Last night, at Capcom Cup 2017, Yoshinori Ono took to the stage to announce the Season 3 characters for Capcom's latest Street Fighter game. 

I see some familiar faces in that list and some new ones. 

Sakura, Blanka, Cody, and Sagat are the returning fan favorites of the Street Fighter series. I expect them to retain all of their original move sets and probably have a few others to boot. The two newest fighters, Falke and G, we have zero information about. 

However. 

As pointed out on twitter, G looks really similar to another character named Greg the Gorilla from the PS1 fighter, Bloody Roar. Bloody Roar was not created by Capcom, but by Hudson Soft. So it would be rather weird for a character, who wasn't owned by Capcom, to be in a Capcom fighting game. But this is 2017, and Geese Howard is in Tekken. So.... Its not really unheard of, but the last Bloody Roar game was over 15 years ago. 

You make the call. Here is a side by side. G is on the left, Greg the Gorilla is on the right.

Right? They do look alike. 

Anyway, time to put the tin foil hat away. 

Ono also graced us with not one, but 2 trailers. The first one is the opening cinematic to Street Fighter 5: Arcade Edition. Which features the season 3 characters. 

It was also confirmed, that Sakura will be the first character rolled out for Arcade Edition when it is released on January 16th. 

She also got some love. 

Man she looks awesome. She might actually get me back into SF5. 

Street Fighter 5: Arcade Edition, along with Sakura, will be released on January 16th, 2018 for the PS4 and the PC (Steam). The season 3 character pass will also be available to purchase on that date.

And as always, this is James with Game Fix. Game on everybody! 

(Ok Capcom. Its cool we got Blanka, and Sakura, and Cody, and Sagat. But where the hell is Makoto? Seriously. I want Makoto. Give me Makoto.)
