New Fighter
Undoubtedly, "Street Fighter V" will not be complete without its fighting characters. The new update will be bringing in a new fighter named Urien. His character is a white-haired president of the Illuminati.
Urien's character may be purchased with Fight Money when the update hits the "Street Fighter V." This means that no actual money would be spent if the player has enough saved in-game currency to purchase Urien.
However, those who do not have enough on the bank could purchase his character through actual Steam or PlayStation Network funds. Also, those who have the season pass will be able to unlock Urien's character once the new "Street Fighter V" update goes live.
Other Big Improvements
The new "Street Fighter V" patch will also bring the new Daily Targets feature to help players earn their Fight Money. This will also allow players to fight the CPU. This mode was surprisingly absent from the previous standard modes as it is considered as one of the supposedly basic features of the game.
The Fighter Profiles in "Street Fighter V" will also be updated. It will now come with live stat tracking to make it a lot more manageable for the intense gamers to see and compare their performances against their rivals.
Also, those who have the season pass will be gaining access to colors 3-10 for their fighters. Those who do not have season passes, though, will be treated with new premium costumes and colors, along with the ability to purchase new color bundles.
Lastly, the new patch for "Street Fighter V" will be bringing nine new environmental KO's. Some stages will allow the players to trigger an environmental KO instead of beating the opponent with a big move combo to finish the match. These new environmental KO's would be added to the Shadaloo Base, Hillside Plaza, Forgotten Waterfall, Kanzuki Estate, Underground Arena, Union Station, Apprentice Alley, City in Chaos, and Lair of the Four Kings.
