When it comes out on February 16, Street Fighter 5 will initially feature the kind of standard arcade story mode you've likely experienced before: you'll go through a series of arcade battles with a small amount of backstory for each character. However, that's just going to be the tip of the iceberg. This June, a free update will be released with over an hour's worth of cutscenes, detailing a much larger narrative. Watch the trailer above for an idea of what this will look like.Capcom also shed a little light on how they'll be handling the earning of in-game currency, called Fight Money, for purchasing DLC characters down the line. Offline activities such as completing arcade or survival modes with different characters, as well as ranking them up individually will earn you Fight Money. Going through most of the offline content will net you enough to buy one new character, the first of which will show up in March. At that time, daily missions will be introduced to earn a steady stream of Fight Money going forward.Of course, for people who just want to get online and test their mettle, winning ranked matches will be the most steady way to rack up the cash. It should be interesting to see how easy it will be to keep up with the drip of new characters without having to pay real money for them.
