Capcom unveils first in-game screenshot of Oro in Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition Season 5

Earlier this morning, Capcom revealed the first screenshot for Oro in Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition Season 5. Oro is currently scheduled for release in the summer of 2021, after Rose releasing in the spring of 2021.

In the screenshot, Oro’s mustard yellow complexion is clearly visible on his wrinkled forehead. His eyes also radiate a red glow. If we didn’t already know who Oro was, we’d probably think Oro was an evil character based on the red eyes.

Oro is expected to have some sort of theme where he balances a turtle with one hand. In Street Fighter 3, Oro was known to fight with one hand tied to hold back. He will instead hold and balance a turtle in Street Fighter 5.

We have of course already seen how Oro briefly floats the turtle when activating Tengu Stone. Based on the sound effects played during the Oro sneak peek played towards the end of the Winter Update stream, we believe Tengu Stone is one of Oro’s V-Triggers.

In particular, the turtle in question can be seen on top of Oro’s head in Capcom’s new screenshot. All we can see of the turtle are, of course, its legs. Since Oro is supposed to hold the turtle during gameplay, this appears to be Oro’s introductory animation in Street Fighter 5.

Unfortunately, the screenshot has been cut off at Oro’s mouth. However, it does make it clear that Oro has a gigantic nose and extremely large ears. This makes sense given that he is a 140-year-old recluse and how the ears and nose are the only parts of the human body that never stop growing.

More information about Oro (and Rose) is expected to be released during the Spring Update stream airing tomorrow, April 6. As always, we will provide coverage when the news falls tomorrow.
