What with all that competitive punching each other in the face, it's easy to forget that Street Fighter has a a long, winding and unresolved story. Individual Street Fighters tend to tie up loose ends in the arcs of particular characters, but the series has struggled to weave the threads together, particularly with Street Fighter 4 taking place before 3 chronologically. The standard Arcade mode stories are returning in Street Fighter 5 but will serve as an introduction to the full 'cinematic' story expansion arriving in June, which promises to knit the games together once and for all.
Street Fighter 5 will release February 16.
