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.
