A new concept art for a character in Street Fighter V has surfaced on the web.

A Leak? A misunderstanding? A mistake?

Whatever it is, it's not all good news. It's not good news at all actually.

The name of this newcomer is ZEN, he's from India and apparently Capcom decided to scrap him before anything could be said about him.

I suppose this is what happens to hundreds of possible characters, but to see an actual artwork and name: that sucks.

This is what he looked like, speculations want he was not included in the roster due to Dhalsim being Indian too... Should we believe that?

Street Fighter 5 is the 5th official release of the well known franchise (but if we had to consider the turbo mega super ultra editions, it might as well be the 98th) set to be launched on February the 16th, you planning to pick this one up? What's your feeling about the exclusion of Zen?
