New details about “Street Fighter 5” were leaked.

The next big Street Fighter finally has a release date: SFV is coming to the PS4 on February 16th. Sure he’s a new announcement for Street Fighter V, but c’mon, he’s been around since Street Fighter II and one of the series most popular characters. Thanks to the Internet, the story lives on, and we can all share the tale about the fighter releasing in mid-February.

That either Fan or Tut will be Street Fighter V’s final boss gives a consistency to Capcom’s previously announced roster cap of 16 characters. However, they are quite highly detailed for non-playable characters, suggesting they may appear later as part of Capcom’s extensive DLC plans. The suggestion is that these are models that are in the backgrounds of stages, especially since Alex has already popped up in the one revealed at New York Comic Con.
