As mentioned, they won’t be alone. Another will round out the DLC pack. It ‘s currently unknown yet who will be the 5th fighter, but it’s always fun to speculate.

In relation to the main cast, Dan is a long-time friend of Blanka and Sakura.
Oro and Dhalsim share a friendly and respectful relationship with one another.
Rose is considered by Meant to be her ‘Master’, and Akira faced off against Sakura in Rival Schools.
