Street Fighter 5’s final character, Luke, is a “major” part of the next Street Fighter game, Capcom has said.
“Luke will be a major part of the next Street Fighter project, so we hope you are excited to get your hands on him,” Capcom said as part of a deep dive into the brand new character, below:
So, who is Luke? He’s a blonde American mixed martial artists who experienced some dramatic childhood event involving his father that inspired him to become a fighter and join the military. Based on images shared by Capcom, Luke runs into Guile at some point.
As for combat, Capcom said he revolves around forward-moving attacks that keep the pressure on. All three of his normal punches propel Luke forward, so he can close distances quickly. He’s got two target combos, a mid-to-long range projectile and an anti-air that launches him upwards.
