New "Street Fighter 5" details will feature new special editions for the game in Japan and Sagat and Blanka included in the the second wave of DLC characters.
Capcom announced two new special editions for "Street Fighter 5" in the Japanese market; the Volcanic Edition and the Valuable Edition, EventHubs reported. The Volcanic Edition will contain all of the DLC battle costumes of Ryu, Chun Li, M.Bison and Cammy, a 1,500 Zeni product code, a Visionary Book that featues developer interviews, The Vital Box containing special art and move list, A special DVD featuring the game's battle planner Ryuichi "Woshige" Shigeno , Directors Edition colors for all 16 playable characters and a Limited Edition in-game titles. The Volcanic Edition will cost around 12,990 yen ($108) plus tax.
The Valuable Edition on the other hand, will also have the same feature as the Volcanic Edition such as the DLC costumes, Director's Edition colors, special DVD, Vital Box etc. However, Valuable Edition lacks the special battle costumes of both Ryu and Chun Li and it ony has a 1,000 Zeni product code. The Valuable Edition will cost around 11,990 yen ($100.4) plus tax.
In other news, its seems that the second wave of DLC characters might include fan favorites Sagat and Blanka in "Street Fighter 5's" roster.
Game director Yohsinori Ono told Famitsu (via Siliconera) that he might not be adding both Sagat and Blanka to the main roster, simply because he does not want a repetition of characters within the game in order to make a well balanced roster.
Capcom did now want to blindly add more fighters with the same style in the sequel as it will drastically shift the balance of its already established fighters, However, since Ono announced that they have a five year plan for "Street Fighter 5", it is possible that Capcom could add Sagat and Blanka into the roster since a second wave of DLC characters is being teased.
The first wave of DLC characters includes Urien, Juri, Ibuki, Guile, Alex and Balrog. The game's main roster include Ryu, Chun Li, Charlie Nash, M.Bison, Cammy, Birdie, Ken Masters, Vega, R. Mika, Karin Kanzuki, Zangief and Dhalsim. New characters include Necalli, Rashid, Laura and F.A.N.G.
"Street Fighter 5" will officially launch on Feb. 16 in North America and Feb. 18 in Japan for the PlayStation 4 and PC platforms.
