Street Fighter 5 Tutorial Mode Features Young Ken and Ryu
The Street Fighter V tutorial mode will take players learning the basics of the game back to Ken and Ryu's roots.
In an official trailer released by Capcom, the iconic fighters are shown in what appears to be a flashback to their early Alpha (Street Fighter Zero in Japan) days. The footage includes Japanese voice-acting, but the tutorial mode did show up for a short time in beta server stress tests in the West earlier this month. Footage of the tutorial mode with English voice-acting can be found online.
