Ah, that's a bit better, Capcom. Following an earlier leak, the Japanese publisher's gone ahead and confirmed that Guile will be April's new Street Fighter V combatant. The muscular military man will return with all of his well-known techniques intact, along with his really-dumb-but-somehow-still-cool iconic hairdo.
As with Alex, March's additional fighter, Guile will be free to use until the title's in-game store allows you to spend real money. Of course, He'll also come with his own story and set of trials, while season pass owners will, of course, be able to nab him and his premium costumes for no extra charge.
That's not all, though. Originally appearing in Street Fighter II, the air force base stage will be making a comeback, and the new location will again be free for those who purchased the aforementioned season pass. Everyone else will have to cough up a reasonably hefty 70,000 Fight Money to unlock it. Good job those matchmaking improvements are incoming, eh?
To round things off, Capcom also confirms that more news regarding the game's April update will be shared in the very near future. The update itself will implement a new system that automatically deals with rage quitters by having their access to matchmaking blocked for set periods of time. Hopefully this'll be enough to discourage such acts.
Will you be maining Guile when he brings the boom later this month? Give that hair a comb in the comments section below.

They should be releasing atleast 2-3 new fighters per month..... At this rate it will take the best part of TWO YEARS to match SF4's roster of characters .
I must admit i hate way They're drip feeding content to us. I mean it conceivably be NEXT YEAR before they release my favourite character!
@JoeBlogs yeah but theres plenty of room for, Fei long, Dee jay , E Honda, Blanka, Dudley, Balrog. Etc
And as for "weirdos who nobody ever uses" see F.A.N.G in SFV !!!! I've played over 200 online matches and never faced FANG once.
YES.
And YES to bringing back the stage.
ALL street fighter II stages should make a comeback, they were the best ones
Why does Guile look like mall security?
YES! Please bring back all the classic stages...
So we are all expected to pay full price for a beta/work in progress and then shell out extra cash for "DLC", (aka what should've been there in the first place)??? Screw that. I'll just wait a year or two for the inevitable Super Duper Amazing Complete Ultra Street Fight V.
I realise how amazing the original characters designs were back in the 16 bit era. Each character was unique and had a great design. I really think Street Fighter II was a masterpiece.
Hype.
Damn, that stage looks so great! So much nostalgia I really am looking forward to buying this one day...but just not sure about the drip-feed nature of it. I see why it's there to a degree, keep the game evolving and relevant and all that, but for a more casual fan I think I'd rather just have it all right from the start.
Just makes the current game all the more disappointing with a throwback stage that's a reminder of how awesome this series once was.
