It just wouldn’t be a PC beta without datamining, and we’ve had no shortage of uncovered Street Fighter V information because of this sort of creative file browsing. So far, we’ve seen the potential count for characters and stages at launch, heard some previously hidden tracks, and now it seems dataminers could have uncovered information surrounding who we can soon expect to make it on to the game’s roster.
According to a post on NeoGAF, we could be seeing Urien, Alex, Ibuki, Juri, Dhalsim, Balrog and the previously unknown characters referred to simply as “FAN” and “TUT” in the future. We’ve included some images of the code in question in a gallery below so you can take a look for yourself and draw your own conclusions.

When looking at this information, it’s important to note that Alex is confirmed to be a part of the background in the game’s New York City stage, and his bit of code could very well be referencing that background rendering. From there, we can infer that the rest of these characters may also be nothing more than props on some stage or another. There’s just no way to be sure at the moment.
Even though none of this is certain, it’s still fun to consider that these characters, both old and more recent, may soon see their way into the fight.
