Another revelation was the fighter F.A.N.G., the last character in starting lineup of Street Fighter 5, who called himself Shadaloo's second commander, Capcom Unity Blog noted. Based on this blog, F.A.N.G. has a rare poison attack, which he uses as an assassin who looks after the dealings of Shadaloo and performs evil explorations within Shadaloo's research facilities. Every time his poison attacks are used, the life bar of an opponent is reduced until the poison has been consumed, which eventually leaves the victim completely ill.
The players are allowed to select the manner in which they can get the in-game currency, which is through Fight Money that can be earned when they play the game or via Zenny that can be bought with their real money; a dollar for every 100 Zenny.
There are six additional characters that are expected to be included following next year's launch. They are Guile, Balrog, Alex, Urien, Ibuki and Juri. They are earned for free via gameplay and may be purchased through the Season Pass 2016 that is currently pre-purchased in North America; Europe is set to get this when the game is launched next year.
The Capcom Pro Tour 2016 is scheduled on March 18, 2016 with Street Fighter 5 as its official game and a prize worth of $500,000, as announced by Producer Yoshinori Ono.
Street Fighter 5 is set to launch on February 16, 2016 and exclusively produced for the PC and PS4 with a cross-platform play between the two systems.
