Street Fighter V/Urien/Strategy

V-System

V-Reversal

A basic strike attack, Urien punches forward knocking his opponent away.

V-Skill 1

Urien's V-Skill 1 gives him 1 hit of armor on all his special moves except his fireball. This is most useful for his headbutt and tackle going through projectiles or longer ranged pokes.

V-Skill 2

Urien's V-Skill 2 enhances his next fireball, giving it more hits and better frame data on both hit and block. It's a very simple yet effective V-Skill, and is the go to choice for most matchups.

V-Trigger 1

Urien's V-Trigger 1 is a 3 bar called Aegis Reflector. When initially activated Urien places a mirror on screen depending on what direction was being held; 5HP+HK places far away, 4HP+HK places close, and 2HP+HK places slightly above and in front of his head. After the initial activation, he gets access to 1 more mirror in the same way, however without the time stop caused by activating V-Trigger. Each mirror can cause 3 hits, and reflects any projectile including CAs. While there are some situations you want to activate on its own such as if Ryu does his CA from full screen to reflect it back at him, most of the time you are looking to cancel into it off of 2MK, 5MK, 2LK 2LK, or similar type moves. This then allows enough advantage to setup some nasty setups. Because of the changes in S3 where canceling into V-Trigger causes much larger combo scaling, these setups are much more important to learn versus going for pure damage (the go-to damage is far V-Trigger Cancel, MP, HP, 2MP, 2HP xx HP Fireball, HK Tackle or similar depending on distance bouncing them off the mirror between hits). While it's possible to play Urien without learning Aegis setups, doing so will greatly increase your damage output and allow you to steal rounds from the claws of defeat.

V-Trigger 2

Urien's V-Trigger 2 is a 2 bar called Tyrant Pressure. By holding HP+HK Urien will go into a stance that gives him 1 hit of armor; after releasing it Urien charges forward doing 2 tackles knocking the opponent airborne allowing 6MP, LK or EX Tackle afterwards, and on block is only -2 meaning it is safe except against Zangief CA. When fully charged Urien does 4 tackles the first of which guard breaks on block or knocks up higher allowing for more damaging combos. He can also cancel into this from this about any move, including crMK making that much scarier in neutral as it leads to big damage. If he has V-Skill 1 on, Urien will gain an additional hit of armor while he is charging forward. Because it gives him armor it can be used almost like a parry, absorbing an attack then releasing for big damage and corner carry. It also increases its speed and juggle ability making standing MK a new powerful poking tool. This trigger is much easier to use than Aegis Reflector and still effective; against opponents who are used to it though it loses some of that as they know what to look out for and will often go for more throws and canceling normals into specials to beat the armor.
