Capcom recently released a trailer showing off the extra costumes players will get when they pre-order "Street Fighter 5." Cammy, Ryu, M. Bison and Chun-Li donned the garb as they knocked out other fighters in the arena.
Players in North America who pre-order the title from Gamestop will take home Ryu's "strong and grizzly" alternate constume. Those who will pick up the game from Best Buy will get Cammy's mission gear.
Those who go for Amazon to pre-order a copy of their "Street Fighter 5" will get to see M. Bison don his "sinister looking, ominous black outfit." Chun Li's extra costume is available on the PlayStation Network and Steam.
Buyers will not only score these additional outfits for the fighters, they will also automatically become participants in the game's console and PC online beta. Capcom has provided no other details about the event yet.
Meanwhile, the recent "Street Fighter 5" beta test saw health levels for all fighters in the game's roster. Majority of the characters received health nerfs by 50 and Chun Li seems to be the only one who got a health buff, putting her on par with R. Mika despite her drop.
Here's how the characters stand by the end of the third beta testing as noted by Event Hubs: Birdie and Zangief are at 1050 while Ken, Laura, M. Bison, Necalli, Ryu and Vega have 1000. At 950, there's Chun Li, Nash, Rashid and R. Mika. Cammy, Dhalsim and Karin are on the bottom of the list with 900.
"Street Fighter 5" will be out Feb. 18, 2016. Before it officially goes on sale, Capcom fell victim to risks of content leaks, which made them realize their errors in keeping the game a secret and at the same time how much fans want to know more about it.
Director of Brand Marketing & eSports Matt Dahlgren opened up to Event Hubs about this, saying "I don't think we can really blame fans for being so passionate that they want to go in and try to find everything out."
