Street Fighter V Reveals Luke & New Gameplay for Akira from Rival Schools & Oro; Release Date Announced

Today Capcom and Twitch Gaming showcased a new look at upcoming content for the popular fighting game Street Fighter V: Champion Edition.

First of all, we get to see Oro’s V-Skills and V-Triggers. On top of that, we also take a look at a full Oro vs Oro match.

We then learn that Guy and Cammie are going to be released in Fortnite on August 7.

Next, we move on to a new look at Akira including her stage named “Rival Riveside,” which stars Gan and Edge, also from the Rival Schools series.

We then get to see her in action, including a full Akira vs Akira match. Now, if only Capcom made an actual Rival Schools 3… a man can dream.

Both Oro and Akira will be released on August 16 alongside an update that will introduce a brand new Tournament Mode. Below you can see what to expect including Oro and Akira’s costumes.

Yet, this isn’t all, as we also get to see the reveal of Luke, a brand new character who will be the last character of the season. Luke will release in November.

If you’re unfamiliar with Street Fighter V: Champion Edition, which is now available for PS4 and PC, here’s how Capcom describes it. You can also take a look at the first trailer showcasing Akira from a while ago.

“Rule the ring with Street Fighter V: Champion Edition, the most robust version of the acclaimed fighting game! This new version includes all content (excluding Fighting Chance costumes, brand collaboration costumes and Capcom Pro Tour DLC) from both the original release and Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition. Champion Edition adds each character, stage and other content that released after Arcade Edition and with the release of this new version. In total: 40 characters, 34 stages, over 200 costumes – all action-packed into one knockout edition! READY? FIGHT!

All game mode additions and balance updates are free for owners of any Street Fighter V version. Additionally, all DLC characters remain earnable completely free of charge through completing various in-game challenges and receiving earned in-game currency, called Fight Money. For those who can’t wait, in-game content can be obtained instantly using real money. Certain additional content can only be acquired using Fight Money, which can be earned through normal gameplay.”
