Yesterday, Capcom officially revealed the return of Charlie Nash to the Street Fighter franchise. Originally thought to be dead after the events of Street Fighter Alpha, the pivotal figure in Guile’s overall storyline returns to wreck the competition in the series’ next installment.
He’s a little different than we remember, but that’s to be expected after squaring off with a fighter of M. Bison’s caliber. Where before Charlie was a relatively normal guy with a gigantic forelock, he’s reappeared with some rather grotesque new aesthetics that hearken back to Frankenstein’s monster. What could have necessitated the bodily reconstruction he appears to have gone through?
While we’ll likely have to wait awhile to learn the mysteries behind Charlie’s updated look, Capcom has provided a handful of high-resolution screenshots for us to study in the meantime. Check them out below, gawk at just how freaking huge Charlie’s hands are, and give us some of your feedback in the comments.
