Street Fighter V’s final Season 2 character Zeku will join the stage of history [Wrong series – Ed] on 24th October, publisher Capcom revealed in Singapore earlier today. The character – who was Guy’s moustached trainer in Street Fighter Alpha 2 – is being billed as the “ever-changing ninja”, and it appears that his appearance will alter depending on what combo you do. He even has some Strider Hiryu-themed threads!
As mentioned, the release of Zeku marks the end of Season 2 support for Street Fighter V, but a third group of DLC fighters will be added to the title following the introduction of its Arcade Edition, which has pledged some much-needed improvements to the oft-criticised brawler. What do you make of the game’s newest addition? Grow some killer chops in the comments section below.

Looks incredible tbh!
From the trailer I gather he's a stance based character (think Gen in SF4) and his appearance changes depending on the stance. The V-trigger is not his transformation but appears to be some sort of customisable auto-combo (think V-ism from Street Fighter Alpha series). I'd even say the old version appears to be circle motion based and the younger version a charge character from the appearance of their moves.
My question is...is he THE Strider? Or just a strider?
Why does he hate young girls?
Now that Capcom are done with season 2 and I hope for classic characters for season 3. Sagat is almost a dead cert but Blanka for me (for fanboy reasons) but maybe they should add at least one fighter for each mainline SF game to go with the arcade mode.
Sagat for SF1
Blanka for SF2
Q and Oro for SF3
Crimson Viper for SFIV
And maybe Sakura for Alpha.
@adf86 I think Sagat is 99% sure at this point and will probably be released at Capcom Cup like Akuma last year. And Sakura is very very likely.
I agree they will probably try to flash out those arcade mode branches so we will see a lot of returning characters from different episodes of the game! I still hope Rose will make her comeback! Italian girl ftw
@Feena Wouldn't mind Rose at all, never heard of her till SFIV but found her a lot of fun.
@3MonthBeef Yeah I found that out later, would love the alpha series to be ported over which knowing Capcom it's probably next week
One of the few truly cool looking characters in the game, in my jaded opinion.
Cool character and I like his theme. Overall, I thought the new characters introduced in season 2 we’re cool. I do not like Ed though. As for Akuma, meh. I just don’t care for the guy, just like how he was included in Tekken 7 I really didn’t care. Sagat is sure to make his return, but I don’t care about him either. Give me Blanka and E Honda.
@shonenjump86 yes from the gameplay perspective season 2 characters really were a huge success imho. They are all unique and bring something new and interesting to the game. Capcom still has a magic touch with this kind of things.
@Feena yup, I’m looking forward to what season 3 characters will be. New or old.
He looks super fun over a naff season 2. I'm... actually excited for him?! Might even be an instant main. Love me some cool old dudes.
X-kira said S3 will release like this. Return char. New char. 2 return chars. New char. Return char.
Im hoping the return chars are makoto sakura oro and Either Q, sagat, gouken, abel. But 1st and formost MAKOTO!!!
