Capcom has just dropped a new gameplay video to show off Blanka making his way into the game thanks to the Arcade Edition of Street Fighter V. The video above showcases all of his moves, a full character introduction, and more. Check it out!

For a little more backstory regarding the formerly known as Jimmy character, here is how Capcom has officially described the fighter and his beginnings with the franchise:

"First appearing in Street Fighter II, Blanka (birth name, Jimmy), survived a plane crash over the Amazon and learned to fend for himself by fighting wild animals and developing survival skills. He eventually found his way to civilization where he met Sakura and Dan, and developed deep friendships with them over time. Blanka’s mother, Samantha, happened to see him on TV and tearfully reunited with him to bring him home.

In SFV: AE, Blanka is living peacefully with his mother, and has adapted well to being introduced back into society. One day, a suspicious salesman approaches him and offers a way to make Blanka famous by mass producing a doll made in Blanka’s likeness. Will it work? Find out in his character story mode!"

If you haven't checked out Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition yet, it contains all of the season one and two DLC characters, as well as a few additional modes:

Arcade Mode
Extra Battle Mode
V-Triggers for the roster
