The much anticipated Street Fighter 5, which is reportedly being released on PS4 and PC on February 16th, 2016, has received updates from Capcom. The Street Fighter series has been around for a long time now, and Street Fighter 5 has as much anticipation as any Street Fighter in recent memory.
CAPCOM RELEASES LATEST UPDATES AND NEWS
The main news from Capcom regarding Street Fighter 5 is the announcement of the new training mode. According to details, the new training mode for Street Fighter 5 will follow a young Ryu as he trains with Master Gouken, his master. In the tutorial video released by Capcom, it is shown that these two are sparing with each other in order for Ryu to hone his abilities. Capcom also reported that this mode will feature Alpha-era Ryu and Ken costumes. Although it is not officially announced, it was stated that it would make sense for these to be available outside of training mode.
The producer of Street Fighter 5, Yoshinori Ono, also hinted that there will be six additional DLC characters available. The characters themselves have not officially been announced at this time, but they can be expected to join the cast of fighters. Ono announced that these characters will be unlockable via gameplay and that all DLC for Street Fighter 5 will be free. Free downloadable content is always an awesome feature for video games as the usual retail price of over $50 is more than enough money to pay.
THE ANTICIPATION
The last solo Street Fighter game was Street Fighter 4, which was released seven years ago in 2008. To say it has been awhile for Street Fighter fans to play a new Street Fighter is an understatement. For those who are unaware, Street Fighter 5, just like the others, is a 2-D fighting game in which people have a variety of characters to pick from and fight against other computers or other users. No matter how much fun a fighting game is, it will get old after awhile. This is why Street Fighter fans are craving this game so much and hopefully they will be satisfied. February 16th, 2016 is the date all fans waiting for Street Fighter 5 need to be pumped for as that is the day that this game will officially hit the shelves.
