The entire roster of "Street Fighter V" is still unknown at the moment, though it appears a recent data-mining effort has revealed a bunch of new characters.

In a post on EventHubs, it was revealed that intrepid players of the game's second beta have somehow data-mined files for some characters who have yet to be officially announced.

The character files hinted that previous "Street Fighter" personalities such as Alex and Urien are among those who are supposedly included in "Street Fighter V," at least if those uncovered files prove to be correct.

Aside from Alex and Urien, other well-known "Street Fighter" characters such as Guile, Ibuki, and Juri are also reportedly coming to the upcoming game.

There were actually two other names that were uncovered by the data-mining efforts, although there's a little less certainty about who they might pertain to.

First off is Balrog, and the reason there is confusion about this character is because it is unclear who this name is related to, according to Destructoid. The name Balrog could either be related to the boxer, who is otherwise known as M. Bison, or it could also be referencing the character with a mask who also fights with a claw, although that particular character has already been confirmed for "Street Fighter V."

The other character name uncovered in the data-mining that fans are still struggling to connect to anyone is Fan.

According to Gamespot, Fan is in all likelihood a name that is related to a character who will be making his/her debut in "Street Fighter V." It is also believed that more details about the character named Fan will be formally announced before the end of the year.

It's unclear whether the uncovered characters may be downloadable content (DLC) for the game or parts of the launch day roster for "Street Fighter V."
