Two More Street Fighter 5 Characters Rumored
Urien and Alex may be coming to Street Fighter 5 "at some point in the future."
This rumor comes by way of Siliconera, whose story does not specify exactly where their info is coming from, simply citing "sources" whom they claim have "confirmed" it to them. We reached out to Capcom on the matter, and their only response was the expected "We do not comment on rumors or speculation."
Were the rumor prove to be true, it would be quite significant, as neither of these characters have seen life in any Street Fighter since Street Fighter III: Third Strike. Alex, a hybrid grappler/brawler, has been requested often by Street Fighter fans, and Urien was infamous for his incredible mix-ups and unblockable setups using his Aegis Reflector special. The prospect of either returning would certainly be exciting for long-time fans.
