After the conclusion of tonight's Red Bull Battlegrounds Street Fighter V tournament and the traditional farewell "Shoryuken" salute from Street Fighter V Executive Produce Yoshinori Ono, we got a short teaser for Street Fighter V's newest character: Akuma.
The teaser was brief, showing only a view of a temple ravaged by a storm, followed by several flashes of light (which appear during Akuma's signature move, the Shun Goku Satsu), then an iconic Street Fighter image: a paintbrushed Kanji emblazoned on the back of a black gi.
One curious thing to note: The symbol on Akuma's back this time around is not the traditional "Heaven" Kanji, but the one for "god" over the one for "man" – the same combination that appeared when he transformed into his ultimate form, Shin Akuma, in Capcom Vs. SNK 2. This could hint at what his abilities in Street Fighter V.
No release date for the character was given, though the teaser mentioned he will be playable at this year's PlayStation Experience on December 3-4 in Anaheim, California.
Our Take
Akuma's a fan favorite, so it's surprising he hasn't made it to Street Fighter V yet. I can't wait to test him out.
