E3 2015: The New Street Fighter 5 Trailer is Awesome!

The Street Fighter game series is well known to anyone who is remotely interested in gaming. At the ongoing E3 2015 in Los Angeles, Sony has announced that the well-known game will be coming to PlayStation 4. Capcom, the makers of the Street Fighter game series, confirmed during the PlayStation E3 press conference about the game’s public beta on the PlayStation 4 that will be debuting on July 23rd.

Following the leak of the game details back in December 2014, the highlight of the trailer is the addition of two new players: Birdie, the tall British punk rocker with a beak-shaped Mohawk hairstyle and Cammy, the blue-eyed, slender fighter who is now an amnesiac MI6 operative for the British government.

Birdie, who is the newest addition to the Street Fighter game, is one of the few characters that has multiple V-Skills, all of which spin around foods and drinks. Birdie can eat a banana and throw the peel on the floor, which the enemy player will slip on.

For his V-Trigger, Birdie eats a hot pepper and enters a powered up state, making all his attacks-particularly his bull charge, even more deadly. In his Critical Art, he wraps up the opponent in chains and uses him or her as a skipping rope.

Cammy, meanwhile, retains many of her iconic moves, such as her Spiral Arrow, Canon Spike, and Canon Strike. Her Spin Knuckle is now her V-Skill.

Apart from this, the new trailer showed that the game will be played in its traditional 2D platform, with rotating camera view. No other details could be deciphered. You will have to pre-order the beta for PS4, and later on for PC as well.

New Round of Details Emerge about Ultra Street Fighter IV for PS4

More details about the upcoming PS4 version of Ultra Street Fighter IV have emerged via a post on the official PlayStation Blog. Gio Corsi of Sony says that along with five new characters and six brand new stages, the game will include all previously released costume DLC, including the Vacation and Wild Costumes.

Also a part of the package will be the Omega Mode. Sony says that a combination of all these aspects makes the PS4 version “the ultimate” edition of the game. Ultra Street Fighter IV is already available on the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, though an Xbox One version hasn’t been announced yet.

The PS4 version of the game was earlier announced in December and is slated for a launch sometime around spring. Meanwhile, Capcom and Sony recently announced the Street Fighter V for PS4 and PC, which will have support for cross-platform play.

Street Fighter V Unveiled, Expected to Arrive Exclusively on PC and PS4

Street Fighter V teaser trailer was spotted on YouTube. A NeoGAF user reported the YouTube clip, which led to the whole revelation. Since then, it has been set to private. Though, there are still doubts whether the trailer appeared on Capcom’s site or was leaked.

The supposed teaser points out that Street Fighter V is apparently a PC and PS4 exclusive, though we can expect it go cross-platform since all modern arcade games run on computer hardware. Moreover, the fact that the word ‘exclusive is sometimes referred to as ‘time exclusive’, the game could eventually come on the Xbox as well. Just like the case with Street Fighter IV, which initially came out in 2008 as an arcade game before going cross-platform.

So far, there are no details available on the game, but we’ll update you as soon as we get more information about the game. There’s also a slight possibility that Capcom might officially announce the game at the two-day PlayStation Experience event to be held in Las Vegas. In the meantime, you can have a look at a few GIFs for Street Fighter V below.
