While we received a ton of footage in a very short time after Street Fighter V was revealed last month, things have cooled down a bit and new details have been scarce. Fortunately, it appears as if that’s going to change soon at Taipei Game Show 2015.

During their visit to the convention, Capcom plans to show off the upcoming fighter as part of their stage show alongside Monster Hunter Frontier G. Producers Yoshinori Ono and Tomoaki Ayano will be on hand to demonstrate the title to an eastern crowd for the very first time, more than likely with one of the trailers released previously.

But there’s bound to be new footage as well thanks to a special exhibition between Mad Catz’ Daigo Umehara and Bruce “GamerBee” Hsiang of AVerMedia. Similar to Peter “Combofiend” Rosas and Mike Ross’ showdown at Capcom Cup, this match is sure to give the community another great look at how Street Fighter V is shaping up through two high-level competitors.

Taipei Game Show 2015 is scheduled for January 28 – February 1 in Taipei, Taiwan, with the above showcase planned to go down on January 31.
