Akuma Joins Street Fighter IV Cast

I think we all knew this was coming, but now Capcom has made it official. Street Fighter IV’s cast will now be joined by Akuma, the legendary demon badass from the original games. An official Capcom website has revealed several screenshots that appear to come from an intro cinematic for Akuma. No word yet on how you’ll actually be able to play as him yet, but hopefully Capcom will make a more formalized announcement soon. Until then, rest easy knowing that a fan favorite is making a next-gen appearance (which only slightly make sup for including Rufus as well).
