Everyone already knows that Street Fighter IV is going to be pretty awesome, giving us access to the original eight from Street Fighter II, as well as the original four boss characters. But we’ve got to pay attention to the new characters as well.

El Fuerte Joins Street Fighter IV (New Character)

Should we be thanking Nacho Libre for this? Virtua Fighter 5 introduced us to El Blaze and now the newest world warrior to join the cast of Street Fighter IV is some guy named El Fuerte. My Spanish is a little rusty, but I believe that roughly translates to The Fuerte Hot One. Okay, I’m […]
