Zeku, the Ever-Changing Ninja, infiltrates Street Fighter V on October 24!

First seen in Street Fighter Alpha 2, Zeku was Guy's former teacher, who taught him to master Bushinryu, a style of ninjutsu. Eventually, Guy was able to obtain the title of 39th Master of Bushinryu. Zeku then disappeared and was never seen again...until now! Zeku has reappeared looking to start his own ninja group and find a new fighting style.

Love the V trigger/Strider/thing.

 

[MrCarter]

Wow four threads already lol. His theme is dope! Can’t wait to get more details on him but so far he looks creative.

 

[Moaradin]

His theme is pretty dope. Love that his V Trigger (V Skill?) literally turns him into Strider lol

 

[TheMink]

He looks so awesome I want to play this game again.

 

[plasmawave]

SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK.

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

Everything about this is so sick. Especially the theme. Its classic Capcom

 

[MrCarter]

It seems like his Trigger changes his entire move set.

 

[sixteen-bit]

 

[Tizoc]

Do we know who his JP voice actor is?

 

[Pompadour]

I'm ready to declare his theme song the best piece of music in the game.

Edit: And his story costume is a fucking suit!

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

Was that strider?

 

[entremet]

He plays very different from Guy, which is great. I was expecting a Guy style.

Love the Strider costume.

 

[Rymuth]

Awesome theme and pretty cool design

 

[Zackat]

That was sweet. I need that Capcom unity post

 

[Oreiller]

His theme is fantastic.

 

[Veal]

Ok he looks awesome! Is he a Strider??

 

[Ryce]

His theme sounds familiar.

 

[Megawarrior]

Strider snuck into street fighter. I'm shaking.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Genkai!

 

[def sim]

Can’t tell if he’s turning young for his v-trigger or if he’s a goddamn cheater!

 

[BitStyle]

Yo his theme is great. Looks like a fun character

 

[epmode]

Four threads enter
One thread leaves

 

[farisr]

Another blonde? LMAO.

Can't watch the trailer right now, will in a bit, but all these Strider mentions have me curious.

 

[papertoonz]

okay how does that outfit change stuff work?

 

[Lulubop]

His battle costume for his younger form is literally strider! Looks real dope.

Another blonde? LMAO.

what?

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

Another blonde? LMAO.

Another shitpost

 

[jett]

Dang I refreshed immediately before posting the thread lol.

He looks awesome. I'll def give him a try.

His theme sounds familiar.

Music in SFV continues to be the best.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Cool

 

[Tizoc]

Assuming he can change into his younger self during a match, he would be among the first characters in a VERY long time to do so, at least since Atlus' Power Instinct series (someone correct me on this)

 

[Pompadour]

His theme sounds familiar.

I absolutely love how 70's Zeku is. He's giving me strong Lupin vibes with his sideburns, suit alt, and the theme song.

 

[Cepheus]

His face does not suit his fighting style or outfit or anything. It makes him look like an Overwatch character or something.

 

[lucebuce12]

Can’t tell if he’s turning young for his v-trigger or if he’s a goddamn cheater!

We already know that R.Mika's the goddamn cheater!

 

[Surfside]

He looks sick in his Strider costume.

 

[Raitaro]

Love his younger Strider look but I'm not sold on his regular foppish old English/French gentleman face, honestly. Looks a bit too much like a cross between that actor who played Tywin Lannister and one of the four Musketeers. Maybe he'll grow on me though.

 

[Nibel]

Great theme and cool moveset

 

[Pompadour]

Love his younger Strider look but I'm not sold on his regular foppish old English/French gentleman look, honestly. Looks a bit too much like a cross between that actor who played Tywin Lannister and one of the four Musketeers. Maybe he'll grow on me though.

But his hair is white?

 

[BitStyle]

So is that Strider look an alt costume, or is it a transformation he can activate?

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

Why is strider blonde as an old man?

 

[Luigiv]

I don't know how to feel about those mutton chops...

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Cool

His suit looks nice

 

[Tizoc]

So is that Strider look an alt costume, or is it a transformation he can activate?

Didn't you know? All sexy ninja grampas can transform into Strider for their grandchildren's birthdays

 

[Pompadour]

So is that Strider look an alt costume, or is it a transformation he can activate?

It's both. His alternate (younger?) self happens to look a lot like Strider. His Battle Outfit, however, literally is Strider.

 

[Ryce]

I absolutely love how 70's Zeku is. He's giving me strong Lupin vibes with his sideburns, suit alt, and the theme song.

Yeah, it's awesome.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Oh shit Strider!

 

[Lulubop]

Theme is fucking flames

 

[Jawmuncher]

Gonna add Strider to my list of less selling franchise that get treated better than DC now.

 

[BlizzKrut]

Interested in the form changing thing, wonder how that works.

 

[Veal]

Assuming he can change into his younger self during a match, he would be among the first characters in a VERY long time to do so, at least since Atlus' Power Instinct series (someone correct me on this)

I have been seriously wanting a character like the twins in street fighter for a minute! I never liked Guy all that much but Zeku is day one for sure!

 

[papertoonz]

Can't tell if he's turning young for his v-trigger or if he's a goddamn cheater!

that's not his v-trigger i think

like i think his v-trigger is that he get teleport dashes and can chain his normal together

he might be like gen or something
