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.
