CAPCOM's popular fighting game "Street Fighter V Arcade Edition" has announced additional characters and released a special trailer.
The trailer shows a special character that will be added to the Street Fighter V Arcade Edition since "Shadow Naruto" was released on December 17, 2018, and we were wondering what kind of characters would be added.
Three new characters added at the same time!
This time it is the "2019 Summer Character Pack", and the additional characters are
Edmond Honda, the Japanese sumo wrestler who first appeared in Street Fighter II
Lucia, a female detective who protects the city of Metro City and first appeared in Final Fight Tough
Poison, a character from "Final Fight" who also appeared in Ultra Street Fighter IV
The above three characters will be added at the same time.
The "2019 Summer Character Pack" includes not only the rights to use the characters, but also the additional costume "Battle Uniform 1" and default color packs 3-10, making it more affordable than purchasing the characters individually. The price of the "2019 Summer Character Pack" and the price of the individual characters have not yet been announced.
(Note added on August 5, 2019: "2019 Summer Character Pack" will cost 1,500 JPY (tax included).
