Watch Street Fighter 5 PS4/PC Opening Cinematic

Capcom has unveiled the opening cinematic for its upcoming fighting game, Street Fighter 5. The video was shown after the grand final at Capcom Cup event which took place at the PlayStation Experience event in San Francisco earlier today.

In addition, producer Yoshinori Ono announced that the 2016 Capcom Pro Tour would kick off on March 18 next year. The tournament would feature Street Fighter 5 as the official game, and will have a $500,000 prize pool. The finals are scheduled to take place in Atlanta, Georgia.

This year's Capcom Cup was a culmination of the year-long 2015 Capcom Pro Tour, a competitive event which saw thousands of players duke it out in Ultra Street Fighter IV to determine who would become the Street Fighter World Champion. First place walked away with $120,000 as a prize, with second place awarded $60,000. For more details on who won, check out the full list of results.

Capcom rolled out a few Street Fighter announcements over the weekend, including the reveal of series newcomer Fang. The character is second-in-command at M. Bison's organisation Shadaloo and utilises a variety of attacks laced with poison (the substance, not the Street Fighter character). Fang's V-Skill is called Nishodoku. When executed he throws a slow moving projectile filled with poison. On contact, it slowly deals damage. His V-Trigger, Dokunomu, creates a poisonous cloud around his body that deals damage to the opponent when they are close to him. Fang will be available at launch.

Street Fighter V is being developed for PS4 and PC. The game will feature cross-platform play and is scheduled to release on February 16 for North America and Europe.
