulls out his signature knife. Sidearm increases the range on Cody’s normal punches, which also become safer on block while he’s holding the knife. He can also throw the knife by pressing HP+HK again straight at the opponent or at an upwards angle as an anti-air. After throwing the knife, Cody can then pull out his knife again by pressing HP+HK while V-Trigger I is active.
Cody also gains the Rapid Fire special move, which sees him slashing multiple times and is a great combo ender. Even if V-Trigger I’s duration ends, if Cody is still holding the knife, he’ll continue holding on to it until he either throws it or hits the opponent – even on block.
V-Trigger II – Dirty Coach
In this two-block V-Trigger, Cody is armed with his trusty pipe. With the pipe in hand, the range on Cody’s HPs are drastically increased. He also channels his inner baseball player and gains Gentle Swing by pressing HP+HK again or Gentle Upper Swing, the anti-air version.
If you’re wondering where Cody’s rocks went, they’re implemented into this V-Trigger! During V-Trigger II, Cody can use Bean Ball, which sees him tossing a rock in front of him. Though the rock has a hitbox if tossed on its own, Cody can follow up by hitting it with Gentle Swing with varying results. Depending on the timing, the rock will either hit the opponent from the air at a slight arc, smash straight into the opponent for multiple hits, or roll towards the opponent’s feet. Furthermore, if Cody follows up with Gentle Upper Swing, the rock will go flying off screen and eventually land a set distance depending on the punch button that was used.
Though Cody does lose access to Tornado Sweep with the pipe in hand, he does gain the ability to cancel some of his special moves into Gentle Swing. Much like the knife, Cody will hold on to the pipe after V-Trigger II ends until he hits the opponent with it – even on block.
Critical Art – Criminal Punisher
Cody harnesses his past behind bars and unleashes a devastating tornado reminiscent of Criminal Upper from previous games.
