Newcomer Fan’s Voice Discovered in Street Fighter V Audio Files

UPDATE – We’ve been provided with a ridiculous amount of sound files that dive deeper into Street Fighter V’s story mode. In addition to Birdie, Cammy, and Fan, the playlists at the bottom of this article now feature clips of Chun-Li, Ken, Karin, M. Bison, Nash, R. Mika, Rashid, Ryu, and Vega, divided into scenes depending on the character they’re based around.

Remember, they do contain spoilers, so turn back now if you don’t want possible plotlines spoiled.

Some time back, we reported that voice files were found in the Street Fighter V beta that hinted at the full roster and possible Capcom Pro Tour locations. While these were merely an announcer’s voice, new audio has been sent our way that may further unveil another newcomer

One generous benefactor, who wishes to remain anonymous, has shared with us a number of audio clips that were discovered in Street Fighter V after a recent update. Among these voices is one spoken by a character that identifies himself as “the great Fan,” or “Fan-sama” in Japanese.

This lines up with previous findings that mentioned a character with the same name both in the code and the aforementioned announcer audio. We’re hesitant to say this is concrete proof, but the hints are certainly starting to stack up.

The other files feature Cammy and Birdie in what may be back-and-forth dialogue with Fan from the story mode, giving us a small indication of what they will be up to in Street Fighter V. With that in mind, please note that this audio may contain spoilers, so listen at your own risk.

Editor’s note: We’ve done our best to identify the character who speaks each line, but we aren’t ruling out the possibility of a few mistakes popping up here and there.

Street Fighter V is coming to PlayStation 4 and PC on February 16.
