To further support the iOS, or iPhone and iPod Touch version of Street Fighter IV, Capcom will include Crimson Viper as the next free downloadable character. She comes after two previous free downloads – Cammy and Zangief. An early video shows that she seems to retain her abilities from Street Fighter IV. No date announced yet for the character, so fans will have to wait on that. Screenshots and video after the jump.

Crimson Viper was one of the four new characters introduced to Street Fighter IV when it first came out in the arcades. She's still in the new version, Super Street Fighter IV.In addition, she’s also known as one of the harder characters to learn, constantly requiring great execution from players. It will be fun to see players try to execute combos using the touch screen layout and inevitably fail. It’s great to see Capcom release more free updates for this game and the ensuing fallout from Capcom fans declaring their company superior to Arc System Works, who’s charging for each downloadable character.
