Capcom will be working hard to address the fans concern for "Street Fighter 5" and will implement its plans for the regular game updates that will contain new enhancements and content additions.
Ono added the a new wave of DLC characters will be coming soon in "Street Fighter 5" depending on its success and it is said to rival that of "Ultra Street Fighter 4's" roster. So far, only Alex and Guile have been added to "Street Fighter 5's" roster while fighters like Juri, Ibuki, Urien and Balrog are coming to the game soon.
Lastly, Capcom will be implementing a new system against "Rage Quitters" within "Street Fighter 5" in the form of an anti-disconnects system.
