The fifth entry of the "Street Fighter" series, which was recently released in Feb. 16 for PlayStation 4 and Windows PC, is now getting rave reviews from gamers across the gaming industry. As a token of appreciation, the game publisher Capcom will add six new characters to "Street Fighter V"; however, these characters will only appear by the end of 2016.
At the moment, the recently released installment of "Street Fighter," which was dubbed as one of the best-selling video game ever, has 16 playable characters that includes R.

Earlier reports claim that each DLC character will be priced at $6 if gamers buy them outright; however, they can also acquire these characters via a currency called Zenny or unlocking then via Fight Money. If players opt to just unlock these characters via Fight Money, then it would cost them 100,000 FM per character; however, if one will opt to the former mode of payment, then the player will need 600 Zenny per character.
