New Streetfighter Unveiled

Not content to rest on its laurels, CapCom has decided to introduce a new character to the venerable Street Fighter series.

The company has unveiled Abel, an extremely muscular fighter dressed in red, white and blue, for Street Fighter IV.

He is described on the company website as polite and sober, contrary to all appearances. He is also apparently a sufferer of amnesia and on a quest to discover “the remnants of Shadaloo.”

The game’s development, announced to be in progress in October of last year, is reportedly taking place in Japan.
