We finally have confirmation from Capcom that Akuma is going to be included in the Street Fighter IV arcade version…Which obviously means he will be wedged into the console version. However he is not playable in the arcade, apparently he pops in on singleplayer when a really skillful person is playing. Kind of like Capcom VS SNK 2, if you play good and get enough points, Geese or Bison comes by to fight at some point. Anyway we’re just glad he’s in there somewhere! It truly is a worthy SF sequel as of now.
