The Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition Winter Update stream will be happening on the Capcom Fighters Twitch, YouTube and Facebook channels at 9 a.m. PT / 12 p.m. ET tomorrow. In a new audio clip featuring Dan’s voice, we’ve been promised some “juicy info” about Street Fighter 5 and Dan Hibiki as a playable character.
We have confirmation that Street Fighter 5’s Battle Director, Ryuichi “Woshige” Shigeno, will be dropping in to also talk about Rose, Season 5 balance changes and new “mechanics” (note the “s”). It seems like this will be a rather lengthy stream.
Based on what was shown during the Fighting EX Layer Garuda costume trailer, we have reason to believe that Akuma might be getting hit with a nerf. It appears that his light Hurricane Kick will no longer be able to cross under opponents as they are being juggled.
As of right now, we don’t have official confirmation on who the fifth and final character of Season 5 is, but Capcom seems to be hinting at Eleven, an early prototype of Twelve from Street Fighter 3: Third Strike.
Eleven was seen during Urien’s prologue story and was supposedly repurposed as raw material by Kolin to resurrect Nash. In Street Fighter 3: Third Strike, Twelve was known for having excellent air mobility and the ability to transform into other fighters.
Of course, everything revealed tomorrow during Capcom’s Winter Update stream will be covered here at EventHubs. Be sure to tune in with us tomorrow at 9 a.m. PT / 12 p.m. ET to catch it all as it happens live.
