According to Uber Gizmo, there will be 16 playable characters that will make the roster of "Street Fighter 5." Each introduction trailer tells a little about the character. The website adds that the gaming company Capcom recommends using Necalli first, especially, if they're new to the franchise as he has great attack and defense skills.

Capcom confirmed via the PlayStation Blog that there will be a free Cinematic Expansion for the game. It will be released in June 2016 and will feature approximately an hours worth of cutscenes. The stories are illustrated by famous Japanese illustrator Bengus who has worked with the title in the past.

Without going into too many details, the blog revealed that the story will revolve around M. Bison and Shadaloo and the events take place between "Street Fighter IV" and "Street Fighter III." The happenings will be explained in due time when the free content arrives in a few months.

Executive Game Producer Yoshinori Ono shared to Game Spot how the expanded story will be different from the ones included in the game during its launch.

"We have two approaches that we're actually taking," he said. "First and foremost, there are the character stories, which are really serving as a prologue in terms of getting people up to speed with what's happening in Street Fighter 5, and it's very similar to what you see in other Street Fighter titles--it has still screenshots, conversations, and banter between characters."

He adds that it will not just be illustrations but "in-game models" where "everything will happen in real time."

According to the official "Street Fighter 5" website, other playable characters include: Chun-Li, Ryu, M. Bison, Cammy, Birdie, Ken, Vega, R. Mika, Rashid, Karin, Laura, Dhalsim and F.A.N.G. More character introduction trailers will be released once the game launches this month.

"Street Fighter 5" will be released on Feb. 16, 2016 on PlayStation 4 and Windows PC. The game is made in partnership with Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. and this means that players will be able to cross-platform between PS4 and PC.
