TONS of new Street Fighter IV screens: Abel will kick you in the balls

Capcom just passed along over 70 new pictures of Street Fighter IV. The photos show off Crimson Viper and Abel using their moves to kick some serious ass against Guile and a few other Street Fighters. The cool thing about most of the photos is that they are all sequential and certain chunks look like an animated gif if you cycle through them quickly enough. Plus, some of the facial expressions in the photos are pretty hilarious. 

Seth Killian over at the Capcom Blog also just uploaded a video giving a lot of details on Abel's moves set. Seth gives some pointers for future Abel players in how some of the moves can be chained together. One really interesting thing that Seth mentioned about Abel is his Ultra Combo. Abel will actually kick opponents in the groin a couple of times before throwing them into the air and then slamming them back down to the ground. Now that's ultra!

The nice things about the screens is is shows off that, even minus the ink flood present in the teaser, these really are starting to look painted.

Guile's American Flag Tattoo is wrong. He's an ex soldier right? You can then draw the conclusion that the tattoo's are supposed to resemble the American Flag patches on a military uniform. Well military uniforms with the flags on the shoulders always have the stars toward the front (so technically the right shoulder's flag looks backwards) because the stars are supposed to look like they are going into forward into battle and not retreat. So right now his left shoulder is going into battle and the right shoulder is retreating.

I think it's time for Dtoid to upgrade the old screenshot viewer. It's 3/4 of those images' overflow is getting cutoff something fierce.

That hand-drawn shading looks amazing. Kinda like a less exaggerated Okami style. I'm impressed. But still, why penis why?!?!?

I think Crimson Viper may be entering my regular arsenal.

Wait, you know what I mean.

@ArrestedDeveloper

maybe guile was too sissy to get real tattoos , so he is using those stick-on tattoos and he couldnt find any which was a left-to-right american flag

I really go back and forth on the look of this game. I hope it looks great in motion.

Abel looks like the bastard chimeric offspring of Guile Ryu And Zangief.
I like the art style, its different. I wouldnt give this game a second glance if it looked like Ut3/gears etc.

@D-Toid WebDesigner, nice new gallery thing but you really need to have the current screenshot centerd in the scroll bar panel, pain in the ass constantly scrolling to the last screenshot you clicked on.

.. also, cocks.
