Guile’s best mate Charlie Nash has been announced as a fighter in Street Fighter 5, and Capcom’s released a new video showing his particular brand of fisticuffs.
He sure looks a lot more grumpy than I remember him. Mind you, in the official continuity (yes, there is one!) he got killed, so that’s sort of understandable.
Yes, Charlie seems to now be half haircut, half robot. His ability to kick people in the head luckily remains unimpaired. Phew, SFV has a nice look to it, doesn’t it? A natural evolution of SFIV’s chunky, cartoonish style. The game also seems to feature some kind of contextual environmental finisher system - at one point Charlie boots Ryu into a train carriage, and he collapses into a seat.
Street Fighter 5 will feature cross-platform multiplayer with the PS4 when it’s released in late 2015/early 2016.
