Street Fighter IV is playable at the AOU Arcade Show in Tokyo, and Capcom had a surprise for us there with the first showing of a new character named Abel. Images and artwork inside.

The more I see footage of other titles like KOF sticking with 2D the more I don't like what I see here.
You should see ArcSystem Works(guilty gear) next game called BluBlaze. Looks miles ahead of KOF in terms of 2d sprites. Also, there's still the option of just playing SF2 HD Remix.
looks like the steve fox of street fighter..
He won't last..
You are correct. SF4 takes place before SF3 and he isn't in SF3.
buying this and the arcadestick ... then go back 15 years in time and the only difference will be better graphics and less pennies in the arcademachine .

Whoever came up with that timeline = fail.
You can blame the fans. SF3 took place so far after SF2 many of the characters were deemed too old to fight, which is why we didn't see many veteran fighters. Fans wanted them back, so SF4 came along.
Also, there are much worse timelines in games. Another capcom series, Devil May Cry for example, has this timeline: DMC3, then DMC 1, (then the animated series) then DMC 4, then DMC 2. I've seen way too many confused people thinking DMC 4 takes place directly after DMC3, thus trying to make a connection between 2 characters(won't spoil anything).

Nope, blaming Capcom for this one. This suggests that SF fans don't want SF3 characters in this game, which would be uh, bullshit. This is a damn fighting game, and honestly, the fans don't care much about continuity. If Ryu, Ken, Akuma, and Chun-Li were young enough to appear in SF3 (and they've all aged extremely well) than so was Guile.. and honestly I don't think anyone was getting worked up over E. Honda.
This games producer is pretty clueless, and these new character designs are nothing worth bragging about either--I guess they shouldn't be though, since they're all going to abandon the SF tournament before SF3 rolls around! ;P
This is a fighting game. The story, and timeline, are basically meaningless. I suppose we should blame the fans that this game seems to be targeted at a different audience all together than SF3? They talk about accessibility, and flashy, combo driven gameplay being a focus here.. how is that following the demands of the franchises most loyal fans?

Actually, the fans wanted both SF2 and SF3 characters in a Street Fighter game without SF2 characters looking like grandma and grandpa fighters.

This would be true, had it not been for the creators, SF Alpha, and the animated movies and the anime series, which all developed a timeline.

It's not. Why? Because that comment wasn't directed at the current fans. He's trying to bring in new fans.
