With all the news about Ultra Street Fighter IV’s Decapre floating around, there’s gotta be one or two of you out there thinking, “Yeah, gameplay information is cool and all, but can I hear a bit about how she fits into the story?” No? Well, too bad, because producer Tomoaki Ayano focuses mainly on the new fighter’s background in the latest installment of Capcom’s development blog.

Below, you’ll find some new details on Decapre’s background as well as screenshots from her story mode cutscenes courtesy of Capcom-Unity. Capcom plans to discuss her abilities at length in future posts, so stay tuned.

For those not in the know, Decapre is a clone of Cammy. At a quick glance she does look like a scary Cammy with a mask.

This is the main poster. We’ve brought out the aura around her braids and her claw is glowing, perhaps reflecting the owner’s intent. And check out the background—are those dolls in those capsules?! Speaking of capsules, there was something similar in one part of her opening movie.

Decapre was also inside one of these capsules. Could this be where the cloning process takes place? The mystery deepens.

Is this Cammy as a kid? It looks like she’s talking to Decapre. We can guess that the two have met before in the past. Kid Cammy doesn’t quite have the stern look that she’ll eventually develop. She looks much more innocent!

However, it seems that Decapre harbors an intense hatred towards Cammy. What could have happened between the two?

Speaking of angry, when you look at her development sketches, it seems she’s mostly either screaming of frowning. And what’s with that scar underneath her mask?! Despite being Cammy’s clone, her facial expressions differ quite a bit and she feels younger in general. Just who is she? And what will happen between her and Cammy?! Perhaps the opening and ending movies might just shed a little light on the subject.

In addition to the story details, Ayano also shared some very rudimentary info on her playstyle, accompanied by a pair of new screenshots, the latter of which we’ve included below. Feel free to visit Capcom-Unity for the full post.
