Description
In the fighting games community, OCV stands for One-Character Victory. This term is used when a player manages to defeat an entire team of opponents using only one character without switching to other characters on their team. The alternative term 'Straight' is sometimes used to describe the same feat. Achieving an OCV is a significant accomplishment and showcases a player's exceptional skill and mastery of that particular character. It often involves a combination of precise execution, strategic play, and in-depth knowledge of the character's strengths and weaknesses. OCVs are celebrated moments in tournaments and are often highlighted in match recaps and highlight reels.
Examples
- During the EVO 2019 Grand Finals, player Daigo Umehara achieved an OCV using his signature character, Ryu, defeating three opponents in a row without needing to switch characters.
- In a local fighting game tournament, a player known as SonicFox managed to OCV his opponents using only his main character, showcasing his dominance and deep understanding of the game mechanics.
Additional Information
- OCVs are rare in high-level play due to the balanced nature of competitive fighting games.
- Achieving an OCV can boost a player's reputation and is often a topic of discussion in the community.
