The Ultra Street Fighter 4 update, which is due out this summer, will allow players to use a completely new fighter that's never been seen before in the series since its inception in 1987.

Street Fighter series' executive producer Yoshinori Ono has announced that Ultra Street Fighter 4 will land in Japanese arcades on April 17, allowing fans to assume control of Decapre, one of M. Bison's dolls.

Though similar in looks to Cammy, her fighting style is completely different, as it can be seen in this Decapre moves video that Capcom released to showcase her arsenal and get fans excited. She relies mainly on tricks, and her unique style allows her to combo air throws, being the only brawler in the game capable of doing that.

But Ultra Street Fighter 4's list of additions does not stop here, as the update will also bring huge balance tweaks, a new select mode that will allow players to choose which version of their favorite character they want to play and many other changes.

Ultra Street Fighter 4 will add five more characters to the fighter roster, Elena, Rolento, Poison, Hugo and Decapre, and will launch in Japanese arcades on April 17, then on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in June, and on the PC in August.
