Street Fighter 5 really is the gift that keeps on giving: SFV was released in early 2016, but the game is far from dead. Now, the Street Fighter V adds 3 new characters to its roster for the Spring Update and beyond: Rose, Oro and Akira Kazama.
Well, we got Dan in February, which, I'm sure you know, was two long-Corona months ago. Now, we will get three more characters: Rose, Oro and Akira. Release dates and details on the characters, right here, right now.

New SFV Character Rose
Street Fighter V Rose – Release Date
Rose is set to be released on April 19. She was first announced during the Winter update and is now coming our way with the Spring update. Hardcore Street Fighter 5 fans might've been waiting for a while, but those hearing it for the first time now: Don't you love it when you only have a couple of days to wait for something to release?
SFV Rose Moveset & Background
Rose is a soul-powered fortune-teller and her moveset was announced with quite the statement: According to Capcom, her moveset will "change the future of Street Fighter 5."
Her V-Skill I is called Soul Fortune and allows Rose to use a tarot card to buff herself or debuff opponents. Yup... SFV taking a note out of League of Legends' book. Her V-Skill II is Soul Satellite and functions the same as it did in Street Figther IV: Rose summons an orb that circles around her and, when triggered again, summons a second orb. The orb can either hit once or negate one projectile. A great pressure tool for all you annoying pressure fighters.
New SFV Character Oro
Street Fighter V Oro – Release Date
Oro is confirmed by Capcom to join the roster in Summer. If you're unsure, that is June 21 to September 22.
SFV Oro Moveset & Background
Oro last appeared in SFIII and will retain his one-armed style. Only this time, his one arm is not sealed off – instead he is holding his new turtle pet. Because... reasons.
Oro is said to come with his classic SFIII moveset, with some new moves added to the mix. His move Tsuranekeashi is a kick move that will be great for distance management to keep opponents away and can also be linked in combos.
His V-Skill II, Minomushi, is a small hop that can be extended into combos.
