Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition Falke Gameplay Trailer, Screens, Artwork, V-Trigger Details & Release Date

This morning, Capcom dropped a gameplay trailer for Falke, the newest character to join the Street Fighter series and the third DLC character for Season 3 of Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition. Check out Falke's reveal trailer along with her official character artwork, screenshots, and V-Trigger / playstyle details. Falke will join Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition as a DLC character on Tuesday, April 24th, 2018. [UPDATE] Added Falke introduction video & showcase stream archive video from Capcom Fighters.

Falke is a staff-wielding combatant nicknamed "The Guardian Hawk". She was heavily experimented on by Shadaloo and was forced to train to achieve perfection. Falke has the unique ability to infuse Psycho Power into objects and release it through them, mainly through her staff, which she named Harmony. She was built to be an alternative clone for M. Bison.

Years of harsh training went by, causing Falke to spiral deep into despair, wishing for it all to end. Finally, Ed came to her rescue and they both were able to escape Shadaloo. Now, the two have a sibling-like bond and are searching for others like them in need of help.

Falke utilizes her staff in battle to keep opponents at range, but it also serves as her conduit for Psycho Power. By holding down any punch button, Falke can charge up and store Psycho Power until the button is released in one of three different ways:

V-TRIGGER DETAILS

V-Skill: Psycho Trombe - Falke extends one arm and spins her staff in front of her. Psycho Trombe on its own can be cancelled into by a variety of normal moves and can also be used to absorb projectiles.

V-Trigger I: Staerken - In this two-block V-Trigger, Falke powers up her ability to infuse and release Psycho Power from her staff and will allow her to use additional versions of her special moves without needing to charge up in advance.

Pressing HP+HK again during this V-Trigger will cause Falke to use Psycho Shrot, a powered up version of Psycho Kugel that emits three bullets and travels further. Pressing down and HP+HK will see Falke using Psycho Panzer, a powered up version of Psycho Kanonen that deals more damage. Finally, pressing HP+HK in the air will cause Falke to use Psycho Jaeger, a stronger Psycho Feder that can ricochet off the ground. Psycho Shrot and Kanonen can be cancelled into each other and can leave the opponent prone to a Critical Art.

V-Trigger II: Psycho Angriff - In this three-block V-Trigger, Falke increases her ability to utilize her staff in various ways. Upon activation, Falke will immediately twirl around hitting the opponent into the air, which she then follows up with a surge of Psycho Power.

Pressing HP+HK during this V-Trigger will result in Falke using Psycho Sturm, a sweeping hit with her staff that can be cancelled into to extend combos. Pressing down and HP+HK will see Falke using Psycho Klinge, where she jumps diagonally into the air before slamming her staff down on the opponent and can be followed up with normal moves. Falke’s V-Skill, Psycho Trombe, can also reflect projectiles during Psycho Angriff.

Finally, each of the new moves Falke gains during Psycho Angriff can be cancelled into from special moves like Psycho Schneide and Katapult, increasing her combo potential and damage.

Falke is available individually for $5.99 or 100,000 Fight Money and as part of the Street Fighter V Season 3 Character Pass for $29.99. Capcom Unity hinted that Cody will be the next character in line to be released.
