SDCC 15: Ken Announced For Street Fighter V
I know this is a bit of a duh, but there's a lot of question marks for Street Fighter V so not really. Also apparently Ken is going to play differently from Ryu which is very interesting since they've always have been pretty similar. From Capcom:
Announced today during the annual Street Fighter panel at San Diego Comic-Con, a new character has joined the exclusive Street Fighter V roster. Ken, the master of the flaming Shoryuken, has just been confirmed and is now playable on the Comic-Con show floor (Capcom booth #215). One of the key protagonists in the legendary Street Fighter series, Ken brings an array of new abilities to Street Fighter V, where his tricky mix-ups and flashy combos have the ability to bewilder opponents and deal huge damage. Ken joins the six previously-announced characters Ryu, Chun-Li, Charlie Nash, M. Bison, Cammy and Birdie, with plenty more new and returning characters still to come.
As a reminder, the first online beta program for Street Fighter V will be exclusive to PlayStation®4 players and will run for five days, starting from July 23 (6pm PDT) in North America/ July 24 (3am CEST) in Europe.
