Gouken for Street Fighter IV console

By Robert Purchese Published 29 September, 2008

Ryu and Ken's master back from dead.

Gouken, the chap who taught Ryu and Ken how to fight, will be a secret unlockable character in the console version of Street Fighter IV.

That's according to Japanese magazine Famitsu (read by Kotaku), which rarely tells porky pies.

Gouken looks rather healthy for someone who's supposed to be dead. He also happens to be the brother of evil boss Akuma.

The PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of Street Fighter IV are yet to be dated.

However, you can play the game at the Eurogamer Expo in London in October. How? On the arcade machines Capcom is supplying, silly. Tickets for the event are cheap and on sale now.
