He also the founder of Ansatsuken, which is the martial art used by Street Fighter mainstays Ryu, Ken, and others.

Another speculated to be the third DLC fighter is Matthew McCoy. The Delta Red member has reported being the weapon specialist for his team. He is rumored to have some kind of cybernetic enhancements. His profile also shows that he holds a built-in special weapon on his right arm.

The fourth suspected character might be the experimental doll commanded by M. Bison, Satsuki.The experimental doll has appeared to be a highly skillful, but secretive one.

Finally, the last suspected character could be Luke, which has already been picked as one of the characters in Capcom's canceled game "Capcom Fighting All-Stars." His CFN profile describes him as a fighter who prefers to use kicks.

In other Street Fighters news, Akuma will also be available on Dec. 20 along with his story content and the Premium Battle and Nostalgia outfits. Capcom has also announced that five remaining DLC characters will follow Akuma next year.
