Here it is. The Street Fighter V Spring Update 2021.


This all looks really cool. Oro, Rose and Akira Kazama look like very fun characters. The merch was ok. The remix of Dan's theme sounds good. Rose is coming on April 19.

Speaking of Akira... in Rival Schools she's not as small (relative to the males) and has a deeper voice. Meanwhile, in Street Fighter V, she's smaller in height AND has softer voice. Is she aging backwards like Benjamin Button? And Daigo still has his uniform. Are those two still in school? Sakura Kasunago of all people got older and graduated, but the Kazama brothers are still in school? Thought on second thought, her appearing to be smaller is likely due to biology. Usually males stop growing around ages 19 to 21 while females stop growing somewhere around ages 13 to 15, that's why human males tend to be taller than females. Akira Kazama not being as small (relative to the males) at the time of Rival Schools can be explained simply by saying that her males classmates still had room for growth. This doesn't explain the softer voice, tho. Anyway, I think the best we can do is just wait for the character story.

For those who are confused about Oro: Oro never lost his arm. In SF3 he uses a spell in order to bind one of his arms. You can see Oro using both of hir arms during Super Arts. Oro is so powerful that he fights with only one arm in order to give himself a challenge. Also, Oro's pet turtle was introduced in SF3, as seen in his stage and character artwork.

EDIT: I forgot. Remenber how Rose's win poses shows different Tarot cards and one of them features C. Viper? This deck of cards is based on an actual set of tarot cards released by Capcom in the special Japanese edition of the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection. There's also an Elena card.

So no, I don't think it's supposed to be a C. Viper hint.
