Abel is the second newcomer to be revealed for Street Fighter IV, and according to Capcom he happens to be suffering from amnesia.  Apparently Street Fighter games have a story that I’ve been unaware of.  The graphics still aren’t quite clicking with me in screenshots but I’m sure they’ll work better in motion.  The important part is the gameplay though, as long as it’s solid (and hopefully includes lag free online play) then we should be in business.  So far the game has only been announced for arcades, but I’m sure Capcom can’t resist putting this on the 360 and PS3 eventually.  Click below to read more about Abel and see additional screenshots.

That guy reminds me of Cody from SFA3.

I am really hoping that the gameplay is solid because they took out parrying which was one of the best aspects of SF3:3rd Strike.

Who was the first newcomer?

The first newcomer is Crimson Viper:

Ok after seeing this in action:

I am really amped for this. Fighting looks really smooth and the animations are top notch. It doesn’t look like ass like it does in the still shots.

hopefully this will still be a solid fighter.. i planned on buying it
