Video: Street Fighter 4’s Abel in focus

A lot of us can’t get enough of Capcom‘s Street Fighter 4 previews, and the devs are spoiling us with screenshots and trailers coming in steadily. This time, we’ve got a nice, long look at newcoming muscleman Abel. You’ll see some samples of the stuff he can do in the clip after the jump, so go right ahead and click on “read more” below.

The hype surrounding one of Capcom‘s most anticipated upcoming games is getting louder with every trailer they launch. Of course, we’re talking about Street Fighter 4, the latest iteration in the most popular fighting game series the business has ever seen.

In this video, Capcom is treating us to an in-depth look at one of the many characters in SF4: musclebound French newcomer Abel. His power moves and fighting style is exhibited in both still and motion frames in this clip, and he looks to be a deadly mix of strikes and grapples in one explosive package.

One word of warning, though: If you’re a diehard Guile fan, you might want to skip this one. The American special forces warrior takes on the role of a practice dummy to demonstrate the kind of punishment Abel can dish out.
