The Satsui no Hado living within Ryu became sentient, apparently, and has risen as Kage, which implies shadow in Japanese. "Kage lives to prove Ryu is nothing without him and seeks to challenge Akuma and Sagat, two of Ryu's most notorious rivals," Capcom said.
Kage's moveset is a great deal like Evil Ryu's from Street Fighter 4 he has that cool axe kick, however there are a few contrasts. His ground Hadoken doesn't make a traditional fireball, his air Hadoken flies on a level plane noticeable all around, and his hurricane kick rotates only once and delivers just a single kick.
His V-Trigger I is a teleport move (this can likewise be utilized in the air as an air dash for garish combos). His V-Trigger II is an attack useful for keeping up the pressure and for dropping blocked compasses.
Kage's Critical Art is Ryu's chin-smashing super from past Street warriors with a Kill Bill bend. He's likewise got a Raging Demon attack, yet he can just do this while in V-Trigger II.The character will cost PlayStation 4 and Steam players $6.
