Earlier this week Capcom gave us a quick look at some of the returning characters in Street Fighter IV. Today, we’ve got our first glimpse at newcomer Abel, the 10th brawler to be unveiled in Street Fighter IV. In anticipation of the upcoming AOU expo in Japan, Capcom has officially released seven new screenshots and a brief bio on the character:

With no memory of his past, this young man has no choice but to move forward, using any clue he can get his hands on to rout out what may be left of Shadaloo. His fighting style represents a mix of multiple martial arts. Though he appears gruff and unfriendly on the surface, he is not the misanthrope he seems to be. His serious and polite nature is easy to misinterpret as indifference, but these still waters run deep indeed.
