@@michaelmccoy1794 well, checkout the Shadaloo CRI page, in character data go to Kage/Costumes and a shadaloo soldier makes a comment about the colour 15 wich its just lile oni
As someone who loves playing Kage, I'm super hype! Especially with the forced stand on the fw HP >HK, it was really annoying before. Thanks for the awesome video HiFight!
@@minuano2ndtrueancestor865 its not for style only. It's great for finishing off opponents. Blowing all your vtrigger for almost guaranteed 275 damage is worth it if that's what you want your v trigger for.
as someone who is new to the game this helped me alot please make a full guide for the character going through his best normals,etc it will really help us alot
@@andrew6179 I am not saying he didn't, i am just saying that the buffs are definitely crazy good. This can very well mean that Kage goes from the bottom of the roster to the top easily.
ikaruga24 I believe you, it wasn‘t meant like that, I‘m genuinly happy for the character not getting ignored like for example ryu did for 3 seasons, if you know what I mean
Stealth buff his instant air ex tatsu hurt box. In the past if you did his target combo you couldn't land instant air ex tatsu on everyone. Just the tell ones. Previous version you needed counter hit for the higher bounce and that messed up the timing. Now you can target combo, instant ex air tatsu x3 and do a regular instant air tatsu, teleport twice for no good reason and fall with another tatsu. Can't wait to land this online.
What do you think is his most impactful change? The crouching forward being hit confirmable has taken his game up to Karin levels imo. The fact that you can cancel that into medium tastu or ex hadoken as well means you can do a lot of damage midscreen. Also his VT1 and VS2 combo does insane damage. All he's gotten are good buffs. I think we'll see some Kage in tournaments. Uncle Valle must be happy.
its not absolute garbage considering the character ryu is, if u get the special parry version u can trigger cancel into a clean DP+CA for a surprising amount of damage.
He's still weak in comparison to the rest of the cast, he needed more buffs, less startup lag and endlag in his pokes and more health should do the trick
They pretty much fixed all his non archetype issues. He is a shoto with stubby limbs he will never get Chun-Li normal and the non red fireballs never travel full screen His longer buttons finally correctly connect and forcing standing, his meterless and 1-2 bar conversions are actually rewarding. They give him reasonable ways to get oki (don't forget that he shit outs damage and has insane mixup potential) Also with the crMK hitbox + ex fireball changes (+2OB instead of -2) they gave him some since autoshimmy for generating very strong pressure. His new V-skill is actually very strong (the VT1 version is borderline broken tbh) they buffed his air conversion from VT1 and outside of VT1, he has way better and real air game than Rashid. And they actually buffed his health too (I would gladly traded for 25 less health and stun for all these changes but they gave him additional 25 instead) .
@@deonbekende he feels more like an all in chips on the table character but the buffs definitely give more of a reward than a risk comparatively before...
In short: We no longer can make fun of Kage or compare his fireball to Dan's.
HIS POWER...
*MOVES WORLDS*
RIP Oni
I miss my main :'(
IDK... when kage released, i swore his SF5 arcade ladder ending seemed to imply that oni was coming. Perhaps it was just wishful thinking?
@@michaelmccoy1794 I thought the same, but I'm confident in the assessment that Seth is the last character we're going to see for SFV.

Congratulations! Your Kage has evolved into Shin Evil Ryu!
Not yet... He is still weak
@@marcos13r he's not weak at all. He's Top Tier now. Look at the japanese Top Players Tier list.
@@kakkoishonen you absolutely right.
@Sweet Mango hes clearly trolling.
I got so used to the air teleport being backwards and now I have to rebuild muscle memory 😞
man that happened to me too, It was kinda funny but the tricks is to actually let go of the stick everytime before the teleport
As someone who loves playing Kage, I'm super hype! Especially with the forced stand on the fw HP >HK, it was really annoying before. Thanks for the awesome video HiFight!
6:33 Absolutely disgusting. And fair since this consumes V-Meter unlike a certain other character...
I mean that V-Trigger meant to be stylist and combo at the same time, so Im ok with it
I agree. When I saw Rashid's VS2, instantly I thought this should be VT only.

Alright, now the right input to the Teleport setup is reversed and I more confused than before.
R.I.P Evil Dan
That target combo is quite good now and VSkill 2 combined with V-Trigger 1 is definitely the load out to choose
@ no.it gives it a new property which is very strong.
That was very informative!! I was thinking of learning Kage and that tutorial convinced me to give him a try
Best Season 5 changes video out so far. Good shit man!!
SO helpful, thank you so much for making this!
Kage finally becomes a real boy instead of being a weird Akuma/Karin frankenstein.
Damn! Awesome video man. You make it so easy for noobs like me to understand everything
Thanks!
point blank he can do counter hit cr lp > cr mp > st mp > ex hadoken on crouching opponents. Against standing opponents the st mp will whiff.
Amazing buffs
thanks for you work :)
Great info!! more buffs please!! (R.Mira) :D
Thank you this video is awesome
Kage looking strong
To not only fuse ryu and akuma, next it'll be Ken in with the both of them in one character 🤯
Great video! Do it for all the cast please.
Jesus these are some insane buffs.
ikaruga24 he did need the tbh, glad they actually gave a f*** about the char lol

@@ikaruga24 i think that the fact that he wont get picked up by many ppl after THIS BUFFS just goes to show how fucking terrible he was.
Good stuff bro
What's this, a low tier is now better and viable? Not fair now they can compete with my high tier Karin! ._.
In a nutshell: *DON'T F*CK WITH HIM*

End of sfiv all over again ? Everyone started using Evil Ryu back then
Only Sako seems to have plans to use Kage full time from what I've seen. Many consider Urien, Rashid, G, and others better still.
G is broken, rashid just as good. I think theres more people going back to ryu than giving kage a chance.
4:42 those air jungles though 6:33 that's confusing as hell
Good
So kage vt1 vs2 vs rashid vt1 vs2 will be a mvc like match, half on ground rest in air.
Es una belleza
Kage get serious
@hifight can you do the same for Urien ? It's so well donne, i wish i can have one for him please ! (i don't know how to call name on yt so i do @)
Only comment would be that you probably better off don't 2lp ch, 2mp ex tatsu for consistency.. 2mp xx ex fb from all ranges
I had to dislike only because I dont like the fact that this video will make players bandwagon to Kage. This patch is for the Season 4 Kage mains. 😂
Werd 😂 since day 1
Been rockin with kage since back when he was known as evil ryu lol.
do Vega.... whats that, they shit on Vega again.... thanks Capcom
Meanwhile ryu got a crappy v skill 2😒

Kages mixups are lame
he still isnt good lol...

Great format do more!
