Biker babe getting ready to run you down
Amongthe final wave of DLC charactersheaded toStreet Fighter Vthis year is guest star Akira Kazama, who is making the jump from Capcom’s M.I.A. fighting seriesRival Schools. For those of you who haven’t encountered the ass-kicking biker gal, fear not, as Ms. Kazama will be making her presence felt in an officialStreet Fighter Vcomic this summer.
Capcom, in association with publisher Udon, will release a special issue ofStreet Fighter Vfor this year’s annual Free Comic Book Day festivities, which will take place August 14. The “Back to School” special will head, literally, back to school, as Akira shows up to battle other teens such as Sakura, Karin, Makoto, Ibuki, and evenStreet Fighter III‘s Elena. It’s like when you heard kids from the school across town were coming to the field for a massive scrap (that always ended up not actually happening).
Akira is the fourth of five characters headed toStreet Fighter Vin its twilight season. Dan Hibiki launched earlier this month, and will be followed byStreet Fighter Alpha‘s Rose,Street Fighter III‘s Oro, Akira, and a mystery fifth character, still to be revealed. In other recentSFVnews, Korean killer Juri Han recently got two new skins, the result of last year’s community-led design contest. You can read more about Juri’s hi-jinxright here.
