In her "Street Fighter V" incarnation, Ibuki's playstyle is different than in "Street Fighter IV", becoming a "resource-heavy" character. She has gained new special moves such as to dodge-teleport, glide (the "flying squirrel technique"), and throw bombs with different fuses, making her even more distracting and unpredictable. According to Capcom, "Ibuki has always been a very mobile character with various target combos, but she now has even more ways to mix-up the opponent with the ability to glide through the air and toss out ninja bombs, making it very difficult to predict where she will land and where her next attack will come from. Kunais have also been a cornerstone of her playstyle, but now players will have to be much more strategic in their use as she can only stock five at a time before she has to quickly obtain another set." Ibuki placed third in the 2016 EventHubs user poll for the best mix-up play ability in the game. Following the "nerfing" of Chun-Li in the Season 2 of "" in 2017, the enhanced Ibuki became the chosen character for a number of top professional players, including Ho Kun Xian (credited by Capcom with starting the "Ibuki revolution" so that "by late 2017 Ibuki is a pretty common character to see among high level play") and Atsushi Fujimura (who abandoned Nash).
