In a surprise reveal at the conclusion of Capcom Cup 2017, the Japanese video game giant, Capcom has announced 6 new characters for Street Fighter V. The listing of all the new fighters includes some of the long-requested fan favorites, as well as two brand-new fighters.

The homecoming fighters, Sakura & Cody both are making their debuts in the Alpha series along with Sagat & Blanka, who have been around since Street Fighter 2. The two new characters, meanwhile, are G, a presidential-looking bearded man sporting a rather large top hat and Falke, a new female fighter who looks to be closely connected to Ed.

For the season 3 of Street Fighter V, these 6 characters will be getting the spotlight. As per the Capcom’s surprise reveal, Sakura will be hitting the platform on January 16, 2018, when Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition launches.
