Capcom recently announced that Akuma, nefarious evil guy from the Street Fighter franchise, will appear in the upcoming Street Fighter IV arcade version as a secret character. Of course, logic denotes that he'll also pop up in the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC versions, due out hopefully late 2008/early 2009.

No matter how polite you are, Akuma will never play nice.

Akuma first starred in Super Street Fighter II Turbo as a hidden character. He appears in dramatic fashion by killing former Street Fighter II boss M. Bison and taking his place. Since that time, this inhuman and demonic creature has terrorized fighting fanatics with his brutal moves and powerful fireballs. He's become a staple of the franchise, so we can't wait to play as him in Capcom's upcoming sequel.
