As part of the “Street Fighter V Summer Update” web direct presentation, Capcom revealed new details on the characters, stages and other content coming to the fifth and final season of Street Fighter V: Champion Edition.
Announced by the Street Fighter V development team, Dan, Rose, Oro, Akira and one yet-to-be-revealed character will be joining the hard-hitting roster. These newly-confirmed characters are currently in production, so additional details and in-progress images and gameplay footage will be shared in the months ahead as these new characters take form.
More information on the Season V characters and the other new content coming to Street Fighter V: Champion Edition can be found below.
Dan brings his signature “style” to Street Fighter V: Champion Edition
A mainstay from the Street Fighter Alpha series and last appearing in Street Fighter IV, Dan Hibiki will be bringing his (over) confidence and iconic “Taunt” to Street Fighter V. A training partner of Ryu and Ken, Dan considers himself well-equipped to “school” other players with his unique Saikyo-ryu (“Strongest Style”) fighting style.
Release timing: Winter 2020
Rose foresees all her opponent’s defeats in Street Fighter V: Champion Edition
Rose is a fortune-telling fan-favourite character who also previously starred in the Alpha series and Street Fighter IV. Using her tarot cards, Rose will arrive armed with a variety of unique special moves and plans to channel all of her Soul Power energy into Street Fighter V.
Release timing: Spring 2021
Oro, even one-handed will bring the pain in Street Fighter V: Champion Edition
Last appearing in Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, Oro is an ancient martial arts master who exists as an immortal hermit. He restricts one of his arms from use in order to give his opponents an advantage, but that won’t stop Oro from being one of the most well-trained and powerful fighters in Street Fighter V.
Release timing: Summer 2021
Akira misses Sakura but won’t miss you
First introduced in Capcom’s 1997 fighting game Rival Schools: United by Fate, Akira Kazama is preparing to make her Street Fighter debut. As an acquaintance of Sakura, Akira has previous ties to the Street Fighter universe and is gearing up to bring her biker style look and clever gimmicks to Street Fighter V.
Release timing: Summer 2021
Final Character, who could it be?
Who could this mysterious final character be? TBA as stated but wouldn’t be hilarious if it were another spin on Akuma or Ryu. God that be funny.
Release timing: Fall 2021
In addition to these five new characters coming to Street Fighter V: Champion Edition, over 30 new costumes and four new stages are also being planned, including a Rose stage (Spring 2021), Akira stage (Summer 2021) and two new Capcom Pro Tour stages arriving in Winter 2020 and Fall 2021.
A new battle mechanic and new battle balance adjustments will be available in Winter 2020 as free updates to all players, adding even more gameplay enhancements and depth to the game’s combat system.
