Street Fighter V F.A.N.G. Reveal Trailer


Today at the PlayStation experience conference, Capcom unveiled the latest character to the upcoming Street Fighter V. F.A.N.G. appears to be a spoof of the common Chinese Kung Fu character that appears in countless Kung Fu films and 90's cartoons. He's lean, tall, and sports a long flowing outfit with long sleeves, round glasses, hat, and a thin beard. He's eccentric and menacing at the same time warning his victims that he'll end them in two minutes time.

Playstyle-wise he seems to very poke heavy. His reach is long although not Dhalsim long and he also has two forms of projectiles: a set of two that arc in the air and another that remains on the ground for a short period like Dhalsim's.  These projectiles also make the character purple for a little bit on contact which could hint at additional damage on contact like a poison status in an RPG. His critical can be performed while airborne though for now there is confirmation if it works in the air only. The animation has F.A.N.G. flapping his arms like a bird going for full goofiness. The trailer also reveals that F.A.N.G. is also a new member of M. Bison's Shadoloo syndicate by the stage in the background that depicts him as a statue along with the dictator himself, Vega, and Balrog. Overall I'm attached to F.A.N.G.'s strangeness and will definitely be giving him a try once Street Fighter V launches for PlayStation 4 in February.
