G added to 'Street Fighter 5's' roster
According to Event Hubs, Capcom will likely reveal that G is joining "Street Fighter 5's" roster at the San Diego Comic-Con. The Japanese video game publisher has a history of revealing something new and exciting for the fans, whether it be "Street Fighter" or other upcoming titles. Capcom announced Ken Masters for "SF5" at SDCC 2015, while Juri's trailer was showcased at SDCC 2016. Spider-Man, Mike Haggar, Frank West, and Nemesis made their "Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite" appearance at last year's event. So, it is not surprising that they will showcase G at this year's SDCC.
While there are no concrete details about G, besides dressing up as a showman, he is part of the sequel's Season 3 lineup, alongside Sakura, Blanka, Falke, Cody, and Sagat.
Cody was recently added to the game's roster via a patch update and players can view his backstory and select a variety of alternate looks for him. For now, video game fans will just have to wait for the details about G to come out at SDCC 2018.
