Fighting Game Garbage: Oro's V-Trigger 1 (SFV)

Today we're taking a look at one of Street Fighter V's most irrelevant V-Triggers, Oro's VT1!
People know Oro's VT2 inside and out, as it's one of the best V-Triggers in the game, but there's a very good reason you almost never hear about his other V-Trigger.

[@iang0th]

I wouldn't be surprised if VT1 is bad on purpose. I mean, they would have known from the beginning that everyone was going to want to use Tengu Stone, since it's such an iconic part of the character, and it was naturally going to be a V-Trigger, so having the other V-Trigger turn out stronger would actually be a big disappointment for a lot of people.

[@supernebula101]

That's one of my biggest gripes with the V-System as a whole. I mean, how many times have you seen a VT2 Urien? I wonder if the second V-Trigger was planned during development, because it feels like a lot of characters had cool unique aspects shoved into the V-System, and then when they had to add a second one, they didn't really know what to do

[@DemonBlanka]

@@supernebula101 This design made more sense when there was only 1 trigger per character, look at how janky and retrofitted Necalli's 2 triggers are, Capcom really didn't have good ideas for 2 triggers for every character, there's so many generic "More juggle/hits" install triggers. It's just funny that they did this shit again after they'd already committed to two triggers per character.

[@OccuredJakub12]

I know they called it the final update but it'd be cool if VT1 had these buffs: - you can extend the grounded throw for more damage at the cost of draining the whole meter - both versions leave the enemy in hard knockdown and much closer to Oro - you can cancel his jumpkicks into the air throw - you can cancel any tatsu into the VT1 activation - while in VT1, you can use his DPs without charging! This will however drain 1/4th of the bar. - the activation is just as fast as VT2

[@BigYellowSilly]

I think it'd also be cool if it buffed his hitgrab, maybe just an extra 20 damage or something

[@Ghaust8546]

The first one seems interesting but since i think capcom gave it bad range because of the command side of it, i would make it so it has way more range specifically when you cancel into it instead of draining the whole meter

10:46 - "It does require meter and charge but honestly it's not that bad." So long as we overlook that the scaling reduced the VT grab at the end of the combo to doing only 16 damage.

[@BigYellowSilly]

Yeah the scalling is disgusting lmao but in fairness the combo has so much corner carry there's probably not much need to do that for the better oki

[@BossMan-ly1ir]

I think one of the main issues about this V-Trigger for me is that it just isn't that interesting, I'm no Oro main, but the way V-Trigger 2 affects his combos, his neutral, and his pressure, as well as the bit of RNG that rewards you for being situationally aware is just so much more fun and interesting than a grab that only acts as a combo ender/mixup tool, and even V-Trigger 2 has cooler mixups with things like ambiguous chicken leg set ups.

[@BroskiFGC]

Great video. Also worth mentioning as shown at 12:16 a LOT of Oro's VT1 BNBs heavily rely on being able to do forward MP into HP DP with 100% consistency, which is an extremely high execution requirement just to get a basic ender into a knockdown with meh oki. Other than maybe Prophet on hitbox I don't know any Oro players that can hit that 100% of the time starting from a spaced EX tatsu.

[@BigYellowSilly]

That's a very good point, like that took me a good few tries and it never clicked with me that you really HAVE to do that to make the most of VT1

[@pociksasiskin7285]

I've seen Brian do f.mp into DP pretty regulary. Also not to brag, but I can do f.mp into dp from EX tatsu very consistently. I find it very wild that people have trouble with that cancel, considering that I still can't do ex fireball loops in the corner.

[@kevingriffith6011]

I legitimately tried to find some edge case where VT1 had a purpose, and there's just nothing there. Like, it's better at opening people up than VT2, but you only need to hurry to open people up *because* you have VT2. It doesn't scoop anti-airs, you can't cancel your air normals into it... Like, all they'd have to do with this V-trigger to instantly triple the fun factor of it would be to change how the air grab works. Instead of him swinging his arm, make him tumble in a direction, turning whiffing this button into a *third* jump. Make the tumble 8 directional and you've got a stew going. Imagine being able to jump toward your opponent, double jump back and then immediately down+forward tumble to get back to the ground in front of them before their anti-air is done. That's insanely strong, but I still don't think tengu stone strong.

[@BigYellowSilly]

There's also the fact that VT2 gives you several completely safe opportunities to open someone up, VT1 gives you one big chance that can cost you big time if they jump, and it even completely ends your pressure

[@krullachief669]

[@BigYellowSilly]

Oro is super well animated imo they did a great job

[@ManlyPlant]

That last point you made is actually a super interesting one. Oro's trigger's might be the biggest gap in levels of power, the only others I could see being this are triggers before this update like Akuma's. The only other one I could *maybe* see an argument for is Urien but only *maybe* because tackles are still really dumb.

[@BigYellowSilly]

I think pre-patch Laura was also a contender for the biggest gap in power between her triggers, but unlike Oro VT1 Laura VT2 actually got very significant buffs in the final update

[@ManlyPlant]

Yea thats also a pretty notable one granted this patch as a whole did quite a bit to fix a lot of more mediocre triggers. (Nash VT2 can actually be consistent in the corner now wow)

[@Neogears1312]

Even ignoring tengu stones being incredible as per usual, I think probably the biggest issue is the grab just ends what you’re doing right then and their for the only benefit of being a bit easier. It’s like Alex’s vt2 where ignoring that it gives him a low confirm now, Alex’s vt1 gave incredible utility and let you keep momentum going while Alex’s vt2 gave…some good damage…a grab… and a kinda cool animation that was a throwback to a terrible move in third strike, which funny enough is exactly what oro vt1 does too. I think if it at least did a good amount of stun or gave oro access to something big he was missing like Alex getting a cMK low canceling into a special now it’d probably be good but especially considering how amazing tengu stone is no one would realistically pick it even if you weren’t that great with tengu stone because it’s not that hard to get some ok damage off it.

[@budafuka]

At least they buffed the shit out Alex VT2 so it's a reasonable choice for some matchups. Oro's is just completely worthless. Even Urien VT2 is league's beyond by comparison even though you would still never pick it. Maybe that's why they didn't bother.

[@Neogears1312]

@@budafuka the weird thing though is with urien there’s self awareness; Aegis IS the selling point. It’s uriens SPD, his rekkaken, his genei jin. If you’re playing THIS character over ANY OTHER, your only reason was because of aegis. It is the sole defining move of urien where scrubs often argue Urien basically shouldn’t function at anything because he’s allowed to have it, it’s that defining of an ability. By not giving vt2 a fair chance it at least comes off that capcom we’re aware of this and if yun was in V he’d get similar treatment if genei jin was made before vt2s existed. It’s probably be You Hou but kinda mediocre because they only made a vt2 out of obligation. But Tengu stone wasn’t why you played oro. At least in 3 it wasn’t. He had another usually more popular super. Arguably even then the unblockable wasn’t the reason you played him. It was chicken combos that motivate you to play him and that’s not only still big, it also works really well with vt1. The multi slam was arguably just as popular as any other super in 3 regardless of it sucking. It seems so weird to just dunk on it so universally for no real justifiable reason.

[@KeshavKrishnan]

Alex vt2 gives you oki off of any opening, one of the things alex lacked. Thr low confirm helps you stop people walking back between buttons, helping enforce strike throw

[@budafuka]

@@KeshavKrishnan It does that now. When it launched, he couldn't even combo DDT from c.mk. The only thing it offered over VT1 was a meterless knockdown from a light confirm. It got buffed in a mid season patch to actually function properly. Even now, with all the direct and indirect buffs to VT1, it's harder to consider picking it in this season outside of a couple of matchups.

[@pociksasiskin7285]

You can triple VT1 damage and increase range several times, and still people will take Tengu, just because its Tengu. I think they just didn't bother making VT1 good because they knew that Tengu is the king.

[@aadaaadasda9979]

It reminds me of G's first iteration of VT2 where there was no point in using it whatsoever, and for it to become good, it took them to buff it for like 3 patches in the row (aside from nerfing grab damage) while simultaneously heavily nerfing vt1. In Oro's case, they had one patch left but didn't buff vt1 pretty much at all and didn't nerf vt2, so of course nobody gonna use the former. It's almost like they decided not even bother/waste time on it at all, since people would always pick vt2 just like they always pick aegis on Urien.

[@nixuniverse5240]

His VT1 is mostly like Menat’s VT2. There for players who aren’t confident enough to use their more technical VT’s so they go with the easier ones for easy consistent damage.

[@kevingriffith6011]

Except you don't even need that. You can still get solid Vt2 damage by going F.MP (x5) into your choice of combo ender. VT2 is as complicated as you want to make it.

[@Sorrelhas]

VT2 for Oro is literally perfect You can go for sick confirms and crazy pickups, or just mash like an idiot It's a great VT in all skill levels

[@JardsonJean]

@@kevingriffith6011 that is, if they manage to get in after activation. If a low level player just keeps mashing after activation, this vtrigger is pretty quick to drain and thats 3 bars down the drain. Honestly, VT1 is comparably bad to VT2, but it's not the worst at all in this game.

On top of oki my biggest beef with the command grab is no autonomy over which way you throw the enemy. It would be really nice if you could decide to throw them close (for oki) or far (for setups) and which side you throw them on. On top of that if you could cancel the throw into VS1 then you could get some nasty shmix going with the command grab. And v shifts still exist so I don’t even feel like that would be too overpowered.

[@flare6255]

I played against so many Oros when he first came out whose only gameplan was VT1 EXDPs.

[@mr.g-force5563]

Ok but consider this; the air grab animation is funni tho. A 140 year old yellow goblin man tackles you to the ground, stomps on you like you were a bucket of grapes, and then kneels on you to pray to Jesus. All while balancing a turtle on his head. On a more serious note, I feel like the devs may have designed themselves into a corner when they made Tengu Stone a Trigger. I mean, it was practically tailor-made to be one of his two triggers so they didn't really have a choice, but Tengu Stone is just so strong by nature that anything that is competing with it would have to work overtime to even have a chance of pulling even with it. Like, even if you gave the grabs more range, increased the damage of them and lightened the damage scaling, and hell, even gave them Cody VT2 command grab levels of oki, I STILL think Tengu Stone would be preferred nine times out of ten. It's just too good, and whatever was competing against it was doomed to fail from the start. Not the end of the world since nobody is forced to use bad V-Triggers or Skills, but it does kind of suck to see certain things go completely unused, even if the lack of use is justified. I don't know if I'd call this the game's worst trigger in a vacuum, but it's certainly the most outclassed when compared to its "sequel" trigger.

[@WraxTV]

It really does feel like Capcom is just deathly afraid of making any command grab too good. Or even just good, period.

[@MusicoftheDamned]

Yeah, this is definitely the _Street Fighter_ game of nerfed command grabs, which will probably carry into _SF6_ too given Capcom went out of its way to make sure there weren't any frame 1 grabs anymore. IIRC every non-normal grab is frame 5 at least, which makes it a bit funny how Laura still managed to dominate any Season with what was essentially a throw vortex despite that.

[@Neogears1312]

@@MusicoftheDamned tbf capcom has always been garbage at making command grabs. There’s a reason people think kof grapplers are cheap or gimmicks when transitioning to that series because they actually considered making it a real tool and grapplers actual characters instead of “lets make character who only gud at point blank and is terrible at getting in! No combos just 3 grabs that all do the same thing !”

[@MusicoftheDamned]

@@Neogears1312 As someone who has also played _KOF_ games for a while, I think it's a _bit_ more complex than that even as much as I tend to rake current Capcom over the coals. I think the biggest difference is merely that _KOF_'s system mechanics are just _*_far_*_ more friendly to grapplers since it gives them far more ways to get in like it does basically ever other character. After all, they can hyper jump in, short hop in, roll in, and, unless they're Tizoc, even run in. Meanwhile _SF_ characters are basically stuck jumping with one predictable jump arc in most games. All this before the fact that basically all _KOF_ special and super grabs can be comboed into, which I admittedly still don't know how to feel about even if that mechanic isn't broken obviously. On the flip side, I would argue that _KOF_ is pretty terrible at making good zoners more often than not since they're either oppressive or just flat out suck with no real in-between. The most consistently decent one has been like Athena over the years, and even she can be oppressive in some games. It would be nice if Capcom did have more grapplers who weren't huge and/or slow targets, but that wouldn't fix the problems that Zangief, T. Hawk, and other big body grapplers tend to face in its games. Shrug.

I love the fact that his stones have an RNG element to it and wish other characters had it: - Cody's VTs: -- VT1, Army Knife, Combat knife, Tanto -- VT2 Pipe, Barbed wire baseball bat, Crowbar Abigail's VS2: the regular tire, monster truck tire, a stone wheel Rose's VS2 and Menat's VT1: Different properties on the satelites, burn, freeze, stun, poison Menat's VT2, random percentage all orbs will have a property Like if you agree and lets tweet these ideas to Capcom, maybe they'll be able to do a "DEFINITIVE DEFINIFITE" Update

[@herpydepth3849]

Ah… the disappointing younger sibling

[@DarkTree]

yeah but it's cool. the heavy mob cemetery-esque super grab that is entirely impractical but funny being missing is its only downside

[@beircheartaghaistin2332]

That poor tortoise must be awfully dizzy

[@andrewroes7942]

Yeah I still have no idea what they were going for with it. It feels to me like they were trying to go for ease of use on a vtrigger considering how complex vt2 combos are but like... you can just spam f.mp after activation and you'll still get way more damage than vt1 could ever get you, it's probably one of the most beginner friendly vtriggers lmao

[@SadToffee]

How do you have all the heavy lines? It looks so good.

[@realchezboi]

Cel-Shading? Go into settings

[@Ryusuta]

Let's be honest... the main problem with VT1 for Oro is simply that it's not VT2. Tengu Stone is such an absurdly good tool in this guy's kit that giving it up is like using one of Yun's other super arts in Third Strike... It can get the job done, but why bother?

[@myboy_]

Cel shader looks really good on oro

[@isuckatgaming1873]

Bre I can't believe they pushed him away from the corner

[@HollyBunnySilly]

I'm actually not very familiar with most V-Triggers. Probably because the game doesn't explain their effects most of the time, and I can't find a solid resource about what they do. The Shoryuken wiki for SFV is abandoned, so is there a better and more updated resource? Please let me know.

[@BigYellowSilly]

Man I wish I had a good answer for that tbh, FAT is ideal for frame data and such but when it comes to detailing the use of moves I'm honestly not sure where to look off the top of my head.

[@prof.laytonfan764]

Bafael explains the vtriggers in his videos, although most of them are outdated because of sfv patches over the years.

[@HollyBunnySilly]

@@BigYellowSilly That really sucks. I've been trying to get into Urien, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what VS1 does to his moves. When I can't make a personal choice between the two V-Skills, I freeze up.

[@BigYellowSilly]

@@HollyBunnySilly Well it is mostly for frame data, but FAT does tell you about the properties of moves too, VS1 gives him one hit of armor on all his specials except for fireball

[@Neogears1312]

@@HollyBunnySilly I’d say your lucky urien’s vs2 is generally better and easier to figure out and just buffs his projectile to be a neutral menace.

[@Kanzuki]

Just know there's one seriously dedicated VT1 Oro player out there

[@Neogears1312]

Sick thumbnail btw.

[@deletedTestimony]

So glad they brought back Homer Simpson from third strike

[@BigYellowSilly]

"But Meeeeeerge he's mashing when I'm plus "

[@jchadwick4918]

ok, but he puts the tortoise on his head man

[@poopman7239]

It’s funny to think that in 3rd strike, his two good supers are boogers and tengu stones. And in SF5, his good v skill is boogers and (oddly named VT2 even though Oro only has one VT🙄) tengu stones

[@andreadicastro8525]

I would love it if you could do the next fighting game garbage about a character in guilty gear xrd, especially bedman, since he became probably the worst character in the game in rev 2, when he was much better in revelator, they basically gutted him, and i would love it if you could talk about him, i love the way you explain all of this stuff, and i mained that character despite him being so bad, this just to show how well balanced xrd is, so im sure itll be incredibly interesting to see what you have to say about bedman!! Loved this video btw, you are great!

[@BigYellowSilly]

Maybe in the future it'd be fun to do a Rev 2 vid, I've actually done one before but it was ages ago and so awful I just got rid of it, so it'd be nice to do an actually good one

[@andreadicastro8525]

@@BigYellowSilly happy to hear that, perhaps if the video ends up going really well, you could do even more vids about it, after all theres a lot of garbage in that game, i think using bedman as an example you could easily use his second super, hemi jack, that thing its hot garbage lmao, so it would give a new whole game to use for vids, i hope they end up doing well!

[@Manglet762]

"Low tier" doesn't mean Bad, especially in Guilty Gear.

[@itanocircus2106]

What kind of graphical filter is being used here? It looks great

[@BigYellowSilly]

Cel shading filter added in SFVs last update, offline only but it looks great imo

[@roarkviolet1912]

Well for most people, learning how to swim for their driving license would be a bad idea.... But consider this, it is a non-zero chance that my brain could blue screen ( happened 4 times last year) resulting in me driving a car into the ocean or one of the many rivers nearby where i live, it lasts about 20-30 seconds before i regain motor and brain functions, therefore learning how to swim could be the difference between being a cool but morbid fish tank prop or riding public transport for the rest of my natural life. By this logic i deem oro's v-trigger 1... Still garbage.

[@PomadaGaming]

12:33 that’s pretty hilarious

[@gameoverdude2249]

I haven't played this game in a while... what skins are you using to make them have that awesome classic style 😳??? Plsssssss don't tell me that it's a pc mod 😭😭😭

[@BigYellowSilly]

Nope! This is in vanilla SFV as a filter but can only be used offline

[@gameoverdude2249]

@@BigYellowSilly 😭😭😭

[@Puffufuf]

2:58 Wow, he almost got the average damage of a Strive combo

[@dextra_24703]

I always thought those grabs were one of his V-Skills

[@21leowheeler]

i think i cool thing they could have done is made the vt 1 into a vs1, and then buffed vs1 in startup and damage but made it a v trigger.

[@afrolegend12]

This is my favorite Series.
