It seems that one of the new characters to be added to Ultra Street Fighter 4 will be a female that is somehow related to the comic books that have been created around the universe of the video game, although no official name has been offered yet.

Siliconera, which seems to have special access to sources inside Capcom, says that the link to the comics has been confirmed by someone associated with the new game and that the manga is the likeliest information source.

Sarai Kurosawa, a friend of Ibuki that first appeared in UDON manga series and was featured in some cutscenes in other games, could be added to Ultra Street Fighter 4, according to fans.

Elena, Hugo, Poison and Rolento are the characters that Capcom has officially confirmed as being included in its next fighting game.

Alongside new fighters, players will also get access to a variety of gameplay tweaks that will improve the tournament experience.
