After promising some big announcements for their "Summer Update" live stream showcase for Street Fighter V, Capcom kept their word and revealed four of the five new characters that will be appearing in the fifth and final season pass of "Street Fighter V: Champion Edition". Three of these fighters are very familiar to fans of the series... While the fourth one is an unexpected yet very welcomed entry into the saga that finally brings a character from one of Capcom's fan favorite brawler into the Street Fighter canon!
The four characters revealed are as follows -Dan Hibiki, Rose, Oro, and surprise entrant Akira Kazama of Rival Schools fame! Dan will be the first to arrive and he actually had test footage shown in the stream presentation (which also featured AEW star Kenny Omega - who's a Street Fighter player himself!). Rose and Oro were no brainers as they appeared in the story mode of SFV... But Akira's inclusion is a welcomed one - as it marks the first time a Rival Schools character is crossing over to Street Fighter instead of the other way around as Sakura did!
UPDATE: Here's Dan gameplay test footage straight from Capcom and Playstation!
For more details on the updates, read it up at Event Hubs and Playstation Blog!
Check out the entire replay of the live stream above! Expect more Season 5 news for SFV down the line and the reveal of who the fifth character is!
