Coem cool news came out of the Teppen World Championship this weekend as we learned that Akuma will be coming in January. He will join a new set of cards coming into the series called "The Force Seekers", bringing with him an aggressive style of gameplay. The game will also be getting a brand new skin for Ryu as Evil Ryu will be added as a brand-new Legendary Hero Skin. The final bit of news from the tourney saw the first champion be crowned, as Huai-Yong "Last Guardian" Wu took home the title. He ran the tables with his Dante and Morrigan decks, setting his place in history at the inaugural championship.
