While it's been less than four months since Capcom's announcement of Street Fighter IV, the game's debut today at the Amusement Machine Operators’ Union show in Japan revealed that its development is far enough along for all known characters to be fully playable. Given that, it's not surprising that Capcom already has a good idea on when the game will be ready for the arcades.
Earlier this week, we shared with you some new screenshots from Street Fighter IV. Capcom have been busy releasing shiny new art for our consumption in the lead up to the AOU Arcade Show this weekend in Japan. The new art is that of the new playable character to the series - Abel. Wrapped in shrouds of enigma, Abel is a man with no past...
The new World Warrior is Abel. Described as "a man without a past," Abel has gathered what little clues he can as he searches for remaining members of Shadoloo. As his tag line suggests, he has a terrible case of amnesia.
Yes, that's your chin that's twelve feet off the ground and that's our chunky fist propping it up. Sho-ryu-ken! You know what Street Fighter's all about, from the first baby steps mashing the SNES pad to the intricate magic of SF III's parry system - it's all about knocking people out of their socks. And Street Fighter IV is going to knock a hell of a lot of socks off. Oh yes.
Everything old is new again in Capcom's upcoming sequel to this legendary fighting series. Find out about the newly announced characters and more in this interview.
