Too Long; Didn't Read
Street Fighter 5 director Takayuki Nakayama, and producer Shuhei Matsumoto, gave a run down on these characters with an update video on the official Street Fighter YouTube channel. They state that Oro is not a newcomer to the Street Fighter franchise, his first appearance was in 1997, almost 25 years ago. Rose will be available on April 19th, and Akira will be a crossover character from Rival Schools, another fighting game franchise developed by Capcom. We don't know the exact release date of Oro, but we know it’ll be sometime in the summer.
