Month: September 2015

By now, Capcom is all but certain to reveal another Street Fighter V character at this year’s Tokyo Game Show, but the question of who we’ll see still remains. Will it be one of R. Mika’s companions from the Siliconera leak? Another newcomer? Who knows!

Our first hint towards this character’s identity has, as usual, been provided by Capcom executive Yoshinori Ono. Fresh off his appearance at GAMES15 in the United Arab Emirates, the noted trickster has shared a pair of new Street Fighter V screenshots that show Hot Ryu being demolished by a mysterious attack.

Taken in order, it seems as if this attack shoots the opponent across the stage and into the far wall, where they apparently stick and spin in place. Hmmm, who has a move like that?

Yep, this looks an awful lot like Dudley’s Corkscrew Cross, but let’s not get too ahead of ourselves. Before Rashid’s reveal last week, folks were betting the farm on Cody joining the Street Fighter V roster due to their similarly cyclonic attack styles, and we all saw how that turned out.

As always, feel free to leave your feedback in the comments below. Capcom’s first Tokyo Game Show presentation is slated for September 17 at 2:30 PM JST (10:30 PM PDT on September 16, 1:30 AM EDT), so stay tuned for more details.
