Street Fighter 5 characters and gameplay have been hinted at in the newly released teaser trailer. Sadly, the teaser announced the game will only be on the PlayStation 4 and PC, as previously reported by the Inquisitr .
Capcom’s decision to exclude the Xbox One could give Sony back the definitive lead in the console wars. Microsoft’s crowd still has Mortal Kombat X , even though it’s not an exclusive.
The teaser gave us glimpses of the game in action as the narrator talked about passion. Other visual hints throughout the video offered a possible list of fighters returning for another round, as well as the return of some of the more powerful moves.
One such example of the Street Fighter 5 gameplay was at one point where long-time staple Ryu performs a Hurricane Kick super move. This tells us that advanced versions of the classic specials are coming back. Ryu is also seen early on possibly preparing for a super counter.
The Street Fighter 5 characters we know about (or were possibly hinted at) from the teaser are listed below.
- Sagat is seen in a piece of graffiti alongside Chun Li .
- Ryu is seen several times in action, and even as art on a smartphone case.
- Ken is being sketched by a possible Capcom artist in detail with his elbow extended, and revealed later getting lightning kicked by Chun Li .
- Chun Li and Guile are shown as coplayers, with the former kicking the latter before we see her posing for battle in Street Fighter 5 gameplay.
- Guile is once again hinted by a sketch-style tattoo.
- Zangief is part of a group sketch alongside Ryu , Ken , and Chun Li .
- Dhalsim and E. Honda are seen in the same sketch when it’s colored and finished, alongside the words “25th Anniversary.” The 25th Anniversay Street Fighter Collection was released a few years ago, but this could still be a hint. It might also indicate that the ability to choose previous versions of the Street Fighter 5 characters could be back.
- Dudley is seen getting finished by the business end of Chun Li ‘s lightning kick in what appears to be a tournament battle. Again, this could be a hint that he’s returning.
- Balrog may be back, according to a vague hint given by scenes of a young boy with boxing gloves and a white shirt, and other boy with a boxing glove running toward the camera.
- Yun may also be back, if the scenes of a skateboarder are another hint. If he is, you can probably expect Yang to return as well.
It is unknown if any other Street Fighter 5 characters will be returning from previous games, since Blanka, M. Bison, and Vega were noticeably missing from the teaser.
Who do you want to “ rise up ” for Capcom’s latest sequel in the series?
