There appears to be two new characters that have just been revealed for "Street Fighter 5."
The first of the two is none other than the familiar Russian powerhouse known as Zangief.
Zangief has been part of the "Street Fighter" franchise since 1991, according to Polygon, but it looks as if his newest incarnation has been changed just a bit.
With the addition of V-Skills and V-Triggers to "Street Fighter 5," this has also meant that Zangief himself has added a few new moves to his highly recognizable arsenal.
Zangief's V-Skill, known as Iron Muscle, enables the wrestler to absorb a blow from his opponent and even recover some health. Players can even do a bit of damage at the end of Iron Muscle if they manage to pull off a quick button combo.
As for his V-Trigger, known as the Cyclone Lariat, Zangief can forcibly pull opponents into a whirling dervish of destruction that could leave them with some big bruises afterward.
Zangief's addition to "Street Fighter 5" has been officially confirmed by Capcom, but he's not the only new character that's been recently revealed to be part of the game.
According to Event Hubs, an accidental leak coming courtesy of Famitsu has inadvertently shown off another new character for "Street Fighter 5."
The new character is known as Laura.
In the game, Laura will reportedly be showing off her impressive command of Brazilian jiu-jitsu as she pummels enemies into submission. In addition to her wide arsenal of holds, Laura also appears to have some command over electricity, and she may be able to wield that power in "Street Fighter 5."
Since Laura's reveal came from an accidental leak as opposed to an official announcement from Capcom, she still has not been confirmed for "Street Fighter 5," although that would appear to be a mere formality at this point.
