Capcom Unveils their Final Ultra Street Fighter IV Roster Addition

Earlier this evening Capcom announced their fifth and final character for Ultra Street Fighter IV. Since the announcements of Poison, Hugo, Rolento and Elena the web has been buzzing with rumors as to who this new character would be. While the initial rumors pointed towards someone from the Street Fighter comics there were plenty of names tossed about that were not related to the comics or Street Fighter canon including Asura from  Asura's Wrath who I thought was a definite possibility. It turns out that Decapre is the latest addition  and joins the fight  by way of Street Fighter Alpha 3 where she appeared as a non playable character and is one of M. Bison‘s Dolls. While it is easy to see Decapre as a Cammy clone due to the pigtails and scarring it turns out that she is a Russian doll behind that mask who wields an assortment of scramble moves and psycho power attacks. The addition of Decapre brings the Ultra Street Fighter roster to 44 fighters. Check out the trailer and picture gallery and get acquainted with the very dangerous Decapre.

Ultra Street Fighter IV's new challengers and stages are not the only things fans of series can look forward to as the fighters from the existing roster were rebalanced. The rebalancing will definitely change the way long time players approach the game and will extend the shelf life of the fourth installment for a bit longer. We can only hope we see a fifth Street Fighter sooner rather than later.
