Sony has announced that Vega will be included in Street Fighter 5 as a surprise reveal today. He will be playable at Gamescom and also comes with an all new gameplay technique. For the first time, Vega will be able to fight either with or without his claw. You can sheathe his claw at will in order to utilize all new grab and throw techniques but also may be forced to fight this way. If your opponent knocks your claw off, then you no longer have the option to pick it back up.

These new features ensure an all new way of playing as the Spanish ninja as an entirely new move set enters the picture.  Pre ordering the game online gets you immediate access to the beta prior to the game’s release next year only on PS4.
