With Street Fighter V’s release less than a week away, Capcom is ramping up their promotion. Case in point, this new extended trailer, which goes over each and every character with a ton of gameplay footage.

The video, which you can see below, is notable for a couple of things. First, it’s the first bit of promotional material to use the new theme song from Japanese band Man with a Mission. Second, it gives us what is likely a first glimpse of Alex’s finished in-game model…well, the boots, at least.
