Street Fighter V to Headline Wednesday Night Fights’ Winter Season

With this year’s Capcom Pro Tour behind us and just two short months remaining before the release of the next entry in Capcom’s flagship fighting series, Street Fighter players the world over are making plans for how to approach this next era in fighting game history.

That’s not to say that Street Fighter IV won’t continue to make its regular appearances at majors and weeklies alike, but there has been–and will continue to be–a definite shift in focus from the title that helped revitalize the scene to one that aims to get back to something closer to the game’s roots.

This preparation for Street Fighter V has come in the form of combo and tech videos, podcast discussions, and of course, tournament organization. Case in point, Wednesday Night Fights organizers announced plans earlier today to begin their winter season on February 17, just one day after Street Fighter V’s official release. And yes, the day-old game will be the focus of the event moving forward.

If you’ve got plans to make an appearance at this inaugural event, it’d be wise to get the most out of the upcoming beta weekend to help prepare.

Capcom Unveils Exclusive Color for Street Fighter V’s F.A.N.G

A few weeks ago, Capcom unveiled the exclusive colors that will be included in the Street Fighter V package available from their online store in Japan. The images in question depicted characters like Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Rashid, and Laura showing off alternate color palettes, most of which revolving around a pink and white color scheme that definitely stands out from their default outfits.

One character, however, was obviously missing, but now that F.A.N.G is officially out of the bag, Capcom’s website has been updated with a pair of screenshots highlighting the newcomer’s alternate look.

While certainly fitting with other characters’ exclusive colors, the muted rose look F.A.N.G’s got going on in the images certainly add to his already weird aesthetics. Let us know what you think in the comments.

Street Fighter V will launch for PlayStation 4 and PC on February 16.
