New CG Street Fighter V Trailer Shows the World Warriors in Action

Most notably, Street Fighter main antagonist M. Bison is featured prominently as he takes on a host of fighters including a resurrected Charlie Nash, a returning character last seen in Street Fighter Alpha 3.

Apparel specialists Numskull has teamed with Capcom to launch a line of official Street Fighter V and retro Street Fighter II merchandise. This trailer is particularly exciting in light of the DLC news in recent days; let your imagination run, because this summer the game will score a load of storyline content that fleshes it out in a way no other Street Fighter has experienced.

Capcom recently shed light on their decision to apply a major design overhaul to Ken Masters’ character.

Capcom actually recommends that new players start off with Necalli since he has the ability to block fireballs and has a great overhead attack, so that’s something that might appeal to new players as they discover the Street Fighter franchise. Except that bit where Ken looks off into the distance (0:18).

Classic series combatants Balrog and Guile are slated to launch as playable characters later this year, along with Street Fighter III veterans Alex, Ibuki, and Urien. Playing him effectively is another thing entirely. “So I think the team wanted to separate the two a little more, so it wasn’t a ‘white ninja dude, red ninja dude'”.

The Street Fighter V cinematic story expansion will be released in June 2016 as a free update to all players.
