The CFN Portal continues to add concept art depicting how characters fit into Street Fighter V’s world, recently turning the focus to Laura Matsuda’s family tree. In addition to her younger brother Sean (who we’ve already met through Street Fighter III, and Street Fighter V’s story mode), we are introduced to her grandfather Kinjiro from Japan, her parents Yuichiro and Brenda, and her older brother Fabio. We also learn she has two cousins, Enzo and Manuela, who practice capoeira.

Speaking of capoeira–Elena makes an appearance in additional new artwork that shifts away from the Matsuda family to focus on some well-known fighters from Street Fighter III–and also some side characters, namely Dudley’s loyal butler Ortho K. Gotch and Ibuki’s ninjutsu classmate Sarai.

Last but not least, we get to meet Texas-born Byron Taylor: Guile’s commanding officer, seen overlooking the fight in the background of Street Fighter V’s Air Force Base stage.

Lately, it seems that we’ve been spoiled when it comes to King of Fighters XIV content. Aside from the latest 24 character public build of the game, SNK has also been putting up trailers almost every week, and screenshots almost every single day.

Well, it seems that this flood of information isn’t going to turn into a trickle anytime soon. SNK have just announced that they will be debuting a brand new public build of the game with 36 playable characters on May 28 in Japan.

This new build represents a chance for fans to get a glimpse at characters who we’ve yet to see in action, as well as some like King and Angel, who were noticeably missing from the 24 character build, despite being playable in earlier ones.

In addition to this, SNK will be taking said 36 character build to different locations all over Japan in the weeks following its debut.
