Ever since the first joke of Sheng Long being a secret character in Street Fighter II started years ago, fans of the series have hoped that, with every installment, this legendary fighter would finally reveal himself.
As time passed, hopes of ever seeing if we actually could defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance seemed very low… until now.
As I mentioned a few days ago, Capcom announced that a new character was soon to be revealed and even hinted that it could be Gouken (Sheng Long as many fans still refer to him). Now it is official, Gouken will finally be appearing in Street Fighter.
After years of speculation and April Fool’s jokes, fans can finally rejoice and test their skills against this legendary character.
I think the Street Fighter universe just imploded in on itself.
T’will be fun to see how the fans react to *this*. *laughs*
Unless Capcom ret-cons…everything, they are going to have to be very careful with how they justify Gouken being here.
However, someone did translate the page and apparantly he has the Shin Shoryuken super that Ryu had in Street Fighter 3, so it does seem that they are setting it up to acknowledge SF3. Maybe it will work out with the plot.
Cool write up that many people will find useful Thanks
