It has been almost more than a year since the Street Fighter V: Champion Edition update was released back in 2020. In between, there have been numerous events and updates that have been kicking this fifth installment kicking and alive.
This time SFV is back with its latest Summer Update 2021 and this time it will be at its final leg.
As the video above has covered, there will be 3 new additional characters that will be included in Season 5. The returning wandering hermit Oro, Akira Kazama hails from the Rival Schools series, and finally Luke, a brand new character that is apparently a core character in the next Street Fighter game.
Oro
Oro’s playstyle has always been dubbed weird but offers many options much like in SFIII. Here is an in-depth look at how Oro fights as well as a look at his V-Systems, “Onibi” and “Minomushi”
Akira Kazama
Coming from the Rival Schools series, she is all about getting it up close and personal with her fist and aggressive play.
Luke
The 45th fighter of the entire roster is a mystery. The director of SFV, Takayuki Nakayama even mentions Luke is a “glimpse into the future”. There is a high possibility that Luke will play an integral role in Street Fighter 6.
