The third season of Street Fighter V characters was announced after the conclusion of this year’s Capcom Cup, and there’s a slew of old faces finally returning to the fight.
Sakura, Blanka, Cody, and Sagat will return to the ring, alongside newcomers G and Falke. All were shown in a fancy new story trailer, as part of the Arcade Edition upgrade.
Sakura also got a gameplay reveal trailer, showing off her general move set and two V-Triggers. It’s interesting to see her wearing a headset mic alongside her classic Ryu-styled headband and gloves.
Sakura will be available Jan. 16, 2018, the same day as the release date of Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition. The rest of the characters will trickle out over the course of the year.
I leave you with one parting note: Why does Cody suddenly look so debonair?

I don’t play Street Fighter 5… but how has it taken this long to bring in Blanka?
Is G Amish?
Because I can totally get behind that, English.
Current theory is that G is actually Greg from Bloody Roar.
Even though they look the same, I wasn’t buying it till I saw the Gorilla in Ed’s story mode.
But Bloody Roar isn’t Capcom?
Ahhh my boy Blanka is coming back. Might have to get back into it. How much are the season passes does anyone know?
