Sakura confirmed in Street Fighter IV

Today Street fighter Alpha fan can rest easy. It has been confirmed that Sakura will join the cast of Street Fighter IV’s console release. Also joining is Seth, the boss of SFIV’s arcade version. This brings the console exclusive character total to five, including Dan, Cammy and Fei-Long.

As somewhat of a Street Fighter connoisseur, this news makes my day. There is nothing like owning a fireball spammer by exploiting Sakura’s arcing hurricane kick.

Street Fighter IV is currently being developed for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. No release date has been announced yet, however many predict that it will be out by early 2009.
