Capcom Adds Ken to Street Fighter V

Capcom continues to slowly expand its character roster for Street Fighter V, and the latest addition is Ken. It's not surprising to see him show up for the upcoming series entry, but he looks a bit different.

As the trailer above shows, Ken has an entirely new hairstyle that seems divisive. At least he still has plenty of devastating attacks, some of which are detailed in a recent PlayStation Blog post.

Ken's V-Skill is a Quick Step, which allows him to "run towards the opponent, closing the distance in an instant." He can also "choose to step kick or input another attack closer to the end of his run." Ken's V-Trigger attack is Heat Rush, in which he "channels flames through his entire body for a short period of time, which powers up his special attacks by increasing their number of hits and improving their trajectory, allowing him to perform even more damaging combos."

Fans who have pre-ordered Street Fighter V at select retailers will gain access to the PlayStation 4 online beta later this month on July 23. The game is scheduled to come out in Spring 2016 for PlayStation 4 and PC.
