Rikudo Osatsu

Rikudo Osatsu (六道鏖殺 , Rikudō Ōsatsu, "Six Realms Grueling Murder"^?), is Kage's second V-Trigger in Street Fighter V.

Input

Street Fighter V	+

Description

Executed by pressing Heavy Punch and Heavy Kick simultaneously, Kage channels the Satsui no Hado within as widens his stance to amplify his offense. While this V-Trigger is active, he can perform the Misogi by pressing Heavy Punch and Heavy Kick on the ground or while airborne; where Kage teleports above the opponent and charges down on top of them with a punch. In addition, he can also perform the Shun Goku Satsu as his second Critical Art.

Tactics

Unlike his first V-Trigger, Rikudo Osatsu is 3-bars. This means that Kage needs to sacrifice at least half of his health bar or use his V-Skill several times in order to obtain this V-Trigger. While active, Kage gains access to Misogi. Even though this attack has significantly long startup, it inflicts good damage by itself. Misogi can also be canceled from any of his V-Trigger cancellable normals, unique attacks, or his Shoryuken on hit or block, making it a solid combo ender. Not only it results in a knockdown on hit, but Misogi can also hit the opponent while they are on the ground. This attack is also -2 on block, making it difficult for his opponent to punish.

While this V-Trigger is active, Kage also has access to an exclusive Critical Art, the infamous Shun Goku Satsu, by executing the trademark input. Against zoning characters, he can use this secondary Critical Art to pass through projectiles and attack his opponent while they're recovering. Doing so depletes his entire V-Gauge. However, unlike Akuma's Shun Goku Satsu, Kage's can be used in a combo by linking from his cancellable normals or his Light Ryusokyaku.

Trivia

• When the Shun Goku Satsu is used, Kage will say the V-Trigger's name.
