Capcom has released another trailer in their promotion of Street Fighter IV, this one all traditional animation, depicting a brawl between Ryu, Akuma, and a third wheel who jumps in at the end... with a few intriguing flashbacks.

Presumably, this means Akuma will be in SFIV - no big surprise there. But it also seems to suggest another character from Street Fighter lore - one long thought dead - might make an appearance.

I can't tell you how big a SF fan I am. I can't tell you how obsessed I was with it back in the day. I can tell you how my high school career suffered as a result: greatly. Akuma definitely executed a shun goku satsu on my GPA.
