The Spanish ninja, Vega, has been confirmed as an inclusion on the roster of Street Fighter V, Capcom announced today. Vega has been a mainstay of the Street Fighter series ever since Street Fighter II, and a fan favorite because of his repertoire of moves, as well as his intriguing backstory.

Vega returns to Street Fighter V with a brand new look and new tricks up his frilly sleeves. Possessing his trademark speed and quickness, Vega now has access to two distinct fighting modes: with claw and without claw, with the latter promising an entirely new form of fighting than what players might be used to.

Street Fighter V launches exclusively on the PlayStation 4 and PC early next year. An online only beta is scheduled for the PS4 soon, after the earlier beta ran into server issues, and was prematurely terminated.
