If anything, Luke's role sounds similar to characters like Sakura and Sean, who were both inspired to pursue martial arts by Ryu and Ken respectively. It's not that dissimilar to Ryu's arc, although Ryu sought to surpass his own limitations for his own sake and lacked any sort of idol figure (aside from his master Gouken). Luke's announcement trailer didn't reveal much about his backstory, but his first line of dialogue may indicate just what exactly his story arc will be about: "Someday, I want to become a man like him!" Taken on its own, it sounds like Luke isn't that much different from Ryu.īetween that line, his role as an MMA fighter, and other comments about how he won't lose to anyone, this suggested Luke wishes to improve himself and his fighting abilities to be more like an idol of his.

It's very unlikely that this means Ryu will be retired from the series, as given his iconic status and popularity, he's basically guaranteed to make a return in Street Fighter 6. With Ryu's story arc over, it makes sense to switch him out for a new main character. From this point on, all Ryu seeks is to become a stronger fighter, which he does in the Street Fighter 3 games. In Street Fighter 5's story mode, he finally overcame and purged it from his body by awaking to the Power of Nothingness. In both that game and Street Fighter 4, he had been struggling with the corrupting power of the Satsui no Hado that dwelled within him, which could also transform him into Evil Ryu.

Secondly, while Ryu is an iconic and recognizable character, his personal storyline in the series appears to have come to a close with Street Fighter 5.

It even sported the subtitle A New Generation, heralding a brand new era for the series, with Alex poised to take over as the main character (Ryu would take the position back with the release of Street Fighter 4, which canonically takes place before the events of Street Fighter 3). That game replaced the entire cast with all new characters, with Ryu and Ken being the only exceptions (Akuma and Chun-Li would be added in subsequent instalments). First, Capcom did try this once before with Street Fighter 3. While the idea of replacing poster boy Ryu as the face of Street Fighter might seem insane to some, there're two reasons why this could easily happen. He even sports a yellow-and-blue color scheme that matches Capcom's own logo, as if he's representing the company itself.
STREET FIGHTER 5 RELEASE DATE UPDATE
The Street Fighter V Spring Update will be held on April 6, 2021.Given Capcom's statement, it stands to reason that Luke is set up to take over as not just the main character of Street Fighter 6, but perhaps the series as a whole. Street Fighter V: Champion Edition is available for the PlayStation 4 and PC. Rose and the Marina of Fortune stage both had a tentative Spring 2021 release window in the original map, with characters like Oro and Akira Kazama appearing in Summer 2021.

For example, Dan originally had a Winter 2020 release window, but debuted in February 2021.

The Street Fighter V Season 5 roadmap windows ended up being a bit altered due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This could be an opportunity to find out when the Rose DLC will debut. Oro also showed up at the event, though we only had a brief peek at the character at the very end of the stream. Her and Dan both appeared during the presentation, with the former getting a first look and the latter a release date. Rose previously appeared at the February 2021 Street Fighter V Winter Update. Specifically, the new Street Fighter V DLC characters Rose and Oro will both be mentioned during the presentation. People will be able to show up at the Twitch channel at 3pm PT/6pm ET/11pm BST to learn more about things to come. Capcom revealed details about the Street Fighter V Spring Update.
