Saikyo-style back in fashion come 2021
Capcom’s Shuhei Matsumoto released a state-of-play video message yesterday, in which theStreet Fighter Vproducer announced that DLC characterDan Hibikiwill join theSFVroster in February 2021.
The goofy Saikyo-style practitioner is the first of what is expected to beSFV’sfifth and final season of content,withStreet Fighterveterans Rose and Oro,Rival Schools‘ Akira, and an as-yet-unrevealed character also joining the fight as 2021 progresses. The timing of Dan’s release date reveal coincides with what would have been The Capcom Cup, had this year’s Pro-Tour not been canceled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
In the video, Matsumoto – who steps into the role of Street Fighter producer following the departure of Yoshinori Ono – spoke of the difficulties the team has encountered working during the pandemic, but noted that all work onStreet Fighter V‘s twilight year will continue to a high standard befitting the brand.
