We're not exactly sure if it was supposed to be a secret, considering we've seen his ginger likeness in media for the game before, but Capcom recently revealed a few Street Fighter IV screenshots featuring the series' crimson-haired big bad, Akuma. Apparently, he only rears his nefarious head when an arcade player is doing a little too good, and hasn't fed the machine any precious quarters in a while. While he may seem like SFIV's official toll collector, the video posted after the jump proves that he can, in fact, be whooped up upon -- and that he's also a Hadoken-spamming jerk.

The only time Akuma should be mentioned in the news is if he's not in a Street Fighter game. He's been in every main Street Fighter game since his debut in Super Street Fighter II Turbo with the exception of SFIII: New Generation (though Second Impact and 3rd Strike added him back in). I got a chance to play Street Fighter IV and so far he's just a secret boss, though later down the road there might be a code to select him like in SSF2T.

And for those in Southern California, there's an arcade with SFIV called Super Arcade. The only problem is that it's $0.75 per game and the sticks are bad
