Capcom has released the latest batch of characters for Street Fighter V, with G and Sagat now ready and waiting for a punch-up.
G is the new face on the block here, and seeks to become world leader in an attempt to unify people through social media. He's known as the Man of Mystery, although he likes to think of himself as President of the World. So, a humble sort of chap, then.
In fact, it's his Pesidentiality ability that sets him apart from other fighters, which players can raise up to level three by absorbing power from the earth. Maxing it out will increase the power of his special moves, but it'll reduce if G's knocked to the ground.
Speaking of special moves, one of them is called Message to the People, and sees him gaining EX Gauge while delivering a speech 'meant to unite all citizens of earth.' He's vulnerable while he waffles on though, so there's a risk/reward factor to consider.
Meanwhile, Sagat returns to the fray having spent time in a secluded village, where he lives as a hermit in hopes of putting some personal demons to rest. Many of his iconic moves are back, such as the Tiger Uppercut, Tiger Shot, and Tiger Crush aka Tiger Knee.
Street Fighter V's latest brawlers are also joined by a new stage, King's Court, which is a revamped version of Sagat's Street Fighter 2 stomping ground.
Both characters can be snapped up from today for $5.99/100,000 Fight Money, or come packaged with the $29.99 Season 3 character pass.
