M. Bison’s masked Russian Doll, Decapre, has been revealed as the fifth and final new character in Ultra Street Fighter IV, joining previously confirmed fighters Poison, Hugo, Elena and Rolento.
Fans will remember Decapre from her debut appearance as an NPC in Street Fighter Alpha 3. Come summertime, players will get the chance to put her “quick and elusive scramble moves as well as her psycho power infused attacks” into playable action for the first time.
Ultra Street Fighter IV will be available in early June as a $14.99 digital upgrade for existing owners of Super Street Fighter IV or Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition on PS3 or Xbox 360, with a $39.99 retail edition to follow for both consoles in August. August will also mark the release of the digital upgrade and full digital bundle for PC, priced at $14.99 and $29.99, respectively.
Get your first look at Decapre in the reveal media posted below.

From the Capcom Cup fighting game event earlier today in San Francisco, Capcom has revealed new modes to be included in the upcoming Ultra-sized edition of Street Fighter IV.
When Ultra Street Fighter IV gets its ultra combo brawl on in Summer 2014, fight fans will be treated to the additions of Team Battle Mode, featuring 3v3 online multiplayer battles with an elimination survival twist, as well as an Online Training Mode for players to practice their skills against other players in a non-competitive environment.
Other previously announced content coming to Ultra Street Fighter IV includes an additional five fighters (Poison, Hugo, Elena, Rolento and a “secret all-new playable character”), six new environments (Pitstop 109, Cosmic Elevator, Half Pipe and more), and loads of rebalanced mechanics and gameplay tweaks based directly on fan feedback.
Ultra Street Fighter IV will be available as a $15 DLC upgrade for existing owners of Super Street Fighter IV or Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition in June 2014 for PS3 and Xbox 360, and for PC players in August 2014. Retail console versions, including all previously released character costumes, will also ship in August for $39.99.

eStarland has some amazing deals going on right now that you definitely need to know about. So, let’s get right to it!
First up, eStarland is currently selling new PS3 copies of Super Street Fighter IV for the low, low price of $22.95, using promo code BLANKA to activate the discount. Coincidentally enough, Amazon’s Gold Box “Deal of the Day” is Super Street Fighter IV for $25. This deal is even cheaper — though the Amazon offer does include the Xbox 360 version, so if that’s your platform of choice you’ll have to pay the extra $3 to get it there. But if you own a PS3, jump on this deal immediately.
Another great offer for PS3 owners is eStarland’s first “Daily Steal.” For today only, you can get a brand new DualShock 3 for $38.95, which is a substantial price slash on the wireless controller’s regular price of $55. Geez, controllers have become too expensive these days, haven’t they?
Anywho… If you’re looking to pick up some used games for your collection, eStarland has you covered there too. You can now get free ground shipping on all pre-owned purchases totaling a minimum of $20.
The latest Power-Ups giveaway is underway as well, and boy is it a doozy. Just add the Power-Ups product to your cart and check out and you’ll be entered to win a PS3 copy of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, Fable III for Xbox 360, or one of eight PSP prizes. The winners will be announced next Wednesday on eStarland’s Facebook page.
Oh, and one last thing before signing off. The Nintendo Entertainment System celebrated its 25th birthday on Monday, and to celebrate eStarland gave out free Wii Remote-shaped candy dispensers with the purchase of any Nintendo product. I’m not sure if the offer is still valid, but try promo code HAPPY25TH if you’re buying a little Nintendo something and see if it works. If it doesn’t, you can always buy one of the dispensers anyway — they are only $2.50.

Mad Catz’s line of Xbox 360 Street Fighter IV fight pad controllers, regularly priced at $40, can now be had for only $20 at eStarland.com. Until July 20th, if you enter the promo code “360FIGHT” when purchasing one of the four available fight pads, the price will be slashed in half.
If you want a better fighting game experience but can’t afford one of the high-end arcade sticks, the fight pads are a great option, more so at this low price. They are wired, but the improved D-pad is totally worth paying for. It’s also great for 2D XBLA titles like Bionic Commando Rearmed and Mega Man 9 and 10 — games that, to me, don’t play so well with the crummy D-pad on the standard 360 controller.
These are the available fight pads:
Ryu Fight Pad
Ken Fight Pad
Akuma Fight Pad
Chun-Li Fight Pad

Capcom today confirmed its projected game lineup for the spring, a lineup including the likes of Monster Hunter Tri, Lost Planet 2, Final Fight: Double Impact and Super Street Fighter IV. Add those to other Q1 games like Dark Void, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars, Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, Mega Man 10 and Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition, and Capcom appears poised to have as impressive a game lineup as any publisher for the first half of 2010.
As for the release dates of the spring lineup, Monster Hunter Tri (standalone and the newly-announced Classic Controller Pro bundle) will ship throughout North America and Europe in April exclusively for Wii, Lost Planet 2 will ship in North America and Europe on May 18th for PS3 and Xbox 360, Final Fight: Double Impact will launch on PSN and XBLA in April, and Super Street Fighter IV for PS3 and Xbox 360 will ship in North America on April 27th and in Europe on April 30th.
